As a sufferer of chronic pain dealing with a flare-up while on vacation in Austin, I was looking for something very specific from a massage. Form + Function gave me exactly what I was looking for! Never in my life have I experienced a more effective massage. My masseuse, Katie, was incredible. She used the perfect amount of pressure at all times. She asked me what I wanted, listened to my response, and never once wavered from that. She was friendly and forthcoming when asked questions, but never once initiated conversation when I was choosing to be silent. Every staff member I encountered was very accommodating, and this was easily one of the best massage experiences I have ever had.
This is the massage studio I have been looking for in Austin! I had a great massage last week from Lizzie. I have had chronic back and neck pain for years, and she really knew how to get in there a loosen up my muscles. So happy to find Form + Function!
Jesus was incredible! He knew exactly what he was doing, and was able to work on me and my issues in a way that felt not just relaxing but very healing. I recommend him enough and I am somebody who gets bodywork often!
I scheduled a 60 min massage with Stacy Newkirk and it was incredible - honestly one of the best and most beneficial massages that I’ve ever experienced, esp for booking same day on a whim. She was able to point out stress points in my shoulders and addressed all my concerns.I’ll certainly be back! Thank you, Stacy! 🥰
I went to Form + Function in February because I was having persistent migraines and was pretty desperate for relief. Somehow the universe brought me Jesus, who healed my migraines within a handful of visits. Not only do I always leave feeling better but Jesus is full of fun stories and food/music recommendations—he’s the best! This is a great little spot, highly recommend 🤩
1 hour appointment with Katie. Very pleasant and professional and worked hard to alleviate the discomfort in my neck. Very happy with the results. Definitely recommend!
Best massage ever, hands down. Ive been feeling super tense lately in neck, shoulder, upper back area. Stacy was very attentive and took care of all the problem areas with her magical hands! Thank you again, Stacy!
Stacy is just incredible! Extremely affordable for the quality of service. Highly recommend💫
Incredibly talented practitioners here. Thoughtful & obviously know what they are doing. If you feel any kind of ‘off’ muscularly, go here.
Love this place, excellent staff and value! Highly recommend!
I have been dealing with Lower back and sciatic pain for months now.My therapist of 10 years relocated and I have not been able to find someone with the pressure and training to massage someone of my stature.Matt after one session was instrumental to helping me ease my pain. I have had 1 session with Matt and I have already booked out-weekly sessions with him.From our first sessions, he has dug into the areas that are troubling me, giving me localized tension relief as well as more whole body massage therapy.I am really grateful I found Matt and I can tell his healing touch will continue to help alleviate my pain and tensions.
I have been to Form + Function twice now. I love the bios online so you can pick the right therapist for your needs! The studio is beautiful and clean. Prices are good for downtown. Everything was clean and seemed very safe and clean in the time of Covid. I worked with Emily most recently and she was awesome. I booked a 90 minute for pain in my left leg, she was really exploratory to figure out what may be causing pain and addressing the issues. I will definitely rebook when my paycheck allows!
After spinal cord surgery, I was left with extreme nerve and muscle pain through my shoulders and back. With my Dr.s permission, I scheduled a massage and was seen by Katie. She was very attentive and compassionate and we talked through the details of my surgery and post-op pain before the massage. She was brilliant! I got the first full night of sleep that day and have been able to sleep and manage my shoulder pain much better even decreased my pain meds. I highly recommend.
My experience here was awesome. I have been dealing with some back and neck aches for years due to working a 9-5 job at a desk for about 7 years at this point. I lost a bunch of weight, started running, and started lifting weights; and I really began to feel the tightness more and more. It was also limiting my mobility, which is incredibly important. Kari, my therapist, really listened to and put together a massage that has made a significant improvement after just one 90 minute session. The tension in my neck is greatly reduced so that my shoulders can hang with less effort, and the tightness in my back is also significantly improved.
Fantastic experience from a cool local spot. The next time we’re back in Austin we’ll have to schedule another massage. 11/10
Best message Ive ever received! Ask for Liz.
Liz did an amazing job on my tight shoulders and neck. I asked her to give a deep tissue massage and she did that and more. I felt like I was run over by a truck the following day. Amazing. I will be back!
Kenia is amazing! Great experience. I will be going back
Absolutely loved my massage here! Kenia was so sweet, listened to me when I explained where I was having pain and why. She was able relieve the immediate pain I came in for as well as help with the long-standing knots I have from working at a computer all day. Even gave me some tips for things I can do at home to help relieve tension.I was thankful they were able to see me on such short notice (booked the appointment same day) and definitely plan to return. The studio itself is really cute too! I love being able to support local small businesses, so I am happy to have found my new regular massage place.
Liz was excellent. Really got into my shoulders and neck firmly as required. Very lovely and professional also. I highly recommend !
Very dissappointed,I moved to Austin a while back and I am still yet to find a good deep tissue massage. I tried austindeep before, which was an actual deep tissue massage. It was good but not amazing. Reading through reviews I was excited to give this place a try. The therapist was advertised under sports and deep tissue, however shortly after starting I realized that this was not a deep tissue massage. I raised my concern but unfortunately she was not able to switch technique. I am not blaming the therapist, as she seemed nice and only does what she knows. I was considering leaving throughout the massage, but I felt bad for her as I dont consider it to be her fault. However it should not be advertised as a deep tissue massage, as it is a classic/swedish style. Due to being an athlete and having problems with my back, I have received plenty of massages in my life and I felt very frustrated as the massage was painful (not in a good way) and did not give me the release I was looking for.
It was my first time getting a deep tissue massage and Sophia was great! I felt super relaxed, the storefront was very clean and calming. I will definitely be back again
Wow! What a fantastic massage by Jesus! I was hurting and he really knows his stuff. Im feeling so much better today :) I highly recommend!
This place is amazing for more of a sports massage type experience.
Really worked out the areas of concerns and also spent time on relaxation. Enjoyed the team and all the education they provided.
Kenia targeted all of my issues in my upper back. She communicated with me, and told me exactly why I was sore. She was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I am so impressed by the way I feel the day after having a therapeutic massage with Kenia. She works wonders. I will be back!
Have gone here a few times now after they re-opened following The Vid. Extremely clean - everyone in masks, hands sanitized, temperature checked, etc. Kari has been fantastic - fixing all the knots and daggers in my back resulting from all the sitting on a kitchen stool hunched over working from home. Definitely recommend!
This place rocks. Been getting work done on my shoulders and back VERY regularly with John. Very skilled. Listens and is very attentive to what my body needs at that given moment.The ambience is very comfortable. Clean. Comfy. Casual. Great place to get a massage regardless of what modality or type of massage you need. Tell them how you feel and they can set you up with whats going to make you feel good.
Ive had two massages here so far and they have been fantastic. First was with the owner Melissa and she gave a great initial evaluation of the lower leg problems Ive been having. Second massage was with Kari, for a longer period of time and it was definitely one of the best massages Ive ever had. Both Melissa and Kari were super friendly, welcoming, and clearly experienced as those two sessions have already had a significant impact on my foot and ankle pains.
One of the best massages I’ve ever gotten. Ask for Julieta. Know she’s amazing cause I told her my back/neck were hurting and she knew exactly where the pain points were and how to focus on them. Lots of attention and care. Highly recommend!
Fantastic massage from Katie. I booked a last minute 30 minute appointment and had great results!
I had an amazing massage experience here! Super warm and friendly team. I came down for a long weekend and popped in for a massage. Fairly priced and great experience!
So happy to find a therapeutic massage while I was traveling.I was hurting and knew I needed more than a lotion application that I would have gotten at most places.Add to that that it was very convenient to downtown Austin and it was perfect.I was able to squeeze in twice with Kari while I was there and she was very effective. Couldnt ask for better.She also came in 2 hours early to accommodate my schedule..not sure thats always possible but it was really appreciated.
This was the first time I got a chance to experience this kind of Massage and I can say that it has changed the way I look at them forever.I wish I lived here so I could go back a lot more often, but at least I can be thankful for them for introducing me to this and explaining how muscles work and how important hydration and a whole list of other things is for an active body, I definitely recommend because for the price youre paying you won’t just get a great massage, you will literally get a master class on how to keep your body in a perfect shape.
My massage experience was fantastic! The interior inside is super clean and bright. The massages here are not your typical massage studio. From my experience, they give treatment massages meant to really get into those tight spots of tension. I look forward to coming back here again!
In town visiting Austin and stopped in to get an hour massage. John was absolutely amazing - the best massage Ive ever had. He was intentional and loving and it felt like he wanted to be there. Thank you, John! 10/10 recommend.
I was in town for the weekend and called same day I needed a massage. I had Carrie as a masseuse for deep tissue. It was probably one of the best massages I’ve ever had - and I have a lot of massage over the years. Definitely recommend. Thank you, Form + Function.
Melissa is phenomenal. Shes been my massage therapist for the past several years and she gives the best massage Ive ever had. I prefer a lot of strength and deep tissue and Melissa kills it every time. After working out or doing athletic activities, shes great at helping your body heal. Shes also just a great person to talk to. Truly a therapist.
I was in town for a wedding recently and was in need of a massage. I am so glad I came across Form and Function and Elijah. I regularly receive massage treatments in New York City and have gotten massages all over the world on my travels. My session with Elijah was definitely one of the very best I have ever experienced in my lifetime.The space itself is very clean and the therapy rooms are equipped with high quality massage tables that are very comfortable. Elijah took his time at the beginning to get to know my background and problem spots. From there, he worked his magic going meticulously through my entire body and really concentrating on the areas that were particularly tight. The techniques he used made it clear he was well-versed in massage therapy.I felt incredibly refreshed immediately following the end of the massage. So much so that I booked Elijah for an appointment the following week as I just so happened to be in town again for a friends bachelor party. I wish I could find someone with Elijahs skills in NYC for my regular massage appointments!
The therapists there are incredibly knowledgeable. John helped relieve a huge neck pain that left me very impaired. Other massage therapists Ive spoken to there are really well-informed. Tell the therapists what is hurting and they will help focus on it. Rooms and bathroom are very clean, music is nice and relaxing. Really have to recommend John.
Fantastic 1hr20min massage with HanChing a few days after a half marathon and she worked out all of the tension. A definite recommend! The rooms are located in a art/gallery/framing business and they are calming and comfortable. The beds are very comfortable and the linens are soft. Everything was clean and spotless. I will definitely make this my go-to from now on.
Kenia gave me the best massage I think Ive ever had. She is amazing way better than all of the expensive Vegas spaces I usually go to. Wish I wasnt just visiting Austin. Also this place is super cheap. I will definitely be back next year.
My experience with John was excellent. He is extremely respectful and made me feel comfortable. My experience with Elisabet was also wonderful, she took her time with her massage for me and I left feeling like a new person. Seriously, after two massages at this place, I feel so much better in regards to my shoulder/neck/back pain.
F&F was such a joy to find! Had a 60 minute massage with Abby and it was wonderful. She did great fascial work without making me cry :)Only complaint I have is that during my session, I could hear voices that were very loud in the reception area, but the music mostly drowned them out. The environment, overall, was incredibly relaxing. Cant wait to see Abby again!
Absolutely loved my experience here! Booking was easy, the location is beautiful, spotless, and relaxing -- and most importantly, my massage was incredible. One of the best Ive received. Kenia was the bomb!! Ill be coming back for sure. Thank you again!!
Worked with an amazing new therapist Abby at form+function. Her technical skills are amazing! She used a combination of craniosacral and meridian work tech to release some of the chronic tension and tightness in my neck and shoulders. Immediate results from magical hands that follow and listen to the body’s response as she works on it. Highly recommend!
I have been experiencing chronic hip pain for several months, and I scheduled a last-minute appointment at the trusty Form+Function to find some relief. Delashon, new to the staff at F+F, took the liberty of studying my client history prior to my appointment, familiarizing himself with past problems before I ever even walked through the door. Upon meeting him, he immediately made me feel confident that I would walk out feeling much better. He was able to pinpoint the source of my discomfort and worked with me through the whole appointment to work through some of the tougher moments. He gave me sound professional advice about my care plan moving forward, and I left feeling so much better with much better mobility. If you have complicated mobility issues, go see Delashon, and hell help you feel better and map out the road forward!
Best massage Ive ever had. Hands down. Very clean place, relaxing. You can tell they are well trained
Highly recommend Form + Function massage. Rhys took the time to understand my needs and built a massage that addressed them. I appreciated that he chatted with me after the massage and showed me new stretches to try. I left feeling incredible and looking forward to coming back soon.
I just got one of the best massages I’ve ever had from Kenya at Form + Function and have to share that experience! Before we got started, she asked what we were wanting to achieve in this session rather than going with a standard approach. I told her I run quite a bit and do Camp Gladiator for cross training where my legs and upper back seem to suffer the most after the workouts. She focused on those areas and found knots and previous injuries’ scar tissue that I had no clue were still impacting my overall muscular health. Kenya was very communicative throughout the session and asked if she was going too hard to make sure I was comfortable, or at least okay with not being comfortable for my own good. She did a combination of stretching and deep tissue massage to get me feeling 100X better than I did when I waked in.Beyond the masseuse, the facility was super clean and comfortable decorated in local Austin crafts and art. It wasn’t over-the-top fancy and it wasn’t east-side hipster - they found the perfect medium of comfortably clean and cost effective. I’m glad I chose this local business that also supports other locals. All in all, I can’t recommend Kenya and Form + Function enough and I’ll be going back regularly.
My friend and I planned a girls birthday trip and I stumbled upon Form + Function...when I say this was a spiritual experience, Im not even slightly kidding! As we waltzed through an old frame shop a door opened--into the mirage that is Form + Function. Elijah was incredibly friendly and helped us feel relaxed before our session. The staff as a unit were really communicative and I felt like they adapted to all of our needs. A lot of local art work and decorative pieces lined the walls. When it came time for my session, Elijahs massage skills were out of this world and I quietly pondered if I had enough money to keep me on the table for the rest of the day. All day I pretty much thought about that, even after I left. As a teacher and someone on my feet constantly-- I feel so much more in tune with my body and feel recharged for this upcoming week! I will most certainly drive back to Texas to experience this again!!
The best massage in Austin! All the therapists are very experienced and fully address any problem areas. The space, service and location are wonderful. Its quintessential Austin, tucked away inside a print shop with lots of great local art for sale.
I love Form + Function! Ive visited twice for a massage, and each time was great. I plan on going once each month. They take time out of their day to get to know you and what you want out of your massage. Its very relaxing, and the aesthetic of the whole place was soothing and perfect for a great massage experience - & its in the heart of the city!
Devon is awesome! he gets right to the depth of what you need to move and transform and makes it happen... if you like deep work that is also nurturing and smooth... go with Devon. The Office is great and good location and the vibe is high :)
I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Elijah. I would recommend this studio and will definitely go back. Elijah was easy to talk to and very relaxed. He helped identify some problem areas where I was tense, but didnt know it.Arrived with a stiff upper back and neck. Next day, my range of motion is back.
Great ambiance/decor. Had availability day of. Therapist Rhys gave me one of the best massages I’ve ever had (and Ive been getting massages once every 3-4 weeks for over a year now)
Dude. This place is awesome. Massage therapists for any style you’re looking for. I had several nagging injuries and the progress has been amazing. These guys are my go to.
I feel so lucky to have found Elijah at Form + Function when I moved to Austin. I have a high stress job and an area of chronic pain that leaves me very wary of new massage therapists, afraid of leaving worse than I came in. Elijah is a great listener and keen observer of how the work affects you, and I trusted him right away. He is exceptionally talented at bodywork. Go for it. Im way better in a short period of time. He has a fantastic energy that exudes acceptance and welcome.
Amazing East Austin massage at Form & Function... So happy to find this jewel of a place. If you blink, youll miss it. Super clean, exclusive location. Its sortof like a speak easy as you have to enter through the print shop up front and you only get passage with a certain password and hand shake... Just Kidding, but you do have to know where you are going. OK, to the massage, Dan was amazing and provided the most focused and progressive approach to my chronic stress knots above and beyond any other therapist Ive seen (and Ive seen plenty). Everyone else works where the pain is, but Dan went to the tight chest as the source of the pain problem, so smart! I highly recommend Form & Function Massage, just learn the handshake so you can get in through the print shop!... 😊 👍
I was in town from Houston and having issues with my lower back. I knew it was a long shot on a Friday night at 6pm to ask to get in, but they pulled it off! They were able to squeeze me in at the last minute and it saved me. My therapist was Elijah. He not only relieved my pain but also worked out a bunch of stiffness in my back. I felt 10x better afterwards and I was truly blessed that they got me in! I will return and I highly recommend these guys! They are honest, hard-working and extremely friendly! Well done guys!
I got an amazing deep tissue massage from Han-Ching today! She is very intuitive, knowledgeable, and knew exactly where/how much pressure to apply. I also loved the studio- lots of local artists displaying and selling their work here so I got to wander around and check it out after my massage.
Kari was professional and courteous; great session!
I’m so grateful for having found Melissa. She is an outstanding masseuse. I came to her with back pain. After reviewing my symptoms, she thought she could eliminate my pain in 5 sessions and she did. Thank you Melissa!
Form + Function Massage is great! I was skeptical at first, since Ive had many massages at many places over the years, and few therapists are able to help with the many past injuries Ive had. But Form + Function blew my expectations out of the water. My back and shoulders felt better than they have in ages. Ive already recommended Form + Function to several friends, because theyre that good.
Love this place!!! We were in town for conference and they gave us appointments last minute. We felt so comfortable as soon as we walked in the door. Will definitely come back!!🌹❤🌹❤🌹😊😊
I was helped by a wonderfully intuitive and very knowledgeable therapist that addressed my specific issue (low back pain) as well as a few ancillary areas (right ankle and shoulder blades) that were nagging at me. Several days later and I still feel wonderful.
An outstanding massage! Abby totally took care of my neck issues that had been bothering me for two weeks. Highly recommend her & establishment, and their prices are excellent.
Just overall great place and great people. After days with a sore back I set an appointment from a recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed! Great massage!
I was in SO MUCH PAIN in my neck, shoulders, and back when I called F&F. They got me in within the hour for a 90 min corrective massage. Kenya really got to the root of my pain and left me with no unmet expectations. I’m so grateful I found this place! Very professional and relaxing atmosphere, and my therapist was fun to talk to and really listened to what I had to share about my pain and targeted all the painful spots immediately. I’ve already set up my next appointment.
I was looking for reccomendations for affordable massages in Austin while there for business. This place was wonderful! Its in the same building as a graphic design shop. My back was very tight from travel and work, and by the end I felt so much better!
Great atmosphere and amazing value. Highly recommend. Rhys was great!
Being a very active individual that was struggling in a constant scenario of injuries and general discomfort, Finding Form+Function Massage was a breath of fresh air. The frequent deep tissue massage, general preventative maintenance advice, the overall professional approach added to the easy & reliable scheduling has significantly improved my general well being.Schedule today, you wont be disappointed.
Ive worked with Melissa, Carrie and Abby. All stellar therapists, recently Carrie and Abby provided a truly therapeutic 90 min session. Melissa was also essential in relieving a trigger point in my back that was keeping me from sleeping due to pain, and in a 30 min session. I always buy a package of massages and include tip prior to appt. Surprisingly easy to park in this area too.
Woke up with a strained neck and upper back and didn’t want to be dealing with it for days so I booked an appointment here. Kari spent 30 minutes working on it and within 24 hours the strain was completely gone. Very pleased with the results!
Rhys was awesome!! He listened to what problem areasI had and he focused on them. He was extremely thorough and I felt leaving there like a million bucks. I felt very relaxed afterwards!!
Extremely knowledgeable and welcoming staff. I love this place. This is my go-to massage therapist. I also enjoy knowing that my money is going into a local business versus a chain.
Had an amazing 2 hr massage from Anthony! He really worked on some very tight muscles and gave me some great recommendations to avoid poor posture and muscle tightness. I already booked my next appt. Would highly recommend Anthony and Form &Function Massage.
Hands down best massage I have had since my first one 20 years ago. Please keep it in the Austin family and try this small local business. I will definitely continue to seek help from them with my aches and pains. Thank you Elisabet!
Ive had three massages at Form & Function with three different people and they are all great and very knowledgeable. I had one yesterday with John and it was just what I needed. Love the new space, too.
Great location, great massages! I recommend Kari if you go!
I’ve always had a great experience here, and today’s session with Katie was especially good!
Visiting Austin for the weekend and this was the only place able to squeeze us in. So grateful, the 90min session was beyond expectations. Forgot the name of the guy but had a beard and dark black hair lol
Melissa is a miracle worker and the perfect massage therapist for athletes or highly active people. Whatever you do, book a two hour appointment because one hour just isnt enough. Youll feel incredibly afterwards.
I Had a 90 minute massage with HanChing and it was absolutely amazing! She used the perfect amount of pressure and I left feeling totally relaxed after a long day of flying to Austin, Texas yesterday! I would totally recommend form + function massage!
They have tons of available times so Ive always been able to get in day of or within one day of deciding I need a massage. The therapists are great at working with what you need in that moment, theyve always been able to help me with my physical woes.
Super laid back and friendly staff. My girlfriend and I went for 90 minute massages and havent stopped smiling a day later. Highly recommend checking them out.
I love this place! The atmosphere is so relaxing, and Melissa always gets my knots out without the massage being too painful. Shes great about telling you to exhale as shes working on a particularly tight spot.
Best massage in Austin! Highly recommend Abby, she’s amazing!
Beautiful relaxing space. An incredible massage by Elizabet. Best massage Ive had in years!!!
Melissa is the best! Ive been going to her for several months now to fix my APT. Not only is she a fantastic masseuse, but shes great to talk to and really nails the therapist part of massage therapist.
I was in town on business and my back injury became aggravated. I saw HanChing and she was so amazing. She knows so much about the body and taught me some things my therapists back home hadnt figured out yet. I will see her for sure on my next trip to Austin.
John was absolutely amazing. Would recommend him over and over again.
I booked a last minute appointment yesterday evening with Elisabet and it was the best thing Ive done for myself all year. She was very attentive and knowledgable and after a 90 minute session my lower back pain, achey shoulders and neck, and even my headache, all just melted away. I slept like a baby! I will be coming back again and again.
Between school and work, my neck and back had gotten very tight, and Devon did a great job working out all the knots. He was also very polite and professional; will definitely go again.
It was my first massage, and it was fantastic! Very relaxing and great for recuperating from an injury.
Loved it! Great little space, HanChing gave an excellent massage, and I was able to book an appointment same day!
Jen Jacob is my usual therapist and she always does an amazing job. I’ve had neck problems for years and seeing her always helps !!
OMG Han Jing you are amazing. Best hands, hands down. Great massage, Im a regular now!
