Review from DineoutGal A.

It's located in a strip of adjoining houses that form a pseudo strip mall on Academy Road. I like that they're open 7 days a week and that they are open till 9 pm on weeknights. They have a lot of therapists there so I can usually get an appointment on the same day that I call.
I go with a different therapist every time, some are better than others. My definition of a great massage is someone who listens to my problems and then gives me a super deep tissue massage. The good ones really focus on the problem and give advice on what to after the treatment. I've had some great massages here and some bad ones but this is all due to the fact that I go with a different therapist every time. Although I never found the right therapist here so I've moved onto another clinic. But for the times when I can't get an appointment with my current massage therapist, I call Academy.
Pros:
- very clean facility, sheets are decently soft
- they have a FT receptionist (some places don't)
- lots of therapists (possible to get in on the same day)
- good pricing; it's in line with most clinics around the city
Cons:
- because it's an old house, you can hear a lot noise from the second floor (loud creaks) which can be a bit distracting if you're looking for a very tranquil environment
- certain rooms kinda loud, like the one near the kitchen or the laundry room; I prefer the ones on the second level
- hit and miss with the therapists (some are friendly, a few seem a bit cold) so if you find a good one, keep them!
- if you want direct billing to your insurance company, you have to pay a $3 admin charge - kinda annoying since other places don't do that. But you can just pay the entire bill and handle your own reimbursement if you want to avoid that charge.
