I felt comfortable being able to express what I liked or did not. I was able to communicate openly at any time what muscle she was on and the pressure level that was being used. The massage therapist was knowledgeable about the muscles that I would inquire about during the massage.

Fantastic experience took time to actually find where I had the most pain & trouble with my back & hips. Took time to explain why I was overly fatigued in those areas.
I absolutely felt some actual relief when her work was completed can’t wait for future appointments. Great fathers day gift from a wonderful & so thoughtful daughter. Thank u Tbug! & Thank u Ruth!

A wonderful experience. I had the integrated massage which gives you a little pampering besides just the massage. She really knew the muscle groups as I could feel her manipulate individual muscles especially along my shoulder blades. A Great Experience! I will be back and highly recommend Ruth Ranson!!
