At 75, with severe degeneration of my entire spine and chronic/DAILY pain, Robert gave me the best massage that I have had in my life. Now scheduling many more. read more

I had a massage here last week and it was the first time I have ever walked out of a massage feeling worse, and in more pain than when I went in. I've been an athlete my entire life, so I've been getting massages for 30+ years. I've also had the same issue in the past that I went in for this time. All of the other times, I left the massage feeling much more relief and they took care of my problem. Not so this time. Besides that, the massage therapist never stopped talking the entire time. I go for a massage for bodywork and to be able to zone out and relax. Not have someone constantly away. This guy never shut up. He obviously is not tuned into the client or what their needs are. read more

Jonathan did a great job on my back and shins. When I said I wanted firm pressure he delivered. I definitely recommend

I had my first massage with Hector last night! He's incredibly skilled and experienced in what he does as a massage therapist. We were talking throughout most of the 60 minute session (because I had requested for him to explain) and he is very knowledgeable about what he does. I told him that I sit behind a computer all day long with my shoulders slouched and requested for only a back massage. Hector explained to me that trigger points for back pain is actually caused in different areas of the body and we modified the massage to what I needed to make me feel best. In short: Hector is a professional and well-trained massage therapist, proud of his work and the results really do speak for themselves. I have two more massages on the books with him and so excited! Thank you Hector :) read more

Robert Cumming is an Outstanding massage therapist. I have been a massage therapist since the 1990s, starting out in Palm Beach, Florida. I've received my trainings from some of the very best on the planet and am pretty darn spoiled when it comes to getting my massages. I've retired but worked on both the very wealthiest, and the very best athletes in numerous sports for many years. I say all that to give you a reference point for when I say that he is the Best I've had in the 20 years I've lived on the West Coast. He has extensive Rolfing Training, which allows him to work as deeply as the body needs, and he is incredibly intuitive as well, knowing how deeply or gently he needs to work, and when and where the body needs what it needs. In a word, Impressive. He used to be on lower State Street, and has moved to a location farther up State, just below Mission St in a building that calls itself Massage Collective. Find him if you really want a great massage!!!! read more

Exceptional Bodywork!!! I brought my mom with me and we're both so so finicky about how we are touched. Robert did such a great job! He is a master at bodywork in multiple styles from giving a great full body experience to addressing specific needs - my back pain GONE! Both of us were truly impressed, and yet the bodywork wasn't the only amazing part of the experience! Heated neck pillow, lovely scents, great city view, tranquil and soothing ambiance, and CBD oil - oh my! I am super excited to find this spot! You are lucky to get a session here! read more

I have had many Massages in my life and Robert has delivered some of the best. I highly recommend him for good bodywork weather it is deep bodywork massage or a nice relaxing massage he is top notch. He is very experienced and knowledgeable both about massage and Rolfing. Also, there is plenty of parking around this place which is a very nice plus since it is sometimes very had to find parking around town. read more

This was a great find. Hector is amazing! Best massage I have ever had. I booked one week out. The place is small and different, but so worth it. Support Hector, you will not be disappointed. read more

Hector is magical I have back, hip, and neck injuries which can be very tricky to work on without causing additional pain. NO PAIN, just "WOW!" This was my BEST massage ever. Full stop. I will definitly be back. read more

Massage started 15 minutes late and ended at 45 minutes, not 60, which was what we booked and paid for... we had set a timer when hands were on the person. My arms, hands, front of legs and feet were never even touched.. definitely NOT a full body massage in the slightest. Music was loud and disruptive rather than peaceful. Then we were told how much to tip. lol. Such a joke! read more

Hector is incredible!! I'm a dancer and have two other jobs here in Santa Barbara. I'm either on my feet constantly or locked at a desk. I came in for the summer special, not realizing how much my body needed this therapy. I hadn't been given a massage in almost a year, and it showed. I explained to Hector what spots on my body are more often sore, and where I experience minor injuries. He nailed them all within the first session!! I signed up for a session every two weeks after, and as I continue to receive his therapy, we continue to work through the layers of my muscles and joints. I haven't found such immediate relief in quite some time. I will be going to Hector as long as I live in Santa Barbara. He has superior intelligence and intuition in this realm, and I'm so glad I found him! read more

Hector's hands are magical!! I have been suffering from frozen shoulder for almost two years. I was unable to bend my right arm back. I was unable to sleep. While idle, the pain radiated from my shoulder, down my arm and up my neck. I experienced complete and constant discomfort!! I tried everything. Physical therapy, chiropractors, acupuncturist, two cortisone shots...with no real relief. Then I met Hector! He has been a complete game changer! After 4 sessions, I am 90% pain free, I can now sleep through the night. My range of motion has increased 90%, I can now reach back and clasp my own bra!! What I love about Hector is his commitment to completely understanding the clients needs and primary concerns. He stresses the importance of communication, breathing, and trust as essential elements for a successful massage session. He says "We are a team!" He is a true professional with a wonderful gift for restoring natural balance in the body. My pain management has improved tremendous with his skillful and precise massages. I can't recommend him enough. read more

Super cute location! Best massage I've had in a while, love the vibe. I bought a package and already set up my next appointment read more

This was a fantastic massage, and I am pretty particular about my massages. Hector paid particular attention to the spots I had pointed out. I said I wanted extra arms and he spent the time on them. I get a lot of massages, and no one ever does enough arms and hands. Pretty standard swedish massage techniques (I asked for relaxation massage, not deep tissue), but he knows what he is doing. Works slow but efficiently. read more

Hi, I purchased 3 massages for $180 to be used over the next year? How can I get my refund? Could I have some contact info? Thanks! Lauren read more

My husband and I had one of the best massages we've had in a very long time. Hector was amazing. Great experience all around. We'll definitely be back! read more

Hector is an amazing massage therapist. As a medical professional I was impressed with his depth of knowledge of the musculoskeletal anatomy. Also he actually listens to your requests and encourages feedback. He is super friendly and open about his plan. I highly recommend Hector and will be going to him as a regular. read more

Bought my husband a massage here as a Christmas gift and finally got a chance to use it. He said it was wonderful, and they really worked his back. He has scoliosis, sciatica and works a demanding physical job so was in dire need of some a great deep tissue to help alleviate aches and pains. 805 Massage Company did a wonderful job accomplishing this and I'm thankful they brought him some relief. They were very accommodating and great communicators when setting up the appointment as well. read more

Hector has consistently given me the best massages I've ever known. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Scheduling is a breeze because he is available via text and is quick to respond. I moved back to San Diego months ago and actually still come back to Santa Barbara to get a massage from Hector once in a while. Absolutely worth every penny! Thank you, Hector!! read more

Hector has helped me so very much! I cannot even explain how he works because he just reads your body and knows exactly what to do. That's all I can say! Everytime I see him I'm amazed. He is so intuitive, knowledgeable & skilled. I have "frozen shoulder" and its been 6 months. He's still helping me, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel! I can't wait just to get a regular, relaxing massage with him because right now he's working to "fix" me! I'm so beyond grateful for him!! read more

I have been getting massages once every other week for over 10 years now. I have tried many different massage therapists and Hector is by far one of the best ones I have ever had. There is a reason he is so highly recommended around Santa Barbara and also why he books up so quickly. If you have a chance to book an appointment with Hector, absolutely do it. He does phenomenal deep tissue work and always puts extra effort in to accommodate all your specific needs. So happy to have found him Also his studio has a wonderful ambiance with the coolest decor out there, I recommend going even just to check out the interior but it would be a shame not to get one his fantastic deep tissues massages while you're there! read more

Best massage ever! Seriously, if you need a really good deep tissue massage, this is the place you want to go. I feel so relaxed right now. Hector is very knowledgeable and professional. I plan on coming back every month read more

Santa Barbara massage and rolfing is a cute little gem that's in the heart of Santa Barbara down town. Easy to parking and great staff. They do great work would highly recommend. read more

Absolutely the best massage I have ever received. Hector has helped me with multiple injuries as well as relieving the stress I develop in my muscles from everyday life. He provides a great location with incredible ambiance. He also gives multiple options for packages and times for his massages that cater to you specific needs. Best masseuse I've ever been to. read more

There is a reason it's all 5 star reviews. I was hesitant to leave one because he's already booked up like a month in advance. Best massage I've ever had. Will be going back frequently. read more

I have had massages all over the world and this was one of the best. Hector is amazingly sensitive to what needs work and knows how to fix it! Highly recommend him. read more

Best Massage so far this year Hector is comfortable to talk with and gave perfect amount of pressure. Going back to

The best massage I have ever had. Been working over the years with various body modalities and "magic hands" incorporated all his trainings into this fabulous 90 minute massage. I wish I lived local as I would go to see him every week. Please support and be supported by this wonderful man and company. I get no perks whatsoever from writing this review other than a healed neck. read more

Hector gives the best massages. He is very intuitive and knows exactly what spots need extra attention. I had tingling in my hands and feet for 5 weeks. I went to a doctor, had lots of blood work , nothing indicated what the problem could be. One 90 minutes massage with Hector and the tingling went away. He knew trigger points to concentrate on. Besides being healing he also gives a full body massage that makes me melt into his table. read more

I went here to get my first massage, and had a great experience. I can't remember the last time I felt more relaxed! Hector did an amazing job, and would recommend their massages to anyone! read more

I have gotten a lot of massages over the years, and Hector is the best masseuse I've ever had. I've been putting off writing a review because I want to keep this gem all to myself! But seriously, I put my body through a lot and probably don't stretch and take care of my muscles pre- and post- workout as I should be. But Hector has been helping me to identify and mitigate the sources of my aches and pains, and I feel better and better after every visit. It's not an easy massage, lots of controlled breathing exercises needed, but it's worth it. Highly highly recommend. read more

I purchased a massage on Groupon for my husband for his birthday last month. I came in with him for his appointment today because we had been out walking state street together and I wanted to check it out. It's a very nice little studio/spa space. The waiting room is really quirky and colorful yet relaxing. The girl who got him checked in was so nice and helpful. I hung out for a minute and charged my phone while sitting on the patio which overlooks state. When my husband got out he was a whole new man! He had a big smile on his face and told me he felt amazing & it was the best massage he's ever had. He has pretty bad back pain and ended up opting for a couple of add ons which he also really loved. Robert was his masseuse and he seems to really know what he's doing and is also very friendly. Yes it's true you do have to book a bit in advance but it's worth the wait! I am going to come get one myself as soon as possible. I highly recommend coming for a massage here I'm so happy we found it! :) read more

805 Rolfing and Massage - Balcony off waiting room space. Lovely! - Massage Therapy Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Hector was amazing. I have been dealing with shoulder and hip issues from working at my computer for several weeks almost nonstop. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology enabled him to understand and get the root of several issues and relieve the pain and tension I was having. A great experience- I signed up immediately for several more sessions. read more

Hector was very professional and his massage skills are higher level for sure! The deep tissue work was wonderful and the bonus heat therapy and tiger balm helped me immensely. Today I woke up with no pain after several very creaky mornings. The spa is lovely, too. Thumbs up! read more

I was going to pay full price for a deep tissue massage for a friend visiting during the holidays. Got a Groupon offer for the same and bought it. Apparently this guy only makes appts via texts. No response all through the holidays. Nothing to say he was on vacation. Ok, so I'll use the massage for myself. Texting back and forth to make an appt. I thought it had been made. I'm there. Oh, sorry, it wasn't confirmed. He said, "I get a lot of texts". Then that's not a good way to do business. I just want my money back. Groupon only refunds within 3 days. Well that would have been during the holidays. Robert said he would contact them. I paid $65 one month ago. Still no refund. read more

Great massage. Great energy. I have received a dozen or so massages, and was excited to hear they now offered cupping. I HIGHLY recommend this add on. I suffer from chronic shoulder and lower back pain, the massage released all muscle tension in these areas. I felt great for days after, the cupping really opened my muscles to healthy blood flow! read more

Great massage! Hector is wonderful at finding the areas on my back that most need to work. I come here several times and always receive a terrific massage. read more

Hector was truly amazing, he was professional and very knowledgeable. He found answers to where my pain was coming from and I left the massage feeling much better than when I came in! read more

This is the best place to get a massage. I have some deep knots, and when I would get massages at other places, they never felt like as much pressure as I would like. Hector gives a great massage and is not afraid to dig in if you ask for it. I also like the atmosphere of the spa and intuitive nature of the massage. Hector clearly cares about the well-being of his clients! Highly recommended!! read more

I got a massage from Victor as a Christmas present and it was the best present I got this year! He's amazing, not like any other massage I've received before. He really tries to work with your tension and pain and is very meticulous about solving what is bothering you. My body felt so great after and I was painless and able to do stretches I haven't done in years! Thanks Victor! Recommend him to anyone looking to get a great massage in town read more
