Great massage! I've been to both locations and they both did a great job! Can't wait to visit again soon.

Excellent massage with Carmen - hit all the trigger point and I am already feeling looser. Staff was very kind and the facility was gorgeous! I would give this place more than 5 stars!!! Will definitely be back soon! 

Very good service and felt great after leaving!! The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Amazing experience from start to finish! Today was my first session that I booked through ClassPass and it was wonderful! Johanna was so kind and the front desk team was welcoming. 10/10 recommend. Great experience!

I absolutely recommend this place and Judy Simpson is one of the best massage therapists i have ever been to - she works wonders! Shannon

 Just had my first cupping massage from Joanna!

I didn't know what to expect at first so I was a little nervous, I normally just get a Swedish massage from wherever! So happy I went with cupping. Class pass put me on this place and safe to say I will be coming back to see her she has magic hands haha her pressure is 10/10 not too hard and not too soft

Easy scheduling; Easy location; On time appt; Clean and smells great; Joanna - kind, considerate, professional

I've been searching for a good massage therapist due to my neck and shoulder pain, but was not able to really find one until I met Raidel at ROAB. He really worked on my knots and made sure the pressure was okay. It is also a very relaxing ambiance with plenty of parking around, which is a bonus.

Joanna was awesome, met all my expectations. Felling so much better! Felt safe and secure. I will be back.

The massage therapist knew how to approach my sciatica nerve damage.

My body was extremely sensitive to the hot stones. With Carol's gentleness, she was able to slowly apply the stones and press into the sciatica nerve. I should have scheduled the massage when I first became .

I have already scheduled a second massage to the sciatica nerve for this week. I need to return to perfect health.

The entire staff accommodated every need. Thanks.

Just lovely people and great service. We will be back! For sure.

If you are looking for a great massage in the River Oaks area, definitely give this team a try!

LOVE LOVE this haven for self care!! I have massages and other services from at least half of the therapists and all are amazing. Issac, Ismaray, and Claudia are some of my favorites. The staff are always so kind and helpful. Go now!

Radiel, was and always is fabulous, he is super profesional and really knows to hit the spots that are super tight in the body. Super respectful and a kind individual love his therapeutic touch !!

Amazing experience from start to finish! Today was my first session that I booked through ClassPass and it was wonderful! Johanna was so kind and the front desk team was welcoming. 10/10 recommend. Great experience!

First time visiting this location. As soon as you walk in you feel calm. The smell, soft music, lighting and texture all around you gets you ready for your treatment. I had a deep tissue massage and ask for a 15min scalp massage towards the end. Omg, the entire session was AMAZING!!! This is definitely my new location and now thinking about getting their membership. We shall see 🙂

I enjoy coming to the River Oaks Advanced Bodyworks, because the facilities are clean and smell good and are beautiful. The front staff are kind and professional, and the masseuses that I have seen there so far, have been very effective in helping relieve my body aches, and generally giving me a great massage I really like going to River Oaks to get massage.

I had the absolute best experience with Judy. I arrived at my appointment with so much stress and tension and left feeling so rejuvenated. Judy was very talented and had strong intuition about what my body needed to feel restored. ROAB is serious about healing.

My massage with Judy was incredible! She was very skilled, professional, thorough, and kind. I walked out of there a new person! I will definitely be going back to her again in the future, much less the next month.

I found this River Oaks Advanced bodywork's through a friend's recommendation. I had one of the best massages I have ever had by Carola! She talked to me about where I was experiencing tension and pain and focused the massage on those areas. I have already booked my next appointment with her in two weeks!

Everything about the experience was great- from booking the appointment to the ambience to the quality of the massage. Yvette was able to get every one of my problem areas... I liked that it was straight and to the point- she didn't spend too much time on the little stuff and spent a lot of time focusing on the important stuff. Best massage ever.
May I recommend a 90 minute integrative massage that focuses on trigger points. Great for overall tension and stress. It hurts at times, in the good way but it's necessary. You won't regret it.

If you go here, make sure to book your massage with Judy. She made sure to understand exactly what I was looking for right before the massage. She asked good questions and did very well at explaining what each massage did. I have IBS and I was sooo surprised that her massage on my stomach didn't hurt at all!! She literally has hands of an Angel.

Seen a few therapist here, if you ask the front desk they will tell you all the top people, the busiest people and more. So far my experience has been great with every massage therapist! Definitely recommend getting a 90 minute massage. They send confirmation text and leave voicemails for your convenience. Come on over to relax!

I have been receiving healings from Emma Moreno for many years and I am thrilled that she is now a part of the River Oaks Advanced Body Works staff of therapists and healers. 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. I always leave her healing sessions feeling so much better; physically and mentally. I highly recommend Emma Moreno!

Magnetic Therapy with Emma

This therapy alkalizes the body and helps you feel refreshed. The way that Emma does through kinesiology it is even better!! I can feel a ton of healing sensations throughout my body when she works on me. So while there are many places and people that do it, Emma is the way to go!

I go into a meditative state during this relaxing therapy and I come back to Emma whenever I feel that my internal organs need support or if I notice that my vision is a bit off. Anytime I need extra support raising my vibration on a physical, body level, the Biomagnetism technique that Emma does is always a life saver!

Also I like to come back for magnetic therapy as one of my preventative therapies to stay in a healthy eating routine. For example if I ate too much fast food or junk food and struggled to start eating healthy again, I noticed that the Biomagnetism helped me kill off bad bugs, viruses and bacteria that cause cravings (i.e. to support anti Candida diets and killing off parasites after traveling or getting really sick). The best is when you keep up with therapy and come back for maintenance periodically to optimize your alkaline levels for every day life.

Thank you Emma for keeping me healthy and on track with my health & fitness by helping me repair my gut bacteria and flora with magnetic therapy. Thank you for healing my eyes when the floaters kept blocking my sight or when my eyes were itchy & achy. Also, thank you so much for helping me maintain my mental health by placing magnets on my head when I needed to correct my brain wave activity and through the placement of your hands on my head. Truly this therapy has so many benefits, seen and unseen and it has helped me so many times. I keep coming back for more!

I'm such a fan of this place - their massage therapists are the most knowledgeable in Houston. I recently tried cupping here for the first time- and now I'm a convert. They use silicone cups so it's a very slow and gentle process, and my chronic back muscle tension is gone.

This is the only place I trust with my back because they have real back specialists. When moving here I've been a lot of places but this place has the best people. I live 1 hour away!!!! I come here at least once to 2 times a month..

This is a two year update.
River Oaks Advanced Bodyworks is still going strong. They have expanded their floor place and built upgrades to their facility. Always relaxing, clean, beautifully decorated and full of kind, caring folks offering great massage and cosmetic treatments that heal the mind, the body and the soul. I have taken a break from getting massages during the lost of year of covid but I started back up a couple of months back and I didn't realize how much I needed my regular massages. The facility has been upgraded to take necessary precautions for covid. The staff are masked, the spaces have social distancing plexiglass panels for checkin/checkout. The massage rooms are clean, uncluttered and a sanctuary of healing and relaxation.

My preferred massage therapist has been Raidel, he still is. I started with him and we clicked so well on that I never tried the other therapists, I am told several other therapists are also great by my friends who have also tried this establishment.

Because this is a smaller facility, there are no changing rooms, lockers or showers. I simply go to Lifetime Gym a block away after my shower for sauna, steam room and showers. It makes a very nice combo of an afternoon of relaxation and therapy.

I have only good things to say for this establishment and the great folk who work here. Definitely give them a try if you live, work or work out in the area.

Received a gift certificate here and was nervous to try it. I was very happily surprised! I absolutely loved my masseuse Joanna. She gave me a very deep, thorough and relaxing deep tissue massage. I will definitely be going back and will book Joanna again!

Go there..I was in desperate need of a massage so I yelped for a good place. This place is professional, clean and well planned. Raidel, worked through every knot paying close attention to areas I called out. I'd imagine based on other reviews you really can't go wrong trying this place out, you wont regret it.

Emma Moreno's abilities with energy relief are beyond belief. Her tapping is a gift to any person with aches and pains. She is highly trained and deeply spiritual, so when she begins tapping, she helps you feel all of her experience. Thank you, Emma

I've been here about five times now and have seen Raidel each time. He's wonderful, professional, and I think I found 'my person'. I have a lot of trouble with my right shoulder, and he uses many different techniques that hit just the spot. He focuses on the areas you ask him to, and needs very little direction from me. It's great every time, and I'll be back.

I made my appointment through Class Pass and am happy to say that I will be a returning customer! Carmen was my massage therapist and she did an amazing job. She knew exactly where to focus on. She truly has a gift and I will forever go to her. She got rid of all my knots and I felt so refreshed and energized after the massage. Thank you Carmen!

3rd review for this place and I've been to multiple therapists. Raidel blew me away today. I will be going back to him. I've seen other therapists who are great as well.

I had the 60 min (70 min w/consultation) massage with Joanna. I recently moved back to Houston and needed to find a new massage place for my shoulder impingement. Joanna was great and gave me an awesome whole body massage. I loved the added in face massage. The ambience of Joanna's room is also super cool and relaxing.

Really appreciate the well and meticulously curated ambiance and the effort the ladies in the front desk put to squeeze me in last minute. I have been here three times within the last 2 months and each time has been more than amazing. I have felt more relaxed and energized each time more than the last. Thank you river oaks advanced Bodyworks team 🙂

I wanted to give this no stars so people don't find out about this amazing hidden gem!

I was super skeptical when I arrived outside and in the hallways when I entered the building. Then I opened the door and stepped into a different universe!

The ambience was perfect! The smell was so good! The receptionist was quiet, but super helpful and nice! I looked around (they have items for sale) while waiting for my massage therapist, Isaac. As in other reviews, seemed he came highly recommended and boy am I glad I requested him bc he DID NOT DISAPPOINT!

We went into the room, he asked what type of massage I wanted, focus areas, problem areas etc (mini consult basically). I had a 90 min integrated. He spritzed something in the air before he started and when he finished - it was so relaxing. The massage itself was SO AMAZING. I normally HATE when "elbows" are used, but Isaac used it perfectly! I don't want to give away all the details, but do yourself and your mind, body & soul a favor and book an appointment ASAP!

I already have my next appointment lined up and can't wait for it! I highly recommend!

After a weekend of crazy travel for work, I was emotionally and physically spent. I looked on Yelp for a referral close to Montrose, and River Oaks Advanced Body came up. I went online and scheduled a same day Swedish appointment with Isaac and holy smokes--I feel like a new person. The space was clean and clearing (my mind needed it). The pressure was perfect. It was exactly what I needed. No fuss. No unnecessary schmoozing. I told Isaac where I carry my stress, and he went right to it. I'm making my August appointment as soon as I wrap up this review.

Tip: Don't come right after getting your hair done because the scalp massage is to die for!

Minerva was absolutely amazing! Very professional and I immediately felt at ease with her. By far the best massage I've ever gotten.
As a Hairdresser my upper back is full of knots and I usually look at massages as something I have to do and not something I enjoy. Minerva got out all of my knots out and it was actually enjoyable! I loved how she added stretching my muscles into her massage. I'll be seeing her every 3 weeks now!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND *****

Great place for a great massage. I really appreciate the time that Isaac took out of his day to do my massage. Felt more relaxed and less stressed out. I never get massages but Isaac definitely made me feel comfortable. I left feeling like a new person. Would definitely recommend this spa to family and friends.

I had an excellent 45 minute upper body massage with Carmen today. She achieved just the right balance of firm pressure to relieve tension while still keeping the massage relaxing and enjoyable. I will definitely be back to see her in the future.

Had a 90 minute prenatal massage today with Andrea. I left feeling drunk it was so good. She listened to my specific ailments, addressed them and so much more. They gave me a body pillow to lie on my side which was lovely. I highly recommend Andrea and this place!

I had a massage (myofascial release) with Kenya yesterday and I feel significantly better! I have super tight glute muscles, which was causing lower back pain. After the massage, my lower back pain is almost gone. I'm ready to book a second massage with her this week. She's amazing- Very knowledgeable and effective.

What I also enjoyed was the hot towels she used on my muscles to warm them up. I've never had a massage therapist do that, but it was GREAT. It allowed her to get deeper into the muscle without causing me too much pain. After massaging an area, she wiped that area down to remove the oil/ lotion she used during the massage. I hate how most massages leave you feeling super oily afterwards, so I really appreciated the wipe down!

The place is located in a big building with other offices, but don't let the outside appearance deter you. When you walk in, it is a serene and relaxing environment. The rooms are quiet with nice lighting and music. I will definitely be back to see Kenya ASAP! She's the best masseuse I've had in a LONG time!
