Was my first time getting a Thai Massage and it was great. Being that it was my first time, Ms. Lalin was gentle and made it a great experience for me. She was really good, I would most definitely come back next time I’m in Houston.

Claudia is a great masseuse. She educates you on what’s best for your given condition and health goals and strives to provide excellent service. I originally came in for knee and shoulder pain and after the first visit she had me feeling better. Although I’m pain free now, I continue to see Claudia on a regular basis for maintenance. It is not the cheapest massage around, but Claudia provides such good service it’s more than worth the cost.

I just had a massage session with Judy, she was amazing, she listened and understood my situation and understood the pain I had. when I walked in, I was in significant pain. I have recently experienced pain in my left knee but thought it was generated from my upper leg or groin area. She focused on the sciatic nerve and wow what a difference she made, please go see her if you are experiencing any sort of pain like this. She worked diligently and professionally on the area and was confident I would feel better. She was right. I'm very happy I booked an appointment and will be coming back very soon.

Judy and Claudia are my go to for deep tissue massage. Recently booked a session with Judy because I pulled a muscle in my shoulder and she worked out SO MANY KNOTS! I heard them crunching as she worked through them. I didn't realize I had so many knots in my upper back. I felt so relieved afterwards. Very thorough massage! Wish I lived closer so I could come more often.

OMG! I took off from work for a self-care day and so very grateful that I was able to get a 90 minute massage with Judy at ROAB! Judy was very thorough prior to treatment and such a delightful, interesting therapist. I enjoyed her expertise and energy. She's such a beautiful soul and I hope that she will be around for many more of my visits. Thank you ROAB and especially Judy. I look forward to seeing you again on my next visit.

I had a lymphatics drainage massage with Estella, it was the most relaxing experience I’ve ever had. I went home instantly to rest and had a great nap after struggling with sleep for the past few weeks. The spa alone was relaxing as soon as you enter, the music, the scents, and dim lighting. It’s the perfect place to go if you are in need of deep relaxation.

This was hands down the BEST experiences I have had not only in Houston just in general. Everyone was so nice and attentive and had the best massage of my life. Unfortunately I live out of state but agin, best experience I know you’ll be back and this will be my first stop when I get back to town!

I have been going to River Oaks Advanced Bodywork’s for over a year now and have had great sessions with a number of therapists. I recently had to reschedule and had a session with Ms. Judy. She was professional, focused on the areas of need and did a great job. I would recommend her to anyone.

My husband surprised me with an appointment here for my first prenatal massage. It was amazing! This is a hidden gem in Houston. Judy was my masseuse and she made sure that I was comfortable the entire session. I highly recommend trying them out and ask for Judy.

I can’t recommend Claudia enough. She is very knowledgeable, extremely professional and always listens to her clients and their needs. She is respectful, kind and definitely has a passion for helping her clients feel better. It is always a pleasure to have my session with her, as I know that whatever tension I have in any of my muscles will be alleviated and she will help me design a plan that works for me. She is the best!

The River Oaks Advanced Body Works facility is beautiful and the staff are friendly, professional, and are always prepared to meet your individual therapeutic needs.Emma Moreno specializes in Energy Healing, Magnetic Therapy, and Raindrop Therapy and she has always provided the best energy healing I’ve ever received. Emma is always positive and is a joy to be around. She brings many years of healing energy expertise to each session and I look forward to many more healing sessions with Emma.

This place is amazing. William does an excellent job. I had a 1hr cupping session which includes a massage. He applies the right amount of pressure and really is aware of muscle tightness and how to help release it.

Best massage I have ever had from Claudia! I have gone twice and both times were great. I brought a friend and she said her massage from another technician was amazing as well. Claudia pays attention to your needs and makes recommendations, provides a very relaxing experience, and even mentioned that she invests in continuing education classes. I never thought I would try cupping but Claudia explained the benefits & I ended up loving the results in reducing my tension and pain. I ended up getting the membership after my first massage and I think it’s so worth! My back already feels so much better after 2 massages and I plan to continue to go back every 2 weeks. The receptionists are always very sweet and accommodating as well. Thank you Claudia and Riveroaks advanced body works!

Claudia gives the MOST AMAZING massages. I have been getting massage for 20+ years and she is by far the best massage therapist I have ever had. Passive stretching was awesome, she communicates very well and stays in sync with your breathing. Definitely recommend the hot stones as well!!

I’ve tried dozens of massage places in Houston and I’ve got to say that my integrated massage session with Claudia was the best experience I’ve ever had. I felt like this was a complete personalized massage to take care of the areas of my body that needed the most help. I left relaxed and feeling less pain and muscle tension.

I got a gift card for a massage from my parents for Christmas for my first EVER massage! And wow, they did not disappoint. The receptionist was lovely and David, who performed my massage, made me feel comfortable and so relaxed I literally drooled (sorry about that lol) 100% worth your time and money, check them out!

Chris and the team here are simply exceptional. I’m a massage enthusiast and get probably 2 per month. This was my 2nd trip and this time I took my partner to get him a massage as well. I called and had a booking for 2. They remembered I like deep tissue ans remembered me as I walked in to the door. I’ve had memberships to both of the national chains and was quickly reminded how much I prefer local places over those. 1. You can’t beat customer service! 2. You are not going to get a non experienced therapist right out of school if you come here. My partner and I can’t wait to come back and I highly recommend this place.

I had a wonderful experience. From the moment I walk in for my appointment the place has an excellent ambiance. The BEST masseuse I have ever encountered Issac! Issac was phenomenal!!!! He made me feel at ease immediately, and provided me the best massage I ever had! He provided a relaxing yet strong massage with his capable hands to my knotted muscles. I love that he communicated through the session. I would recommend this place to anyone needing a sports massage.

This establishment is soothing from the moment you walk in. I've been there twice now to get my chakras aligned. I had never had this done before. It's a different kind of healing that you may have not even known you needed. Isaac is wonderful and so professional. I have found my new go to place for "me" time! Thank you for giving your all to your clients.

This place is a lil hidden jewel that I lucked up on. We were in search of a last min couples message and with it being our anniversary were hoping to get into a big fancy spa but many reviews didn’t support spending so much money for what many agreed wasn’t the best quality. So instead of looking for a fancy building I began to search for the best quality which got us here. It was my husbands first message and he was blown away by the service. Very polite, attentive, price reasonable, and message quality was 5 star. I will def book with them again when in the area and I recommend everyone try. They are amazing!

Itzel is fantastic! It was my first time getting a massage and she was great. I'm definitely a fan and will be back. The staff is very accommodating and nice. The room was exceptionally clean as if I was the first client of the day, yet I came in early afternoon. It's rare to find such a serene place in a busy city like Houston.
