Where is the Best Thai Massage in Austin, Texas?
Pros: The setting is gorgeous. The spa sits on a river and across from a lush, green hill/mountainside and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The rooms are beautifully decorated and really, everything is picturesque. The staff is the friendliest I’ve ever seen. Mindy, the woman who helped us with the kayaks and conducted the boat tour, was wonderful. The front…
This guy is amazing. I met him when he was on tour in Portland. He worked on my wife who spent 3 weeks trying to convince me to see him. I wish I had listened sooner. He was only there for 2 days after I got my first massage and I got one more before he left. I’ve had massages all over the world, but have never experienced anything quite like what Erik does.I have flown to Austin to have him work on me twice. My company recently moved us here 🙂 Austin is Great!!!Erik’s work has helped me do things I haven’t been able to do for 10 years. He freed up my shoulder which kept me from doing most of the really fun things I like and has fixed it so my wife’s right foot doesn’t turn in and her knee doesn’t hurt any more. He is “so in to it.” He doesn’t just rub on you, he listens to your body, twists you in funky positions, does acupressure, and has something special that makes his touch healing. He changed our lives.Sometimes I just veg and listen to the music, other time
I went to try Myo because of the reviews, and I was pleased. I typically go to a day spa, but it has a high turnover rate due to its prices, and I get tired of always having to switch therapists. Myo was not what I was expecting. It does not aim for the posh, indulgent atmosphere of a day spa, which I kind of missed. Like they say, it is more of a bodywork center. There are no fancy locker rooms, etc., or people wandering all about in robes, like I am used to. You undress/change in the room where you receive the massage, before the therapist enters. One of the cool things, though, is the opportunity to select your own music during treatment. It may sound like a small thing, but I thought it was really neat, particuarly since ocean waves and new age music don’t really relax me. I had a 90 min. massage with Gina to address some tightness in my shoulder and knee from playing tennis. It was not a simple massage, but rather a very therapeutic form of treatment – she really focused
I have been to several spas around Austin, but never to M+H. I went to the Hill Country location yesterday, and I really like this place. For being fairly new, they really seem to have it together. The front desk person was very courteous and helpful on the phone and when I arrived. The interior is very relaxing – nice decor and layout without being busy or overdone. And seriously, you need to check out the massage with Courtney. I was looking for a mix of relaxation and muscle recovery and, after discussing it with me attentively, she provided exactly that. One of the best combinations of light and deep work I can remember. It can seem a little pricey, but I feel that I got a very good value based on the massage and general customer treatment, which is a premium in itself in this town. I will definitely go back!Pros + Staff, therapist, decor, late hoursCons – Can be a bit of a drive
