My friend Tiffany introduced me to The NOW Massage at Plantation Walk, and honestly I have never looked back since.
They offer a few different varieties of massages including a stretch massage, healer massage, and the signature NOW massage. There are also many add-ons you can request such as gua sha, deep tissue cupping, hot stones, eye masks, and scalp massage.
I’ve received massages from a few different therapists at both their Fort Lauderdale location and the one here in Plantation, but what keeps me coming back to this Plantation Walk location is literally the best massage therapist on the planet — Ace. He is very popular among my friends and quite a few of us see him regularly. His understanding of the human body — muscles, ligaments, tendons — how to treat the body, how to stretch the body, and how to work out those pesky knots is honestly incredible. The man massages like it’s a work of art, which I truly think it is.
If I’ve been non-compliant with stretching after the gym, I can count on Ace to get me walking again. If my back and neck feel broken after stressful long shifts at work, I know I can count on him to help me regain mobility and stay pain-free.
If you ever want to treat yourself, you should absolutely come to this location. The front desk staff are very kind and welcoming. They offer still water as well as citrus-infused water. They also have a bunch of little knick-knacks and creams, aromatherapy items, candles, etc.
I used to belong to their membership, but I just can’t financially commit to it right now. If I could, I would totally get the membership again. They also are not very pushy about it, and canceling the membership is not difficult.
The bathrooms are very clean and aesthetically pleasing. The entire vibe of the studio is calming, pleasant, and relaxing. In the background they play ocean waves, which I personally find very soothing. The lighting is dim and the space smells lightly of essential oils, which really adds to the relaxing atmosphere.
As far as the massage spaces themselves, they are not fully private rooms but rather individual areas separated by curtains. There is still plenty of privacy and the lighting is dim so you don’t feel like people are looking at you. Of course, guests should still be courteous by silencing their phones and speaking quietly.
Before your massage, there is a pre-debrief room where you talk with your therapist about any problem areas, ailments, or what you are hoping to get out of the session. Post-massage you also briefly debrief in that same room to make sure you feel good and everything went well.
Ace is extremely popular, so I would definitely recommend booking ahead if you want to see him.
Honestly, this place is a little piece of heaven.
