Here’s a collection of what people are saying from MassageBook, TripAdvisor, and Google.

Absolutely amazing sports massage!

“At first I wasn’t sure that an “athletic” or “sports” massage would be any different or better than any of the other massages out there, but I was wrong. I had a leg muscle that was giving me big problems right before I was getting ready to run a 7 hour race, and I was desperate. I scheduled a panic appointment with Ruth at Athletic Touch and an hour later, my leg was perfect! Not only was the massage expertly targeted, but she also gave me tecniques to run and cycle without aggravating the problem muscle and taught me stretches to help prevent injuring it again. I ran the entire race (7 1/2 hours of it) without any recurrence; even after the race, my leg was fine!! I was absolutely amazed. I highly recommend Ruth and Athletic Touch as the only place I will trust to ensure top performance during any of my athletic events.”

“Ruth is amazing. I found her 20 years ago when I was doing 50k Nordic ski races. she was great then. At 54 I have decided to get back into racing Nationally and was fortunate to be able to find her again. She is greater than great. Very intuitive. I had a couple “weaknesses” with my body and within a couple sessions she dialed in the source. With her in my tool box I plan on racing hard for at least another decade. She finds her profession as an ongoing experience.“

-Chris N., Albuquerque

One word…PERFECTION!

“I’ve had massages all over the United States and Ruth, by far, is the best. She instantly makes you feel relaxed and her nurturing and compassionate demeanor mentally heals you while she works out all the kinks. She tunes into your trouble spots and somehow, by the time you leave, feel like a new person. Massage is healing…and Ruth is a true healer.” 

-Greg H., Florida

“Ruth is the real deal when it comes to therapeutic massage. Very knowledge and highly skilled! I see her once a week to help me keep hitting it in the gym.” 

-David C., Santa Fe

“Ruth takes time to get to know you and your body so she can treat you holistically. She’s knowledgeable and kind, and she’s helped me sort out some long-standing patterns of stress and tension. She’s guided me to new levels of awareness that go beyond the time I spend in sessions with her. Highly recommend!”

Thank you

“This is what massage is all about. By taking the time to hear what is the problem and slowly, consistently helping the body to release and relax deeply. Thank you Ruth for the good work and integrity you have brought to the art of massage.” 

-Arlene Montoya., New Mexico

An athlete treating athletes.

“Ruth was prompt and courteous with scheduling, and made sure to understand the nature of the problems she would be treating.

As a power lifter, some of my areas are too tightly knotted for most people to attack directly or treat at all. Ruth’s understanding of the muscular system and fascia is quite evident, as she understood my imbalances and training habits through touch alone. She also gave me some corrective stretches as “homework”. She met and exceeded all my expectations, and I am pleased to be a returning customer.”

-Kyle H., Arizona  (Trip Advisor)

“Our first choice for massage! Ruth has provided me with massage for various reasons (relaxation, pregnancy, and therapeutic) and she takes the time to locate issues (if there are any) and help the body to release the tension. She is fantastic!”

“Ruth is professional, kind, and an amazing massage therapist. She has helped me with my chronic back pain and migraines for years. Not only will she relieve your pain, she will also make you feel comfortable and encourage you to participate in your journey to healing. You will never have a better massage from anyone else!!“

-Sara Z, California (Google)

Helped my shoulder

“My shoulder was giving me problems with baseball, and the season has just begun! Ruth gave me a massage for my shoulder, but what I didn’t know why she was working on my core. It turns out that my back and core was the problem of my pain. She did an amazing job, and if I have any more trouble, I know who to call. Thank you so much Ruth.”

-Tony Garcia, New Mexico (Trip Advisor)

“Ruth is an absolute master of massage therapy. Her knowledge of human physiology and her massage technique make her an incredible resource for maintaining strength and flexibility. She does what a pill could never do and with only positive side effects!”
