Lauren is the best. She is able to find my pain spots, some that I am not even aware of, and work on them with the perfect amount of pressure. Her and Olivia both are super attentive when listening to what and where your aches are and I highly recommend either of them.

Massage Therapy · Belltown, Seattle · Open 7 Days
Massage therapy in Seattle for pain, recovery, and relaxation.
Licensed massage therapists in Belltown treating pain, injury, tension and stress. Book online seven days a week. PIP, L&I, and VA claims billed directly; Superbills for other plans.

Medical massage, and the restful kind too.
Our team of experienced licensed massage therapists practices clinical massage: treatment planned around a specific problem rather than a set routine. Much of our week is medical massage for soft tissue injury, chronic pain, headaches, and recovery after a car accident or surgery, alongside relaxation work for everyday tension and stress.
Whether you arrive with a diagnosis and a referral or just something that has hurt for months, we start the same way: working out what is actually going on, and treating that.
Book AppointmentOur approach
Massage therapy for every situation.
Every therapist here has worked in clinical settings. We treat musculoskeletal pain by working out what is driving it, then treating that — and the relaxing kind of massage is on the menu too.
Conditions we treat
- Neck and back pain
- Headaches & migraine
- Rotator cuff & tendonitis
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
- Carpal tunnel & nerve pain
- Sciatica & low back pain
- Whiplash & car accident injury
- Sports, overuse & plantar fasciitis
- Jaw pain & TMJ
- Post-mastectomy breast work
- Scar tissue from an old injury

I have seen Alison Post for years for a neck injury from a car accident as well as for work related stresses and injuries. I have seen many massage therapist over the decades since the car accident and Alison has been one of the best I have seen with particularly good technique for my chronic neck condition, alleviating pain. A bonus that she has been becoming a skilled hair designer and colorist. I, now, make a point of scheduling with Alison for both hair and massage.

Olivia is an extremely skilled practitioner. I’m a massage therapist myself, and I can say with authority she’s one of the best in the city. She’s warm, kind, and professional. She has enthusiasm for massage work and knows how to make changes to bodies with a touch that’s gentle but effective. I enjoyed my session with her immensely. I also really like the clinic she works out of— it’s modern, clean, has cold filtered water available, and the front desk staff was helpful and friendly. And I found easy street parking in the same block (only cost a couple bucks). Highly recommend!

I had a fantastic massage experience with Lauren Herring. She applied just the right amount of pressure—not too intense to cause discomfort, but firm enough to bring real relief. I didn’t have to give much direction—she intuitively found the trigger points and focused on them with care. She wasn’t in a rush and took the time to isolate and work on each muscle group. I also mentioned some tension in my jaw, and she addressed it with great skill, providing noticeable relief. Highly recommend!
Got one of the best massages that was targeted to my issues. Felt cared for and comfortable in the space!

After visiting Maxwell Chiropractic for a shoulder injury, I learned they also offer massages. I was lucky enough to meet Olivia who plays a significant role in my recovery and overall health. She has a great touch and really listens to each concern tailoring each session to fit that day’s needs. Scheduling can be tricky, so I suggest booking in advance. You won’t regret visiting Maxwell as all their staff are amazing.

I really enjoyed my massage therapy appointment with Olivia and will be going back for further treatment! This was my first experience with any kind of professional massage and I was a little nervous, but it ended up being very enjoyable! Olivia was great! She made it easy to communicate my needs, explained what she was doing well, and was happy to answer all of my questions. Also, every time I've communicated with the person at the front desk either over email, phone, or in person it's been an enjoyable and easy experience.
Olivia is a caring and thoughtful LMT. She listens to your issues and works hard to address them with her knowledge of muscles and tissue connections. She puts her whole self into her work, which I admire and definitely benefit from. No hesitation to recommend Olivia.

I always trust Lauren to listen to suggestions and needs and then to fulfill them. I'm able to leave with my body feeling more balanced, integrated and relaxed. She is the most intuitive masseuse I've ever had.

I had an incredible massage with Lauren! I am a hairstylist and weightlifter and I was having nerve pain lasting for weeks and no stretches or nerve glides were helping. I came for a massage and immediately she got to the root of my issues! 2 days later and my pain is almost completely gone!

I can't say enough positive things about the massage treatment I have been receiving from Maxwell after getting injured in a car accident. The front desk staff is incredibly nice and very accommodating. My massage therapist Lauren is also absolutely amazing! She is great at identifying and addressing problem areas without having to verbally identify them. Lauren is so awesome that I hesitate to even mention her name because I don't want it to become hard to get an appointment with her, haha. I definitely plan to continue seeing Lauren for therapeutic massages after my accident injuries have been addressed as I can't imagine going to anyone else :)

Caring and consistently professional treatment. Lauren is always looking for ways to increase the efficacy of her approach through new muscular manipulations and supplemental exercises. A great MT to work with.

Joey Babauta, LMT, is an excellent massage therapist. Even better, he listens to his client to 'hear' the non-physical problems, so he can address those too. He has a holistic approach to massage therapy. Heartily recommend!

I had a massage with Allison and she was amazing! So kind, the massage was amazing, and she really listened to what I wanted to get out of the massage + took that into account.

The booking process was quick and smooth - Tobin runs bookings and is very responsive, kind, accommodating, and absolutely on it. The facility is clean and relaxing.

My husband and I both had an incredible experience there. The massages were truly therapeutic, honing in on our specific, individual needs. The staff is very professional and we were so happy to have chosen Maxwell Massage. We both highly recommended it.

I always have a great experience at Maxwell Chiropractic and massage. The front desk staff is always friendly and helpful, and they offer you some cold water to drink when you walk in, which is nice. My massage was fantastic! I'm not usually a fan of driving downtown, but it is worth it to go to Maxwell.
— J.T. via Google
Olivia was communicative, informative, and provided the best massage ever. I look forward to working with her more in the future and will be referring anyone who asks.

I was pretty stiff and tight. Not only did I receive a massage and but a gentle bend of each joint to loosen them up. We also talked about ways to keep me loose and provide some balance.

My experience with Joey is consistently exactly what I need in that moment. I can come in tense, anxious, at peace or tired and he matches (or perhaps counters) my energy. Because I’m highly sensitive, environment and mindset are important to me. He’s firm when my muscles ache, and gentler when the ache is with my thinking. His healing touch eases my body and my mind.
Olivia is a great! Listens to issues with my body and addresses them. Always feel great after!
— D.M. via Google
I give it 5 star for my first visit. The place is pretty calming. The people working are very welcoming from the receptionists, therapist everyone. Lastly the service are great, I feel relaxed a little bit cause I know I need more sessions like that to get better.

I’m also a massage therapist, but I don’t take care of myself in a way that I recommend to others. She was a very focused and professional therapist who communicated well and challenged some areas that were clearly uncomfortable and outside my comfort zone. However, she was able to understand my sensitivity and know when and how long to hold the pressure, so it never became painful. She’s a really good person, and I would definitely look forward to our next massage.
