I don't ever leave reviews but I have to after visiting Alva Massage. Marissa truly exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, her expertise and attention to detail made this a rejuvenating experience that I would highly recommend to anyone in need of athletic recovery or relaxation.Right from the start, she took the time to thoroughly assess my specific needs and concerns. She listened attentively to my concerns regarding certain muscle groups and any specific areas of tightness I had been experiencing. This level of personalized attention demonstrated their commitment to tailoring the session to my specific needs. Once the massage began, it was clear that Marissa was highly skilled and knowledgeable. Her techniques were firm and precise, effectively targeting deep-seated tension knots and relieving any muscle soreness/tightness I had been experiencing. She also made sure to regularly check in on my comfort level and adjust their pressure accordingly, ensuring an optimal experience throughout the session.One aspect that truly stood out during my visit was Marissa's ability to incorporate various modalities into the treatment. They seamlessly transitioned between deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and stretching exercises, which significantly enhanced the benefits of the session. This versatility showcased their deep understanding of the body and their ability to provide a well-rounded approach.Marissa also offered valuable insights, such as specific posture positions to prevent further pain in my shoulders and self-care techniques, to help me maintain the positive effects of the treatment in between sessions. This level of dedication and support truly sets Marissa apart from others.Overall, my experience with Marissa was exceptional. Their professionalism, expertise, and personal approach to addressing my needs was beyond reproach. I left the session feeling rejuvenated, with a significant reduction in muscle tension and overall increased mobility. If you are an athlete or someone in need of deep relaxation and recovery, I highly recommend booking a session with Marissa. Your body will thank you for it!
