A wonderful, easy, close to spa experience. The therapists are friendly and interested in giving you the best massage for your needs. I’d also try a facial at Glo! You won’t be disappointed... Tae is the best!read more

I have been going to Chrissy for the last several months after becoming a new mom. She is AMAZING! Between toting the car seat, holding the baby, feedings- it all takes a huge toll on a mom’s neck, hips and back. I’ve seen Dr. D for a few years and finally decided I needed to take this whole “self care” thing seriously. Otherwise, I feel terrible and that’s not helpful in taking care of my baby. I’ve had massages at a dozen or so places around Hartford, West Hartford and locally here in Glastonbury. AFH is clean, calming and a welcoming, quiet place for a massage. Chrissy is phenomenal- she’s great at reading where I need the most treatment, uses the perfect amount of pressure, has a warm and calming personality- I cannot recommend her enough. You will not be disappointed!read more

I have been going to Alternative 4 Health for many years. I go every 2 weeks for a 30 minute massage and then an adjustment by Dr. D. I cannot say enough great things about my massages. I look forward to them. I feel like a new person after them. Dr. D comments on how loose my spine feels when he adjusts me. He can always tell when I have not had an massage. It is the one thing I allow myself to indulge in. It not only makes me feel better physically it's great for my mental well being. I can't imagine ever stopping having them. If you haven't check them out yet, I don't know what you are waiting for the girls are great Massage Therapists!read more

Superior massage with Niko. She does a great firm massage and found so many knots on my back and legs. I feel like a million bucks! At $70 for an hour, a very reasonable rate. Would definitely come back.read more

An amazing experience. I was greeted warmly, and felt at home the moment I arrived. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Chrissy was absolutely amazing. A true professional with a warm and welcoming personality. After not having had a massage in quite some time, she quickly set me at ease. I have always been a talker during massages, however I truly felt a sense of relaxation, rendering me...well...speechless. I am so happy that I met Chrissy and found Alternatives 4 health. I cannot wait for my next appointment!read more

Very professional staff and lovely office. Getting a therapeutic massage is great for my tight neck, but it also relaxes me and helps with stress relief. It can sometimes be difficult to set aside time for myself, but when I leave Alternatives 4 Health I'm always glad that I didread more

I had never had a massage and wasn't sure what to expect, but I was convinced by a friend with neck/spine issues similar to my own, that the best way to fix my vertebrae was to do massage in conjunction with the chiropractic care that i was receiving. I contacted Alternatives 4 Health and inquired about deep tissue massage. They had just hired "Chrissy" and I started with a 30 minute session. I was immediately impressed and signed up for a package of 12 one-hour sessions. I have been through 5 sessions to-date and I have never felt better - Chrissy is phenomenal. In fact, I am convinced beyond any doubt that the massages are accelerating the correction of my neck and spine problems, which have been many years in the making. It is critical to a spinal adjustment and correction that the muscles surrounding and protecting the vertebrae be reshaped to properly support and enhance the adjustment. I have told family and friends that they have to experience a massage from Chrissy, if for nothing else than to feel good and put their skeleton back in shape. My promise to them is that if they don't feel 100% better after that massage, i will pay for it.read more

I have been going to Alternatives 4 Health for a few years now and it is so beneficial to my overall well being. All the therapists are very professional, knowledgeable and do a fantastic job. I have been to see all 3 (Lucy, Lauren and Krista) but primarily I see Krista. Each have their own style/method but all 3 are amazing at their craft. Krista is fantastic and does such a great job getting me right again. Depending on the day and what is ailing me she tailors her massage to my needs and gives my muscles, tendons and ligaments the attention they need to get my body feeling better again. I would highly recommend Alternatives 4 Health to anyone and everyone!read more
