Institute of Bodywork Studies

My wife and I have been regular customers since 2008 for the "Couple's Massage" and we have always had GREAT massages from the interns. We have been to other places in the past, but only use The Institute of Body Works Studies. Kayla (Director) is very responsive, helpful and informative. 5-STARS and Highly recommended! more

The saying goes that you get what you pay for, but I don't find that true here. I have always gone with a massage with an already licensed therapist which is $40 for 50 minutes and out of the multiple times I have been there I have only had once experience that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. All of the other massages I have gotten there were equal to massages that I have paid 2 or sometimes 3 times as much for. I would and have recommended this spa to others and gotten gift certificates for several friends. It may not have quite the atmosphere as an upscale spa, but I find the atmosphere relaxing and enjoyable. If you are worried about getting a massage from a student ($30) then simply request a licensed ($40) or an advanced ($60) therapist for your session. Like any other trade massage therapist have to have continuing credit hours so just because you get a massage from them at the school doesn't mean they haven't been doing massage for years. I know, I know... that is a lot of words for a review, but I really do enjoy my time at Institute of Bodywork Studies. more

Although I have received intern/student massages elsewhere, this was my first time at this Spa. The staff was friendly and professional. My massage began on time and the intern was as good as most of the professional massages that I have received over the years. Atfer the massage, I left extremely relaxed. more

I made an appointment for my daughter and I to have a couple's massage (she is under 18). The appt was 12:30. Her therapist wasn't even in the building. They called her and she was on her way. At 12:50, they offered to start my massage. At 12:55, my massage has started adn the other therapist comes in to set up the massage table for my daughter. At 1:00 they finally started on my daughter. Constant interruptions. Not relaxing at all. They hurried through our massages to get us off the tables by 1:30 so the next scheduled appointment could come. While waiting before and after, we got to hear the staff bad mouth each other, talk about the therapist getting written up, and hearing them call the manager. They gave us a gift certificate for a future visit. Not sure that we'll even use it....aggravation isn't even worth a bad, free massage. more

The massages and spa packages at this massage schools are awesome! What a great deal - a student gets credit for giving you a massage and you pay way less than spa prices for an excellent massage! Win/win!!! I highly recommend the hot stone massage - it's a bit more expensive because only instructors give them, but it is well worth it!!! more

I went here for a one hour massage. It was wonderful. Since this is a school you can choose to have a student or an instructor. the price varies depending on which you choose. They have many services to choose from. more
