Best Massage Therapist around! Posted by diacono

Alexa is the best massage therapist in town. I have been a super-satisfied client for almost 2 years. I went to her with severe neck and shoulder tension problems. I had been to physical therapy and several specialists with no luck. The pain was so bad that I had been living on pain meds and muscle-relaxers for over 3 years prior. Alexa was able to do what no one else could--she got rid of my pain!! After seeing her a few times, my pain had substantially decreased and I was able to stop my Rx regimen completely. She was able to work out some HUGE knots in my neck/back that were contributing to my pain. She simply is amazing. Not only is Alexa attentive to your needs while you are in her care, but she goes above and beyond to offer help/suggestions for things that you can do at home to help yourself. She adjusts your sessions as needed (or requested) and makes certain to focus on what you ask her to. She is very friendly and personable (which I found other M.T.'s to lack). I'm lucky to have found her!

Pros: Location, flexible scheduling, great service

Cons: none

Fantastic Massage Therapist Posted by jgarn

Alexa is such a caring and accommodating massage therapist. She works with my schedule and takes time at the beginning of each appointment to ask how things are going and if there are particular muscles that need attention. She is also a highly gifted therapist who really knows what she is doing. I always feel so relaxed and 100% better when we're done!

Fantastic bodywork, very professional and attentive Posted by azulin

I'm a consistent client for more than two years. She is very professional, and her attention to detail made massage a fundamental part of my exercise training. Very good at making adjustments depending on your requests, and very good at tailoring her bodywork to your needs. Super thorough, and very invested in your health and well being. Best massage therapist I've seen, after seeing dozens over the past seven years.

Pros: good energy

A great way to relax and rejuvenate Posted by tpenguin

The first massage I got from Alexa was a gift from from my boyfriend, but I immediately became hooked on and kept coming back regularly. Alexa is a talented and very skillful massage therapist, and she also has a warm personality that makes me able to feel comfortable and fully relax during the massage. I particularly appreciate her skill in finding the tight knots in my shoulders, and her patience in working through them. I love the atmosphere in her room, the candles and the music, and her genuine desire to design the best possible massage for me. Strongly recommended!

Excellent massage therapist Posted by eprathe

For six months Alexa kept me sane while I planned my wedding (in another town). I've had many massages, hers are superb. She can make the worst tight spots release. I suffer from TMJ and seeing her bimonthly made a difference in my overall health. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to benefit from massage therapy.

Pros: Effective, relaxing, parking, location

Cons: none

Excellent massuese Posted by robinacasey

Alexa takes time to make sure each massage is tailored to your needs and preferences. She's very professional and personable and her massages are wonderful. I've had massages at some of the better known spas in Austin and Alexa's are on par or better than theirs but in a more private setting. I highly recommend that you give her a try.

Pros: great service, easy parking, centrally located

Cons: none

Everything a massage should be! Posted by kiwiwa

Alexa was recommended to me by a physical therapist. I had experienced some muscle pain while training for a marathon and needed to find a massage therapist who understood my needs and goals. Each time I would visit Alexa she would ask questions and listen to what I wanted worked on before she began each session. She used a variety of techniques depending upon which part of my body needed work, and she also recommended stretching exercises that I could use at home. I felt very comfortable with her and the massages really worked! Her office is very soothing and Alexa's manner is so calming that it doesn't matter what has happened during the day, by the time we are done I feel rejuvenated. I have been to several other massage therapists over the years, and although they were good I never quite felt that I got everything I needed (i.e. the therapist didn't quite understand what I wanted worked on, their energy was off, the office was chaotic,etc.) With Alexa you are sure to get Everything a massage should be!

Pros: Ambience, Parking, Location

Cons: none

Nothing less than 90 minutes for me! Posted by kayaker10

I received a gift certificate two years ago for a massage with Alexa and it was the best gift I've ever received. Alexa is very professional and genuinely caring. She is very attentive to your needs and is extremely knowledgeable about the musckuloskeletal system. She has been able to calm some very hot trigger points and knots in my hips,low back and shoulders. Alexa is very nuturing and her knowledge of alternative medicine is a great help. Her enthusiasm about health has rubbed off on me and helped me to become more aware of my body and what it is telling me. I highly recommend Alexa and give gift certificates to my friends and family so they may experience the same well being.

Pros: Convenient, flexible hours, parking

Cons: none

Relief When You Really Need It Posted by sharmsbaby

Alexa is great. She is awesome at deep-tissue and pressure massages. She also understands how busy schedules can be so my husband and I always appreciate how flexible she is with our hectic schedules. She is good at either setting up a regular schedule with you or like us she sees us almost every month but at various times. Not always easy to find someone who will work with your schedule. We really appreciate her customer service and her great massages.

best massage therapist ever! Posted by doggirl18

alexa is the best, hands down! the environment is welcoming, relaxing, and unpretentious. the massage is the best i've had, she has strong hands, which can be hard to find in a female massage therapist. i can't get enough, and i always leave feeling like a million bucks for days to follow. you'll be hard pressed to find a better massage in austin!

Best for the body and mind Posted by hink007

Gilmore Massage Therapy is the most professional and caring business in Austin, bar none. Alexa is professional and truely cares for the person's well being. I'm sure there are other good places in Austin to go for a theraputic massage but I cannot imagine any of them that has the care and concern for the whole person as Alexa does. I have been a client for over 3 years and was there in the early years. Her business has grown and it is obvious why that is. I promise you will walk away with a wonderful, relaxed, healed feeling from Alexa. She is the best.

Pros: a total relaxing and healing experience

Cons: none

Best sports therapist. Posted by wmcou

I run about 25 miles per week and regularly run half-marathons. I used to think that being tight, sore, and having knots were part of the price of running, especially for a guy of 56. My wife is a physiotherapist and at her prompting I decided to try massage a few years ago. I tried a few other therapists with modest results but then I met Alexa. What a difference! Tightness and knots gone. Running is easier and times are faster......... and it just feels good! I see Alexa once a month while training, and the week of, and the week following a race. She takes time before each session to ask about any particular "hot spots" and will give these areas more focus. I highly recommend her and anyone I have sent to her reports the same positive experience.

Pros: Expertise, easy parking, nice person

Cons: none

Perfect for athletes Posted by kdiaz

Out of the many sport-massages I have undergone by various masseurs/masseuses', I have been nothing less than thrilled with Gilmore Massage Therapy. Being an athlete myself, it is pertinent to keep my body free of injury and stress due to heavy training. Ms. Gilmore's expertise at assessing my sport-specific muscular complications is uncanny. I trust no one else with my body. I recommend Gilmore Massage Therapy not only as a relaxing mechanism to alleviate the hardships of daily life, but also to the athlete who requires the undivided attention of a superb sports massage therapist. She truly has healing-hands!

Gilmore Massage - Well Worth the Visit Posted by jhwalker

Professional, gracefully meticulous and caringly attentive are only a few words to describe Alexa Gilmore's gifted massage abilities. I consider myself to be particular with regards to what I expect from a massage, and Alexa’s precise manner and understanding of anatomy and muscular function are noteworthy. Often she will tackle my knot-riddled shoulders from many angles with numerous techniques to resolve the issues while I simply listen to the pleasing music and enjoy the downtime. I typically require a more determined massage, but I have also ventured to Gilmore Massage for a stress-relief relaxation session. Exceptional skills and well worth the visit.

superb massage Posted by nblock4082

I moved to Houston a year ago and still try to find time to see Alexa whenever I am in Austin. Alexa does a great job of tailoring each massage to my needs that day. She always does pre-massage interview and if a particular muscle group needs extra care she will make sure it gets it. She is always thorough and attentive. I am happy to see her when I arrive and always leave feeling like a million bucks.

fantastic masseuse Posted by vickietatum

I have been getting massages here in Austin for many years. A few years ago I was fortunate enough to get one from Alexa Gilmore when she was a student at the Lauterstein Conway School. Since then I have been a devoted client, & I recommend her services without reservation. She is a consummate professional as well as a delightful person.

Pros: central city location, easy access, plenty of parking

Cons: none

Fabulous Massage Therapist. Make an appointment today!!! Posted by revbrian

Alexa is not only a great therapist, very knowledgeable, intuitive, professional, but also a great person and for me that makes all the difference. She makes a genuine effort to find out not only what's going on with my body, but to understand something of what is going on in my life because, as she has shown me, the two are ALWAYS closely related. She is a kind and respectful person, very organized and at the same time very accommodating. Her e-newsletter is extremely informative and interesting. As a professional caregiver myself, I am grateful for Alexa because in working with me she reminds me of how important it is to care for and honor my own body. If you haven't done so already, call her today and set up an appointment!! You won't regret it!!!

Very professional experienced masseuse. Posted by macrbg

I have a regular appointment on average every other week, for 90 minutes; So clearly I maybe biased, however I do highly recommend taking your first (or trying a new) professional massage With Alexa. One of the first things that struck me is the attention to detail. On my first visit a very complete history was taken, and before each session we discuss the current issue(s) that need to be addressed (and Alexa take notes..). Alexa works on the area that is giving me a problem, trying different techniques and approaches in order to address the issue. I have also had instances where a 'emergency' session was needed and Alexa was flexible and accommodating to fit me in. I've been to several individual therapist and the large spars in Austin and by far Alexa provides the best professional tailored treatment in Austin.

Pros: Attention to detail, professional, best in austin.

Cons: You want to visit every day :)
