Philadelphia Massage Studio

Feb 06, 2023

I contacted Philadelphia Massage Studio to purchase a gift certificate for a dear friend of mine based on a number of glowing reviews. Unfortunately, the owner was extremely unprofessional. He texted and asked to meet up with me to complete the credit card transaction (weird, but okay), and said he would call to let me know when. He never called. When he followed up via text days later, I politely let him know I had gone in a different direction with the gift, but would contact him for a massage next time I was in town. He said, "I'm glad you found what you were looking for. I'll PASS on future massages." As a customer, there's nothing more frustrating than going out on a limb for a small business and ending up in a petty interaction that feels like a situationship with a frat boy.

If you are in pain on a daily basis like I am, William is the masseuse for you. He touches trigger points and connective tissue. You may be a little sore a day or two after the massage, but it is worth it!

I just got done seeing William because I had a slight pain in my back, he really took his time and worked on my back. I feel great and I highly recommend William.

I love Philadelphia massage studio. Will is always very nice, he always explains the different styles of massages and answers any questions i have in a clear cut and professional manner. It is always Very clean and he always makes it a pleasurable experience. He absolutely gets 5 Stars and an A+ from me and my friends 😊 👍🏼👍🏼

I've only gone to see Bill a handful of times when my shoulder starts flaring up - my shoulder is always making cracking noises and the aching extends to my left pec and right shoulder blade because of it. I'm always so grateful I can quickly book an appointment because usually by the time I do, the pain is really uncomfortable and Bill does an amazing job at loosening my shoulder up, so much so that I probably don't go to him as much as I should because the sessions give me substantial relief. I'm going to try my best to come more often so we can, at some point, move beyond just working on my left shoulder for the entire time haha. Thanks Bill!

Incredible therapist. I have been in pain for weeks and tried many other massages and therapies and William is the only one who relieved me of my pain. Very very grateful to him. Great listener, instilled trust he could tackle my problems, and he followed through. Many thanks William!!

My lower back has been hurting so I decided to try a massage. I submitted a contact form and was called within 20 mins which was awesome. I set up an appointment, then the time had to get changed to later which was not a problem. The problem is I arrived at 7:20 for my 7:30 appointment to a building that looked like it was an apartment building the blinds for the first floor apartment were open so you could see it was definitely not a massage studio. I called and texted a handful of times with no answer. I waited until about 7:45 called again and then eventually just left. I get things get crazy and people get busy but don’t set up the appointment if you can’t keep it. Bare minimum answer the phone abd communicate that. Very disappointed in this whole experience

I've been looking for years for someone who could do enough pressure to help get my tension out. This place is incredible. So relaxing and such a beautiful interior. Couldn't recommend this place more and I'm one who doesn't recommend many massage therapist. Go here! You won't be sorry

I’ve been struggling with left shoulder pain and went to William. He’s absolutely fantastic at his work! Walked out pain free.

Bill is a life saver. If you have pain and need help his massage studio is the place to go! He works very thoroughly on triggger points and fascia, he is empathetic, and spends a great amount of time and energy to alleviate his clients ailments. I walked out of there feeling much better and the results are lasting 😊

Billy is unique.  I have been to too many bodyworkers/massage therapists and what-not in the attempts to get my shoulder working properly again.  Most of my sessions ended in massive disappointment as, after 2-3 days, the temporary relief disappated and the pain and dysfunctionality set in again.  This has been near 90% of my experience in massage therapy and body work.My shoulder has been through so much trauma, I can't even begin to tell you.  After the surgery, I thought everything would eventually be fine, but it wasn't.  I still had problems firing my triceps, still had pain in my shoulder, and still had dysfunctionality.  Thus it was with some trepidation that I decided to seek out a massage therapist again(trying to avoid the emotional highs and lows).My suprise was two fold with Billy; first, he actually listens to what I am saying.  I hate to say it, but that has been a rarity for me with massage therapists.  Too many want to stick to their 'system' and work from my feet up.  It never, ever worked.  Second, he was one of the first therapists to actually see what was happening in my shoulder.  This is also unique because most therapists couldn't see what, to me, was fairly obvious.  Not only was Bill able to see it, but he also knew how to go about it.

I came in with wrist pain from wrist tendinitis and learned of the interconnected nature of that pain - neck, scapula, arm, and hand work were done which took the pressure off the area in my wrist giving me pain and i felt an immediate difference after the appointment. I was skeptical at first, given that someone other than my doctor recommended this to me - but it works!

I really debated writing this review because I don't want to interfere with someone' s livelihood but on the other hand I'm out $118 for the worst massage I have experienced. I actually reached out because of all the high reviews for this massage therapist. I really question those reviews because of my bizarre experience. I'm willing to look past the cramped studio space, the music that cut out when he received text messages and even the loud rock music. I've never had a massage therapist play rock but that's not why I'm giving one star. I'm giving one star because honestly, I think he was under the influence. He fell asleep a frequently during my massage, I even asked him one time if he feel asleep when my massage paused and I saw his eyes closed. He denied it. This happened many more times throughout the massage. Most of the massage was one handed and weak. Also he didn't use any oil until the very end. After he answered his cell phone for his next incoming client he perked up and the last 5 minutes was the best part of the massage. If you're wondering why I stayed the whole time, so am I. I was hoping it would get better and also embarrassed to ask him to stop so I could leave. I don't doubt that he's an amazing therapist at times, per all the other reviews people swear by him. He seemed spacey and obviously tired. This was my experience and it was honestly so bizarre. I just wanted to post to maybe save someone some money.

I recently moved to Philadelphia and very glad to have found Bill. He’s exceptionally good and I felt immediate relief after getting a massage from him (his trigger point approach is fantastic). I have been getting massages routinely for the past ten years and find him to be among the very best therapsists I’ve had. Dag

You will not find a more thorough, empathetic, or talented massage therapist than Bill, owner of Philadelphia Massage Studio. I have suffered from chronic pain on the right side of my body for a year and a half. After unsuccessful physical therapy & chiropractic treatments, I was finally able to find relief after a long session with Bill. Bill's style is extremely unique. Unlike other massage therapists, once he identifies an uncomfortable trigger point, he will not stop until he traces the pain back to its root and provides relief. Before visiting Bill, I could not sit in a chair longer than 15 minutes without the right side of my body going partially numb. As of today, I am pain free and can only thank Bill for the service he provided. Thank you for the wonderful experience. I look forward to visiting again. 8/19/17.

Bill is very generous with his time. He gives a thorough and well-balanced massage, always making sure his client is comfortable. Very effective knot-removal technique. If you enjoy a massage and a conversation, you will have a great time.

Great massage! Perfect pressure and all of my points and aches were tackled masterfully. Highly recommend!

Feb 06, 2017

My massage was fantastic! Bill was super attentive and made my experience very comfortable. He asked if there were any areas of pain and was prompt to start.

Okay, let's cut right to the chase: MAKE AN APPOINTMENT HERE as soon as possible and go, especially if you're in pain [but hopefully before it gets to that point!] Billy was the therapist who did the massage when I made my first appointment. I was referred to Billy originally by my boss. What a lifesaver! He really knows what he's doing, is passionate about his profession and really cares about his patients. He listens well, isn't arrogant, is down-to-earth, funny and a nice guy. And his technique doesn't hurt. I repeat, it doesn't hurt. And, in the way of overall body I swear, I could tell a difference in my mental functioning while the massage was going on. Billy understands all of the ins and outs and can explain or answer any questions you have about your issues. Go here and your life will be changed for the better!!

I have had many massages in my day, but I subscribed to a groupon for Philadelphia Massage Studio, and gave it a try. I have never felt better. I had neck pain and always had a headache. I now get a massage from Bill every 3 weeks to 4 weeks, and I will continue to do so. I FEEL Great. He has a nice, clean studio, but most of all he KNOWS what he is doing. None of this feather touch, as I call it, but a deep tissue massage for the price of a Swedish massage. Great job, Bill, keep it up. See you soon.

This was my first time getting a massage. I was really nervous and I honestly didn't what to expect. But once I actually met with bill (my masseur), I was put at ease. He was very welcoming and friendly, before the massage started, he explained what was going to happen. I was comfortable the whole time (something I didn't expect for my first massage), The massage was great! I don't remember the whole massage, because I fell asleep, but I do remember I felt great afterwards. All the tension and stiffness had gone. I'll most diffidently will be coming back again, it's affordable enough for me to get massages on a regular.
