Broadway Therapeutic Massage

I tend to push my self and my body with my workouts and training. So I was seeking out a massage therapist that was able to get to that deep muscle, and help it heal, while also providing a peaceful environment. Ray is the man for the job. He listened to what I wanted, responded excellently and was able to give me tips and ideas for post massage recovery. The atmosphere and environment is an excellent blend of relaxing, educational, and healing without feeling like you’re going to an overpriced day spa. I have already talked to one friend about Ray and will continue to try and send others his way. And if you need any more convincing, I live in Portland, but plan on heading over to Vancouver once a month for a recovery massage from Ray. He’s that good.

I came to Ray at Broadway Therapeutic on a recommendation from another small business in the area (Kate at Siren Salon). I saw him a month or two and was very pleased with my massage. Today I was rock climbing at The Source and when I landed I nearly collapsed because I apparently jolted something out of whack. After laying on the ground writhing in the weirdest and most awkward pain I started to hunt down Ray in hopes of a last minute appointment. He must have been with a client because he did not answer the call, but within 20 minutes he returned a text and offered me a 1 hour slot that had just opened up. I hobbled over, flopped onto the table and he got to work. He explained exactly what happened, how we were going to fix it and what to do to prevent it in the future. After my excellent hour long massage and informative anatomy lesson I left feeling renewed and could miraculously stand up straight! Now I’m laying in bed — LMP’s orders right? ;)
Side note: Ray is not always a chatty massage therapist, when you want to relax he is perfect at helping you do that as well. Next appointment made, he is a great value and I am very happy that I found him.

My massage was with Megan and I will not be back, regardless of the reasonable price. I am writing this review for her benefit in hopes she will improve and save other clients from my experience. Most important in my opinion is to LISTEN to clients. I was very specific that I wanted a relaxation massage and it was anything but. I came very close to saying stop and just leaving. It was painful and aggravated arthritis and disc issues that I told her about in advance. Several times I had to ask her to lighten up. She hurt my knee bending my leg in an unnatural position that was completely unnecessary. If this was my first massage, I would never have another one. To the owners, this location is not conducive to a good massage experience. Old, barren and cold atmosphere. No one to greet you, just the therapists sitting in the open back room eating and chatting amongst themselves. Thank goodness I didn’t pay much for this living social deal. I should have read other Unilocal reviews first. I won’t make that mistake again.

Got a groupon for two massages & a chocolate truffle — very first excited. The booking was done via email & it was a challenge to coordinate a schedule so I finally emailed all my blocked dates which included all Thursdays & so they booked me for — wait for it… — Thursday! Once we got that settled, I had a 10am appointment then a 9am appointment two weeks later. They changed my 10am to a 9am but sent the email as an appointment confirmation so it was confusing — was a good/​average massage & she wasn’t chatty so that was a plus, but no truffle offered — perhaps it’s after the second-​so ok… Second appointment the masseuse talks the whole time & even asks personal questions — I didn’t feel more relaxed after and the massgage was adequate but not good. This time I inquired about the chocolate truffle & was told they didn’t have any, «the girl who books the appointments usually brings them in so.» So? So what? Don’t you just hate when people think they can end a sentence half way through with the word ‘so’ as if that’s an answer?
In a nutshell, I was not happy enough with the quality of the massage much less the difficulty scheduling &the no truffle, so… …so, yeah, I won’t be going there again or recommending it, so there!

My mom knew how stressed my sister and I had been so she spent her entire paycheck to get us each two massages through groupon. This was $ 116 dollars. We called to make our appointments and they were booked out a little over a month and a half. We both has been busy so it took us a month to schedule our appointments. Well the groupon expired yesterday and our appointments are next week. I called today because the groupon was for two massages each. The lady told us we were out our money. Even though when I scheduled our first massages she knew it was a groupon and that we needed to schedule two massages. I am beyond disappointed with the customer service here. BEYOND!!! I think that if a business decides to use a deal site they need to be prepared for what comes with it. Not try to screw people out of money they wouldn’t of spent if they had known they wouldn’t get a good product.

I received a massage from Ray a couple of weeks ago and am very happy with the result. I will definitely be returning. I feel that the service was high quality and very therapeutic.
As another reviewer noted earlier, the office is very busy and you need to book out in advance. It takes a while to get in to so make your plans about a month in advance. I’m a little frustrated with William B’s review of this office as it is his own fault for poor planning that caused his gift certificate to expire. You had 4 months to get an appointment and then cancel that appointment the day of and expect them to honor it? I work in the medical field and understand things come up and emergencies happen — but another way you can’t run a business is by having people cancel constantly and ending up with huge gaps in your schedule where you’re not making any money. I don’t blame the front office girl for denying to work with you any more, William. Those of us who were responsible enough to schedule in advance and keep our appointments seem to be happy with the service, so I would recommend this office for anyone who is able to schedule an appointment and keep it.

I came here through a LivingSocial deal I got a few months back, and just in time too, my back was in need of some good rubbing down. It seems like a really busy place and from the conversations I’d overheard, they were mostly return customers in the waiting area.
My therapist was friendly and asked all the right questions throughout my session to get to the source of my pain. She also had some great advice and tips on how I could reduce my neck and back tension. I walked out of there feeling much better, and it was very much worth the $ 20 I paid for an hour.
On the downside, the building and space they have is kinda dumpy and there is absolutely nothing appealing or relaxing about the atmosphere. I was supposed to get a truffle with my massage and that never happened, although I didn’t want one anyways but it’s just the point I never had one offered.
Overall their massages are regularly $ 40 per hour which is really good. All of the therapists seem friendly and good at what they do. Not bad, not bad at all.

Had a massage today with Bobby via a groupon. Such a deal! He was great and I feel terrific. Even better, I’ll be recommending him to everyone and going back many times myself!
