"I walked out of here feeling like Gumby, my friends - no small feat considering all the tension I'd built up in my back over a spring time of stress at work. Upon arriving, I filled out a quick waiver and intake form, noting what kind of massage I'd like (athletic! with PRESSURE.) and pinpointing on a diagram my most-needy body parts."

"I live close by, but would definitely commute to get here- it's so worth it. Whether to recover from a sore back, or to de-stress or pamper- GO! You won't regret it."

"I cant't say enough good things about the massages and the treatment I have gotten here...The atmosphere is soothing and calming as soon as you walk in the door, the staff are friendly and helpful, incredibly knowledgeable and great listeners"

"An extremely professional staff of massage therapists who totally understand their profession and the critical part they play in making us 'whole'."

"In my opinion, its the best place to get a massage in the Cambridge-Somerville area. Highly recommended."

"Sollievo is the only place I'll go now for acupuncture and massage. I've been there quite a bit this past year and the service and bodywork experience is excellent with every visit."

"From the beautiful decor, to the highly skilled and professional massage therapists, to the soothing atmosphere, this place is top notch! I would recommend it to anyone looking for quality massage and bodywork. Sollievo will make you feel at home."

"... highly skilled and sensitive hands not only found all of my sore spots, they also found the muscles responsible for the pain which were not always anywhere near the sore spots."

"... knowledge of anatomy and her uncanny ability to zero in were unbelievable. I left there in a new body."

"The Sollievo experience is NOT a treat but a necessity!"

"Going to Sollievo for massage therapy saved me during a period of intense stress in my life."
