About Us

If you’re looking for a soothing ‘spa’ experience, this isn’t the place for you. No flutey music or fluff-n-puff back rubs here. This is a medical & sports massage therapy clinic. We are all about thinking outside the box to find the true source of your pain & dysfunction. Additionally, we will work together to help you gain relief by means of corrective exercise and by guiding you in tweaking your personal habits to benefit yourself. You will likely experience some discomfort during & after your first visit - you may even hate us for a day or two. But think of it in terms of exercise - an intense workout usually leaves you with some soreness, but it lessens in time with consistency and the results are worth it. Book now & see for yourself!

Client Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying

I drive from Atlanta- and have for years now - for my medical massage with Robert. It’s worth it to me. I feel a noticeable difference in my body’s range and ease when I go regularly. I highly recommend it. I also think allowing him to apply the appropriate pressure and depth to release the muscles is key. I go for muscle work and alignment work and he delivers. He is a studied professional and shares a lot of knowledge about how to strengthen and restore the body’s physical condition.

I had on going back pain for the last year that was worsening and 3 days after my visit with Robert the pain is gone. I attribute my cure to Robert's work. It is great to sit without back pain.
Fantastic massage for pain management

I liked everything. Robert is very intelligent and has interesting things to say about my condition and how to improve it outside of his office. Also can talk about many subjects, or not talk at all if one wishes. He came recommended by Jeff Davenport, a well-known Chiropractor here in Oconee County. Robert is the ONLY MASSAGE THERAPIST he has EVER RECOMMENDED. He also plays a great sound track.
Robert is highly educated & his technique produces positive results.

Skill is actually about 10 stars

I moved to the Athens area 2 yrs ago, leaving behind a first class (chiropractic/massage-oriented) professional who had very successfully managed my age/injury/post-op related knottinesses. I was skeptical of finding a provider who could replicate his therapeutic gifts, and his parting advice was to "find someone who does a lot of soft tissue work". Robert (Simply Muscles) for me, is that person. As annotated, his agenda is not to delight your five senses, however, if you're kinked up and you know it- here's where you'll find a straightforward, medicinal massage by someone who, as muscles go, absolutely knows normal from awry. I specifically visit for help with (esp) muscle spasms that set up/sustain radiculopathy, and Robert consistently delivers relief. His space is clean, comfortable, pleasant. I like the background music. His prices are very reasonable, and an exceptional value if you purchase a package vs single visits. I couldn't be happier.

Robert is very intuitive when it comes to identifying the source(s) of pain and addressing it. Sometimes there is minor discomfort during massage due to my tight muscles, but I WANT the full benefit of the deep stretching and release of tension that I cannot do for myself, and I appreciate him listening & adapting throughout the massage. Love the new office - great location, nice ambience, and free of distraction from others in the office/complex.

I met Robert three years ago. After listening to him talk about muscle dynamics, specific to my injury and how I injured myself, and by allowing him to touch my shoulder to investigate my injury I knew Robert possessed the knowledge and had the skills to deliver message therapy that would help me. Every time I see Robert for a message he teaches me to look at life a bit differently and to examine habits such as the way I walk to improve muscle health based upon the muscles that are strained and the impact these specific muscles have on other muscles in my body. He is really really good.

I like that Robert focuses on repairing my body to improve it's range of motion and reduce pain. This allows me to heal faster and return to normal activities. Ambiance is not amazing as I'm usually in pain and could care less. I'm positive that Robert could make ambiance more important, but that is not my priority.

If you like deep tissue massage and you are working to get the most out of your body, Robert is the professional for you. He will not waste your time or money rubbing lotion on the surface of your skin; he will get deep, take his time, and educate you throughout your session. He is the only therapist I will refer people to and he is the only therapist I will ever use. I took a stack of his business cards to keep in my office. He's phenomenal. Please note: When booking your appointment it may be worth asking if the male Dr. Chase Lovejoy will be present when you're there. I recommend scheduling AROUND that dude, but Dr. Julie Lovejoy was incredibly warm and friendly.

I've had deep tissue massage before but none that left bruises ( I don't bruise easily). The inflammation is gone but the neck pain and numbness in my arms are still there. To be fair, it may require several sessions but this was my second session with an M.T. but 1st one with Robert.

Always finds 'the spot'. Robert has the strength for a good deep tissue massage.

All things considered Douglas worked on a shoulder that I am still having pain that has yet to fully resolve. It is looser but there are still issues ; burning in neck area, striation down arm, areas cramping & tightening up that is more than soreness from the deep massage. I had not been having any of this stuff prior to an initial session of tightness in the shoulder so no pain being involved then and now debilitating pain that has to be worked out. After 2 chiropractic sessions and no luck- back to massage therapy Overall I am good with the work Douglas provides as he truly focuses upon deep work -with this session using a T-bar. I would recommend Simply Muscles to anyone that needs the kinks worked out- sports/medical massage.

Robert is very knowledgeable and highly skilled. When I was referred to him 3+ years ago, I was locked in chronic pain due to extreme stress and working a "desk job". Robert has the ability to explain complex matters in a simple way, thus making it easier to understand exactly what he is doing to help me, as well as helping me become aware of small changes I can make to help myself. He has made suggestions to help improve posture, and has given me exercises and stretches that give me relief and help reverse the bad effects of sitting and working at a computer all day. Don't expect a "feel good" massage. But do expect to feel relief and learn how to help yourself.
