Kevin is awesome. I came in with a pretty severe case of a pinched nerve in my neck from jiu jitsu training. It was effecting my muscle strength and overall mood. I believed the issue was muscular, and not skeletal. After 1 session with Kevin I noticed a more than %50 decrease in pain and discomfort, and as time passed, it only got better. Kevin’s set up is relaxing, inviting and Kevin is a stellar dude. Oh, and he’s got a sweet array of complimentary snacks and drinks for after the session, I went with the protein and water with electrolytes. Score! Worth every penny. Thanks Kevin!

I came in for a 90 min appointment Deep tissue Massage with Kevin. My massage was amazing. Great pressure, great technique, and hot towels! Kevin is wonderful. I came in with neck muscle aches and shoulder issues and his technique and deep tissue massage made all the difference.

I like heavy deep pressure for my massages and Kevin did not disappoint! I have been coming to Kevin for over a year and I think he’s the best. I send all my friends and my families to Kevin. I offer my highest recommendation, Thanks Kevin

This was my first experience with a professional massage and it was an amazing first impression! Kevin was very clear with what would be happening and his communication during the massage was excellent. He would check it the pressure applied was okay and ensure my comfort throughout the session. I have crazy knots in my quads and hamstrings and he worked through it quite a bit. I felt immediate improvement after the session and will definitely be coming back for continued work. Would HIGHLY recommend.

If you want a truly effective deep tissue trigger point massage, do not hesitate to come to Kevin. In two sessions he’s alleviated pain I’ve had since last summer. His prices are so reasonable for the level of skill and treatment you get. Kevin himself is very professional and just super nice. He really listens to what you need. I have been places where I tell them where it hurts and what I’m hoping to get out of the experience (a deep tissue, pain relieving massage) and end up getting the typical full body spa massage…even places where they claim to do deep tissue. Kevin is the first therapist not to disappoint. I will probably never go anywhere else.

Kevin is by far, THE most knowledgeable massage therapist I've ever worked with. His technique is top-tier and I'm a big fan of deep tissue and trigger point therapy. I can't speak highly enough about The Muscle Retreat! **I love cupping and hot stones as well which are just a couple of the add-ons to choose from. 🙌 …

I have been coming over and getting massages here for the last 4 years getting one about every 6 weeks. I have had a great experience, Kevin really listens to what you have going on and will address it. I am a physical therapist and knew I needed to take care of my body in order to take care of others. Kevin at Muscle Retreat provides the best care and really makes me feel the tension leave. I am sadly moving but one thing that kept coming to my mind was I will loss Kevin as my massage therapist.

Kevin was absolutely amazing! I’ve been to quite a few massage therapists and though it’s amazing at times to have a “spa” type feel to your appointment, I was definitely looking for help for my chronic shoulder pain. He released sooo many tight muscles and knots that I didn’t even knew existed! Crazy! Not only was he respectful and professional, but he was also just an incredible person to talk too! Super satisfied with my appointment, my pain has already relieved so much! Only been 24hrs! Will be returning!:)

Kevin was awesome. Very professional and wanted to make sure he was massaging the area of most concern. He made sure the pressure was comfortable for me even during a deep tissue massage, which are never comfortable, especially when you have muscle tightness. He is an amazing veteran as well. I will be going to Kevin for all of my future muscle loosening needs.

Incredible massage. Kevin was able to pinpoint exact spots that needed extra attention and i left feeling like a load had been lifted from my muscles. Already booked my next one! Probably helpful to know that there is no receptionist, but there is a waiting area. No receptionist (extra overhead) likely helps keep the cost of massages down, so no complaints here!

As a person who works all day on their feet, I was desperately needing something to bring relief to my lower back. I didn't know where to start or where to go. I wasn't sure if I need to see a chiropractor, physical therapist, a medical doctor? A friend of mine recommended The Muscle Retreat. So, I decided to check them out and see if they could help me. I have been going to the Muscle Retreat for the past couple of months and I couldn't recommend them enough! It's conveniently located in the heart of Boise with ample parking. So far, I have had three sessions with three separate massage therapist. My first massage was a Thai Massage with Jon. I had never had a Thai massage before so I didn't know what to expect. Dressed in comfortable, loose fitting clothing, Thai massage is performed on a memory foam mat on the floor. This massage incorporates a lot of stretching along with massage. This was a great experience. I would recommend this to anyone new to getting massages. Medium pressure, great stretching, brought relief to my tight hamstrings and lower back. Jon was very knowledgeable, great personality and has a fantastic touch. My second session was a deep tissue massage with Ramon. Ramon has a beautiful touch. Not too heavy, not too soft. Ramon made me feel very comfortable and relaxed and has a methodical approach to his massages. I would recommend Ramon to anyone who is looking for a good, all-around massage. The perfect balance. My third session was a deep tissue massage with Kevin. Kevin has a very powerful touch. Kevin encourages open communication throughout the session. More pressure, less pressure, etc. He spent majority of the time on my back, lower back, glutes and hamstring. This session relieved all the pain and tension I was experiencing in my lower back. This was a very intense session. Kevin has very powerful hands that work wonders. He was able to really get into my lower back and work those tensed up muscles. I would recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a deep and intense massage experience. I encourage anyone to visit The Muscle Retreat and explore the different styles of massage therapy that they offer.

Many thoughtful touches create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere at the Muscle Retreat. Kevin was willing to tailor my massage session in any way I wanted and I highly recommend his trigger point therapy. It's intense, but he was able to release tension in some of mymuscles that other therapist haven't been able to do.

Excellent deep tissue and trigger point massage by Kevin. He is super knowledgeable about body mechanics and physiology. One of the best massages I have ever had. Dont hesitate to book, your body will thank you. The hot peppermint towel at the end was super unique and great! 10/10.

Very comfortable and relaxing setting. Kevin was very friendly and communicated clearly on the type of massage and areas of concern. Will be returning for all my future massages and referring him to family and friends.

Let me start off by saying that I have not been a fan of massages. It always felt like I was paying big money for a flimsy pat down. That said, as a disabled veteran I have been suffering many years from muscle issues and lower back pain. My physical therapist has told me repeatedly that I would most likely benefit from message therapy, but because of past experiences I was skeptical. Recently I had a day where I was in a particularly high level of pain. Kevin was able to adjust his personal schedule and get me in to see him. Much to my amazement he was able to quickly locate my trouble areas and went to work. I was shocked at the skill, training, and passion he has for his craft. Putting the therapy into message therapy he wasn't just working to make me feel better, he was working to repair my body and relieve me of chronic pain. I highly recommend him to anyone suffering from pain, or who wants a talented and top notch trained masseuse!

I have done the traditional deep tissue massages and have ended up sick afterwards. Kevin is very professional and keeps up with his training. I do not end up sick having trigger point therapy. I highly recommend The Muscle Retreat and Kevin!

Went to see Kevin for an hour massage that was my birthday gift. My friend and I had bought each other massages for our birthdays and scheduled them back to back. We both agreed that they were the best massages we had ever had. I do a lot of lifting at my job and my muscles are always tight. Kevin found tension I didn't even know I had. Needless to say, we both scheduled our next appts. before we left....can't wait !

Kevin is amazing! I have sent many friends and co-workers to him and they all rave about how skilled and professional he is along with his communication about pressure and ability to really work out tension in their muscles.

I've only seen Kevin, and I am very impressed! He is very knowledge of deep tissue/trigger point therapy which is exactly the type of massage I find most valuable. He is dynamic and ensures that his clients are comfortable.

I have a ton of experience with massage therapy. And I am really impressed with the Thai massage I had from Jo. Jo is incredibly knowledgeable about the muscles, and I gleaned so much practical information from him. He is professional, but has a great disposition that put me immediately at ease. I would recommend him to anyone. You will not regret having him as your masseuse!!! So happy to have found a keeper. Jo--thank you for helping me stretch and release some very resistant knots! I am so appreciative!!
