About
ack Space Therapeutic Massage began in 2013 as the realization of a dream Christopher Schiefer to provide Columbia with a place to receive outstanding massage at a reasonable price. Christopher wanted to make massage more affordable so that more people could experience the many benefits massage offers.
From the very beginning, Christopher's primary focus was the client. From his first one room location to Back Space's current 4,000 sq. ft facility, Chris built Back Space from the viewpoint of his client. From the moment you walk in, you feel right at home. With fireplaces, comfortable furniture and a warm friendly staff, you'll feel at home at Back Space. We strive to make your visit to Back Space Therapeutic Massage the best experience possible.

Paid for a 90 minute Groupon deep tissue massage. Started late. Ended early
Like not even full 60 min. Guy was not even aware I was there for a 90 min. I have had some awesome massages at Backspace. Sadly this was not one of them. He did fine on my neck and tired as if for a 90 min for that reason.

Best massage I've had in a while. But, less-than-best customer service. I was confused about the amount on a gift card I had and wasn't able to purchase the massage I signed up for via the web. The secretary was noticeably "put off" by that, but she did accommodate my needs, for which I'm grateful. She seemed annoyed enough that I felt guilty for needing to change the type of appointment I made.
Bruce is definitely talented in massage therapy. But, he, too, was a little off-putting. He was asking me lifestyle questions, but seemed agitated with my answers; somewhat like he expected different answers from me or wasn't getting the information he wanted. Other than that, he was great.

I would recommend Bruce at BackSpace. He was very good at finding points of tension and working to apply appropriate pressure. I didn't need to ask him to adjust his pressure at all, which was great and allowed me to just focus on relaxing.

I walked in with more aches and pains than I could count. I walked out with zero! Thank you Sarah! You are awesome!!

The therapist were friendly and made sure we were comfortable for our couples massage. We each enjoyed the massage and are planning to return soon.

Jonathan was excellent he focused on all the point that I reported to him and still provided an excellent all over relaxation massage. I will be back.

Hands down the best experience I've had at an optometrist, maybe even one of the best experiences I've had with any medical professional. Dr. Stone and his staff obviously care about their patients.Read More …
