Vigor + Vim

As a massage therapist, Christopher really knows what he is doing. On top of that, he is such a kind and wonderful person who really takes the time to get to know you and the issues you are having. After one session, a painful injury I’ve had for 3 years is already feeling better and I can’t wait to go back!

Christopher is a fantastic massage therapist. The reason I like him so much is because he knows how to work with your body to figure out what is going on with any pain or discomfort you’re having, and he works with you to figure out what your bodily use pattern is that is contributing to your pain. I really like that he helps you to figure out stretches or movements that can help you, or yoga classes that can help strengthen areas that need it on your body to help alleviate your pain. Also, I have to mention that his studio is extraordinarily clean and peaceful, a very nice relaxing environment for a massage. I highly recommend Christopher!

Christopher Grohs is a talented and knowledgeable masseuse. I have had chronic pain in my left leg (sartorius muscle to be exact) and recieved instant relief after one session with him. He was very caring and extremely thorough in covering my issues while reviewing my history. As an avid yogi and former competitive runner, I can say with certainity that Chris’s technique is one of the best massage techniques I have ever recieved. His unique technique brought healing, relaxation and energy. I actually phyisically felt the discomfort in my leg dissipate. The Vigor+Vim space is also just as wonderful as Chris’s technique, filled w/​a positive energy, creativity and peace. I can’t wait to go back again!

Christopher Grohs is very talented. Best massage I have received. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I left my appointment feeling very relaxed and grounded. I cannot wait until my next appointment!

I had my first time session with Chris this past Tuesday and was impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, technique and added value.
I arrived to the appointment 10 minutes early and Chris was there with an intake form waiting for me and a cup of water. I filled out the form and Chris looked it over and asked me pertinent questions relating to my health and body history. We chatted about my goals for receiving bodywork.
I’m an avid cyclist, runner and soccer player, which Chris was able to relate to and he was very familiar with the areas that I requested the session focus on.
It was a cold, rainy day, so the heated massage table and heated packs he placed on my body were a welcomed added bonus.
Chris let me know that he tends to be quiet when he works, but feel feel free to ask questions anytime. The massage was transcending. Chris truly has a passion and level of care that I haven’t experienced with other practitioners. I lost track of all time and left the Vigor + Vim ready to relax the day away. Chris recommended that I take 12 hours away from exercise and to drink lots of fluids. He even showed me a couple new stretches afterward in the foyer that would help work some of my problem areas.
I’m definitely looking forward to my next session and wholeheartedly recommend Chris Grohs and Vigor + Vim.
His studio is in a great historic house converted into multiple offices and professional practices. Easy to find. Central location downtown and plenty of parking.

Christopher Grohs has got to be the best masseuse in Raleigh, or anywhere around. Maybe even the world. Maybe the universe.
A session with him is not a massage. it’s a journey. As if you’re traveling in a caravan of his hands. Every pause is a destination of harmony and discovery. When I come out of a session, I truly feel like I have been traveling through an incredible dream world.
He is kind, caring, generous, and his skills are incredible.
