I like the smell of a massage room. The aromatherapy, candles. I didn’t see or smell that.overall massage was absolutely amazing. I guess I expect that because I have a massage studio in my home that’s equipped with all of that, including a fountain water fall.

Business response:

Hi, Here at Stone Temple Massage we strive to make the clients experience the best it can be. Due to some clients allergies we offer aromatherapy when they are requested. Due to hazards open flames are not allowed in the offices. I do offer a sound machine that has ocean, stream, rain, and several other sounds just let us know what you'd like on your next visit.

He is professional, caring, and is great at conversing to take your mind off the pain. Don’t think about booking a massage with Stone Temple Massage. You owe it to yourself to do it!

It is officially 24+ hours since my massage, & I can't stop talking about what a positive experience it was. I'm already looking forward to booking my next appointment, & want to get my husband booked with Rick too! I've had pain in my right leg for months. I've had massages from other places, & never left feeling relief that lasted more than a couple of hours. After my massage yesterday, Rick asked how I felt, & honestly, I forgot that I had been in pain prior to my appointment. When I woke up this morning, I didn't have any leg pain & walked just fine (typically I have a bit of an adjustment period & then my leg will bother me throughout my workday). Rick was wonderful to talk to, encouraged communication regarding pressure & how things felt during my appointment, & made sure my areas of concern were addressed. Thank you for such a positive experience, & I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Helped to relieve my mid and lower back pain

by Andrew on Apr 2021

Verified

I am an avid weight lifter and athlete but also a lawyer who sits most of the day for work. After years of weight training and working with bad posture my lower back pain became so bad and my range of motion became so limited that I was unable to perform exercises that required hinging at the hips and ultimately began having constant pain in my low back and pelvis. Stone Temple Massage was recommended to me by my chiropractor after months of treatment for recurring low back pain that I had been suffering from for over a year. Rick immediately identified the issues and following my first deep tissue massage I could stand without pain for the first time in over a year. I will continue with Rick and have already recommended him to my Father who is a retired chiropractor and my brother. I am still without pain a week after my first deep tissue massage and feel that I will soon be back in the gym doing heavy squats thanks to Rick and his expertise.

Rick was amazing! I recently went to St. Pete on vacation and was referred to him by a friend. I was not disappointed! The atmosphere was very relaxing, comfortable, and professional. He listened to what my needs were with a therapeutic massage and went above and beyond. Not only was it therapeutic to the soreness in my body but also to the soul. I can’t wait to visit St. Pete again so I can have another session. I wish I had my own Rick in Tennessee!

Rick was one of the best LMT's I've used. His level of professionalism, his attentiveness, and his adaptability to changes in pressure are on point. He has a steady, solid, technique that induces calm and relaxation. I've booked with him twice and will continue to do so. It's only a 4-hour round-trip drive for me, but worth the trip.

I enjoyed EVERYTHING about Rick! He was very forthcoming, honest & worked extremely professionally!! I hadn't had a massage for my neck & TMJ in over 7 months & expected to feel really sore & uncomfortable the next day. NOT!! Rick is AWESOME!! Highly recommend him & his ability to palpate & find the root cause of the pain or stiffness was amazing in & of itself. I've been a firm believer in massage therapy for over 30 years & after being hit by a drunk driver at 85mph over 20 yrs ago, I have no discs in my jaw & missing 2 in my neck. Neuromuscular massage therapy has allowed me to continue to be a productive member to society & prevented me from having to undergo any additional surgeries. I HIGHLY recommend Ricj, his abilities & willingness to educate on what should or should not happen the following day!
