Back to the Basics Massage

I have been going to Codi for massages for over a year and a half now. She is amazing!!! I’ve had this sciatica issue that I’ve lived with since I had a back injury 13 yrs ago. I no longer have Sciatica. Codi has completely cleared that up! I don’t even worry about it anymore which is wild to me after 13 yrs. She also gave me tips on how to care for other body issues between sessions. She’s a wealth of knowledge.

Love Codi! She goes out of her way to make it a great experience. I highly recommend her to everyone.

So grateful to find Codi, at Back to the Basics Massage. Experienced a wonderful, relaxing, Swedish massage for 1.5 hours. It was awesome... after over a year and a half due to Covid-19 pandemic. Codi is wise beyond her years, very knowledgeable about pain management, and truly wants you to feel better. Her shop dog "Poseiden" is sweet as can be and loves to relax, while you relax . Codi offers many techniques and styles and is flexible in customizing within your time frame. I definitely will be returning and was pleasantly surprised to find she offered me a new client discount! The massage room is comfortable, clean, decorative and serene. It was great meeting her and supporting local business in Albany. Very Happy Customer!

With everything going on in the world right now, and being a healthcare worker on top of that, for months now it’s felt like my body was one giant stress knot. I decided to be an adult and book a massage, and I’m so happy I did. My body feels 50 pounds lighter, I almost feel high, that’s how relaxed I am right now. Codi is a fantastic massage therapist, she is very very skilled, but also really personable and interesting, she has a really calming presence. I will definitely be going back soon. 10/10 would recommend Codi Laffey and Back to Basics Massage to ANYONE who feels ridiculously stressed out and in need of some pain and stress management. Totally worth your time and money.

Codi is the best! She helps make the whole experience relaxing and she accommodates my crazy schedule. The first massage I had was from Codi when I had a slipped disc. Her knowledge of the body and different natural pain remedies was a blessing! When she left I was able to walk with 75% less discomfort and by the next morning I was good to go!

I can now walk better thanks to Codi's expertise in massage therapy. I didn't think it was possible to have this much mobility twenty years after a car accident. She gave me tips and tricks that I will use for the rest of my life. By the third visit my toes were no longer locking up and the pain in my knees was completely gone. I would highly recommend the 2-hour therapeutic massage with Codi at Back to Basics Massage!

I heard about Back to Basics from a friend after experiencing a work related injury and decided to check it out. I have to say it was an amazing experience ! Codi was really nice and very informative and extremely gentle when I needed and worked the areas that needed more attention. The environment was very nice a relaxing with no outside stress. She was extremely knowledgeable and gave me a lot of future information to help with my pain and how to avoid future injury. I would highly recommend giving her a chance.

Pretty sure Codi went to Hogwarts. Her knowledge and skills are purely magical. This is what I would consider a dive massage place. 10/10 recommend. I have never felt so disassembled and put together at one time but I loved every bit of it.
