Zen Muscular Therapy & Wellness

I had a sport related injury that never seemed to go away. I had been to a back specialist and a chiropractor. Each had given me temporary relief. Not since I went here have I had sustained relief. I have been able to sleep through the night and ride my bike. Would definitely recommend this place. more

I've been coming to Zen for about nine years. The staff are wonderful, excellent professionals. I generally come every 1-2 weeks. I have some severe sciatic issues from work. The staff really knows how to handle my situation and they treat my lower back so effectively I can get back to work quickly. They are always very attentive and I would highly recommend SM Burlington more

I've been coming to Zen Muscular Therapy for several years. I first came because I had quite a bit of stress in my life. and it caused severe muscle spasms in my upper back. The staff are highly skilled regardless of who you have. I would highly recommend the therapists at Zen Muscular Therapy of Woburn DZ, Reading more

I've had a lot of massages here over the last few months and have not been disappointed. I like the fact that this place caters more to pain relief and wellness not just spa services or fru-fru massage. Actually, if you are looking for a spa this is not the place. It is very relaxing there, but not super fancy or over the top. They have nice, cozy massage rooms and a yoga studio, but you won't be sitting in a robe or steam bath (they do have herbal tea though if you want it). The front desk staff are super nice and helpful, especially Melissa. All in all, this is one of the best massage places in the area. I plan on trying a yoga class next to see how they do with that. Pros: massage techniques, great service Cons: need later Sunday hours more

For the past several years, I have had much stress in my life, and Sheila has been able to ease the stress, pain and muscle spasms etc. Her knowledge of the anatomy enables her to identify which muscles are involved and how they connect and interact with one another. In addition, she receives the client's input to best treat the probem(s) and will give constructive suggestions to meet your individual needs. She treats the whole person. Sheila has a professional and skilled staff. It is good to know that Sheila and her staff can accommodate your emergency needs...even on a Sunday! I highly recommend Zen to help make your life more comfortable. Thank you for making my life have more quality! Pros: professional staff, treats the whole person, calm setting more

The massage therapists provide excellent professional services that address a variety of muscular issues. In particular, the sports massage and deep tissue massage are two very effective means to help move your body to a healthier state. I have been so happy with the services that I recommended Zen Muscular Therapy to my husband, and he was very satisfied as well! Pros: Calm and relaxing environment Cons: None more

I've been seeing Sheila, the owner, for a number of years and I couldn't be a more satisfied customer. She is caring, sensitive and really in synch with what her clients need. Her therapy space is soothing and warm. All of her staff seem really capable and friendly. I would recommend Sheila and her staff to anyone interested in a top quality massage from staff that are focussed on excellent customer service. Pros: The staff and quality of care Cons: None more

I've visited Zen several times now and always have a very good massage. I have seen a few different masseuses there and they all did great, deep work which is what I need. I always leave there feeling much better and with less pain and stress. The rooms are relaxing and the receptionist was very nice and helpful. Pros: professional masseuse more

The owner Sheila has been treating me for over 6 years, she has always been so in tune with my body that I do not even have to tell her where my pain is. During one of the most stressful times in my life I called her at the last minute and she came in just for me , not only that she worked on me for 2.5 hours so that I was able to deal with a very stressful time. I have also used others at her offfice and they have all been professional and extremely good at what they do. I have had massage therapy for over 15 years and they are the best around. Try it and see. Pros: Very professional Cons: None more

I've looked around for yoga classes in the burlington area for a while, and I'm so glad that this center is now offering several yoga classes. They keep the classes small (I think no more than 8 or 10) and its great. I feel like I can get really good individual attention each time I'm there. Kate is an awesome teacher too. I just wish they would add some early a.m. classes....but they say more classes will be coming in the future. Pros: Small classes, great teacher, easy location Cons: need more a.m. classes more

I visited Zen Muscular Therapy this week for the first time, and I was totally blown away. I had by far the best deep tissue massage ever. I was lucky enough to book a time with the owner, Sheila as I heard it was very hard to get in with her. Well, my expectations were surpassed by far. She is one of the most knowledgable massage therapists I've ever had, and she knew excactly what muscles and areas to work on to relieve my aches and pain (I never knew that muscles in other areas of my body were so connected!). I left there feeling almost drunk I was so relaxed. She really has a great place there, and she told me she personally trains her staff so that if I need to get back in sooner than she can see me, I wouldn't be disappointed with anyone else and be well taken care of. They even set up a student clinic to help train and mentor the next generation how great is that? Absolutely the best in the area! Pros: Super Knowledgable, cozy Cons: NONE more

I love getting a massage and have tried different treatments from all over, but I have to say that my favorite by far is the Thai Yoga massage that I get at Zen in Burlington. I get the best stretching of my life, and I leave there feeling relaxed, loose and totally centered from the yoga/energy aspect. I see why this treatment is nicknamed lazy man's yoga! The center is cozy and has a very friendly and professional staff who all seem highly educated and extremely experienced. Check out this place, you will be glad you did. Pros: Several treatments to choose from, good location/parking, cozy atmosphere Cons: couples thai massage not offered more

I?ve tried quite a few massage places in the area, and this is by far the best. I?ve been able to call pretty much last minute and they almost always are able to fit me in. I have seen a few of the therapists there including Shiela the owner and Keri and they have all surpassed my expectations. They really seem to have a superior understanding of the body and muscle system, which is very important to me. I don?t want to trust my body to just anyone, and you can tell that the therapists here are highly trained. They even have students come in from local schools and help train them too. I can pretty much guarantee that once you go to Zen you won?t want to bother going anyplace else. Pros: Staff knowledge, full 60 min treatments, easy access Cons: No insurance coverage more

I have been at Zen a few times for Deep Tissue Massage and am extremelly happy with the therapy they offer. Keri's deep work is very effective and takes my upper back and hip pain away. If you need intentional, injury related work, check this place out. I will definitely go back. Pros: Convenient parking, nice atmosphere, friendly therapist more

I've been a client at ZMT for close to two years now. I first went there because my wife's coworker always raved about the massages.....and I figured I would try it because I'd been having alot of pain in my low back (and my wife was getting sick of me complaining). No matter which therapist I've seen over the years, I leave there feeling absolutely amazing. They really do offer the best deep tissue massage/sports massage that I've ever had. I'm not surprised they win best massage each year. The place is very relaxing and the office staff are just extremely pleasant and helpful. They even have a student clinic now to help train the next generation of therapists......and if you don't need help for a particular pain issue and want a nice relaxing massage you can see a student for half price! Not a bad deal to fill in between regular sessions, that's what I do. Whatever your pain or issue is, you should really get a good deep tissue massage, and Zen Muscular Therapy is THE place to go in my opinion. Pros: Professional Staff, Atmosphere, Easy parking, Student Clinic Cons: none more

I had heard great things about this place, so when I fell recently and hurt my back I decided to call for an appoinment. What I heard about this place was pretty much right on target. When I told the receptionist what had happend and explained what kind of pain I was in, she made sure to get me in right a way. The owner Sheila, who I met while I was waiting , made me feel right at home and seems to take a great deal of pride in her center and her staff. The therapists that I've had so far are very nice and seem to be quite knowledeable about the body and injuries. I'm very happy with my treatment at Zen and I'd say this is the place to go if you are having a pain problem for sure, but also if you want to see someone who has a good understanding of the body and is focused on your health in general. Pros: service Cons: none more

I recently moved to this area from California and needed to find a quality place for massage. I used to see an amazing massage therapist in San Fran where I had treatments weekly for back pain. Upon moving to MA, I was worried that I wouldn't find the same quality of care here (CA is big on holistic health etc.).. Was I wrong! I was lucky enough to hear about Zen Muscular Therapy from one of my new coworkers, and decided to give them a try. This place is small, but has a very relaxing atmosphere and the staff is very friendly as well as professional. There are a few therapists that work there, and I've just seen two at this point, but both were excellent and completely understood what was going on with my back. They specialize in pain relief which is what I needed. This was much better than the alternatives I had been looking at, the "chain" massage studios that offered very cheap treatments but the staff were all straight out of school and often had no idea how to do anything other than your usual swedish massage. I would highly recommend this center to anyone looking for high quality massage therapy. Pros: Very professional, knowledgable staff. Easy access to highway, plenty of parking. Cons: none really more

Great service and committed staff. They have helped me with my sports injury which allows me to remain active in the sport I love, golf! Already booked 3 more sessions! Pros: ambience more

Great place, very relaxing, peacful atmosphere. Excellent deep tissue massage, not afraid to really get deep and get out the knots. I would highly reccommend to anyone who has fitness/sports related muscle injuries. They cater to exactly what you need. The Thai massage (stretch and massage combined) is awesome too ---especially for those of us who have really tight , unflexible muscles ---it loosens you right up. more

I've had several massages there with Sheila, shes amazing, very professional, she critiques the massage to what you want. I've had many massages at other places and this place is definitely the best. The atmosphere and decor is very nice, very peaceful and modern looking. Also easy to find, plenty of parking and a great locatoin. I would highly recomend them to anyone! Pros: Quality work, very nice atmosphere Cons: none more
