The Great Metropolitan Backrub

Fast and easy online booking system so I didn’t have to wait in any lines to get my 15-​minute neck/​shoulder massage on such short notice. I had been suffering from tension headaches all morning and found these guys on Unilocal.They are not only affordably-​priced, they are also professional and very friendly! Sylvia was my therapist and she was awesome – great pressure and very effective. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again. A+ from this first-​timer!

So this is like a massage place, but they do all treatments with you fully clothed, do really short appointments, and take walk ins. It’s meant to be a spot you can pop into on your lunch break for some stress relief and then head back to your office.
The good thing is that they take walk-​ins. Some days I’m stressed and the fact that I can walk into this place, stash my phone and just breathe while getting my massage is what keeps me from consuming too much white wine later that night.
The problem is, it’s very hit or miss when it comes to being able to take walk-​ins, and also in the level of service you get.
Some days, you can walk right in, other times they’ll ask if you can wait for an hour. Um, nope.
Some days you get really great therapists who do a great job, listen to you when you say what you would like worked on. Other times you get therapists who are not as skilled, or who have their own agenda. Once I told they lady giving me my massage that I did not want my feet worked on, and she not only argued with me, but proceeded to grab my feet. Served her right for getting kicked. Another time, I asked to have my neck worked on, and the lady did a terrific job on my back and legs, but never touched my neck! Grr. Of course, I’m a wimp about confrontation, so I meekly thanked her and handed over my credit card.
I tend to use them as a last resort, when I’m stressed and my regular place can’t get me in. But I shouldn’t leave more frustrated than I was when I came.

What a gift «The Great Metropolitan Backrub» is. It is so convenient and easy to schedule appointments and the staff is just wonderful. I love being able to get a massage and not feel all greasy afterwards. The massage therapists are incredible that work there and Annette is a wonderful owner and manager.

I was in serious pain when I first walked in the door at the Metropolitan Backrub. The staff listened to me and went to work on my aching muscles. I was very comfortable in the store and I got tons of relief. It was a very therapeutic experience! Now I pop in when ever I start to feel tension building up in my neck and jaw.

Went here on Valentines day 2 years ago guaranteeing that regardless of what the guy I was dating planned that night I would have a good V-​day.
The massage with clothes on is a interesting experience. More professional feeling than those people that do the chair massages in the mall. The great metropolitan back rub is a bit cheaper than going to a spa but honestly I think I prefer a traditional massage experience. It was a good experience and I have been back a few more times. Parking in this area can be a bit tricky.
