J&J Kneadwell

My very first experience having a massage. Here’s how it went.
The location in Campus Tower is right across from the U of A hospital. Parking is an issue if you don’t want to pay for the Impark lot next door, but that’s nothing unusual for the area. Parking on the street is usually available if you don’t mind walking a bit.
They are celebrating their 1^st year anniversary by having a Hawaiian Month promotion, though other than the sign outside, nothing was Hawaiian. I’m not knocking it, there just wasn’t any Hawaiian themed things anywhere. I’d have been tickled if they put plastic cheesy lei on me and gave me a mango juice with an umbrella in it. That would have been enough :-)
Massage was excellent. Like… ***** Excellent. Current Hawaiian month special excludes their couples massage because it is already a great deal, and seeing prices at other places I agreed. I booked the couples one, $ 125 for 60 minutes for 2 people ‘relaxation massage’. Dang, that was a good deal.
I mentioned to owner Jeanette my back issues and reason for going, she focused on that and my neck cramp I had been suffering with since Monday.
Hour long couples massage was very relaxing, combining Swedish massage, deep tissue, therapeutic and whatever she kneaded as she worked from head to toes!
Took all the tension out of my neck and shoulders. Like, All of it. I was even a little woozey getting up because my heart rate was so low from being nearly asleep the whole time. Awesome.
Worked on my sore back, I felt much better after. I came in stooped over and left walking straight. It doesn’t last forever, your muscles have to relearn how to stand straight again after days of being hunched over, but even after sitting in Leva for a pizza, I was able to get straight again after a few minutes of walking again. That’s already better than I was just hours earlier.
Jeanette is very knowledgeable, has a great bedside manner and will answer any questions. She’s very friendly, so was her colleague who was working over the other half of my couples booking.
After this decadent experience, we get a bottled water after we get dressed and make our way out. Jeanette gave me free samples of muscle ointment they sell called Biofreeze. I tried it on my back when I got home, man is it ever strong and effective ice therapy. I did a little happy dance after application, it felt that good.
I’d go back no problem. Very accommodating, open Saturday. Their apprentice gives 2 free massages per client 2 days during the week, book him online, Wen is well reviewed on their booking software’s CMS, Genapp. I’m not going to use their app, you can see the pricing after you click the Book Online button without the app, which is not very clear if you didn’t know that, and their reviews are held through this app again, tied in with Google.
I’d like to see this business get some Unilocal support. They advertise with Unilocal but I don’t see a lot of reviews or check-​ins. I recommend J & J Kneadwell and will return for their expertise, Saturday hours, friendliness and excellent pricing. 5 stars, easily.

My fiancé and I booked here for a Valentine’s Day couples massage. We were greeted warmly and given a chocolate! The ladies have a great way about them and really know what they’re doing. They are there for you, 100%. The women who did our massages took their time and didn’t chit chat, which is what we asked for. They made us feel and looked so much more relaxed, I had goosebumps the whole time!
