Therapeutically Kneaded

So I usually get 2 «real» massages a year. I have to say this may be the best or right near the best I’ve ever gotten. I was almost 15 mins late getting there during rush hour. My wife got the massage for me as a gift. Initially I could sense my masseuse was not happy with my tardiness (understandably) but after 10 minutes I knew I was at the place. She asked a lot of questions, but not excessively. She does a phenomenal job of pin pointing what is bothering you and what you’re looking for. She definitely has magic in her hands. Even though I was late she basically honored a full hour massage and gave me credit for the next time as well. She definitely exceeded my expectations and best of all I knew she did a great job because it took a good 3 – 5 days for my back to go out of whack again. Normally after a massage, within 1 – 2 days it wears off. I’ll be back soon. My wife will probably try too.

I found Tiffany through Unilocal actually, which initially made me a bit nervous as this can be hit or miss. However, I am already planning my next trip back.
I initially needed a post-​sports massage after running a half marathon. Tiffany does a great job of talking to you beforehand, asking what your needs are and what you would like her to focus on. During the massage she only asks pertinent questions that help get you the most out of your massage.
She was so great. It was one of the best massages I have ever gotten. I’m sore today (in the good way where I know my muscles for worked out). I came in with some pian in my knee and she spent a great deal of time working on it and afterwards even spent some time telling me how to continue to improve it.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone. And as I said I already plan on going back. My goal is to make this a monthly trip. Her prices are affordable and she does have a loyalty program. So glad I went here and not one of those chains,.

I originally found Tiffany through a Groupon, but once I started going to her for massages, I never want to go to anyone else!
Her massages are customized for each individual and health-​focused. She is also very friendly and professional.
She is skilled in an astonishing variety of massage techniques — light or deep pressure Swedish (relaxing), deep tissue, hot stones, hot towels, stretching & kneading, cupping, etc. She is great at intuitively knowing which techniques will achieve your goals and seamlessly working them into a session. I’ve never had a massage therapist that was so skilled at so many different kinds of massage and able to quickly switch between them based upon what you need.
I have serious knots all over my neck, back, and shoulders. Tiffany is the only one that has been able to improve them (and it feels amazing), and after going to her semi-​regularly, I can tell a difference in the way I feel! I always look forward to my massages with her.
She used to have amazing deals on massages, but due to rising costs, she understandably now has to charge standard rates, though she is still slightly cheaper than most chains.
She discusses your needs and preferences prior to the sessions, and does a great job LISTENING to what you want.
My only complaint is that her location is pretty far from the center of town — all the way out west near the beltway. Her office is in a professional building, and sometimes during your massage you can hear other businessmen meeting or talking.
But really, even with the minor inconvenience of location, she’s the best I’ve found!

Tiffany is excellent. One of the best deep tissue massages I have ever gotten. They have a great intro rate for first time customers.

Great place

I found Tiffany back when she was working at a chain massage place. I lucked into getting her when I was redeeming a Groupon. I was ready for a mediocre massage, but was blown away. She asked a lot of questions before getting started and spent a few minutes poking and prodding to determine my needs. It was the best massage ever.
She left that place and started her own studio. I gotta be honest about one thing: i HATE the location. I live in the Heights, so I consider myself ‘central’ to pretty much everything. Her new location is off of 59 and Westpark, and then down a couple miles on Westpark. That area is soooo traffic-​ridden, that it’s almost enough to deter me from going back. I mean, who wants to sit in horrible Galleria traffic and ⁵⁹⁄₆₁₀ interchange traffic to get a massage? But the massages are THAT good. The time and effort she puts into working out knots is amazing. And her knowledge on all things muscle related is quite impressive. Last time I was there, she noticed my IT bands were incredibly tight, which I realized was caused by me wearing/​walking in heels a lot more of the previous 2 weeks.
I’ve gotten a LOT of massages all over Houston, but Tiffany is the only massage therapist that 1) I wanted to go back to and 2) that I followed after she left 3) that I’m willing to sit in Galleria traffic for.
I don’t even consider massages from Tiffany as a luxury (At this point, I go once a month), I consider them a necessity!

I originally went to Tiffany for a 60-​minute massage after finding out about her through a Groupon Now! groupon. I had not been to a massage in over a year, but did not want to commit to a year-​long contract at other massage chains, so I decided to give her a try.
Having everything squared away with regards to paperwork before the session, I was able to maximize my time there. During the session she correctly pointed out how I tended to lean forward and have poor body posture (which is true since I am a programmer), and tuned the session to work to address that problem, instead of just going through the motions like other therapists have. She even used some form of heat (gel? stones?) without extra charge when she noticed the extra tension in my shoulders in order to work through the tension in my back muscles and shoulders.
She wasn’t able to hit my legs/​feet when I was face up, but that was only because she focused on the areas I needed it most (back/​shoulders), and I have to admit I need more work there. After the session she was not in a rush to shoe me out for any potential next clients, but rather took time to discuss my problems and what I could do to address them.
I do not know how often I’ll be getting massages, but if I have the time I will definitely come back to her. Although per session may be more expensive than the chain massage places (and really it is not that much more), the quality won’t be hit or miss, and you’ll appreciate the non-​rushing and not-​sticking to the clock of her; you actually get the full time vs the 50 min for a «60 min» session.
