I have been coming to River Oaks Advanced Bodyworks for a couple years now and I cannot say enough great things. The staff is incredibly friendly and the facility is very relaxing. I would highly recommend working with Raidel! He is an expert massage therapist. I’m

Radiel is a very caring knowledgeable therapist. He listens to your concerns and adjust to your needs. I have been with certain pains/ problem areas and I always feel so much better walking out of there. He is the therapist I always to see. Issac the owner is also the best. I have also seen one or two other therapist and I’m never disappointed. Do yourself a favor and go here next time you need some self care.

I had a wonderful experience at River oaks bodywork! Claudia service was amazing, she really took the time to listen to me and guide me in the massage. She was very detailed and gave me lots of information on the tension in my back! She release all the tension I had. I will definitely recommend this place, the massage isn’t just a regular massage. Very relaxing atmosphere 😊

The location is inviting and the sounds/aroma are very soothing. I had a one hour cupping massage with Andrea. She was great. She explained everything prior to starting and listened to everything I wanted and felt throughout the massage. She was very nice and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend.

Huge thanks to Andrea at River Oaks Advanced Bodyworks for the best, and much needed, upper body massage. Neck, shoulders and upper back haven’t felt this good and so less tight in a very long time. I put off getting a massage because I didn’t know where to go and didn’t want to go just anywhere. Very professional, calming atmosphere, highly recommend and will definitely be a returning customer.

• -2 stars for their chatty massage therapists that give unsolicited advice throughout the massages, which frankly just tenses me up and takes away from the whole point of coming in for a massage• -1 star for their online experience, because their online booking portal doesn't work half the time and their survey links in their emails after appointments have never worked so I can never give my feedback• their spa services (microdermabrasion, foot exfoliating) are actually good and worth coming back to, because those were very relaxing and rejuvenating and I want to be fair to themI had 2 different massages (1 Swedish, 1 deep tissue that was way too much light caressing) with 2 different therapists, and they both were the same as far as giving unsolicited advice, so I think it's cultural to this spa, which is nuts to me. Rima's review from Oct 2023 re: their poor experience on the massage were things I noticed as wellI work a desk job and it's stressful. I know all the tips to help with posture and tension, and I don't get to them as much as I'd like. I'm coming to a spa to turn my brain off, relax, and have someone ease out my tension.What *doesn't* help is having a massage therapist chatting at random points in the massage with tips on how to improve posture at the desk, or explaining that they're not focusing on the area I asked them to focus on because the body is connected, or me tensing my jaw during their incessant need to lecture (that's how I respond to unsolicited lecturing, maybe it's you?) is why I'm tense everywhere else. Excuse me?Yeah, maybe having a stranger who's doing a poor job at both helping me relax or easing the actual tension I feel while having to listen to you lecture me is what's making me tense. I had to interrupt the massage therapist in my 2nd experience to ask how much time was left because I had enough, and just asked to end it early. Just came home to write this review and book a massage at my preferred spot to *fix* this poor experience.Waste of money for a massage, and I did it twice. Would never come back here for a massage.Add'l info -- these services were at a discount through a promotion. This company came to my apartment complex (close to their business) to offer a $60 promotion to get 5 various sessions at 50% off as well as 4 free add-on services (e.g. microdermabrasion, cupping, foot exfoliation). I typically get massage but never spa services. I was open-minded to try the spa services; if it wasn't for the promotion I wouldn't have tried this spotSo with that in mind, I'll still be fair though and say that I'd recommend them for the other spa services since I did try those out and enjoyed those. But I wouldn't have gotten them without the promotion, and while I would've come back for massages since it's down the street, frankly it just ain't worth it

I recently experienced the Amethyst package with Vivian. She was exceptional, friendly, and delivered the best treatment I’ve ever had.However, I’m giving two stars due to the front desk staff’s unprofessionalism. When I couldn’t access my Groupon code because of website maintenance, the two male receptionists made me feel lesser, as if I was trying to scam them. One even laughed at the situation, which was both disrespectful and uncalled for.I was eventually able to call them back and provide the code, at which point their attitude quickly changed. However, it’s unfortunate that such an excellent service was overshadowed by my off-putting experience with the front desk. Management needs to address this lack of professionalism to ensure a better overall experience for customers.

Alva is my go-to Massage Therapist. Her skill level is immediately recognizable from greeting to table & completion of your massage. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She is very attentive to detail, focuses on areas that need the most healing, and is very thoughtful & personable. I highly recommend her.

Really enjoyed my service at River Oaks Advanced Bodywork! I got a Vitamin C facial with Vivian and it was AMAZING! From being greeted at the door by the receptionist to the cleanliness and ambiance, all the way through the service itself. Vivian was gentle and thorough and had such a calming demeanor. Can't say enough good things. Will absolutely be back!

Andrea was absolutely amazing. I sit at a desk all day for work and she gave me many resources on how to take care of my body while working. The atmosphere was lovely, very calming and comfortable. I left feeling like a new person and the value was incredible, highly recommend to anyone wanting to treat themselves!

Excellent massage today with Raidel! My wife recently gave me a gift certificate. I booked online last night, but was unable to schedule using the gift certificate, so I put the deposit on my credit card. This morning, the receptionist spoke with her manager and they reversed the credit card charge. Always a great experience here at ROAB.

I've been to the original location a few times and I always enjoyed the service, and I can say the same for this location. I did a 90-minute sports massage with James, and he did a great job with focusing on my areas of concern. Clean and well maintained. Very low pressure environment and no upselling. They also run promotions frequently.

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.

My go-to place for massages and stretching while in Houston: deep tissue, couples massages, hot stone and other add-ons, reflexology, fascia stretching and more! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.I’ve been coming to ROAB since 2016! The original location is on Audley and this location is newer but no less wonderful. I’ve never been disappointed in all those years! I’m addition to regular massages, I’ve also had chakra balancing and energy work done with Isaac, the owner.Pros for Gibson street:-JUDY and ANDREA. My last two massages were with these two. It was just the right mix of relaxation (I fell asleep) and intense, deep breath inducing muscle work. I needed both. You’ll love the combo.-I like deep tissue with some stretching so I choose the 100 minute Integrated session. There are several types and durations to choose from.-The booking is relatively easy and seamless; typically they ask for a deposit which goes toward your total.- The space is smallish but well organized, quiet, and I never feel like I’m bumping into other guests.-Plenty of free parking.Cons:-The overall space is smaller (the layout is a narrow lobby and passageway) than the Audrey location and the rooms are too. Not a problem unless more space helps you feel comfortable.-I tried the packages when they first launched and it wasn’t a good fit for me.

A special opportunity to receive the owner’s healing hands and soul to release my sciatica nerve damage. He also recognized that my pain comes from holding emotions.I will be returning to receive his Chakra treatment and to become a member.
