Matrix Spa & Massage Customer Reviews
This place is interesting and my therapist was definitely unique. He only massaged my upper body and told me to breathe into my collar bone and other instructions that I didn't quite know how to follow. My elbow was sore for a day or two after. I do think he was genuinely trying to help, but I would have liked more explanation of what was the rationale behind the movements and instructions. I also would have preferred to have received some work on the legs, but again 60 minutes sometimes isn't enough time I guess. Other members of group liked there experience more and described there massages very positively. The offer to return gratis by the owners in their comments below is a nice sentiment and a testament to how they care for their business. (Unfortunately I was visiting from out of town so cannot do so but again appreciate it)

Donna May rocked my world - the best massage I've gotten in salt lake so far and I've tried a few different spas at this point. The level of pressure, the intuition, the obvious mastery of her craft - cannot recommend her enough. She is a neck wizard.

Best Massage I have ever had. Donna May provided a relaxing and therapeutic massage. She always had the perfect amount of pressure and seemed to tailor the massage just to me. I will book with Donna May as often as I can. She is also such a kind person.

Well worth it!My wife and I were needing time to unwind and relax, I bought the Emerald Package, it was well worth the money! The amount of time and detail the staff took us was amazing. We left feeling relaxed and ready to tackle the world again. We are going to be coming back. The spa downstairs was amazing, what a way to finish off the night after a massage. Thank you for making our night!

There are so many good things to say about this place. The biggest shout out to Donna May who gave me the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had in my life. Repeat: the BEST deep tissue massage I’ve ever had IN MY LIFE. The price was $95 for an hour.Other pros: they got me in on a Sunday.The facility is very clean.They have optional spa upgrades (see photos).Cons: They have this required form where you have to fill out medical information. I don’t like providing my medical information and it wasn’t necessary for this type of appointment.The booking process could be simpler but it’s not a make or break.Overall, I had a nice time and look forward to booking with Donna May in the future.

My mom and I did the mother and daughter package and overall it was a really awesome experience! The place was under construction but they were able to accommodate our needs, the only downside is I never even knew our massage therapists names and I am kinda bummed about not being able to utilize the hot tub or sauna but I guess that means I’ll just have to come back another time! (:

A delicious sanctuary. I felt the worries of the week being worked out of my body. Richard was my “ Sensei” masseuse educating me on muscle connections and guidance on how to release tension. This is now my spiritual hideaway once a month.

This was my first visit to Matrix. And I can't wait to go back! I've already scheduled my next massage.The pricing is excellent. You totally okay for their quality and expertise, without paying any markups I've seen at other places. What I received was worth every penny and more.Atmosphere is amazing. I felt welcomed and at ease. It was peaceful and serene. Everything was so nice and clean, and the Covid distancing was easy and encouraged. I got a couple's massage with my partner. The room was nice and big, and the tables were wider than I'm used to at other places.Both therapists were very professional. They listened to my wants and needs. Their instructions were simple and given in a friendly, adult manner. All the things I asked for were given in spades. This is the first time in my whole life a therapist actually respected my wish for soft pressure on my lower back and hips. I can't believe it still. All my covered areas were respected. Rolling over was easy and done with privacy.It feels GREAT. Best massage ever, no doubts. I left feeling so much more relaxed and loose than when I came in. I used to get 3-5 massages a year. But then Covid happened, so I haven't had a massage in over a year. The tightness and knots were no joke. But my therapist worked them out and loosened me up like it was nothing. Like I said, my request for different pressures in different places was honored.I couldn't have had a better experience, there's just no way. Five stars? 100 stars!

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I wear for my massage session?
When coming in for your massage, it doesn’t really matter what you are wearing. However, you may find it easier after your massage if you have clothes that are easier to slip back into.
Can anyone receive massage therapy?
Massage Therapy is great for everyone. However, we do ask that if you are currently under doctor’s care/treatment for a specific illness or injury, that you receive permission from your doctor to get a massage. Most likely they will tell you it’s ok.
Do I need to come to my appointment early to fill out any type of paperwork?
If it is your first time at Matrix Spa & Massage, we do ask that you get here about 5 minutes early. Our intake form is very brief and won’t take more than a minute or 2 to fill out.
What can I do post massage to lessen any soreness?
If you received a Swedish massage or reflexology, it is very likely that you will not feel any soreness. However, it is still VERY important for you to drink a lot of water. During all massage sessions, toxins are released into your blood stream, and to prevent feeling sick, plenty of water is recommended.
If you received a deep tissue or sports massage, or even in some cases a Hot Stone massage, you will want to take a very hot Epsom Salt bath after your massage. We recommend Dr. Teal’s Epsom Salt with Eucalyptus which can be purchased at Walmart or Smiths.
Are there types of massages that hurt?
Sometimes, depending on how tense your muscles are, a deep tissue or sports massage may be a little painful. If it is ever too much pain, make sure and let your therapist know and they will use less pressure. Don’t be shy to ask questions or give feedback to your therapist throughout your session. This will help assure you are happy with the massage you receive.
How often should I see a massage therapist?
We recommend a massage at least once a month. However, depending on your individual situation, your therapist might recommend more or less often. It is always best to discuss timing with them after your session.
Is It Okay to Talk During a Massage Session?
Yes, absolutely. You should always speak up if something is uncomfortable. Secondly, keep the lines of communication open during deep tissue massage or sports injury massages. Your therapist needs the feedback to work on you properly and without aggravating an injury. On the other hand, if you are looking for relaxation, it’s often best not to talk unless necessary. This lets your mind as well as your body release tension. With the right mindful breathing technique, you may even achieve a stress relieving meditative state during the massage.
Can I get a massage when I'm Pregnant?
Most likely, unless your doctor says otherwise. Prenatal massage can reduce and relieve common pregnancy issues like lower and upper back pain, sciatic nerve irritation, swelling, tension headaches, heartburn and constipation, and more. Let your massage therapist know that you’re pregnant so they can use the right techniques during the session.
Will I be Covered During the Massage Session?
The law always requires that you be appropriately covered with sheets or towels to keep you comfortable and warm. If you start feeling uncomfortable or exposed, speak up. Your therapist will respect your wishes and work with you to make the massage session a comfortable one
Must I Get Completely Undressed?
No, only undress as much as you are comfortable with. Some people prefer undressing completely, while others prefer to keep undergarments on. You’ll have privacy in your massage room to undress before the session and redress afterwards.
How Often Should I Receive a Massage?
It depends on your massage therapy goals. Some people get a monthly massage to manage stress or to prevent health problems. Others opt for weekly sessions if they need relief from injuries and chronic tension.
What Does a Massage Therapist’s License Mean?
Licensing and certification mean that the massage therapist can legally practice massage in your city or state. To get this license, they must have performed several hours of training at an accredited school, past the extensive licensure exam, and have paid any relevant licensing fees.
Does My Health Insurance Cover Massage Therapy?
Every insurance plan works a little differently, so your best bet is to contact your insurer directly. Some plans do cover alternative therapies including chiropractic and massage. You will likely need a doctor’s prescription first. If you don’t have health insurance, or if it doesn’t cover massage therapy, you can find massage therapy coupons and discounts on our site.
How Much Should I Tip My Massage Therapist?
How much depends on how pleased you are with the service and how much the massage costs (the full price, not any discounted fees). One easy trick is to think about how you would tip a waiter after a similarly priced restaurant meal. This is often 15-20% or more if you received exceptional service.
What If I Don’t Want a Massage Therapist to Work on a Certain Part of My Body?
Let your massage therapist know before the session if there are areas on your body that you don’t want to be touched. They will have the training and experience to give you a therapeutic massage while working around ticklish or sensitive places like your feet or abdomen.
