Thats the Rub Massage

After months of increasingly more difficult weight training and cardio sessions, my trainer recommended getting a massage to help with a sore shoulder and overall health and recovery. After conducting an online search in my area (as I have never had a massage before), I decided on That's The Rub Massage Therapy Center in Bloomington, IN. They had excellent feedback from multiple reviews, and they seemed to offer a wide array of services that may be beneficial to my needs. Upon arrival, I was greeted by my massage therapist- Brooke. She was amazing from the very beginning. I advised her that this was my first time receiving massage therapy, and told her of my anxiety sourrounding the experience. Brooke was very warm and friendly, and took the time to talk with me and reduce my anxiety about the experience. Another observation that I made initially, was how incredibly clean and organized the Center was! Brooke escorted me to the treatment room, and explained everything to me, even asking questions to help tailor the experience around my desired goals! Brooke was able to loosen up my shoulder and help relieve the pain associated with the training that I am doing. She was also able to relieve tension in my back! Overall, I would highly recommend That's the Rub Massage Therapy Center! I had such a great first experience during my session, and I can't wait to go back soon for another! more

I have tried three different massages (the La-la, the rub, and the therapeutic rub) in this center and I love them all. I only know two therapists (Kathy & Deborah) and I recommend them both (they are great identifying the right pressure and areas that need more attention). I will keep going to this place whether I need back/neck pain relief or just to relax. I like the atmosphere of their massage rooms (relaxing music, lightening, decoration, etc) and their super comfortable and warm massage tables. They also sell Farmaesthetics products that I love, such as the deep lavender rub. Finally, they offer a discount to IU students ($10 OFF for 1hr massage). more

Lisa is absolutely the best at deep tissue massage. I have been getting massage for 30 yrs. and she knows what to do and where to find what you need. more

The lymphatic drainage massage at That's the Rub has been incredibly beneficial to me. I can feel immediate results, and it is very relaxing and nourishing to my spirit. more

Lisa's deep tissue massage is unlike any I've ever had. She works deeper and really gets to the heart of what's causing me pain and problems. She is professional and educated about muscles and how they interact. I am pain free for the first time in years. This isn't a typical spa massage. This is a serious massage for people who want their body to feel and work better. more

My first massage with Lisa and That’s the Rub was the result of a gift coupon from my wife. My initial experience was so valuable that I have continued “the gift” indefinitely with regular visits. The price is right, the ambiance is perfect, and I always feel that I am in good hands, so to speak. The space itself not only includes artwork by local artists, but also a wonderful waiting room where a person can cozy up and read and/or listen to music. Like any good thing in life, it’s something to look forward to. Roger Pfingston more

I absolutely felt calm and relaxed because of the Professionalism and customer service level they displayed. They were all very friendly and it was a warm and inviting atmosphere. Kathy listened to my needs and did a fantastic Job of answering questions I had about the differences in massage techniques and joint pain I am feeling in everyday life. The massage was outstanding! The Center was wonderful I will be going back. Thanks to Kathy and all the staff I met! -Brandon more

The quality of service is higher than any other place I have visited in Indiana. The staff is knowledgeable, skilled and professional. All the therapists are experts who trained at the top schools in the country. Though perfect for a short relaxation, they specialize in athletes and therapeutic massage. The center gorgeous and filled with local art, each room is a separate gallery. more
