What Our Clients Say
I cannot say enough good things about Gail and the staff at Massage Therapy Group. I have been seeing Gail for over a year and it doesn’t matter what ailment or injury I come into my session with, she always has an answer and finds THE SPOT or spots that need to be worked on. And as a physical therapist I have sent many of my patients to the many therapists that work here and not one has been disappointed and they make my job easier. Thank you so much for your amazing work and expertise!!
-Holly Navarro
Highly recommend – my regular therapist is Erica and she is excellent! I developed trigger points in my calf 2.5 weeks before running my first marathon and starting seeing Erica for sports therapy massages. She’s extremely patient and knowledgeable, and was able to get me back to pain-free running in time to complete my race.
-Kelly McCurry
I confess, I’m a bit reluctant to write this review. Massage Therapy Group is a hidden gem located in Whitehouse Station. Selfishly, I’d like to keep it a secret. My massage with Gail is one of the best I’ve ever had. Her knowledge of trigger point release was extensive. I especially love the work she did with my shoulders, neck, and upper back.
-Lorraine Herr
The best massage I have ever had. Exactly what I have been searching for in every spa, every massage/chain I have ever visited, that has always failed to deliver. But not this place. This place delivers true massage therapy.
-Natalie Rodriguez
I am so thankful I found Massage Therapy Group! I have been struggling for years with neck pain and headaches, and both therapists I have seen so far have been tremendously helpful in relieving some of that pain. I look forward to many more appointments with these highly-skilled women!
-Catherine Thomas
Best place to have a massage. Staff is friendly and welcoming – and Gail is the best – I walked in with a lot of pain on my lower back – Gail spent some extra time working on that area. I left feeling a little better but as the evening progressed, my lower back felt better and better. In the morning the pain was gone. Thank you Gail!
-Christina Johnson
I have been going to this place since the doors opened decades ago. Even after moving a good distance away, I travel back for treatment. This is way more than a feel good spa massage. I come with injuries both before and after surgery.
-Debora Sims
I have been going to Erika for over a year for chronic back pain. At its worst, the pain causes my back to spasm and wakes me up in the middle of the night. So far, PT + massage are the only things that have helped me keep the pain at bay. PT helps me keep that area strong enough to avoid the spasms and massages help keep the area relaxed. Erika knows exactly how to target “the spot” for almost immediately relief and I would hands down recommend her to anybody who is looking for the same individualized attention. She’s the best!
-Kelly Lemenze
Yesterday was my first time at Massage Therapy Group, and I had an amazing 60 minute massage with Grace. She read my intake form prior to meeting with me so that she was aware of what I was looking for which was some relaxation but focus on my neck where I have a prior injury and aggravation from working at the computer. She quickly identified where I needed additional work as well (tight hips from carrying my little girl!). The massage Grace gave me was exactly what was needed and what I wish massages were like all the time! Grace is so friendly and professional, and highly knowledgeable and skilled. She doesn’t just give the “fluff” massage you get at so many other places even after asking for therapeutic massage. I have found my new massage therapist! I have already booked my next massage with Grace and can’t wait. Thank you Grace and Massage Therapy Group!
Update 27-Dec-2022:
Since my initial review I’ve had a second massage with Grace which was fantastic and also a massage with Gail. I have truly found the place I have been perpetually looking for! This place means business when it comes to massage therapy. Many places offer massages, but this place offers true “therapy”. Between Gail and Grace I have found my forever place. I am booking massages every 2-3 weeks until my body understands who is boss again, and after that will maintain with therapy sessions every 4-6 weeks. While it is relaxing to sit in a fancy spa in a robe sipping tea, the type of techniques and personalized therapy offered by Massage Therapy Group is much more valuable as customers receive true and long lasting health and healing. Health and quality of life mean everything!
-Stephanie Turri Lockman
This is where you go for a truly therapeutic massage. I really appreciate my very knowledgeable therapist, Gail, and how she handled my complex neck and cranky shoulder issues with refined expertise.
-Gabriella Swartwood
had my first massage here and it was GREAT. Erika was such a sweet lady and took into consideration that it was my first one, she was gental and making sure I was still doing okay. I had gotten a sports massage and had major IT pain, she found a knot in my leg and got it out. It was so awesome. I will be going back.
-Karissa Luca
I rarely write reviews but just needed to share how much my 2 sessions with Gail helped my shoulder/upper back pain. Having been to an orthopedic doctor months prior with minimal results, I decided to see if Gail would be able to help. I am beyond thrilled with how much Gail’s Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) Massage helped me. Gail is so very professional and most definitely skilled. She was able to very quickly understand my situation and address my problem area with success beyond belief! Prior to seeing Gail, I just figured I would have to deal with the pain and lack of shoulder and arm mobility which was definitely affecting my daily life. I have had massages over the years, as a means to relax and enjoy; but, this massage went way beyond. I should have gone sooner. I definitely believe that NMT was at the root of my recovery above the 4 daily Aleve and exercises. While I hope not to have to return for another ailment, I won’t think twice about scheduling an appointment with Gail.
-LiLi NoNo
Today I had a therapeutic massage with Kalina..she is soo amazing. She listened patiently to all my aches & pains & addressed them professionally explaining what she was doing & always checking my comfort level. I walked out (not limping anymore) & felt so much relief! I highly recommend her services ..she is the best!! 💜💜
-Nancy Richardson
Wonderful, comfortable setting. Erika is an amazing Masseuse. Very talented. I came in with a terrible migraine that I couldn’t get rid of. Erika was able to work out the source. Effective technique while keeping me relaxed.
-Sandy Howland
Have been going to see Kalina for massage therapy for an Achilles Tendonitis/Plantar Fasciitis issue. Her massage therapy helps to relax my tight muscles, and I leave feeling so good! Can’t wait until my next session!
-Tracy Craddock
Massage Therapy Group has never let me down! I’m always happy to go back for a session with any of these wonderful, skilled therapists. ♥️
-CHER da Costa
Erika did an incredible job getting all of the knots out of my back. I was so relaxed afterwards I slept for 10+ hours and I typically have trouble falling asleep. Thank you Erika!
-stew
Massage Therepy Group is the place to go. Whether you are in need of a stress relief massage or full blown therapy they do it all. They even give you tips for at home. Chose Massage Therapy Group for all of your massage needs.
-cathy karlsen
I had a great post-run massage by Erika today. Very relaxing atmosphere and professional people. I will definitely be back!
-jenny booth
Gail is amazing! I have hand to go to her several times for tingling in my fingers, and she works it out! Love this Group!!!
-Maureen Treich
very experienced therapists. relaxing environment. friendly, comfortable, and therapeutic.

I’m a runner and felt super relaxed and stretched when I left. Highly recommend!

Best orthopedic massage focusing on specific injuries/concerns for pain relief. Highly recommend!
-Samantha Hutchinson
I’ve been a regular client for 9 years. There’s a reason for that.
-Bill Ihling
Great for treating muscle pain caused by overuse and repetitive stress injuries.
-Aruna Mohan
Great experience with a very professional team of massage therapists! Grace is among the best I’ve ever worked with. Very professional and customizes her work to the client’s needs! Highly recommend 👍
-thomas alesi
Great service and professional massage that helped ease the pain I had in my shoulder! Looking forward for my next visit.
-reham ali
Deep tissue and pain relief help life quality so much. Massage Therapy Group is fantastic.
-mark bradeis
I have been a client of Massage Therapy for years and I always leave feeling so much better than when I arrived. They help relieve stressed areas of my body so I can move without pain when I leave.
-Lee Matyola
Extremely knowledgeable, thorough, experienced and caring. Gail has healed several chronic issues in only a few sessions. Highly recommended.
-Judy Minot
This is the place to go if you have any kind of persistent pain. They are super educated and professional and can give you a relieving therapeutic massage. Gail really knew where to work on my shoulder pain. Also great if you need a regular massage too!!
-Pat O’Brien
Gail Kinsey was highly recommended to me by a former massage therapist due to her skills in NeuroMuscular Massage, for relief of my constant neck pain. Up to this point, chiropractic and massage therapy did not provide the results I sought. Gail took her time skillfully assessing my condition and level of comfort throughout the session. I noticed considerable improvement after my session which continued as the day wore on. That evening I was able to sleep on my side, pain free! As a bonus, my massage loosened up my shoulder which I mistakenly thought ached due to a slight tear. I never imagined that I could be so pain free again!
-Maria Stender
I have been in pain for almost a year now. I have tried everything. Chiropractor, orthopedic, acupuncture, cupping, neurologist, and other massage places, with no help. At physical therapy they recommended this place and I am so happy that I made an appointment. Erika has been loosening my backs and hips with just two visits!! I think i have finally found the right people to help me. I am looking forward to my next appointment and finally feeling better!
-Janine Chebuske
Understanding that I was coming as a first time client with foot issues, Gail knew exactly which therapist to put me with. Because of that, I am experiencing much success with Orthopedic Therapy from Associate Therapist, Grace Parker. I wish I had this type of physical therapy when I had finished my 2 foot surgeries. I would’ve been 100% recovered by now, but I wasted my time at Hunterdon Medical physical therapy in Whitehouse on Route 22. I highly recommend Massage Therapy Group. They know what they’re doing! I highly recommend.
Trisha Swift Mahoney, Tewksbury Township.
-MOM
Erika is amazing with lymphatic massage. I had a knee replacement with ALOT of edema/swelling. After every appointment, my PT and I saw significant improvement. Helping to reduce swelling allowed me to get the flexion back in my knee. I highly recommend her.
-Elisa Logan
I have been seeing Gail for a couple of years and she is, by far, the best massage therapist I have ever seen. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the human body and knows exactly what muscles to focus on to alleviate pain. I had originally seen her for lower back pain which was greatly relieved by her massages. This year, however, I have started having sinus issues and terrible ringing in my ear. I visited many ENT doctors and found no relief. After one 90 min session with Gail my sinuses completely cleared up and my ear stopped ringing. It was literally like a miracle. I can not recommend her enough. Not only is a she a great masseuse but I thoroughly enjoy our chats during my visit. She’s truly the best. Her space is warm, comfortable, clean and invited. So relaxing and peaceful.
-Jeanette Mulvey
Having pulled my lower back out after months of stretching and self care truly bummed me out. Having just opened a biz. and dealing with that stress, I was a mess and in need of help. I was looking for a basic massage and ended up searching on line for help, I called and spoke with Gail and was set up for next day appt. Thinking I was just getting ” a basic massage”, I was elated to get Gails hands and expertise! She worked my back like I have never experienced and was able to get out of bed the next day with ease. I would HIGHLY recommend this business, especially Gail.
I’d like to add, I have been a massage therapist and consider myself a good judge of professional and exceptional massage. This place is just that! Treat yourself soon.
-Kris Fanelli
I had my first prenatal massage with Erika this morning and it was absolutely incredible! She was so sweet and made me feel very comfortable. I have been to so many “franchised massage salons” in the past where everyone gets the standard massage and nothing rivals the care and attention Erika provided to me. Hands down the best massage I’ve ever received! Beyond happy to add to the list of 5 star reviews here!
-Shannon Slate
When I first started with Massage Therapy Group I could barely move in the mornings my hips were so tight. After several sessions what an improvement. Now I go regularly to never have an issue like this again. Truly Life changing for me.
-Micheline Lewis
I saw Gail speak at Clinton Library last year, and had referred my husband to Massage Therapy Group for an ongoing shoulder/back issue that he wasn’t seeing much improvement on from his visits to one of the chain massage locations.. (he was also doing physical therapy). He paid back the favor by getting me a gift cert recently so I could try it out myself. It was my first massage in well over a year, and being a runner and someone who works at a computer desk all day, I definitely needed it! Erika was wonderful – I felt great afterward, my shoulders hadn’t felt that good in a long time! My husband feels you get a more individualized treatment, compared to some of the chains where it can become sort of generic/just going through the motions. Not that there’s ever a ‘bad’ massage, but the extra care and attention to detail at Massage Therapy Group is noticeable and I look forward to continued service and finding some relief for my own muscle issues. Thanks much!
-Erika Rogers
This was by far the best massage I’ve ever had. I’ve suffered from chronic pain for several years in my neck, back, shoulder and Gail found all the trigger points and helped to alleviate my pain. I highly recommend her!
-Douglas Teixeira
Ileana and Denise are wonderful! This is where you go when you seek relief from pain and are seeking a therapeutic remedy….. it is not a ‘spa’. These therapists are incredible and extremely knowledgeable. They will consult with you and TRULY listen prior to beginning your massage in an effort to truly understand your issues and target your problem areas. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go here.
-Carrie Martinelli
Gail’s healing hands did the trick! I’m a long-time chronic Lyme sufferer and recently had a horrible flare up. The pain in my head, neck and shoulders was debilitating and I needed help, fast! I called Gail and was fortunate enough to be able to see her the same day due to some cancellations. This was my first time there but definitely won’t be my last. It’s been 3 days now since my massage and I feel SOOOOO much better. Gail really listened to my concerns and complaints and seemed genuinely interested in helping me. She was patient and precise in delivering a rejuvenating and healing massage like a pro. Definitely the most expensive massage I’ve ever treated myself to, but worth every penny. I’ve learned after having to deal with this disease for so many years that you can’t put a price on your health. Without it, you can’t be you. Thank you Gail!
-Diane Koscinski
The masseuses in this place are interested in your health and well-being and provide an experience that is second to none.
Expert staff, relaxing rooms, and adequate amenities.
I have always had an excellent experience soooo worth it.
I go for trigger point release, sciatica /bursitis issues, and tense neck and shoulder, and knee.
As a dog trainer, a large part of my work is in front of a computer all week for record-keeping-related tasks so these sessions help with body aches and pains.
I think everyone should try a therapeutic massage. you will be amazed at what can change in your life.
-Canine Partnership Dog Training Lisa Pattison
As a long time client of Massage Therapy Group, I have been massaged by Gail, Rachel, and, most recently, Kalina. These therapists are all top notch professionals, always displaying good listening skills, outstanding knowledge of the body and excellent skills. Gail was instrumental in helping me overcome brachial plexus nerve damage 5 years ago, and to get back to a fully active life.
AT MTG, it is more than just massage as we share ideas and strategies on stress reduction and healthier/happier living. It is a chance to take a deep breath and think about finding balance in life.
Most recently, I have worked with Kalina and the results have been great. Gail, you did a great job teaching and training Kalina!
-Pat Barrett
Grace is amazing! Everyone there is amazing, but I have been seeing Grace. She has helped my partially torn rotator cuff pain to almost be no pain at all and she is helping my tight muscles! I see her once a week and plan on it for the rest of the year! Highly recommend!
-Briana Dimaggio
Therapy massage for my aching shoulder worked perfectly. Gail was amazing and in just a couple sessions the pain went away. I was impressed how meticulous she was able to be with each muscle. The shoulder is quite complicated and she explained what she was doing. So it was an educational experience as well Thank You!
-doug north
“Let me begin by saying that I am not a newbie to massage therapy. I have lots of experience in having massages, but have never had the level of satisfaction that I have experienced with my therapist at The Massage Therapy Group. I started my sessions as a precursor to surgery (double mastectomy). Knowing that I had some issues with demineralization in my neck, as well as prior shoulder surgery, I wanted to have my body as prepared as possible. It was my primary care physician who gave me The Massage Therapy Group’s information and I have ever grateful. I have been having sessions weekly and have found steady progress. The numbness in my left arm has ceased and I fell so very much prepared for the upcoming surgical event. I give my wholehearted recommendation to anyone considering massage therapy with Massage Therapy Group. “
-P.F. from Branchburg
“Take it from an aging athlete; my massage therapist is able to monitor any areas of concern and help me stay healthy. She has the ability to spot any trouble area as well as keep me active in general. The Massage Therapy Group’s an asset to any person who wants to be active as well as anyone who wants to reduce the stress in and on their body.”
-Eric, age 39
“As a runner who logs 50-60 miles a week when training for my annual spring marathon, I trust my therapist at The Massage Therapy Group to facilitate recovery and assist with active healing and rest. Regular deep tissue sports massages enhance my overall performance and contribute to my general health and wellbeing.”
-Alysia, age 40
“After suffering with fibromyalgia for years, my doctor recommended therapeutic massage to assist in my pain management. After a few months, I noticed significant reduction in my fibromyalgia pain, and also pain relief from earlier back surgery and ongoing spinal stenosis. It’s been 15 years since I started going to the Massage Therapy Group and I don’t know how I’d function without my monthly treatment. Thanks!”
-Tom G. of Neshanic Station
“About two years ago, I was experiencing pain in my lower back. This pain affected my sleep and daily living. My massage therapist at Massage Therapy Group, began treating me specifically for my complaints. She has worked on me weekly for the past two years. Today, my pain is gone! Occasionally I will have some discomfort, which my weekly massage therapy diminishes. I also regularly exercise now about three times a week.”
-Barbara of Whitehouse Station
“Through the Massage Therapy Group, I’ve been able to manage my pain, increase my flexibility and deal with stress better. The massage therapist was able to identify areas that were causing me discomfort and went right to work, with manipulation and hot stones to relax my sore muscles and stretching to restore the mobility I had been lacking. I strongly recommend The Massage Therapy Group to anyone who is looking for pain relief without drugs and a relaxing, invigorating, restorative experience.”
-JR of Lebanon NJ
“My job requires a great deal of lengthy travel in airplanes and sitting for long periods in uncomfortable chairs. Over 15 years ago my massage therapist at The Massage Therapy Group helped me recover from serious, chronic pain and inflexibility associated with my neck and shoulder. Since then I have found that seeing her regularly for “maintenance” helps prevent small issues from becoming big ones.”
-A grateful client, Clinton
“Gail is my massage therapist whom I would and do recommend often. There isn’t any fluff in her deep tissue techniques. If you have real aches, pains, tightness, nerve entrapment, as I do, then you want a real therapist. And Gail is as real as they get. Knowledgeable, thorough and results-oriented. I wouldn’t be swimming long distances without her assistance. And I also would never have learned where my supraspinatus was! I would also note that Gail is a real down-to-earth good soul of a person too!”
-G.C. age 57 Hunterdon County
“I started going to The Massage Therapy Group (MTG) when an MRI revealed at least a partial tear to two of my muscles that make up the rotator cuff. I couldn’t even hold a glass of orange juice in the morning without feeling that my arm would collapse. I had no left arm strength (my dominant arm). An orthopedic surgeon told me that my only chance for recovery was an operation which I did not want to do. I went to the MTG at my family doctor’s recommendation for this condition and through deep tissue massage and specific stretching, my massage therapist got me to a neutral state where I could resume light exercise to build my rotator cuff again. After about five months, I was able to play tennis again 3 times a week. I never did have the operation. Massage therapy has helped with other health issues and it’s worth doing just for a “feel good” massage. I’ve been going to the MTG for about ten years now and there’s a reason for that … they’re very good at what they do!”
-Rich from Branchburg says
