Back and Balance Rehabilitation Center

I was expecting the worst after reading the reviews, but honestly it was fine. Yes the massage area is just separated by a curtain, but the massage was quite good. I might warn that if you are especially wary about your private areas, you make that very clear before the massage. It didn’t bother me, but when I flipped I just did it in front of the masseuse.

This was one BuyWithMe deal I wish I hadn’t picked up. I bought this back in November and yet I just got my massage today (it’s July) — the reason being that this place has the most inconvenient hours for anyone with a job (not open past 5:30 or 6 on weekdays, closed on weekends). I had to leave work early, arrived at a medical building in Brighton center. This place was hidden down a dimly lit corridor, I began to feel uncomfortable when I noticed the sign was probably printed off someone’s computer. It is a haphazard excuse for a medical facility, with1970s shade of pink curtains to give privacy for the patients and some plants to give it «nice» ambience.
This is a Russian owned place, and I mean no offense when I say that during my wait time I felt very awkward about pulling out my current summer reading choice, «Lolita». Sergio, a 50-​something year old came out to greet me and gave me the ½ hour massage, heavy on the oil, and even told me I would be sore the next day. It was slightly painful, but this was a therapy massage, not a spa relaxation massge — that was clear the second I walked in.
The cherry on top — I wanted to leave a tip, however the receptionist didn’t have ANY change, I felt like a bastard and quickly left. Avoid this place if you can.

I bought the buywithme voucher for a 60 minute massage and am not even going to bother to use it. I would rather waste the $ 25 I spent then have to call this place back ANOTHET time to get a person to pick up. Once I finally got someone, they told me they have no female masseuses. The woman there is extremely unhelpful. I would give this place zero stars if I could.

I don’t know why the address is Beacon Street when the location listed on my BuyWithMe voucher and the place I went to was at 320 Washington Street in Brighton. Either way, it’s just unfortunate that you can’t give a rating of NO STARS because this place doesn’t deserve one! There is no privacy. It’s dirty. The sketchy physical therapist that everyone seems to be referring to in their reviews creeped me out. He was incredibly loud and talked to his patients like they were dirt. It almost made me question if he was even licensed. He was sick and kept coughing and blowing his nose into a handkerchief (which I find repulsive since it’s basically recycling a nasty snot rag) and then not washing his hands and going back in the curtains with his patients. The woman that gave me a massage kept taking about some Avitar product. I don’t know what the hell it is but I don’t want to be sold anything when I get a massage — I just want to relax. The massage bed was draped with a twin size fitted bed sheet which hadn’t been changed from the previous client. Let me tell you, if this were giving away free massages I wouldn’t take one. And if you have a BuyWithMe voucher, I recommend you try getting your money back rather than cashing it it. Definitely not worth it! Not one bit!

this place is sketchy and I don’t think its legit. the” massage” I got was hardly one at all, and they tried to sell me things the whole time. no privacy during massage and you could hear some weird PT guy yelling at his patient the whole time. I was «invited» to a $ 300 course too.

I’m a massage junkie and have tried just about every kind of massage there is. My treatment here included some polarity (energy work) which might be why the last poster said there wasn’t enough pressure. I did find the massage effective — my therapist knew what she was doing. But I am also very good at relaxing during massage and I’ve had massage where you’re in a room with other people — it just doesn’t bother me. As others mentioned, you are not in a private room you’re behind a curtain. What bugged me was them trying to sell me PT because it could include massage and «your insurance company will pay for it». If I don’t need PT — which I do but I go to Boston Sports Medicine — that’s kinda unethical… and I heard the same pitch word-​for-​word given to another customer so they were not recommending it to me based on my individual needs.

I bought the Buy with Me voucher thinking, $ 30 for a 60 minute massage sounds great!
I just called to schedule an appointment, and they have NO AVAILABILITY for massage clients after 5PM. Not even for January. Or February. Ridiculous. Only between the hours of 9 – 5. They reserve after 5PM time slots for their own patients, who are with the center for rehabilitation purposes. No availability through January for Saturdays.
If scoring an appointment was so difficult, I would never have bought the voucher.
