Marshall Back and Body Wellness Center

Bought a living social deal for acupuncture with 30 min massage ~ I have never had acupuncture before so I have no previous experience to compare it to… with that being said, the woman that did the acupuncture explained everything, answered all my questions and was very professional and pleasant AND it didn’t hurt ;) The massage was one of the best I have ever had and I have had MANY massages over the years. I have neck, shoulder and lower back issues. I left feeling great and will probably go back and purchase a massage package and try more acupuncture. Pleasant and professional staff A+

Let me just start by saying this review is ONLY a result-​based description of the services I had here. It is not a reflection of the staff or the customer service.
With that said, I walked in without an appointment, and the ladies squeezed me in for a consultation for a vitamin B injection – something I wanted to try for my low energy levels. After an upsell, I ended up getting the monster B-​vitamin injection along with the gluatmine (amino acid) for weight loss and muscle building.
I was a little surprised during the consultation when the word «weight loss» kept coming up. I’m 5’8″ and 126 lbs. Sure, I could use some work on muscle definition, but if I lose any weight, I’m going to slip right down the drain during a shower. Besides, how much do I really need to lose that just a bit of exercise and good nutrition for a couple of weeks can’t fix?
For $ 80, I had hoped that I would feel immediate effects from the vitamin injections and would need a straight jacket to contain my enthusiasm and productivity. Nope. The shots knocked me out for three days – and wouldn’t you know it, I gained weight. I felt like I was recovering from a breakup!
I’m sure the clientele at Marshall have experienced wonderful results; alas, I was not one who benefitted from the injections. Despite this being said, I would try other services offered here in the future – including the massage, chiropractic care, or acupuncture – but I will pass on the $ 800 Zerona muffin top laser treatment, thanks.
Given that no blood work was done here, maybe I am not low on vitamins after all. It’s Houston and really hot outside; maybe some A/​C and a glass of water would alleviate the symptoms. That actually sounds like a good idea – I hear that water helps with losing weight, now that I need it.

This review is for chiropractic only. I have been going here off and on for over 2 years now. Dr. Asenime is awesome, friendly, and professional! I always leave feeling much better after her adjustments. I initially came through a groupon deal but have renewed several times. I definitely feel like I benefit more from going frequently however it doesnt usually fit with my schedule. The front desk has been mostly helpful and friendly. There was one receptionist in the past that was snippy but no longer works there. I will definitely be coming back!

I’m in love with this business, from the warm staff to the cleaniness of the office. If I could marry Leslie’s hands I promise I would do it. I started going to MBB back in 2012 and I returned just becuase of Leslie’s massages. Now they have an addition to the team named April and she gives the best massages too and at first I was like do not touch me I only want Leslie but now I’m ok with her because she pays attention to your needs as well. They are all so friendly and I dont really get that «oh this is akward» moment when I’m with them. The Dr. will get you all cracked up with your adjustments and I leave feeling relaxed and refreshed everytime. If I could go in everyday I woould.

Bought a living social massage and called them to set it up. The workers are very nice my massage started late but they gave me the full time would come back again to use one of the many services offered.

Based on the reviews from other Unilocalers, I think they have taken that advice to heart. I came here to work on some kinks in my shoulders and neck. I called to make an appointment and spoke with a professional and kind person. When I came in for my scheduled appointment, I was promptly greeted and had someone explain to me what the process was going to be like. I was taken to a room to wait for Dr. Asenime and when she walked in she was professional, courteous, understanding– basically everything you want in a doctor to help you feel better! We started treatment soon after and immediately upon leaving the facility I could tell a difference in my body– a good difference!
I came back a second time and received the same type of customer service I received the first time.

I requested some help with a stiff neck, and they beat me up so bad, I could hardly move afterwards. Sorry that’s how I felt, this wasn’t my first time at the chiro office, and not my first time getting a therapeutic massage for my stiff neck issues.
Should have known better or researched before I got the groupons. First was for accupuncture. Said I needed help with my knee and back. She only helped my back, didnt do anything for my knee, then left me in the room for an hour and a half. I thought they had forgotten about me.

Unprofessional and disorganized. Beware! They fail to enter appointments into their calendar, can’t find your appointments when you call to confirm (yes, when you call to confirm, not the other way around), cancel ones you’ve made without your consent, and all sorts of other unprofessional and bizarre things, and then they try to blame the customer for it (…quizically scratching head…). Don’t bother with them, there are plenty of other well-​run chiropractors/​massage therapists in Houston.

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. When I arrived, no one greeted me, the ladies at the front desk were chatting among themselves having their backs faced towards customers. I also scheduled an appointment weeks ago and they were said they did not have me in their system. I was disappointed because there was no apology and they seemed very unorganized. THIS PLACE HAS SO MANY GROUPONS AND LIVING SOCIAL DEALS BECAUSE IT SUCKS.

I don’t think I’ll be coming back here again. I feel like I should mention that I did go the cheap route for a massage and got a deal off Groupon some months ago. I’ve learned my lesson.
The people here are all very nice but that only gets you so far.
A massage is supposed to be a relaxing experience but all I could think about was how I wanted to go home and shower.
A massage therapist should NEVER smoke before seeing a client. It was disgusting. He smelled of cigarette smoke and then took to rubbing the stink into my back. It was a mixture of scented products and cigarette.
I got in my car and smelled of cigarette. As a nonsmoker, I was actually asked by my significant other if I had been smoking when I got home! Immediately to the shower I went, without a single bit of stress relieved that day.

I’ve never been to the chiropractor before, so I have nothing to compare. I bought a groupon for 6 alignments and am now on my 2^nd visit. I LOVE it. I feel lighter and my back feels great. The x-​ray they take on the first visit is amazing– you can see how your spine is misaligned. I highly recommend this place.

This is the biggest scam! I bought a living social deal that was supposed to be the following: weight loss program including initial MD consult, 4 B-​12 injections, one on one custom nutritional counseling, dietary and fitness analysis, and a prescription for appetite suppressants.
Here’s what I received — Nurse said I needed to take fish oil, multi vitamin and some sort of diuretic, which amounted to about $ 50. In addition to my vitamin B-​12, they wanted me to take fat burning injections 2X per week for about $ 30 extra per shot. When I said I wasn’t interested in taking any pills, the nurse said it was «mandatory» as part of the «program.» Although I was completely against taking some sort of fat burning injections that I have no ideas what it is, taking a diuretic that can make me have «accidents» (nurse said it usually doesn’t happen), or taking appetite suppressants, I thought I’d stay around and listen to what the doctor says. The doctor walks in and tells me the following as part of my nutritional counseling program. Eat 1200 calories a day and walk 5X a week for 20 min. That’s it? That’s my program, I asked? You’re not going to put me on a long term, healthy diet plan that I can maintain? She said I would advise you to take appetite suppressants b/​c staying on 1200 calories is impossible without it. In addition, if you want to learn about how to count calories, go to
. Don’t do any strength training at all (this is so contrary to anything I’ve ever heard from a health professional), not even sit ups. All she wanted me to do was walk. When I began explaining that I didn’t want to lose a bunch of weight in the first month just to gain it all back, all she reiterated was that I wouldn’t be able to lose anything without appetite suppressants. I think this place is a huge scam and is taking advantage of people who want to see quick results the very unhealthy way so that they can keep prescribing you with injections and pills. Of course you’re going to lose weight if you’re not eating very much! Not to mention, you’re losing muscle by not doing strength training so you seem to be dropping pounds. When I checked out, they asked me to make a follow up appointment for another $ 55. For what? So the doctor can come in and see if I found
