Elements Therapeutic Massage - Scottsdale \ Fountain Hills

I recommend Elements at Shea without reservation. I found the staff to be both knowledgeable and pleasant and have highly recommended them to family and friends. Moreover, the Elements massage services were more affordable and efficacious than similar spas on the Vegas strip (Venetian, Wynn, etc.). I expect to purchase a family plan upon my return.

After having read the reviews on Google I decided Elements would be the one to try. Even though it was my second massage ever it was good enough to be extended right there and then. Nita is the one who gave the massage to me. She's professional, helpful and kind. She gave me a deep massage that went very well. I left very satisfied and still am. They are friendly there and take care of you. It was a great experience.

I would like to respond to the lady above. Elements is great and the Massage Therapist there are always concerned about their clients. My question is Did you let the therapist know the pressure was to much? Did you communicate well to the therapist the type of massage you wanted? Another observation is that I have recieved massage there frequently and it seems by your response is that you are looking for a Spa/Resort. No one has control over how people may respond to massages when they come out the room. it is very rude to tell someone to be quiet when they are being very receptive and thankful for the massage they recieved. Another question I have is would you have liked to relax during the massage or have a therapist ask you on a consistant basis how is the pressure? Seems to me that you came in the studio with very a closed mind and negative. Elemets is there to help client with conditions, range of motion and other things. I hope this has given you knowledge on other massage you may recieve and I hope you do find one that is up to your expectations. You have a great day!

There are not many positive things that I can say about this "spa". I have frequented a number of pricey spas in the Scottsdale area and elsewhere, and was hoping to find an affordable place, close to home, to simply get a decent massage. Unfortunately, the search continues. First, if you are looking for a true spa experience (i.e, fluffy robe, sauna, luxurious waiting area), Elements on Shea is not the appropriate place. The facility is nicely decorated, but small. My only serious complaint about the facility is that through most of my massage, I could clearly hear the conversations that were going on outside of my room, and based on the amount of noise around me, I could ascertain when the 50 minute massages were being completed (I was getting an 80 minute massage). This was not the most conducive environment for relaxing that I have experienced. As to the quality of the massage itself, my therapist seemed to be trying to do her best, and did work out a lot of the muscle tension in my back. However, her skill level was average at best. At a few points, the massage was borderline painful, and was actually painful at one point. With all of that said, when I left the facility, my rating probably would have been 2 stars, mostly because the price was not very high, so I felt like I simply got what I paid for. However, after the massage, my tricep area became very painful, and my arm developed a very deep bruise that was about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide over my tricep area. Also, the top of the bruised area has an oval shaped area where the skin was broken. There had been no trauma to my arm between the massage and when I noticed the bruising, and given the location/shape of the bruise and broken skin, my only conclusion is that the bruising was caused by the massage. About a week after the massage, I decided that the bruising was severe enough that I should contact the manager to discuss the issue. The manager did return my initial call within a 24 hour period, and after I described my problem, he said that he would follow up with me after reviewing the notes in my file. This conversation took place several days ago, and there has been no follow up. After almost two weeks, there is still some dark purple bruising in my tricep area in addition to the healing of the broken skin in oval shaped area. Since the positive reviews on SpaFinder were part of what influenced me to choose this location, I felt compelled to share my experience.

Wow! I used to go to many massage parlors in Scottsdale trying to find the perfect place with all of the traits I was looking for. I could never find it until I walked into Elements on Shea. Relieving atmosphere, friendly staff, and a level 10 massage! What could be better?

This place is awesome. Not only is it a great value but Lisa is an awesome therapist! She really gave me a lot of relief and focused on my needs. I felt like I was in a high end spa without paying the high end price. Everyone was awesome and I am now a member which is a great deal. You must check it out.

What a friendly, helpful staff. When I walked into Elements I was taken away by the calming vibe. I had never received a massage before and the front desk staff explained what to expect and help pick out the right type of massage for me. I was also matched with the perfect therapist for my specific needs. The massage was excellent! I was hooked within the first minute. I’m now a regular at Elements!

I received a Spafinder gift card from one of my friends because they know I LOVE massage. I came across Elements on Shea because they were near my home. I saw they won the Best Massage Studio Award so I thought I would give them a try. It was AWESOME. Not only was the receptionist knowledgeable, my therapist was INCREDIBLE. I am now a member and visit at least twice a month.
