About Our Massage Therapist
“My strong ambition to help people is what drew me into the field of massage therapy, but my attentiveness and compassion are what set me apart from the rest.” – Rick
First time here (Referred by one of his clients) and OMG!!! I can’t get over how amazing and relaxing I felt after seeing Rick. Great atmosphere in all levels, very professional, great service and the spa is GORGEOUS. Rick definitely has a passion for what he does. I had the 75 minute service and I swear that wasn’t enough. I’m so ready to go again. I love that fact that he asked me about my health and things I wanted to focus on more if needed to. I feel like I can conquer about anything right now lol… but seriously check this hidden gem in Melbourne and Rick thank you again!
The location is beautifully appointed. My massage therapist Rick Torres was – in a word – incredible! He did a thorough intake interview (this was my first visit). We discussed the recent incident that brought me in but my physical/medical history as well. This wasn’t intrusive at all and I believe it benefited both of us for the massage session. Rick explained how he would approach today’s session and I have to say this was one of the best, if not the best and most thorough, massages I’ve ever had. He undid muscle tension in spots I didn’t realize were in such bad shape and all with pressure that ensured relief. And for all those hand/foot people – this man’s technique and pressure was the best I’ve experienced in over 30 years of being massaged. This man is the total relief package!!!!!!
I just had my first massage with Rick and it was one of the best massages I have ever had!! He really listened to me when I told him which areas were bothering me and focused on where my pain was. He is so knowledgeable and really wants to help people. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing massage or a therapeutic one, I would recommend to go and see Rick!!relief package!!!!!
Rick is a master at his craft. He takes in to account what you’re after all the while anticipating your needs. Every minute of the session he gives his all. I am thrilled I found an excellent therapist. I can’t imagine seeing anyone else. Can’t wait to be penciled in as a regular client. Thanks Rick!
Today I had such a “Relaxing” session With Rick! He immediately learned my body and figured out where I was have some pain & muscle tension (Neck & Lower Back) then aided in such a careful manner! I will be back to visit often & referring everyone that I know in need of a massage combined with TLC! Awesome experience I Am So Thankful!!
Just got a massage this week and am very impressed! I suffer from shoulder and back pain because of my profession and Rick relieved all the tension and pain. He is very knowledgeable and makes you feel super comfortable. I will be recommending him to all of my friends.
You truly do relax with Rick. This massage therapist is wonderfully personable, extremely knowledgeable, and charmingly passionate about giving the best massage for you and your needs! He is exceptionally professional, and makes sure you are absolutely comfortable at all times. In my opinion, Rick is the best massage therapist I’ve ever had!!! He knew exactly which muscles to concentrate on and diligently kept stellar pressure consistently throughout the massage. I undoubtedly will return for future massage sessions! I highly recommend anyone to seek out a session with him!
The location is serene. It’s clean and I feel comfortable and relaxed while there and after I leave. I was gifted with a massage from Rick Torres and the experience was wonderful. Rick is kind, patient, and his hands are amazing. I highly recommend him.
Had my first massage with Rick and it definitely won’t be my last! I get massages frequently and my only regret with Rick is that I didn’t find him sooner! He is a true healer and I’ve never felt more relaxed. I had a few pain areas that he worked on during the session and walked out feeling so much better. Can’t wait for our next appointment, thank you Rick!
Had the most relaxing massage with Rick. My neck pain was virtually non-existent post appointment. His expertise was helpful and I look forward to future visits.
Posting review on behalf of my wife. Rick was recommended to her and he provided a great service. One of the best massages she had. Very professional. Highly recommended
Rick was very thorough and never rushed his massage. I was complete mush when I got off the table… he focused on the areas I said hurt and his techniques were great. I feel so much better now!
Fantastic massage- great listener, extensive knowledge, and a sincere desire to help his clients feel better. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and feel so much better. Thanks Rick!
Amazing! My first visit and surely won’t be the last. Not only he’s attentive to your specific reasons for the massage, he educated me in the reason why those muscles are the way the are. Just great service overall
Rick is exceptionally knowledgeable an he takes his time to listen. His massage techniques is spot on. His deep tissue massages are great and are not painful at all with great results. I always have shoulder issues. I didn’t know you can have a deep tissue massage without the pain 😃
I already scheduled my next visit
Amazing experience. The place is clean, relaxing,cozy atmosphere. Rick is professional and knowledgeable. Definitely will be back!
Rick takes the time to understand and modify his treatment based on client’s needs. Very relaxing and I feel so much better! Definitely plan to incorporate consistently into my self-care routine.
My experience with Rick was awesome!!! It was my first ever massage and my daughter booked sessions for us. I don’t like to be touched but Rick made the experience enjoyable. We talked and he made me feel comfortable. He also really got in there. I will definitely book him again. I also highly recommend him; you will not be disappointed!
