Massage Works

I went for a 90 minute massage today and was pleasantly surprised at how awesome the experience was. Wendy was very professional and the massage was excellent. Perfect amount of pressure, worked my entire body from toes to scalp, and rolled out every kink. We even talked about my sore legs from my exercise so she took the time to stretch me out a bit too. I’ve had many massages and this has got to be one of the best. I will definitely be going back!

My boyfriend requested a couple’s massage for his birthday this year. I couldn’t justify spending $ 300 at the Mandarin Oriental so I scoured groupon for a legit couple’s massage and stumbled upon Massage Works. The price was reasonable and i figured with tip, it was a solid present.
Our therapists were polite and did a good job explaining what they were working on and took time to review our health intake forms with us.
My massage was excellent. The gentleman doing it was communicative and never made me feel uncomfortable.
My boyfriends was also very good. He expressed interest in going back but we moved farther north and going to Quincy every month seems too much. The female therapist was very strong and he said she really helped some of his tightness.
The location is a bit odd — being in the basement of an office building that used to be a school but it’s a solid place.

We booked for a couple’s massage. Due to the horrible rush traffic in Boston, we were late for 10 mins. I called the massage place on the way there and the person who answered the phone was very nice and tried to ask the masseuse to give us a full hour massage despite the fact that we were late.
The couple’s massage room was spacious and wam. My masseuse, Nick, was very professional and nice. He asked me whether the strength was ok from time to time and adjust his strength based on my feedbacks. I felt much more relaxed after the massage! I would recommend this place!

I know what you’re thinking because it was exactly what I was thinking. Why would I go to a nondescript, make that creepy-​looking, building for a massage? I actually considered turning around and going home as I was approaching the door to Massage Works because I thought, «Anything could be going on behind that door and no one would know.» It’s located in the basement of what looks like an old Catholic school: dreary, brick building with few windows. The basement was pretty dismal, but as soon as I entered the door to Massage Works, my fears were calmed. The receptionist was quite friendly and calm and the atmosphere was peaceful, although basic. There are no frills here.
Sophia is clearly very knowledgable about anatomy and takes her job seriously. She wasn’t super friendly, but she was nice enough and implemented my requests into the massage. She also asked several times if I was ok, specifically regarding the pressure, and made sure I was comfortable.
I mean, I was in pain at times, but I felt amazingly loose right after my massage and I was sore for about 2 days following it. I actually considered joining their membership program, but haven’t done so yet. They send emails with last-​minute specials, which I hope to take advantage of at some point.

At first I was skeptical because of the location– its located in a very old brick building. But as soon as I walked in I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist. I’ve been to high end places, and this was the best massage I’ve ever received. The table was warm, and after asking me some questions, Andrew catered the massage to my back problems with the perfect amount of applied pressure. I will absolutely return! Thanks for a great experience!

Great massage. I had just had shoulder surgery two weeks before and was a little skeptical about doing this. I asked for upper body deep tissue. I was in heaven for 60 minutes. Truly one of the best massages ever. I didn’t hear a sound. The room was clean and blanket was heated underneath. Would highly recommend.

LOVED my massage! i came here for a couples massage with my best friend and the masseuse was very knowledgable in what she was doing. This was my first time getting a massage ever and it wont be my last!
Upon arrival we were greeted by some very friendly desk clerks and i enjoyed some complimentary free candy as I sat and waited a few minutes before my wonderfully relaxing massage, definitely will do it again!

This place really is great. My mom and I came here for Mother’s day with a Groupon deal and I was not disappointed.
We did have to wait a few minutes even though we had an appointment, but everything went perfectly and the staff was so friendly and made both of us feel very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking in the area.

Thanks to Groupon, I enjoyed a 90 minute Swedish massage. Wasn’t the most upscale place but the receptionist and staff was warm and welcoming. I was very appreciative they were able to squeeze me in the day before for my birthday :) (back in November). My masseur was very professional and informative. Thank you Massage Works I plan on most definitely come back.

Had a fantastic massage with Imma last week on friday. Firstly, she took notes as to my needs and immediately we understood each other. It was a 90 minute massage and Imma was so sweet with her gentle way yet put pressure in all the right places. Definitely I would go back again to her. I got the impression she is very intuitive and knows what the vibe of the person receiving the massage needs and works on that intuition to do the best to make it a pleasant yet healing experience. Imma did deep tissue on me and it does have an intense effect but well worth it. She definitely got those knots out.

The man-​friend bought me a Groupon for a 90 minute Swedish massage for my birthday and with the expiration date creeping up, I finally made an appointment. It was no problem making the appointment (I called Saturday for an appointment on Monday) and the person on the phone was friendly enough.
When I arrived Monday parking was tight but they share a building with many other offices so it seems as though there will always be spots opening up. The person who greeted me was friendly and professional. Soon after, Sophia came to bring me to the massage room.
Unlike the complaints of other reviewers, the room was actually on the warm side, the lighting was dim and the music was relaxing and at a perfect volume.
Sophia asked me about my preference for pressure and immediately got to work. She proceeded to give me a wonderful massage, checking in frequently about the pressure and if I was okay with it. Her hand and leg massage was amazing.
At the end, she made some recommendations about ways I could help improve my posture (even gave me some handouts on exercises). I really liked her, thought she was very professional and polite. I would definitely go back and have another massage with her.

Got a couple’s massage today with a great deal through Groupon with Drew and Mike. Getting an appointment was easy and they were able to accommodate a Saturday appointment rather soon.
To quote a prior review — «If you’re seeking a high-​end spa experience, this is not the place. However, if you’re seeking a good therapeutic massage, it’s perfect.»
Couldn’t have said it better and I think a consumer should know this going to a massage shop versus a «spa.»
We had a private room, very warm, beds were warm, and Mike & Drew were very nice and professional. Always made sure you were comfortable and OK, but def not chatty. Background music was good and I definitely was able to relax and enjoy my massage. My gf did as well and she enjoyed the services of Mike.
Would recommend to anyone.

If you’re seeking a high-​end spa experience, this is not the place. However, if you’re seeking a good therapeutic massage, it’s perfect.
It’s in the basement of an older building mostly populated by medical offices. The massage rooms are small but serviceable.
I highly recommend Drew. He is a professional, knowledgeable, and skilled therapist. He communicated with me throughout the massage but wasn’t chatty.

Walking into the building you are hit with an overwhelming smell of mold and mildew. The waiting area is dark and uninviting.
The massage room windows were covered by dirty old shades. The ceiling looked like it was going to fall down. The CD skipped throughout my hour long massage, never addressed so I assume it is a known issue they haven’t bothered to correct.
People were friendly, but I probably wouldn’t go back.

I took my mom there for massage for 2. I don’t remember my mom’s therapist name, but my therapist name is Carol and she was HORRIBLE. I’ve had many massages and this is the WORST by far. First, Carol was NOT customer friendly, not even a single smile. She had the attitude of «Let’s get this over with». The therapists point us into a small room that is bright, cold, and noisy (fan??) — The CD player kept on skipping… so she end up just turning it off. There were 2 tables there and some lotion. Not a relaxing atmosphere to begin with.
Then comes the actual massage, the therapist just «slap» COLD lotion onto your back and just rub it around. It’s not massage oil for sure… it was thick COLD LOTION. The massage was bad… I feel like she just rub lotion all over me. The last 20 minutes Carol just sit there and put her hands on my forehead and just move around a little bit… I was like «Huh??» So I asked her «Do you mind if you massage my hands a little bit?» Carol’s response was — «It’s almost time to go…» There was still 5 – 10 min left… She just doesn’t want to work. At the end, she expects a high tip… I gave her 10% and I think I should have give her NOTHING. My mom said her therapist’s attitude wasn’t as bad as Carol, but her therapist also slap cold thick lotion onto her back.
Sorry…just not impress. I will NEVER go back to Massage Works Boston. AVOID! Waste of time and money!!!

The girlfriend bought us a couples massage here and due to our hectic schedule, we eventually got to turn in in! I know, almost 2+ months later! ha! But in all seriousness, we enjoyed our time here.
The staff was great and knowledgeable of the pain and pleasure points. Caitlin, my messusse, was great. She asked if it was too hard or if I needed it a bit harder — she was very attentive. After our hour, I can say we both left fully relaxed and calm.
The only downside i would say is the couple’s experience. I’d never had a couple’s massage before, but I was thinking we would have been close to one another. Rather, we were in different rooms, but the rooms shared a common door — so we could see one another, but felt somewhat distant and separated.
I’ve been to China where for $ 15 USD you can get a 60 min full body, so the prices here wont be in the general vicinity, but that okay too. I wasn’t expecting that. Not sure regular massages are cost conscious, but other than that, I would say that it was a relaxing experience and would try it again.

Enjoyed a couples massage here recently thanks to a Christmas gift that was expiring soon. We came in on a Saturday morning and the place was easy to find, right off of 93 with parking. Good start. The building was honestly pretty beat up looking, run down carpet and water stains, not a great vibe to get you relaxed. We walked in and we must have had the first appointment of the day or something because it seemed like 4 employees were there to watch us fill out forms in the waiting room, awkward. But, the reason we came here was the massage and it delivered. Both my fiancé and I enjoyed the massage and came out very relaxed. The massage room was comfortable and the therapists were obviously skilled. Would consider going back if not for the distance between our home and Quincy, but definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

I love this place and always have, been coming for 5+ years. I used to go to treat myself once or twice a year but now I go monthly. What can I say? I REALLY like to treat myself.
I have two therapists that I see. I have Dan who I see when I am just looking for a relaxing hour. He finds the knots I didn’t know I had and is a medication free headache reliever.
Joy is my newer find. I had the pleasure of seeing her after I worked myself into the ground over the state sponsered tax-​free weekend. I gave her my top two complaints (feet and neck) and felt like a new person after that session.
Front desk staff is friendly, prices are reasonable and scheduling something last minute is pretty easy. ((Last minute specials are on the website sometimes!))
The only thing I do not like is you can hear everything in the adjoining rooms, so if you have a neighbor who’s chatty, it’s distracting.

I have been going to Massage Works since they were in Braintree and owned by the Arm Wrestler Grace Swift. It has changed hands since then, and been in a few other locations… but I have never stopped going.
The Building they are in now is a big brick building, looks kind of like an old school Building, but once inside the office it is very warm and inviting. The office staff is very friendly and I have never had a bad massage, and they are very good at doing deep tissue massage (which is what I like)
One of the best feature they have is the «Last Minute Appointment Specials» which gives you a discount on appointments that have been cancelled by other people. You call up and if it is still available you pay over the phone and go right in…
Great place, Great Staff!!!

My fault for waiting a day to make an appointment for Spa Week in town. I think everything was booked when i called around on the 2^nd day you could make reservations. I ended up making an appointment with Emily here at Massage Works in Quincy. If you don’t mind the drive south on 93, it’s a good place to check out.
The place is in the basement of an office building, which has plenty of parking. the basement smelled a little bit like a basement, but the smell was almost covered up by the aromatherapy and other products in Massage Works.
They quickly ushered me into the room, where Emily asked me what my problem areas were. Some of the rooms I walked by were cluttered office-​type spaces or storage looking rooms. The doors should have stayed shut. It wasn’t very zen feeling to see clutter.
Once i got undressed and on the table, my one hour massage was divine. She really worked out some serious kinks in my neck, shoulders, and mid-​back.
Next time… 90 minutes!
