Testimonials

Gathered by Alden from admiring massage clients to share with you.

Jan. 27, 2024 in Arlington, MA (in-studio)

Alden is the best. Hands down. And hands on! I described my tight shoulders (from days at my desk), and pulled calf (from running too hard), and he knew exactly what to do. I left feeling fixed and relaxed. I’ve had therapeutic massages that alleviated ailments but were too painful. And I’ve had relaxing massages that were practically useless. Alden gave me both therapy and relaxation. I’ve already booked my next appointment. And will definitely refer him to friends.

Alden is very precise and thorough with his massage. He also has this manipulation of muscles down to an art and is 110% present. He knows his craft and science. Highly recommend. This sounds over the top of a review, but it’s true.

I had the pleasure of receiving a massage from Alden yesterday, and I am so glad I did! They are an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable massage therapist who took the time to understand my needs and customize the massage to my specific preferences.

The massage started with a warm-up of my back, which felt exceptionally tight. Alden then moved on to my legs, using a combination of deep tissue and Swedish massage techniques to release the tension in my muscles. They were very attentive to my feedback and adjusted the pressure and intensity of the massage as needed.

After my legs, Alden worked on my arms and hands. They used various techniques to help me relax and release any tension in my forearms. By the end of the massage, I felt utterly relaxed and rejuvenated.

In addition to their excellent massage skills, Alden is also a very warm and welcoming person. They made me feel comfortable and at ease from the moment I arrived, and they took the time to communicate where my areas of tension were. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a relaxing and therapeutic massage. I am booking another massage with Alden in the future

First It’s a very calm and relaxing setting! Alden then seems to do magic with his hands! With just the right amount of pressure in the right places, you leave his massage studio feeling, relaxed, refreshed and recharged! He’s very professional and even did the leg work with my insurance company, which was greatly appreciated after being in an accident! Try him for yourself and you will see!!

This is my third time seeing Alden. I am a hairstylist and have lower back and shoulder issues. His style of massage therapy has really helped to disengage the knots in all my problem areas. His Arlington location is super convenient to my home and there is always parking on Mass. Ave. and he is a super nice person. I highly recommend his services.

Rarely do you find a massage therapist that hits all the marks- does an amazing job, genuinely friendly, and provides a relaxing environment in which to do such. I will be back- again and again!
