the room itself was nice but extremely cold. it smelled good in the space, i enjoyed the relaxing sounds and the lighting was warm. when i first got off the elevator, it felt like i was in a basement (which of course we are). the wallas were scuffed up and the shared bathroom definitely broke the chill vibes the school aims for within the parameters of the space.

I had a massage with a student, Patty Giron, this past weekend at PSMB. She listened to my concerns and really tailored the massage to my needs. She was super receptive to my feedback during the massage, but didn't try to engage me in unnecessary conversation during the service. I was able to really relax and I left feeling 100% more refreshed than when I went in. I gave ambiance a score of "okay" because it is a school - not a spa. The room left a little to be desired, aesthetically. And there was a class going on in another adjacent room. Even knowing that, I'd still go back in a second. The student clinic pricing is amazing.

Compared to a professional spa, the facility was just okay but they have made an effort to make it comfortable and pleasant. The massage room itself was fine, not uncomfortable in any way. The staff was very friendly and professional. My therapist worked consistently and was skilled, but was not on a professional level. That being said, I would return because of the price, and next time I will be very clear about what I want.

My only comment is that a 60 minute massage was advertised. My appointment time was 3:15. By the time I was brought in to a room, consulted with the massage therapist about my health and needs, changed out of clothes the actual start time of massage was at least 3:30. The massage ended promptly at 4:15. It was really a 45 minute massage. That said, I found it to be a very relaxing experience.

Laura asked me what I’d like to focus on prior to the actual massage. She did exactly what we discussed; and checked in with me periodically during the session to ensure I was comfortable. She worked on my “computer neck” and by time I left, the pain was gone. In my daily job, I work with students and enjoy watching their development. The massage school is an extension of that concept but I also walk out feeling wonderfully relaxed!

Overall, very pleased with my massage. The staff were friendly and professional. There was lots of personal conversation among staff, which I don't usually mind, but it makes the lobby/public areas very loud and all the noise could easily be hard in the massage rooms. Additionally, there is no way to tip using a credit card, and as someone who doesn't usually carry cash, I was unable to tip my student after my appointment, which I felt bad about. I was given his PayPal information but this is an extra step, and I forgot to do it when I got home. A way to tip with a credit card should be available or the ash only rule should be clearly stated to customers before they come in for an appointment.

Adam did everything he could to make me feel comfortable and he made a point of checking in with me periodically to be sure I was. It was a very comfortable and relaxing experience. At one point during the massage, he hit a tender area and asked if I was ok (I was, just a normally tender area near my kidney). He had a bit of trouble maintaining the music but that was a minor blip in the grand scheme of things. He made me feel relaxed - the whole point of a massage!

Very nice set up, I would highly recommend this location to any one looking to receive a massage. The cost is great and it benefits both the student and the receiver. I will be back, at these prices I can afford a quality massage more often!

The overall ambiance could be improved. But I understand that this is a school and not a spa. As a starter, paint the drop ceiling tiles in the rooms. Also, do not have lunches and stuff on tables in a public setting. Other than that, the staff was polite, professional and very good.

Surely the students take more classes than just Swedish, so I don't understand why they can only offer Swedish in the clinic. The services my body really needs and wants are only available there at professional price levels. If the students are going to be doing more than Swedish when they graduate, it seems like they should be allowed to begin figuring out their individual approaches via the clinic asap.

I give this school the highest rating because of the consistent high quality of students they produce.. Yes I am prejudice. I am not a staff member but have on occasion given classes at this school. I have been in this art field for over 20 years. I have also taught at the International School of Shiatsu, Massage Arts and Sciences (under 3 or 4 different owners). So I know and have experienced different levels of skill. I encourage you to give these students a chance to practice their art. You will be pleased at the quality of character and skill.

I don't think this is Philly Massage School's fault, but there was a distinct smell that is perhaps something the building manager should look into. Not sure if it was gas, or just general basement dampness, but I was concerned for the health of all the occupants.

I am thankful for the quality of bodyworkers that are being developed at the Philadelphia School of Massage. I have been an instructor in Shiatsu for approximately 20 years. (And yes, on occasion have taught at this school as well as two others.) I understand the value of bodywork. It is an effective tool in assisting to release the stressors of life. More important I understand the value of the spirit in which the techniques are applied. It has to come from the practitioners. It is something they bring to the table. This institution allows the student to learn new tools as well as incorporate their desire to assist others. I am encouraged by the quality of practitioner whose work I have personally experienced here. Enid F. Jones, Shiatsu Practitioner and Instructor
