Enjoyed the massage and expertise but the experience has room for improvement. lights too harsh, no music, waited a long time for massage to begin. However i do feel my pains were addressed which is why I was there.

Waste of time

Business response:

I'm sorry your therapy disappointed you. Since you haven't provided any details, my response will be general. When I work with clients, I spend a generous amount of time gathering information to create a customized session, explaining my approach, and encouraging clients to communicate with me if the treatment isn't addressing their needs. Unfortunately, it didn't work this time. Please feel free to call me with your feedback, and meanwhile, I wish you all the best!

I went to Marzena with pain and restricted mobility in my shoulder/neck aggravated by weightlifting and ineffective chiropractic treatment. After one session with Marzena, my shoulder/neck tightness was almost gone and I had regained a lot of mobility. Marzena approaches her work with a clinical focus and great technical skill. She gives and solicits active feedback during the session and - unlike every other massage therapist I've seen - "prescribed" simple, targeted stretches and strengthening exercises to aid my recovery. Marzena is the best massage therapist I've ever visited. I highly recommend!

I've been coming to Back to Touch for several years. In the beginning, I was conning for sciatic and lower back pain. Marzena was able to treat me for both, and it was such a relief. Once the pain was gone, I continued to visit for massages for overall health and relaxation. More recently, I experienced pain in my back and neck from working from home during the pandemic in a bad chair. Once again, Marzena relieved me of the discomfort I experienced. I'm very grateful to have found Marzena at Back to Touch, and I recommend her services to everyone I know.

This was the best massage I've ever had! Not only did I feel relaxed afterward, but I felt genuinely stretched out and relieved. Marzena was amazing! She's so kind, thorough, and genuinely funny! This was the first massage I've ever had where I felt like the masseuse explained everything to me, asked where I was holding stress, provided tips that I can do at home, and then specifically addressed the stressful areas in the massage. It was a fantastic experience. This is more than just a "relaxing" massage, it is truly bodywork. And while it's deep tissue - it doesn't hurt at all! It's just relieving. Honestly - go book Marzena right now - you won't regret it!
