Tina's an amazing massage therapist - by far the best I've ever experienced. I feel amazing after each session with her. For years, I've endured chronic back pain due to an old injury and I've seen many specialists throughout the U.S. but none of them have been able to help me like Tina has. Thanks to Tina, the quality of my life has improved greatly! I notice long term progress and improvement with each visit. If you're looking for highly specialized pain management therapist in Tallahassee,... FL, I strongly recommended setting up an appointment today with Tina from Tongen Touch massage. You'll be glad you did!read more

I have been seeing Tina for prenatal massage therapy and would highly recommend her. Tina is a wonderful and professional masseuse who takes the time to provide personalized care. She is very attentive to her clients’ specific concerns and receptive to feedback. She creates a serene environment that allows for total relaxation. Thank you, Tina!

My husband recommended Tina for my pregnancy pain. I was not sure if It was going to help being this far along ( 8 months) but I left with zero pain in my body. She is very calm and tries to make sure she spends time on exactly what you need and want.

Tina is amazing!! Her technical skills are off the chart. She is unbelievable at relieving muscular tension and soreness. But perhaps more importantly, she is profoundly intuitive. She observes how your body reacts to each movement, and then focuses in on areas that you might not even have known were a problem. I regained a range of motion in my neck and back that I had not even realized that I had lost. And throughout, her approach is very spiritual and empathetic. I walk out feeling better... about myself each time!read more

Great massage and experience! It was obvious Tina understood what my body needed, mentally and physically. She gave me awesome advice to help relieve some of my tension and used her magic to help relieve it herself. I feel so refreshed and already can tell I am feeling more positive and relaxed. It’s amazing what pain and tension relief can do:) Thanks Tina!

Tina’s attention to your holistic needs is unmatched. She uses her skills, intuition, and guidance to give you the best possible experience and outcome. It is so much more than a massage - it’s a whole mind-body experience!

Tina is very knowledgeable & professional. My neck pain greatly decreased after one session. If you sit in front of a computer all day, I recommend you see Tina for neck & back pain relief.

Tina was wonderful to work with. Very professional and knowledgeable. She even followed up with me to see how I was doing afterwards. I’ll definitely be booking another appointment with her.

I really can’t say enough how impressed I am with Tina. I purchased the 5 90 min massage plan after my first visit. This is not a regular massage. It is an experience. Tina really knows the human body and how to get the most out of your time with her. I would encourage anyone looking for a real stress reliever to give her a try. You will not regret it!

I am so happy that Tina moved back to Tallahassee. She has so much knowledge & passion for massage therapy! Her many years of experience and continued love to learn is evident through her healing touch. I have neck, back & hip pain that have been aggravating me for years. She showed me stretches that have been helpful for in between sessions & after a wonderful 90 minutes session, I left feeling so much better. The immediate pain & stress relief helped me leave feeling relax, yet energized.

Tina is a therapist unlike other that I’ve experienced. She used many modalities all in one appt so it was very comprehensive. There was some traditional “rubbing” like you get in a typical massage but she also moved my body in different ways like swiveling my neck around, and she also got onto the massage table and used her knees and feet on my legs and glutes. She was able to change pressures easily based on what I asked for. It was great. Thanks Tina!

This was my first therapy session and it was a wonderful first experience for me. Tina made me feel comfortable, she took time before the session to explain how it works and what to expect. She has a very calming voice and her massaging technique is very good. She was able to sooth out the tight muscles in my back and it relieved a lot of the stress I had. Tina was a great massage therapist and Im happy I chose her for when getting my first massage 😊

Tina is great! The massage I got was so amazing and I felt super relaxed after. Not only was the stress relief great, but she did awesome at soothing my tight muscles. I didn’t know how much I needed a massage until I was laying on that table. If you’re in the Tallahassee area looking for a masseuse, Tina is the person to go to!!
