Rob was great. He was very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone in need of some good body work.

Amazing massage done with great healing care. Rob was very helpful and knowledgeable and we will certainly be making a massage here part of our regular getaway routine.

Had my first massage ever today & it was amazing! I was very nervous but Rob went above and beyond to ensure the environment was calm, relaxing, peaceful, and safe. I can tell he appreciates the anatomy & physiology of the body and utilizes that to your advantage, making sure your body has actual necessary work done rather than just a back rub. I'm already looking forward to my next session with Rob!

An excellent massage; location is convenient and Rob somehow managed to find the spots I needed worked on and used just the right amount of pressure A lot of times I am in pain during a massage but not this time. He is very intuitive and seems kind and I will be back!

Had many many many massages through the years, but his are the best I've ever had. Was thinking about going to see him the other day and was sad to see he moved to Anacortes from his location in Belltown, but am wishing him all the best. You're so lucky, Anacortes!

I just had my first 90 minute session with Rob and it was great. Rob is very knowledgeable and professional. I've been to many massage therapists and Rob knows how to ask the right questions and work on specific problem areas. He listens to feedback before, during, and after the massage so I was always comfortable and the pressure was just right. I will definitely be a return client.

Rob has an amazing intuitive combination of massage styles, that were perfect for the pains that I walked in with. When I walked out I felt years younger! I am thrilled that there is such a skilled masseuse in Anacortes and will return often.

TL;DR version: Rob provided the perfect amount of pressure to relieve my pressures. Full version: I hadn't had a massage in more than a year, and during that year I changed jobs twice, and moved twice. As you can imagine I was well overdue for a good massage. But I didn't have to settle for a good massage because, by going to MassageWorks, I got a supercalifragilsticexpealidociously wonderful massage!

I could add more adjectives here - I know plenty of them - but to give you the clearest idea of how wonderful this experience was I'll just add that at various points during the 60 minute session I believe I actually purred. If you want to do yourself a wonderful favor, book a massage here.

I got my very first massage ever with Rob a few days ago. All I can say it was amazing! I'm always a bit apprehensive about being touched by someone I don't know but his demeanor and good manners made me feel at ease immediately. I never thought I would enjoy a massage so much. My back has been hurting a bit since I work at a computer most of the day and his touch really helped. I highly recommend Rob. Can't wait for my next session.

Got a 90 minute massage for help during my marathon training. Rob was very professional and did an excellent job. Highly recommend.

The short review: The best massage I've had in Seattle. The slightly longer review: I think I've been able to lower my shoulders for the first time in years, Rob is a miracle worker. The nitty gritty review: For background, I used to go to a massage therapist in Michigan before I moved to Seattle around four years ago. For two years I tried to find the right massage in Seattle but often found that the touch was too light.

That more massages were based around solely reaction and not working the knots out of my muscles. A friend recommended Rob to me and when I saw his picture I thought "those biceps look like they give a good massage." I cannot put into words just how good the massage was. It was everything I hoped for and more. Not only did Rob work wonders on my neck and back (whole back!

Not just shoulders but entire back!) but also my hands and feet, and it felt like he didn't just realign my muscles but also a lot of my bones. It's no exaggeration to say that I felt like a completely different person having left Rob's place. My posture was different, my aches were gone, and like I said I could lower my shoulders which I haven't been able to do since I started this deck job!

The only draw back is if you're used to massage or spa locations with waiting rooms, his place is a little different than expected. (Though he provided wonderful directions, I was just a little silly and confused but he was very kind about my confusion as well). And this is a very very very minor drawback as his place is cozy, warm, comfortable and relaxing. I'm trying to figure out in my budget just how many Rob sessions I can fit in, 100/10 do recommend, definitely!

My 90-minute massage with Rob today was one of the most positive and therapeutic I've ever had. He seemed to intuit every knot and tight spot. I walked out feeling aligned and pain free of chronic lower back pain. This is the only place I'll be headed in the future, and frequently!

Thank God I found Rob! I was in Seattle visiting our son in college and have been dealing with serious neck pain from a car accident. I'm in physical therapy at home, but needed some relief from someone who was experienced. I don't want just anyone messing with my neck. I read Rob's YELP reviews and made an appointment for a 90-minute massage and he was incredible! He's one of the most knowledgeable and talented massage therapists I've ever had (and I've had many over the years). I look forward to my next trips to Seattle to visit my kid so I can get more great massages! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Hands down the best massage I've ever had. I am a nurse and spend long hours on my feet moving and lifting immobile patients, and I was really looking for someone who could get in there and work out all the knots in my back. Rob is incredibly well educated in terms of anatomy and the muscular/ nervous system, and he helped me release all the tightness I had been holding in my shoulders and back.

I would 100% recommend Rob to anyone who has a job that requires long hours of sitting/ standing, or anyone who has a job that is physically demanding. His hands are super strong and he also checks in with you several times, making sure the pressure is OK and what not. Never going back to these spa "frou frou" massages again!

Rob is a professional, experienced and skilled masseuse! My muscles were sore after not having had a massage in "forever, " and as a result of running, walking, cycling, strength training, etc. Many times with a massage the next day I feel sore in a "bad way, " and did not experience this with Rob. I was commenting about flexibility during my massage, and Rob gave me a sample Thai massage (i.e., assisted/dynamic stretching), which I am going to book next time! Scheduling was easy via yelp.

The massage studio is a work-live space, which means when you visit you get to meet his four-leggy furry assistants -- two adorable French bulldogs. Location in north Belltown just across Denny from LQA is convenient and easily accessible.

"Relaxation on Lake Union" My recent snowboarding trips have finally driven my back aches to extremes. Coupled with a manual vehicle and sitting on an office chair for long periods of time only exacerbated the situation. After some careful online searching and recommendations, I decided to visit Rob at Massage Works. Appointments are fairly quick and easy. Rob was accommodating with my time restrictions and worked to match my schedule.

His website explained the massage techniques in detail and the availability of his contact information made reaching a breeze. His listed certification and work experience is extensive and impressive. The office was located right on the water near China Harbor. There is ample parking and if your visit occurs after 4PM, then parking is free. The office has a decent waiting area and decorations were of personal items and pictures.

The massage room was tidy and ambience was perfect for relaxation. The heated massage table helped with overall comfort and the background music was soothing. I opted for the 90 minute massage and focused on the lower back area. Overall experience was amazing and the lomi-lomi technique absolutely helped with the back ache.
