Reviews
“Not only is Phoenix Rising reasonably priced, but it is also a safe, well-run and pleasant environment, especially during this health crisis. They take every possible precaution, resulting in a comfortable, relaxed experience. I look forward to each subsequent session. I couldn’t recommend a visit more highly.”
“Phoenix Rising is a calm, clean space that’s easy to find with ample parking. I’ve been going to Jeremy for about a year and a half. The way I sleep really messes with my body and Jeremy is able to undo some of the damage with each appointment. When I leave, I can stand up taller and have better range of motion in my back and shoulders. I’ve also become more aware of my posture and how different parts of my body are connected. I always look forward to my appointment. Jeremy is so kind and adjusts each massage to what my needs are that day. I can’t recommend him enough!”
“We were comfortable from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. They were the perfect mix between professional and warm - as was the room itself. It was the most relaxing hour of the month for sure!”
“I was recommended by a friend to see Chuck Garlow for neck pain that I’ve been experiencing the past few months. It has been impacting my sleep and my everyday life. Chuck was SO knowledgeable and so helpful…even after one time, I felt relief! The best part is, he will explain everything as he’s doing it, and will already know what is triggering it and how to not only get relief, but fix the problem permanently. He is so professional and takes a lot of pride in what he does. What more could you ask for? I have already booked my next appointment! 12/10 recommend! I was blown away!”
“The whole crew at Phoenix Rising is incredible! In particular, Stephanie’s support with lymphatic massage prior to and as I’ve been healing from top surgery/double mastectomy has been an irreplaceable part of my health care. She is extremely knowledgeable and kind and helped my body heal quickly and happily. She really cares about giving people the support they need after gender affirming care, and gave me incredible advice and support around how I can help my body heal at home, not just during sessions. I’ve also received outstanding massages from Jeremy and Jo’Nell, and the entire staff and environment has great vibes, down to the very welcoming and knowledgeable front desk person.”
“I am hooked. They are so knowledgable about the human body’s muscles and gives awesome advice on how to stay relaxed in between sessions. The massage is tailor made just for you and how your muscles are that day, which they can read like a book. I can honestly say that I can feel the difference and I would recommend Phoenix Rising to anyone in a heartbeat.”
“I received an hour massage therapy session with Jeremy, it was wonderful! His assessment of my posture was thorough, his combination of massage & bodywork modalities allowed him to target restrictive patterns and motivate them to release, his communication was excellent. Thank you, I will be back!”
“Best massage spot in Buffalo! Spotless, friendly, professional and highly trained massage therapists!”
“During massages at other practices I have felt as though they were going through a check-list and moving from area to area. I leave each time feeling as though I have had a truly unique treatment tailored to what I really needed. The space is professional, but modern, clean, comfortable and inviting. Nothing more cozy in the swirling Buffalo snow than to leave her office with a bottle of water and that warm, glowing, renewed feeling.”
