I don't know what to say about this place. It is amazing. I have messed up shoulder from an L&I injury. I have been coming here for a little over a month and my massage therapist has worked miracles. Possibly more helpful than the physical therapy I'm doing. I do know one thing though, even after my claim is up I'll be coming back for more of those magic elbows and hands.

UPDATE: Within a few hours of posting the below review, I was contacted by the manager, who apologized and assured me that they would honor the gift certificate by reversing the charge on my credit card. Therefore I am changing the review to reflect the actual massage and whirlpool experience. The whirlpool was in a private room -- a spacious tub with contoured reclining surfaces and a nice temperature (comfortably hot). The jets were a bit on the weak side though. There was a shower where you could rinse off and wash/shampoo as desired. The massage therapist was quite good, and very effective in easing the tension I carry in my shoulders and neck. The experience was hampered by a strong smell of potassium (or perhaps natural gas), that seemed to permeate the whole area for several blocks. There is a nearby construction project which was perhaps the culprit for that, and I would expect that this is just temporary.Based on the quality of the massage, and the fact that this business actively and quickly sought to resolve my complaint, I will likely return, but after that potassium smell goes away!ORIGINAL REVIEW: I was given a gift certificate for a 1-hour massage and whirlpool several years ago, and lost the certificate. When my husband stumbled across it a few weeks ago, he realized that although there was no expiration date on it, it was pretty old, so he contacted Ballard Health Center and was assured that they would honor the certificate. So I set up an appointment and had the massage and whirlpool (which were both fine), but when I handed the receptionist the gift certificate at the conclusion, she refused to honor it, because it wasn't "in the system". So I had to pay full price - she didn't even offer a discount.The massage was nice, but there are other businesses that provide similar services and that do honor gift certificates, or if they won't, at least will tell you that in advance. I will not be back.

My husband and I came in for massages. We requested the whirl pool, but he didn't show up. When I asked my therapist to please get him she said he probably didn't want it and just shrugged her shoulders. So it started off bad. My message was okay, not great. My husband's therapist ignored his requests to use less pressure. We were visiting from out of town and this was a supposed to be a special treat for us and it was downright awful. I wouldn't recommend it.Note: We were there a while back, but when I added comments, it changed the date.

I've been coming here for 2 years for a chronic injury after an automobile accident. Although I have my personal favorite massage therapists I've never had a bad massage here. Every therapist was very experienced, had the utmost respect for my condition and treated it with care and exuded a level of professionality unparalleled to other massage centers I have visited.There was an incident where I forgot to turn my lights off in my car and Aaron, the owner, went above and beyond to help me get a jump. Excellent service all around.

What a nice location, and it's one of the oldest places to get a massage in Seattle! Family owned business and it's legit. I had the pleasure of getting an "emergency" massage with the owner, Aaron. He was great and I felt like I was being taken care of by a friend even though it was my first time.He went above and beyond, really listened to me and totally turned my back around. I was suffering from back spasms and in extreme pain, and I left feeling a million times better. I will be back!
