Center For Stress & Pain Management

I have been running a lot more outside and my body was feeling so achey. I didn’t want to spring for a full-​price massage with someone I wasn’t familiar with, so I bought a Groupon from this establishment. The building and office itself are pretty nondescript and not very sexy. The bed’s not heated, the sheets aren’t super soft. … HOWEVER, this was seriously the BEST MASSAGE I EVER HAD. And I’ve had plenty throughout my life. MARIA is a petite and adorable woman who packs this incredible freaky strength in her arms and hands. I get very cranky if I ask for a deep-​tissue massage and don’t feel satisfied. This massage hurt so good. Maria has 16 years’ experience in the field, before Raleigh was teeming with massage schools and startup massage therapy businesses. I noticed from the get-​go that her technique was different but sooooooooo much better. And again … the pressure! If you want a TRUE and experienced professional working on your sore muscles, this woman is the one to see.
