When people ask us “What do you do at That’s the Rub?” this is the menu of services we answer with. Developed, honed, crafted, and trained for decades both in Bloomington and top 4-and-5-star resort spas across the United States, Lisa and Jim Keplinger designed That’s the Rub’s service menu to offer Results-Oriented Therapeutic Massage™, bodywork, and personal training centered around the KI Process™ with every treatment and service. We do very personalized, clinical, and therapeutic work by default (if you’re looking for a “routine” the therapist has memorized with basic oil smearing or an impersonal massage these are not for you). Not only are these our most popular massages, but these are also the reason people travel to visit That’s the Rub week after week, month after month, and year after year! What is YOUR Goal?™
