Daniel is far and away the best massage therapist I have ever worked with! As a college athlete I've worked with numerous body workers, but no one has ever created this much positive change in such a short period of time. His knowledge of anatomy and sports background is very evident in the quality of his work and he makes efficient and meaningful use of our time together at each and every session. My quality of life, pain level, and function are significantly improved. He's helped heal my neck, shoulders, and low back after I was rear-ended, as well as old sports injuries that have caused me pain for years. On top of that he is a wonderful person who genuinely cares and it has been an absolute privilege to work with him - I can't recommend highly enough! read more

Daniel works at the perfect intersection of knowledge, compassion and pure talent. Having lived in Japan for more than 20 years I thought I had I knew the best body work on the planet until I started with Daniel. While I saw other practitioners for pain management, particularly in my shoulders and knees, Daniel was able to identify the offending muscle groups, and provide immediate relief for symptoms I had for years. He also showed me stretches to maintain my newfound relief - you absolutely have to do your share of the work and consistently - but Daniel will meet you more than 1/2 way by providing the insight and true practical advice that is a very, very rare find. My only hesitation in endorsing him is that he's one man and there are just so many hours in the day. Perhaps in the future he'll train a team of experts in his own way and create more time and opportunities for people to feel a lot better. read more

Mr. Morales was recommended to me by a family friend. My husband was visiting a chiropractor for his shoulder pain from Jiu Jitsu and Crossfit with little results. I looked for another avenue. Mr. Morales was very knowledgeable and familiar with my husband's ailments and pin pointed the cause. Before my husband seen Mr. Morales he could not sleep on his bad shoulder and was only at about 40% of its full strength. Now he is back and stronger. Thank you Back To Normal Bodywork. read more

After giving birth to my 3rd child last year, I was very determined to nurse my daughter for as long as I can each feeding. Unfortunately, due to poor posture, it led me to have a bad case of stiff neck. I was home for only 1 week after being discharged from the hospital and barely functional to care for my newborn. At first I was extremely hesitant in seeking any help, I was terrified in the thought of having someone touch my stiff neck! When I was approached by Daniel in hopes that he can be of any help, I instantly felt comfortable with him. Not only did he have complete knowledge of my condition, he also explained the process of healing from a stiff neck. My neck was back to normal within days after he worked on it just like he said it would. I've been to many massage places and have seen several therapists in the past but never will compare the healing experience I've had with Daniel. Although I live in the east bay, it is definitely worth the drive to see him on a regular basis. read more

Daniel is AMAZING. If you are reading this review, you should already consider yourself lucky for having found him. I've been seeing Daniel regularly for months now, initially for an acute back/hip issue, but now more just for maintenance. That's to say, I know him and his work very well. He is easily the most exceptional masseuse/body work professional I have ever worked with, (and I've seen a lot!). First, he has a very special gift for pinpointing exactly what your body needs without you having to direct him to this or that spot. All you have to do is tell him generally what's ailing you and he'll hone in with his amazing hands. He is also just incredibly knowledgeable about the body and how movements and patterns contribute to pain and tightness. That, combined with his thoughtfulness and great listening skills, makes him a powerful problem solver when it comes to figuring out what is causing your pain or other issues. He's taught me so much about my own body and how I can better manage the daily stresses I put on it due to a demanding job and an active lifestyle. Oh, and top of all that, he is just a lovely person! Do something good for yourself today and book an appointment with this man. You will not regret it. read more
