Body Sage Massage Therapies, LLC

Justin is a magician. I actually live in NYC but whenever I visit Portland I try to get a massage with Justin because they are some of the best I’ve ever had. He uses a sideline technique that is equal parts relaxing and focused. With the sideline he gets to the muscles that truly need it – muscles I’ve never even had touched in a traditional massage. He is so calming and personable, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. When I contemplate moving to Portland I definitely put «regular massages by Justin» in the pro column!

I have been going to Lisa at Body Sage massage for about 4 years now. A car accident precipitated my first visit. The first thing I noticed is that her office is clean, minimalistic and calming. I still go to her even though I am out of insurance benefits. Her massage domain is dark, clean and welcoming with good, clean smelling linens on the table. I am not talking about perfume or scented– it is just you know that everything is clean and ready for YOU. She has warming mat on the table that makes you feel relaxed as soon as you lay down. I always laugh at myself while I anticipate the massage that is about to happen. I am so excited. Then it begins. She always starts on my back and neck and I just melt into the table. Her hands are music. She does a fantastic back and neck massage. I know the rest of the massage is good too– but by the time she is done with my back I am a noodle on the table. She does check to make sure her pressure is right for you. She uses a massage lotion that never leaves my body oily. She is worth every penny.

I had an appointment at Body Sage Massage Therapies, and I was welcomed to a very relaxing room. Unfortunately another girl named Lauren arrived a couple of minutes before my, and the massage therapist somehow confused our appointments. She was very apologetic, and said that if I came back in an hour that she would still give me a massage at no charge. That was a very thoughtful offer, so I read my book for an hour, and when I came back I experienced an amazing massage. The room was dark and quiet; the therapist also didn’t talk too much, so I was able to fully relax. I will definitely be scheduling another appointment there soon.

I wanted to update my review of this place since my 2^nd experience there was really 180 from my first visit.
I went back to Body Sage to have my 2^nd Living Social massage. I really enjoyed my second massage with Lisa and would really recommend her over the previous LMT I had, which is why I was compelled to come back to Unilocal and update my stars.
