I've seen amazing results after each visit. These are hard-to-find and hard-to- eradicate injuries that require a lot of expertise. These therapists are highly skilled and do a terrific job. Yes, you can get a massage anywhere in Sacramento for $30. You're going to pay a lot more to get worked on here because this is no ordinary massage. If you have persistent or worrying muscle and joint pain, the kind that a lot of us middle-age folks get in the ordinary course of life, do yourself a favor and go here. Also, expect to have to go to or three times (or more) times to eliminate the injury. But in my experience, after each visit it gets better and better. They're not just trying to get your money. Really a talented group of therapists and a much-needed service read more

Active BodyWork is not your typical massage place, they are TOP NOTCH massage therapy and sports injury care, and their therapists are incredible! I came in in June with an injury to the lower back, which I have history of a previous injury and have required surgery for in the past. I was afraid I was heading back down that road of possibly needing more surgical and medical intervention, but decided to try Active Bodyworks before worrying that surgery would be my only fix. I've been a frequent customer of physical therapy offices in the past, and have found physical therapy somewhat effective--but with my experience in Active BodyWorks I firmly believe they are passionate about finding your problem areas and focusing on them. I came to Arynne with my lower back pain, explained my entire history of problems to her, and she went to work on my lower back. She was kind and patient, and attentive to my painful areas, and after just a few sessions I am feeling pain free! The therapy Center and office is very nice, clean, and professional. I really love that the therapists take good notes about your injuries and spend almost the ENTIRE hour working on your problem spots. I would HIGHLY recommend Active BodyWorks to friends and family with sports injuries, other injuries, or painful problem spots--however, only downfall is they are almost completely booked for their therapists a month or two out, because they are THAT GOOD. I've made it a decision to continue seeing the therapists here to keep my body and health in alignment because I always feel lasting effects of these sessions for WEEKS even after my appointment. read more

See all

I will open this by saying - Dr. Scott Saberniak is a godsend. I have visited a LOT of chiropractors in my past. Because of having to work from home because of COVID-19, and my non-ergonomic home work station, my body seriously was taking a beating. Having been fed up with my situation, and having Active Bodywork been recommended to me by a friend, I made the conscious decision to make an appointment to see Dr. Scott. Truth be told, I didn't want to be premature with this review as I wanted to instantly write a review after my first visit. But three visits in, the feelings have not changed. I take that back, they HAVE changed as they've increased more positively. Dr. Scott has increased my range of motion, as well as taken away a lot of my aches and pains, and I am seriously in awe with how much improvement happens when I walk out of there compared to when I walk IN for my appointment. So what i was saying earlier, how I've been to a number of chiropractors, I have never been to a chiropractor that would take the time as much as Dr. Scott takes, nor have done the methods of effective treatment that Dr. Scott does. I've told you this Dr. Scott and I'll say it again: thank you so much.... read more

Friendly staff. Dr Scott is thorough in his assessments and is a skilled chiropractor

I booked a 60 minute deep tissue massage with Michelle, this was my first time receiving any form of a deep tissue/sports massage. It was a great! Overall I had an awesome experience and will be coming back! -Michelle listened to how my body reacted through the massage, didn't push too far. -Listened to my concerns & gave her own advice about things I was experiencing. -Overall I felt very comfortable. -The facility was clean and comfortable as well. read more

Amazing Remedied my sore neck!! They were wonderful, the location was perfect My neck and back feel great! read more

I come here for my deep tissue massages. If I don't feel pain when getting massaged, my brain tells me it isn't effective. This place is REALLY effective. As a runner, I come here when things feel too tight to be good or if I have a big race coming up. It always hurts but you can feel them working the knots out. If you come here for a massage you will understand why people say things like "I feel young again." I'm only 23 and it makes me feel like a brand new person the next day. My neck tension will be gone. The muscles pulling on my knees will be looser and cause less pain. If I were to spend more money on myself, it would be for regular massages here. If you want a relaxing massage as part of a spa day, this probably isn't your spot. But if you're an athlete or someone looking for a massage that's really going to fix things in your body, you've found the place. read more

Henry was professional, informative, and focused primarily on my problem areas (neck and shoulders). Excellent service. I've also seen Leo for a couple sessions who is also superb in working on my knotted muscles. read more

First time in my life had a small injury and was happy that I found Dr Scott. He put together a thoughtful program and I thought that the sessions were really useful and well worth it. Definitely recommend. read more

After moving back to Sacramento (and away from an amazing Chiro/massage center) I stopped taking time to care for myself in the way I used to. After a few years of poor body mechanics (parenting), neglecting small pains, and some mediocre massages, I hit a wall and finally made a choice to get back on track. Active BodyWorks in Midtown has been a lifesaver! The entire staff is so friendly (and fun), I appreciate how much they care about their patients as people (and not just a body to work on). My sessions with both chiropractic and massage are specific to my needs and focus finding long term solutions that I can manage outside the office. I feel empowered to have my health in my hands and confident in my success (present, future, and beyond). If I had any feedback, it would be to perhaps have scheduling online a bit easier to navigate (I was so confused my first time). But front desk staff is friendly and patient with any questions and can be a lot easier to book through. I highly recommend Active BodyWorks midtown location. read more

I've taken my 15-year-old daughter in twice for sports massage. She has tendinitis in her knees. Yesterday, Cody performed a 30 minute massage. He did a great job focusing on the painful areas and constantly asked for feedback from her. She got a really good session. Also, Cody's a personable guy with an easy demeanor. Also, this business has a great website with online booking. It's quite easy to set up sessions at their two locations. read more

I recently had a work injury on top of chronic injuries and went to active bodywork after seeing them advertised at a run I competed in. I saw ETHAN, a new therapist at midtown. I can not recommend highly enough. I felt IMMEDIATE pain decrease, IMMEDIATE muscle release and felt like I'm walking 5 inches taller! I've NEVER felt this good!! I am so grateful and made future appointments wi. I will be recommending to coworkers, friends and family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I've been coming to Active Bodywork for a couple of years now where I see Dr. Scott. It had been a while since I'd seen him and yesterday he helped to alleviate pain I've been feeling for a long time. He's a talented chiropractor who does so much more than cracking your back and sending you on your way. read more

Leo was amazing. He knew exactly what was the problem and he was excellent. The place is nice and clean and everyone is so friendly. Leo has an amazing personality I am definitely going back. You guys rock. read more

Cody was incredible and very knowledgeable, this was the best massage I have ever received, truly. The front desk staff was extremely helpful and kind. Very outcome focused on what you're working on from a fitness perspective. I really think I can finally get some relief for my IT bands. This isn't a spa-like environment, it's clean, open, no frills and there to help you get better, I love it. read more

Leo is extremely knowledgeable and very skilled at mitigating issues discussed at the start of the session. Fully trust him. He kept me injury free my entire training block for the California International Marathon 2022. read more

Therapist was VERY knowledgeable and thorough. He listened to me and then went to work. He was not afraid to do the work and inflict the pain that was necessary to make my situation better. This is going to hurt but.... Working with athletic people and athletes is different, they get it. read more

The massage therapist was courteous, listened well and provided recommendations to improve my area of concerns.

Michelle G at Active Bodywork was very knowledgeable, seemed intuitive, and clearly explained what she was doing during our entire session. I gained useful information about my body and learned exercises that i can incorporate into my daily routine. The only reason to give 4 vs. 5 stars is due to slight difficulty getting an appointment...she is a very busy and popular therapist! read more

Dr. Scott is terrific! He's helping me with a hip issue now while I am training for CIM.

Love this place. I go almost every week and always leave feeling absolutely amazing. Everyone who works there is so kind, friendly, and respectful and I always feel comfortable and safe. Could not recommend more. read more

Great service, professional, friendly and good advice. I woke up with a neck injury and a week later decided to try massage therapy. I'm so glad I went to Active Bodywork. My short visit made a huge difference and I felt better almost immediately. They even gave me advice on how to prevent future injuries and how to get my neck back to 100 percent. I appreciated how they didn't try to sell me anything and were just focused on helping me to fix my injury. Would definitely recommend! read more

Be aware that Active Bodywork charges your credit card for an appointment upon booking, and you cannot get a refund if you need to cancel (even if cancelling weeks in advance). The staff is great but this policy makes no sense. read more

Excellent ! Came for a deep tissue massage. Clean and professional. Staff were very courteous

Dr Scott is the best! He knows what he is doing and I love that we work towards a wellness goal.

As a very active runner/ marathoner, I couldn't be happier with the work done on me at Active bodywork. Arynne is fantastic at understanding the way muscles work and the necessary treatment needed. I always leave feeling better and happy about the results. read more

The worker did a great job of asking me what I need and analyzed the information. The help was tailored to my situation

Scott does a fantastic job treating patients. He is a good listener as well as provides excellent care.

Quantreal was knowledgeable and diligent! I felt safe during the process and I am already reaping the rewards of our session!

After my session with Fabian, I forgot what it was like to not have any pain! Looking forward to more work being done to release the tension I've been living with for years read more

I'm not normally comfortable getting massages of any kind, but with continuous knee pain from overuse playing tennis and running, I had to go outside of my comfort zone and get some deep tissue massages! Michelle and William are both amazing and I am really feeling the benefits of Active Bodywork! My knee pain is almost gone, we are working on my problem areas, and I am feeling great again! The staff are all welcoming and friendly, appointments are easy to book through an app, and the office is conveniently located in midtown with plenty of free parking around! 5 STARS! read more

I had two visits within one week and they were both fabulous! The facility is clean, friendly, and welcoming. The staff did an exceptional job working through my many kinks! Two exuberant thumbs up!! read more

Julie wa very informative and one of the best interactive massages I have had. The attention and the follow up stretches that I can do in between visits. read more

I've been dealing with a trap strain and spasms for months. A friend recommended me to Active Bodyworks and I'm SO flad I was setup with Fabian. His deep tissue was exactly what I needed. I feel the best I've felt in months and am looking forward to my next visit (going back in a week!). read more

I appreciate the amount of time Dr. Saberniak spends with his chiropractic patients and that he incorporates hands-on therapy with adjustments. He's also sincerely passionate about teaching people how to move their bodies and participate in physical activities they love in a way that's safe and sustainable for the long term. read more

Dr. Saberniak made significant progress on my hip in just one visit. I was absolutely so grateful and amazed! I am literally able to do things I haven't in years. Looking forward to more! read more

Pay is a little high. Could use some aromatherapy and making the rooms feel a little more cozy to feel like you're getting the best bang for your buck read more

I had THE worse massage ever here. The masseuse used a "gun" for most of the massage. Felt pretty good at the time but later my sore muscles got inflamed. I was up most of the night in pain icing and taking pain meds. The masseuse said he had a great feel. Not!!! Never going back. read more

The receptionist hung up the phone 2 times in the same conversation, I had to call back, because he was not getting his way. People today through temper tantrums for ridiculous reasons, leave it at home, not at the office. read more

Katrina is excellent and finding and fixing my injured muscles. Front desk staff are helpful and kind.
