Space Massage Studio

I’ve been to this studio 1-2x a year for the past 5 or so years. I used to see the owner, John, who I have previously reviewed and consider to be one of the best/most attentive massage therapists I’ve seen. For context, I am a former yoga teacher and have traveled to many countries where I’ve had the privilege to incorporate massage into my lifestyle. I am disappointed every time I get a massage in Arizona- except when I come here. John has since stopped taking clients. I booked today because I have been losing sleep over neck pain caused by a careless yoga injury last week. The woman who booked my appointment was great! She gave me several new massage therapists to consider based on my preference for Johns technique/style. I saw Zachariah today and I am so happy I did. We got started on time, he understood the assignment regarding my neck pain and spent an ample amount of time focusing on that area and the areas that influence it. I don’t usually speak during massages but I thanked him probably 2-3 times throughout because he gave me so much relief. Then, he took the time to make notes on a post it for me and explain at the end what I could continue to do at home to help all the points of concern he noticed throughout our session. I seriously love this place. Every time I leave I feel like I’ve learned something new. And no massage is ever copy/paste. If you want a session that is based on your own unique body and not just your standard, run of the mill, templated massage- this place is it.

We just left and I had to actually pause and write this review . AMAZING ! I’m from a different state … I came here with my mom simply by googling places to get a massage in the area . I had Randall and my mom had Maria G. AH-MAZING. I leave feeling SO relaxed and refreshed and my muscles feel great . My 70 year old mom is RAVING over her massage. It’s an Inviting atmosphere and very well trained therapists. DEFINITELY curated to your personal needs (and not just going through a checklist of techniques) like other places I’ve been too. When In Phoenix… I’ll be back!

My friend bought me a gift card as a birthday gift and told me I had to go to John. He’s the owner so it was a little difficult to get out schedules to match, but I’m glad I was finally able to make it in. The Arcadia location is very tranquil inside. The rooms feel like you’re in an expensive spa. John was great with the pressure I needed and stretches. His presence is very relaxing. I would recommend space studio to anyone.
