"My husband and I are avid cyclists and find the quality of massage at Redwood Massage and Sauna highly beneficial to relieving muscle soreness and associated aliments resulting from long distance cycling. I appreciate the comfortable, non-pretentious atmosphere and staff. I especially appreciate the massage therapists' attention to my specific needs; never have I received a generic 'one size fits all' spa massage."
