Body Harmony

I've called 3 times to set up an appointment and left a voicemail twice. I haven't been able to get a hold of anybody and I already paid for the service through Groupon!

Todd is an incredibly gifted therapist. I've hemmed and hawed over leaving a review, because I don't want him to become so booked that I can't enjoy my monthly appointment. He is intuitive with my aches and pains, and even fixed my jaw (THAT was amazing, by the way) after a very stressful peak season at work (I tend to grit my teeth when stressed).

The infrared light keeps me warm and happy, and I love that he plays Ray LaMontagne for me during my sessions too. The bathrooms in this building are always immaculate. There's a large, mostly empty private lot in back (sometimes you can catch a glimpse of the F-15s taxiiing in and out at the airport behind it too!). 5 stars to my favorite relaxation spot. This place makes my week.

This review is mostly for Rhea (more below). To know where I'm coming from -- I'm newish to Madison and was looking for a go-to spot for massage therapy. This is not my first time getting a massage, but this was the first place I've tried in Madison. After learning about Body Harmony on Groupon, I called for an appointment. I agree with the previous user that I was a little annoyed that their website was a bit out of date (no way to book online or send an email, and one of the numbers was out of service). But, I left a message for Todd and we eventually got in touch.

He was very friendly and helpful in scheduling a last minute appointment, which I was deeply grateful for because I was having issues with tension headaches and shoulder pain, and I needed fast relief. My appointment ended up being with Rhea, and she was amazing! I told her right away about my neck and shoulder pain and tension headaches. She got right to it and was very good at communicating and asking me if she was applying the right amount of pressure.

I like a lot of pressure, and Rhea applied a strong touch! She found my knots and pressure points right away, and dug in. I'm very happy and relaxed, definitely coming back!

My husband and I have been going to see Todd for over 3 years. Always professional, friendly and helpful. As a sports massage, it can be painful, but not over the top. He's done wonders with my legs, appreciated as a runner. Highly recommend.

I have been a member of Body Harmony for over a year. I have received massages from multiple therapists there and they were all good. Jennifer is amazing and hey now have a west side location that makes it even more convenient. Karen also gives a great massage and she is on the east side. You can't go wrong with any of them. They are all amazing.

I recommend joining the membership plan. I have very tight shoulders and back so regular massages really help and the ease of scheduling online really helps me especially a if I need to try to find something last minute. They have always helped get me in. These guys are great.

I purchased a groupon and scheduled a massage with Todd. Their online system is less than user friendly but he was great about scheduling for me. When I arrived for my massage Todd mistook me for someone else. When I let him know that I was a new patient he took me back to the lobby to fill out paperwork. While I was filling out the paperwork he proceeded to take his sweater off so that he was just wearing an undershirt.

While this is not innapropriate, it did strike me as unprofessional. His social interactions with me continued to be strange. While he was never inappropriate, he was less than professional. When I told him that I had suffered from tight painful calves he said "Yes!" Again, not inappropriate but not professional. I have also never had a therapist that didnt tell me to undress to my comfort level.

He just told me to undress and that he would be back with a heat lamp. At this point, as a female about to undress for a large male, he didn't do anything to make sure that I felt comfortable. The entire interaction leading up to the massage was strange and uncomfortable. The massage itself was fine. At one point he made a slurping nose and then apologized for forgetting to swallow.

The pressure was too much at times and when I told him that it hurt his response was, "But it's so good for the tissue." I will not be going back and I wouldn't recommend him to a friend. I think it's good to remember that if you are a muscular male that is working with women in vulernable positions, you need to make sure that you are professional at all times.

I've had a few professional massages and this one was pretty good. My boyfriend got me a gift certificate for a one hour full body Swedish relaxation massage and I loved it. However, the facilities weren't the greatest. The walls were very thin and I could clearly hear people's conversations through the walls during my massage, and that made it a little hard to relax.

The massage itself was amazing. I had Kate and she was great. Even afterwards, she let me know where she found problem areas and gave me advice on what to do to prevent tension, especially in my back. Overall, I had a good experience and I would definitely go back, but if you're looking for a high quality spa atmosphere, this isn't the place for you.
