Brian! Brian! You have saved me so many times. The amazing work you have done. I can't thank you enough.I've booked many Advanced Bodywork sessions. ? ( I am one who is very picky when it comes to massage therapists) When moving a year ago to Idaho Falls. I was lucky enough to find another incredible massage therapist, Brian, who truly listens. Gives wonderful information and contributes to having such successful outcomes.I have (axSpA) axial spondyloarthitis. When I came to Essence of Massage, I was in so much pain, discomfort, and immobility. Definitely in need of a massage! After my appointment ? I had the "massage face." But also, my range of motion became better. My lower back pain became tolerable. My goal was to have pain relief and feel better. That is absolutely how it came out to be.Thank you so much again! I look forward to my next appointments to come.

My experience with Brian C is like no other. His personalized care always delivers me to the same pain-free, energized place, every time. Depending on what my body needs, he figures it out and adapts his techniques.The tastefully decorated treatment room and details create tranquility enhanced by soft lighting and calming music. The commitment to my personal wellness is evident through Brian's range of techniques and services. Try the infra-red sauna experience -- it blew me away!Essence of Massage & Bodywork is my top recommendation for spa enthusiasts or newcomers. Me? I'm signing on to be a lifelong regular.

Brian, owner and lead massage therapist at Essence of Massage & Bodywork, takes immense pride in his growing business. He genuinely cares not only about the comfort of his clients, but also about their long-term healing through knowledgeable and effective application of fantastic techniques. If one listens carefully, Brian can be heard softly "talking" with the body he is working on. It's quite amazing how he and the body communicate with one another to find just what's needed in just the right way to bring comfort and healing.Brian's work is based on kindness, understanding, professionalism, and expert skill. He loves helping, and it shows through every minute of his sessions.Follow-up review November 1, 2023:It's been almost a year now that Brian has been providing me his amazing massage therapy techniques, and they continue to consistently astonish me with their effectiveness. Over several weeks this year, I had to endure a quite painful shoulder, but with seemingly endless techniques, tools, and personal determination, Brian has patiently and skillfully returned it to almost full functionality. In fact, the rest of its healing lies in my own hands with the exercises, stretching, and simple heat/cold therapy he taught me to do at home.Brian can perform any level and style of massage a person could want, but what truly sets this dedicated therapist apart from so many others is his sole focus on achieving results. He cares deeply ... he listens attentively ... and he works so diligently to achieve his fantastic results.I encourage anyone reading this review to give such a gifted massage therapist a try and see for yourself.

I recently had the pleasure of receiving a massage from Brian, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the experience. From the moment I stepped into his studio, I knew I was in the hands of a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients' well-being.Brian took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and understand my specific needs. It was evident that he tailors each session to address the individual requirements of his clients, and this personal touch made a significant difference in the effectiveness of the massage.He skillfully used various techniques to alleviate tension and promote relaxation. I had severe tightness is my shoulders and neck from work and he was the first person to ever relieve the pain. He created a soothing atmosphere, allowing me to fully unwind and let go of the stresses of everyday life. I left the session feeling lighter, more relaxed, and with a renewed sense of energy.If you are in need of a massage therapist who not only possesses exceptional skills but also genuinely cares about your well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Brian. Especially for deep tissue massage.

I had my massage done by Savannah. It was WONDERFUL! I've only ever had one other massage in my life and the experience wasn't great, but she showed me how amazing they can be! The room set up was very calming and she made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. The pressure used was perfect and I especially loved the hot stone massage. I'll be going to her again!

There are so many things to say. Brian has been very helpful in keeping me ready for training. I compete in strongman so there is always something for him to work on. He has been very professional and he is very knowledgeable about the body and how it works. If you need some help to get to the next level Brian is your guy!

I just wanna say, Brian was amazing! Extremely polite, very professional. I work construction, when I came in he expressed what was possibly causing pain, and addressed it. When I came out I felt like a whole new person. I Absolutely recommend to anyone!

Went to this office having joint pain and tightness and had an appointment with Brian. He worked on very tight muscles that were causing the pain, and knew how everything was related and what bodywork was necessary to improve and regain the flexibility in my shoulder and other joints again like in the past. He did an excellent job, and compared to other massage therapists (and physical therapists for that matter) I have seen over the years he has outdone them. Great work and will be back to to see him to reduce pain and keep improving my physical health. Excellent job!!

Brian is a master at massage! He is very knowledgeable and has helped me with my hip and back issues. He gets to the root cause of muscle issues so they are corrected properly. I can’t recommend him enough, I’m a client for life!

Brian did an amazing job with my massage!! I came in with pain in my back and hips from a fall on the ice. He used the perfect amount of pressure, stretched it out and I left feeling like a million bucks!

I have been getting deep tissue massages for over twenty years. Brian has been able to help me more in just a few sessions than any other therapist I have worked with. My main objective with bodywork is to improve my ability to work hard and play hard. I have more range of motion, less pain and functional movement since working with Brian. He’s amazing!
