A great massage does more than loosen tight shoulders. It can improve sleep, ease chronic aches, and make busy weeks feel manageable. In the Weirton Daily Times Best of the Best 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards for the Steubenville area, locals highlighted therapists and studios known for careful intake, clean technique, and follow-through that keeps you feeling better between sessions. If you’re choosing where to book next, these five standouts offer skill sets that fit real life.
Melissa Grable — Mel’s Therapeutic Massage
Melissa Grable, LMT, tailors each session to what your body needs that day—deep-tissue work for stubborn knots, myofascial techniques for mobility, or hot stones to calm overworked muscles. Online booking simplifies scheduling, and clients appreciate clear communication about treatment goals and home-care tips that extend results.
Kayla Corder — Altered Images Hair and Nail
At Altered Images’ day-spa side, Kayla offers relaxation-forward bodywork with the option to target problem areas when stress stacks up. The salon’s team setup and straightforward policies make it easy to pair a massage with other services, and appointment windows include daytime and some evening slots to fit around work.
Rachel Williams — Spectrum Family Massage & Bodywork
Rachel Williams focuses on evidence-informed bodywork for all ages, including specialized training in pediatric and special-needs massage. Her approach blends communication with caregivers and other providers when appropriate, so sessions feel supportive and coordinated. For families seeking gentle, goal-oriented care, this clinic is a thoughtful match.
Co-owner and licensed massage therapist Megan Dunn builds sessions around practical relief—deep tissue for pain management, relaxation massage for stress, and add-ons like heat when needed. Clients like the one-stop convenience of a modern spa environment and clear contact options for questions before a first visit.
A Wintersville favorite with multiple LMTs, The Massage Joint is appointment-only to keep the focus quiet and unhurried. The team handles everything from classic Swedish work to targeted therapeutic sessions, and the shop’s updates make it easy to message for openings or last-minute cancellations.
