I just had the most amazing massage at That’s the Rub in Bloomington, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Conner. From the moment I stepped into the room, he created such a warm, safe, and intimate space that immediately put me at ease. His voice was incredibly soothing, and his hands—pure magic. I could genuinely feel how passionate he is about his work in every movement. He intuitively knew what my body needed and made me feel completely at home. This wasn’t just a massage—it was a full mind-body reset. If you’re looking for a deeply healing and personalized experience, run to book with Conner.

Chris was amazing. He did such a great job working out the muscles I needed while also making the massage super relaxing.

Chris was AWESOME! When I came in I was tight, sore, and in a lot of pain. When I left I was relaxed and have no soreness or tightness . He was open to my needs and requests and I will absolutely be going back to him!!

Everyone I interacted with, from the phone, to the desk, to the massage was polite and friendly. The massage therapist, Chris, made me feel very comfortable and safe and did excellent work! He helped me with my nagging shoulder pain and gave me some exercises and tips to do on my own. Overall, it was a very positive experience!

That’s The Rub is a fantastic wellness and massage center! Recently, I received an excellent massage from Olivia, which made a significant difference for me. I spend long hours sitting in front of a laptop, leading to tension in my shoulders and neck. Thanks to Olivia's techniques, I felt immediate relief. Even a few days later, my shoulders remain relaxed, and the stabbing pain has completely disappeared.Jillian was professional and friendly during check-in, and her warm greeting helped me relax as she guided us to the relaxation lounge. That’s The Rub stands out as one of the area's most results-oriented and welcoming wellness providers. While there are many massage providers in Bloomington, I find That’s The Rub to be the most advanced in knowledge, staff training, and overall health expertise. I highly recommend this leading massage provider for anyone looking to achieve their health goals. I will definitely return soon!

This place is great! Conner and the other therapists care about healing your whole body. It’s not uncommon for a therapist to run over to finish working out a difficult spot, and they always pick up the next session with where you left off with the previous visit.We are lucky to have this gem in our community!

Oh, sweet Jesus! I never knew a massage that wasn't deep could melt me like butter. This occurred right after I had a disaster of a roommate. Right before Christmas, too! In addition, they have other services, so go check them out!!
