Best Massage Parlours near me in Center City West, Philadelphia

My upper back has been killing me for months. I travel full time and am a jeweler so my posture is awful. Joseph was so kind and thorough that I now want to book every time I’m in Philadelphia. Best massage of my life.

Seriously amazing massage. Feel like I have serious relief for my tight shoulders and upper back and my plantar fasciitis! One of the best massages I have ever received and I go all the time. Wished I lived in Philly again!

Honestly, this was the best massage I’ve ever had. Joseph provided a thorough, comprehensive deep tissue massage and identified helpful suggestions about posture, ergonomics, and hydration that can help me moving forward. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The office is clean and comfortable. I wish I lived in Philadelphia so I could continue treatment here!

HANDS DOWN the best Sports Massage I’ve ever received in my life. As a dancer and theatre performer/singer, Joseph was extremely knowledgeable and intuitive with what my body needed in an incredibly specific way. He pinpointed the exact issues in every area of my body. It was an extremely intense massage. Because my muscles needed a lot of release and attention, but it was very very very necessary. I’m shouting from the rooftops about how everyone needs to see Joseph!!!

Tiffany was excellent! I loved that she made sure to check in that I was aware this would be different from a spa massage, and the massage itself was fantastic. I could feel the muscles all over releasing tension as she worked, and several hours later I'm still feeling relief.

I swear Joseph has magic hands. He fixes problems I ask him to, AND finds and fixes problems I didn’t even know about. He is worth more money than I am able to give. If you have any issues I wouldn’t hesitate at all to visit what may be the best massage therapist in Philadelphia. I could not recommend this man more if you can’t already tell

Always One of the BEST massages I have EVER had! He just keeps getting better and better. Joseph Rathman has such a deep knowledge of anatomy, Physiology & Kinesiology that when combined with his interpersonal skills & strong hands you do not leave the way you came trust me! Be sure to communicate the level of pressure you want as he can erase the most stubborn of knots. I have been seeing him for several years now and, he’s a dream come true when it comes to a true Massage therapist, I can’t recommend him enough! He is Philly’s best-kept secret that everyone with back pain should know about

Overall, the massage was great and much better than my last experience at Phila Massages. The pressure was a little inconsistent, but Joey was great and adjusting as needed!

I had a really great experience with Joey today. He did a wonderful job pinpointing problem areas as I am in the building phase for a marathon. After the massage he was willing to chat with me about exercises I can incorporate into my practice to help work on the muscles in between massages. Will definitely be excited to come back and work with him again

Joseph is a very gifted massage therapist! I have several years of experience in body work after having experienced multiple injuries. My first experience with Joseph broke long standing problems in my musculature. Today he went so deep that I had an emotional release, which has only happened 1 other time in 20 years of work. He is also extraordinarily compassionate and kind. I highly recommend him!!

Joseph is a true sports massage professional! This was my first visit, and he instinctively worked on all of my deep, difficult trouble spots! So glad I have found a real place to get some quality body work done!

Best sports massage!

I had an amazing massage with Joey and I can’t recommend him enough! I came in dealing with jet lag, body aches, and overall tension, and Joey completely turned things around. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and really took the time to understand the issues I was experiencing. His technique was spot on — he relieved all my pain and left my body feeling so much lighter and more relaxed. It honestly felt like a reset for both my body and mind. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens and delivers real results, Joey is the one!

Great massage! Thank you

I met with Ross for my first massage to Phila Massages. The room was well appointed and he seemed to think of everything I might want or need. Is the music the right volume, etc. I wanted a deep tissue massage to relieve tension and stiffness. He did not disappoint! This was also a sports massage so he gently stretched and explained as he went how the stretch was working. He worked with me by asking if it was feeling okay. This massage exceeded my expectations. The next day I was able to raise my arm which has been frozen due to injury & able to stretch in deeper positions. Thank you Ross!!!
