| - With a pre-existing neck and shoulder injury, I've gone to a massage therapist almost religiously for three years. After moving to Phoenix from Indiana, I was at a loss for finding a good therapist who would listen to me before and during the massage and was reasonably priced.
It was through Groupon that I found BackFit. Still I was leery. A cheap massage does not mean a good massage. I was happy to have my fears allayed.
When I called to make my appointment, I'd thought that I might be put off since I was using a Groupon. The case was not so. Working with my schedule, I was able to get in within a matter of days.
When I arrived, the front door was locked and I was concerned. But a nurse who was returing from her lunch hour, went ahead and unlocked the door early so I could wait for the therapist to return from her lunch. While I wasn't a chiropractic patient, the nurse was open and friendly.
When the therapist did arrive, she was positive and upbeat and provided me with my paperwork, spoke with me regarding any issues I have and what I like concentrated on, and then we started the massage.
The room was softly lit and relaxing, a comfortably warmth (the day was chilly), and the therapist had a radio station playing lightly. Not the usual meditation music, which can be nice but also dull, but a classic rock station. I enjoyed the change up in music.
My therapist was talkative but not overly so. She discussed with me my health and back background, what I did for a living (sitting, standing, activity level etc), and shared light conversation about herself and the office. She focused on the areas I asked, then as time was winding down she asked what other areas I'd like worked on. She was very open to making sure my experience was as customized as I was willing to communicate with her.
After the massage was over, I felt relaxed and she had relieved much of the tension and knots from my neck, shoulders, and back, as well as my feet, wrists, and hands (all my key focus areas). I will certainly go back to her in the future - Groupon or no Groupon.
A bonus to my session was that, since I had used a Groupon for a massage, I was going to receive a free chiropractic consult. You can't beat that.
All-in-all, I would recommend BackFit Health + Spine. I will be returning as well.
