Sports massage is used to warm up muscles before an event or any intense workout you may have planned. The idea behind pre-event massage is to warm up muscles prior to enduring a heavy work out in order to 1)increase blood flow and circulation 2)prevent injury 3)prime the muscles to work at their peak performance.

I've had chronic sciatic and muscle pain for years. I've also had many massages in towns across the USA and abroad. Three college friends, meeting on Folly Beach to celebrate our 40th birthday year without partners or children, enjoying the time and space to reconnect. We called Malama and they were.

I've had over 50 massages in my life and this was by far the best! My husband and I came for a couples massage on our honeymoon and all the stress that had built up over the prior months melted away. Sam takes a holistic approach to massage by focusing not only on the muscles but also on improving freedom of movement. This is not your standard cookie cutter massage- the deep tissue work alleviated long standing knots and I left feeling taller and finally relaxed. I can't recommend Mālama enough!!

Amazing massage! Went for a couples massage and it was truly the best massage I’ve ever had. They even identified an issue in my back causing pain so I can go get that taken care of. They are so knowledgeable and take the time to talk with you prior to identify what you need. Highly recommend!

Had the most magical massage with Sam! If you are looking for someone who is committed to real deep healing, Malama is the place to go. After one visit most of my back pain that I have had for years was gone!
Malama is the real deal :)

Wife and I went for last minute massages. We did 60 minute massages and both walked about agreeing they were the best massages we've ever had!!! Don't think about it and just go - you won't regret it!

What a fantastic massage by Sam! He really got ALL my knots out and I was so relaxed ALL week because of him!!!! I highly recommend, if you are on vacation, to book ahead for this amazing treat!
I love his peace mentality and relaxed atmosphere. This will be a requirement for our annual trip from now on:) Thanks Sam & Malama Massage

My wife and I were on our babymoon and went to Malama for a fully body massage and a prenatal massage. It was amazing! The place was very clean and the service was great and very professional. I would highly recommend this spot for your next massage.

Truly amazing! Never had a massage like that before. Sam gives his all - a true healer at the heart with the strongest hands I’ve ever experienced. I strongly recommend if you need serious work done!

Wow. Sam has a gift! I went in for a relaxation massage as a gift from my wife for my anniversary. He let my body guide him and worked out deep tension I didn't even realize I was storing. But I could feel the release! It's the next day and I feel great. I've had ten or so massages in my life and this was easily the best. I can't wait to return.

Sam and Otto were great. We went in for a couples massage. They made us feel comfortable right when we walked in and left there feeling like we were walking on clouds.
Highly recommend this place

I come down to Folly from Columbia just to get a massage from Sam (well, and a meal at Jack of Cups) He's got the healing touch and will give either a relaxing massage or focus on pain relief. I've also had a massage from others at his establishment and they've been amazing as well.

Sam is amazing!! He really knows exactly what he’s doing to work out the kinks. DO NOT pass up the opportunity to experience true therapeutic massage. This is the real deal! Definitely no fluff and buff that’s typically found in vacation spots. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find a better massage at home even after searching and after reading 100’s of reviews. This guy is THAT good. He got into muscles I didn’t even know I had!! Lol.
It’s a new business and Sam is training up a team of therapists in his masterful ways to handle more business. So call them up or go online to book
