Client Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying


  • Wonderful massage and considerate, thoughtful care! Michael is hands down my favorite massage therapist of all time.

    Michael is great at what he does. As we've gotten to know each other over countless sessions the experience has become better, more friendly and finely tuned to my needs. Highly recommend him.

  • Excellent massage as always!! I can count on consistency and walking away feeling positive results every time. I had a tennis match the same day and it made a world of difference for my game. Always pleasant and listens to the customers needs.

    Michael is fabulous. A wonderful person, and his massages are thorough and exactly what I ask for. I would recommend him with delight! Calla Crafts

  • Highly recommended!

    Michael is always very personal while remaining very professional at the same time. He is a very good listener and addresses the issues I identify beforehand.

  • Michael is very thorough and goes very deep (if that’s what you want) and my body felt so relaxed afterwards - I didn’t even realize I had been walking around with so much tension until he ironed out all the little knots. It’s like getting a car tune up only for your body. Highly recommend!

    Very firm and relaxing massage with a focus on where it was needed.

  • I would highly recommend Michael and feel thrilled to find him

    Honestly one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I was in so much pain in my neck and I left feeling like a new person. It was great. Highly recommend to anyone who needs pain relief in neck/back.

It was a great experience, right from the start. It was easy to set up the appointment online - that would fit my schedule. I was able to add the appointment to my calendar with ease, and received an appointment reminder - which I found helpful. I was given an option to pay in advance, which leaves one less thing to do later. The office was easy to find and Michael made my first visit very warm and inviting. He listened to what I had to say, and offered the table to be warmed and warm rice packs during my massage. I will say it was one of the best massages I have had. I will definitely be returning...soon.

Michael was incredibly considerate and gave me a thorough and thoughtful explanation of the whole process. He was accommodating with regards to a muscle injury I was recovering from and was perfect in adjusting pressure. I plan to come back several times and have already recommended him to friends and colleagues.

Run do not walk to an appt with this guy! In one session some major spots that were at level 8 pain on scale from 1-10 are down to 0-3. I hesitate to recommend as I want him to be available for me and my family and friends when we book. Great location and space.

I think Michael Milner is extraordinary in his ability to combine therapeutic treatment with relaxation massage. Other practitioners I've had, at other places, are either too mild, or too rigorous. Michael is professional, which, to me, means not chatty. During the massage I'm able to enter another zone of complete relaxation and complete awareness of my body.
