Deep Tissue Massage & Spa

My partner booked me a 90-minute massage as a gift because I've been struggling with ongoing back and hip pain. Before the session, I explained that my lower back, hips, and psoas area were causing me the most discomfort due to the amount of time I spend sitting for work. Given the length of the appointment, I expected those concerns to be addressed as part of a balanced, full-body treatment. Instead, more than an hour of the massage was spent almost exclusively on my back. My glutes received a very brief and uncomfortable trigger-point treatment, and after being turned over, I received a few minutes of neck work before the session ended. The front of my body, including the areas I specifically mentioned were tight, were never addressed. The ending of the massage was also awkward. Seeing that the front of my body had not been worked on at all, having what felt like sweaty palms rubbed across my forehead to conclude the session was unpleasant and not at all relaxing. What was most frustrating was that when I mentioned my back and hips still felt uncomfortable, I was told I would probably feel better once I stood up. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I left with my back still hurting, my hips still hurting, and the tightness in the front of my body completely unchanged. To make matters worse, I was told that I should come back for an additional session because the root cause of the issue was likely on the front side of my body. After paying $200 for a 90-minute massage with the expectation of that to be addressed, that was difficult to hear. If I had booked a 30-minute targeted session focused solely on my back, I would have understood the limited scope. But for a 90-minute appointment, I expected a more balanced treatment. Unfortunately, my back felt overworked afterward, and I experienced more discomfort in my back and hips than I did before the appointment. I left disappointed, feeling that the session did not deliver the value, results, or level of care I expected from a 90-minute professional massage. Based on my experience I cannot recommend working with Christian.

This spot is wonderful, great prices, very accessible location, professional, and the building they’re in as a whole is clean and quiet. I would definitely come here again. I like that they use Vagaro for booking so I can see all their services, add-ons, and also I can type my specific requests, which the massage therapist confirmed with me when I arrived. I love that they use coconut oil. I leave smelling like a spa but they don’t overdo the oil so I leave feeling moisturized (not oily!) and able to enjoy the rest of my day walking around and taking the bus!

Donna is such an incredibly intuitive, nurturing massage therapist. I’ve had cupping before that was good but she was so thorough and skilled that she was even able to loosen up my horribly tight forearms and neck as well. Truly feel like a new human each time our massage sessions end. I go to a lot of different massage therapists since I constantly travel for work and I can’t recommend Donna enough, looking forward to the next time I can visit Salt Lake City.

I had two massages this last week - my first lymphatic massage with Tammie and deep tissue with Donna May. Both massages were just what I needed ! Donna gave me the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had. I highly recommend booking 90 minutes

I was in Utah for a work event and was extremely sore from air travel. I decided to get a massage at Deep Tissue Massage and Donna May was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and kind during the massage and had me melting into the table by finding all the knots in my neck and back. She communicated very well and ensured that I was never uncomfortable. Highly recommend Donna May!
