  • “I am very athletic, so my body goes through a significant amount of tightness, aching, and pain. My body’s vitality is the most important to me, so I ensure to take care of it. I have visited various massage clinics over the years, many of which have left me deeply disappointed, but when I found Why Knot a couple of years back, I knew I had struck oil. I have had massages with five different therapists at Why Knot, and all of them have astonished me. Alex, Vicki, Sandeep, and Denis are the ones that are still currently on staff, and they know how to release tension.”

  • “Been going here for years and have had such great experiences. I've seen multiple therapists and each have such lovely dispositions, something for everyone. Some of us only have a finite amount of massages a year so thought I'd write a review for Why Knot, they're worth it.”

  • “I’m not someone that write reviews very often but I felt like I had to. I had the most amazing massage by Vicki this past week. Believe me when I say that I’ve tried many massage therapist before but she really knows what to do. I will definitely book everytime I am in town! Hopefully she still has some last minute availability when I’m in town.”
