Review from Rosa S.

I get monthly massages. I try to buy discount delas for new places or I am willing to pay full price for people I know are great. This place has earned its spot into one I would revisit (even at full price). Yesterday I had the experience of getting a massage by Eric. The massage was absolutely amazing. His hands were amazing and I felt super awesome when I left. He hit places most massage therapists dont spend too much time on like a face massage and my arms. He hit every part of the arms including damn near my armpit- who knew it was tight in there? Anyways, the place is next to Starbucks and up the elevator. The space was small/ clean. The background music was blah and lights were not dim enough for me but I swear his massage made up for everything else. I have had the pleasure of finding two super awesome therapist through offers like groupon (This one was from Buy With Me). I will definitely go back to get another massge from Eric. I strongly encourage you to give him a try.

I had a really wonderful deep tissue here today with Michele (thanks Buy With Me!). I usually prefer going to male masseuses as they've been stronger in my experience, and I feel like I've generally gotten a better massage from them. HOWEVER my massage from Michele was GREAT! She used several different techniques I had never experienced before (including, I think, acupressure?), which was both interesting and really effective. I have a lot of neck/shoulder/upper back messiness, and she did a NUMBER on it.
Their location is super convenient, and the offices are really nice. Comfy beds, and lovely soft flannel sheets. In all, great experience and I would definitely return! -

I was fortunate to be able to book an appointment here with Michelle just 3 weeks after picking up the BuyWithMe coupon and it was totally worth it. She did a good job addressing my knee troubles and though they persisted after the massage, I did feel noticeably less stiff and sore than usual. She gave me some great tips on stretches too and I'd recommend her to anyone in need of a quality massage.

BMA is clean, convenient and completely worth the 8 months I waited to use my BuyWithMe coupon.
Eric is professional and friendly and made me feel at ease for my first massage ever (definitely won't be my last)! -

Let me preface this by saying I have a slight tear in my rotator cuff, a pair of balky knees, 3 herniated discs, and bad hips and feet. My job also requires me to carry 30-50 lbs of equipment at length and drive great distances, which is fantastic on my sciatica.
Having said that, I've had 2 appointments with Eric so far, and I'm feeling great. He's helped my hamstrings and quads stretch out, and my shoulders and back feel refreshed.
I would highly recommend Eric and the services of the BMA. -

I just returned from a deep tissue massage with Eric and I couldn't wait to jump on Yelp and write a review. First of all, I booked my appointment back in July after I purchased a BuywithMe coupon. After a couple cancellations on my end, as well as Eric's, I finally got in to see him 8 months later. All I can say was it was worth the wait.
The massage was a combination of deep tissue and from what Eric told me, a style he learned in Thailand. While it was fairly painful (since I had knots all over), he worked until all my kinks were out and I left feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. I sit at a computer 9-10 hours per day and after this appointment, I feel that all my tension that I carry around was washed away within my one hour appointment.
I don't usually treat myself to massages, in fact this appointment was my first in over a year. But after my massage here, I immediately booked my follow up appointment. Eric is great and I would recommend him to anyone. -

Although it took me a while to get an appointment with Eric (testament to his popularity!) I was glad I waited it out. My massage was just what I needed.
I have a fair number of old injuries and chronic pain issues and have had lots and lots of bodywork over the years, so I know the difference between good and bad massages, believe me! Eric definitely falls squarely in the 'good' category. He listened to my description of current pain and issues and went right to them, working specifically and deeply (in a good way!).
Additionally, he was low key and willing to chat while working, which is a huge plus - especially if you're a massage 'newby'. It's nice to have your massage therapist so easily able to put you to ease.
All in all, highly highly recommended. Although I hate to say so, since it'll mean MORE of a wait to get an appointment! -

I've been going to Eric Derrico for a few years now. He is amazing. Every time I get snookered into "cheating" on him with another massage therapist with a groupon deal, I always wish I hadn't wasted my money. I've seen many massage therapists, and Eric's skill level is unmatched. Every minute of a massage with Eric is productive and satisfying. He combines a lot of modalities depending on your needs. Eric is an incredibly attentive massage therapist. He works with my individual needs and desires. If I want more pressure, I get it. If I want less, he backs off. If I need him to focus on a certain area, he does. If I want to chat during the massage, he's very interesting. If I want quiet, he shuts up. If I have questions, he answers them. If my body needs something that I don't even know about, he tells me. If I need to stretch, he stretches me. I think I've made my point! BMA is a great business to support because Eric is very generous with his money and time. Check out the website to see some of the great causes he volunteers for.

I see David Appleton for acupuncture and I swear by him! The acupuncture has helped me with tendonitis and acid-reflux. David is extremely knowledgeable and is able to explain to me in simple terms how Chinese medicine works and how it differs from Western medicine. I would highly recommend him.
