Massage Only Do you have a nagging injury or sore area that interferes with your workout or daily life? Are you uncomfortable with traditional massage (disrobing, lying still on a table for an hour)? Medical massage combines physical assessment tests with the application of a variety of hands-on techniques and finishes with teaching remedial exercises to perform at home. Client is fully clothed throughout the session. We also offer Ashiatsu & Cupping therapy as an alternative to deep tissue massage or as part of a session.
Services
At Massage Only, all of our therapists are licensed by the state of Massachusetts and continue their education and training to maintain their professional status. Our therapists are trained in many modalities, including Deep tissue, Orthopedic, Ashiatsu, Myofascial, Cupping, and Swedish massage. She switched gears and careers over 10 years ago and became a licensed Massage Therapist, for both humans and horses!
Cupping Therapy uses special cups, placed on the skin to create suction. It can help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation & well-being. It achieves the same results as a deep tissue massage, without the pain that is sometimes associated with deep work. Sports massage is specifically designed for people who are involved in physical activity.

My husband and I made appointments while visiting Newburyport for a date "day." We had both Tony and Holly for our massages. They were incredible. We both work taxing jobs and get massages often. The deep tissue at Massage Only was hands down the best one I have had. You can tell know their craft of massage very well and that they listen to the customer on what their needs are. After hearing about my husbands experience as well, we both had personalized massages and were thoroughly impressed. Thank you both! We will definitely be back.

I booked an appointment on Vagaro, an app I have used for many different places and appointment types (facials, massages, haircuts etc)and never had any problems. I got reminders for my appointment, only to show up and they not only didn't have my appointment on the books, but they didn't even have me in their system at all and couldn't give me any explanation. Extremely disappointed as I drove over an hour to get there.

Tony is amazing! I've been getting massages for years. We just moved to the area in April. I've been looking for a great professional masseur. Tony is the one! Will definitely be going back often! FIVE STAR!

I went in to see Holly Weymouth. I have had a lot of massages. But wow. Holly is an amazing massage therapist who is super knowledgeable about the body and skin. I see myself coming back to her again and again when I want to pamper myself and have a great relaxing massage. I would recommend Holly to all my friends and family. Not to mention the space was very clean and the atmosphere was relaxing.

Holly is an excellent massage therapist. I like deep tissue and her pressure and technique were excellent. "The Winter Special" incorporating 45 minutes of massage with CBD oil for $75 was amazing. Definitely will be back for a longer treatment!

Sabrina has been my most cherished massage therapist! Her knowledge of essential oils, female hormone balance, and (of course) skilled massage techniques are above anyone else I have worked with! 5 stars are not enough to give Sabrina!

As a professional massage therapist, I am very particular about who I receive work from. Sabrina is skilled at providing massage that is not only therapeutic, but tremendously relaxing.

Sabrina is, by far, the best massage therapist I have ever been to. She is extremely knowledgable in many specific areas of wellness and healing and will help guide you you to the best techniques for your body. She is professional, thorough and makes you feel comfortable at all times. She clealry cares for her clients and her calm and peaceful manner will put you at ease. You will be so relaxed you won't want to leave!

Sabrina is an amazing massage therapist. She's present and provides a deeply nurturing session each time I see her. I had her work on me throughout my entire pregnancy and it was so helpful with keeping my stress levels down and my lower back pain away.

Sabrina is not only an excellent massage therapist, but her knowledge of health and wellness is superb. As a chiropractor who has referred patients to Sabrina and also used her services I would trust anyone with her care.

Anetta has been a blessing every since I met her a few months ago. She's extremely knowledgeable and always goes the extra mile to supply me with information. Such a hidden gem in the city of Newburyport!

My wife and I just had incredible massages yet again this past weekend with Anetta! She was very attentive to both our needs. We look forward to seeing her again next month!

Massage Only has been an active business for many years and has always had a solid reputation as well as solid service in a handsome brick building. The massages I've had over the years have always been top notch. The location is a 3 minute walk to downtown Newburyport.

Emily is a fantastic massage therapist. She truly treats the issues that you have. She is focused and massages with great intention. I came in with a stiff neck unable to turn my head and by the next day I had full range of motion. Thank you Emily

I'm not always compelled to write a review right away. Barbara was great and I felt that she listened to my needs. Ashiatsu offers a really cool deeper fascia pressure. If you don't like feet, get over it because you're missing out!

Couldn't recommend this place more! I've been suffering from low back pain as well as hip/glute pain for a few years. I frequently get massages and finally have found someone I will continue to visit and recommend to friends! Emily Baker at Massage Only is amazing. She targeted my pain points and diligently worked on them. I hate paying for a massage and walking away feeling like no real work was done to benefit my health and body OR that the massage therapist is unfamiliar with the muscles of the body. As someone who is extremely active I want to feel pain relief after having a massage. Well, that's exactly what you'll get here. Already booked my next visit!

Just been for a massage with Nancy to address lower back issues. What a fab place: I completely trusted Nancy. I recommend this place for a 'real' massage: they definitely know what they are doing

I normally don't write reviews on places that I've been to. but this time and this place I couldn't resist to not to. I had a massage on Thursday with Nancy, I had some sort of muscle aches or sciatica nerves issues. Nancy took all the pain away with her magic touch, ,i t's been two days and I don't feel that pain anymore, ,t hank you so much Nancy, ,y ou are awesome. This was actually my second time, the first time I had a different masseur and she was great too.5star for this place

I've only been to Massage Only once, but my experience there was great. I've been to a few other places in town for massage, but here has been my favorite so far. The place is calm, clean, and has a good looking interior. My massage therapist was easy to talk to and made me very comfortable about the experience. Going in there I was tense from work stress and a bit nervous about trying out a new therapist, but coming out I felt extremely relaxed and refreshed. If you are looking for a good local massage place for yourself or a friend, I would have to suggest this business.

My wife and I both had 1 hour message session and what a treat. They did a great job of listening to our needs (basic aches, pains, areas to avoid), Sarah, my masseuse, did a phenomenal job working my lower back to work out a knot. We were very pleased with the quality of the massage as well as their attention to details.

I'm writing this review 2 months after receiving my first massage there, because I can't stop thinking about how good it was. I was debilitatingly good! I basically called off my plans for the rest of the day and floated home. They've found a new regular in me.

Both my boyfriend and I have been here several times now. This place is clean, professional and peaceful and has easy to find parking. Karen Kraus is my favourite massage therapist at Massage Only. I love that I can walk in completely frazzled from life and when I walk out, I feel like a new person. I find that I often experience nasal congestion when I have my face in the cradle and Karen is so good that she uses peppermint oil to alleviate this for me. Can't beat the personalized care!
