Sal has been my therapist for about 15 months now, and I couldn't be happier. He is easily the best therapist I have ever had. From the moment I met him, he made me feel very comfortable. Sal is very talented and super knowledgeable. I have chronic neck and back pain and have never found a therapist who has helped me as much as he has. I feel super lucky to have found him. AND, he's affordable. I would definitely recommend Sal to anyone looking for a quality therapist, and I have!! Everyone I've sent to him has been equally pleased. Do yourself a favor and call Sal for your next massage, he will not disappoint. When I was recommended to him from a friend I was told that "he's magic". I have to agree. read more

Sal is an incredible massage therapist. He is so knowledgeable about the benefits of massage therapy and which techniques can actually help you feel better long term. He will work with you to hear and address your concerns and even follow up after your appointment to see how you are doing. He wants you to see improvement and maintain that good feeling. Sal is very professional. He shows up on time and arrives with everything he needs (table, linens, music, etc.). I would highly recommend him. read more

I've tried over a dozen different massage therapists over the years and Sal is the best I have ever had by far. Sal will typically start a session by asking you about yourself and what is bothering you. Since I'm a repeat customer with specific needs (I'm training a TON for triathlon IRONMAN) he knows that I need running and cycling specific treatment. He has been able to improve my flexibility using Structure Integration techniques as well as help me with my IT Band causing the very common Runner's Knee pain. When I went to Sal I was at my wit's end, I had been to Kaiser physical therapy and they taught me some stretches, I had been to some mainstream massage chains with mixed results and mediocre experiences. After my first 3 sessions with Sal I am no longer experiencing knee pain and am able to enjoy running again! I am now a regular customer and have nothing but positive experiences and results with Sal's treatments. read more

By far the best massage/physical therapist I have ever seen. And I have seen many. Sal honestly cares about making you get better. He's always checking up on me between sessions to asses how I'm feeling and progressing. This is not your usual relaxation massage that makes you feel good in the short term, but a truly healing one that gets your body to go back to the healthy state that it should be in. My posture and walking stance has changed dramatically to the point that my friends point it out to me often. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him when I did. Shortly after I started seeing him, I ruptured my L-5 disk, which was a 9mm extrusion pinching onto my sciatic nerve (while doing box jumps at crossfit). The kind of pain I experienced when this happened was like someone repeatedly slashing a knife from my gluteus down my leg. Sal used his knowledge and skills in Structural Integration to take my pain from a 10 to about a 3 in just one session, down to a 0-1 within a few sessions. I was skeptical at first, but a true believer now! The last time I had herniated my disk, it took about 3-4 months for the pain to become even bearable, and 6 months to heal. I was virtually pain free within a month. That's incredible! And I'm still CrossFitting! To say the least, I am extremely grateful to him, and I know this is a lasting treatment. I've been away in Portland for about a month now, and have not been able to see him, and still pain free! Get on it! At his current rates and talent, it won't be long till you see this guy booked out for months. read more

Sal fixed my back! I had spent a horrible night sleeping on a chair, which caused unbearable shooting pain, and now the pain is gone. What a delight! Sal was also easy to schedule, was super responsive and professional, is a good communicator, and most importantly is quite an impressive and talented body worker. His background working in professional sports gives him that extra edge in knowing and understanding how the body works, and I especially appreciated him letting me know what he was doing, what muscles were involved and why. He even gave me tips for how to continue the care at home including icing and stretches. I wholeheartedly endorse Sal and look forward to visiting him again! read more

This was one of the best massages I've ever received. Sal does an amazing job! He is very friendly and inviting. He does his best to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. He was very thorough and really does great work on your whole body. I felt so relaxed and really like a new person when he was done! :) Definitely recommend!! read more

Sal is the man! He is so knowledgeable and really WANTS to get you feeling better. I have RA and my muscles experience a lot of stiffness and aching - Sal took the time to understand my symptoms and listen to where my trouble spots were to pinpoint the cause and make the adjustments to his approach to best assess my needs. Highly recommend seeing Sal if you're looking for a holistic approach to get some relief! read more

Sal is amazing!! My sister recommended I see Sal after experiencing a severe anxiety attack as a result of my back pain. Sal took the time to understand my symptoms (along with my hesitation to massages) and was able to make me a believer! He definitely knows what he's doing and I have never felt better! Thank you Sal! :) read more

I've never had a better massage. When Sal came to me, I was sore, hurting and tired. He's made me whole and I see him every week to keep my body in good health. You won' t regret using.. what I call...."My Sal." I could go on and on with professionalism as well, but above says it all. read more

Need a REAL massage? Please visit Sal! Today was my 2nd treatment, and I know I will be back for more! I appreciate how he "diagnoses" what my body needs and manipulates the soft tissue accordingly. Very skilled and professional. Do not waste time and money getting the kushy plushy massages. You'll feel good only during that hour on the table. I consider what Sal does as treatment, not just a massage session. The benefits from his treatment is felt even afterwards for days. read more

I have been using Sal's massage services for 2 years now and I cannot say enough great things about him. He is extremely gifted in his services!!! read more

After a knee injury that happened a few weeks ago, I had limited mobility and the activities that I could participate in were very few. After 3-4 sessions with Sal, I feel 100% again. Sal is really knowledgeable and I highly recommend him for any sports related injuries. read more

Sal is amazing! I've had two deep tissue massages to work on my neck and back pain, and he has helped tremendously. After my car accident two months ago, I've had consistent neck pain and stiffness. He has helped with the pain and my range of motion. He will work every muscle from head to toe like no other therapist. He's above and beyond your typical massage therapist with a passion for helping others. Don't bother going anywhere else. Go see Sal, you'll be happy you did! read more

I never give a review on a first visit. But now that I've had Sal work out my stressed out body, I will. After working all day I decided to try and get the kinks out. I have had many people massage me with little lasting relaxation. SAL HANDS DOWN. Knows what he's doing.... His quality is top teir and the environment he has in his studio is warm and welcoming. He's defiantly worth taking an hour out of your day and letting him work out you stress.. but be aware. You won't want him to stop. Being that I am a man, I felt very comfortable and very secure. 5 stars from me. read more

I had my first massage in a long time with Sal. It was amazing to say the least. My lifestyle is extremely active and my body shows it. Sal made sure to address all of my problem areas and gave special attention to my shoulders and back where I hold all of my tension. If you have any injuries or areas that need special attention, definitely give him s try. So much better than the generic massages at the larger chain establishments. I will be back in a few weeks. read more

This is my first ever review on Yelp, but Sal is amazing and one of a kind! That I had to tell people how skilled of a therapist he is. When you first meet him he ask if there are any areas of concern he should work on or stay away from. He begins with aromatherapy which put me in the mindset to relax and forget my worries for an hour. His Technic is smooth and continuous working each muscle in length. He was able to find the muscles that has been causing restriction of use in my right hand. An I been to Specialist and physical therapist and they couldn't fix my hand or even relief the pain like Sal did. On top of that in just one session I was able to move my neck and shoulders with ease. I felt like a new person the next morning and no bruising, unlike other therapist I've been to. Looking forward to my next session with him. I HIGHLY recommend him!!! read more

Great massage! He had a lot of techniques I had never seen before. Super affordable pricing for repeat customers which I love and the massage was top notch. (He worked at some of the high-end massage spas before and I could tell.) He Had just the right amount of pressure so it felt like a sports massage/deep pressure and worked loosened up many of my "trouble areas." Great mix of relaxing music, very clean/professional room and easy location (right above the UPS store in Triangle Square.) Highly recommend this place. read more

I never write yelp reviews unless the service that I receive is exceptional. (This is the 2nd Yelp review I've ever written; the first one was back in 2011.) I found Sal on Groupon and was so glad I did! Sal is a very skilled therapist and is very good at what he does. He begins with a bit of aromatherapy, which helps relaxes me as I wind down and mentally transition from whatever happened at work...the hectic and busy day melts away as I refocus in my own self-care. From the very 1st minute to the 60th/90th minute of your massage therapy, Sal provides you with his complete attention, is very consistent in his level of pressure, and makes smooth continuous transitions to the different muscles that he works on. Sal will use your breathing to effectively work on certain muscles, he'll ask you to take deep breaths as he increases the depth of treatment into the more difficult muscles. He is very detailed-oriented and knows which muscles are causing me issues by feeling for them. I'm always impressed and extremely appreciative when he finds issues in the small muscles of the palm of my hands and works on the thin long muscle of my forearm crossing from my wrist to my elbow. He'll naturally spend more time on areas he finds causing the most problems--Sal was able to identify more issues with my right hand without me having to tell him. It feels incredible because I do a lot of typing and mouse work in my job. Sal also incorporates muscle stretching during my session. I have very tight shoulders and neck issues so it's always so helpful when Sal integrates the stretching my neck and shoulders in extension/flexion range that I normally wouldn't be able to achieve on my own. He also does stretches that help loosen up my quadriceps. Confession: I actually tried out another therapist through Groupon near the area and it was a real disappointment but definitely made me appreciate the work and effort Sal put into my sessions. I won't say the name of the other place, but it was basically paying them to lather lotion on my body for 90 minutes...they were not focused and in tune to what treatment my body needed like Sal was. I can guarantee that I'm never going to stray away like that again. I also have a brother with cerebral palsy who I've taken to see Sal a couple of times. My brother has osteoarthritis and all of his muscles are severely constricted and very spastic. He looks forward to his sessions with Sal and always comes out feeling lighter and more relaxed. Sal is a very professional, caring, and helpful person and I'm very fortunate to have cross paths with him. It's an absolute blessing to be able to work with a therapist who understands how to release the build up of stress and pain in your body and provide you with the healing that your body needs. Thanks for everything Sal! read more

The Best and Most Complete Message ever! Sal is an excellent therapist. I'm particular and without hesitation highly recommend Sal to men and women. His space is also immaculate!! Yes, it was a Blessing locating Body Sculpting by Sal. You too will be pleasantly surprised. read more

I've been a hairdresser for 20 years and I've never really took care of myself. Well, I was sitting down after a a long day of work and as I got up I ended up pulling my back. After going to the doctors I found out that I had a bulging disc. I couldn't walk or even sleep for 4 months. I tried everything and nothing helped. I ended up getting sal's number from one of my clients and let me tell you that I didn't think he could help me. After the first 3 sessions I could sleep and walk with no pain. I've been coming to Sal for 3 months now and I've never felt better. What ever he does is like magic. He helped me and he can help you. read more

I found Sal on yelp when I was having sharp pains in my back. I didn't want to go to just any massage place and wanted to make sure the massage I got was from somebody who has worked on/ is knowledgeable with athletes. I couldn't have chose a better person! I wasn't even sure if a massage/ bodywork would help my problem but was willing to give it a try since my job is very physical. I called him to arrange a last minute appointment that night and he said he could see me the following morning! He was so accommodating with my schedule and came to my house for a massage (even more convenient). From the moment we spoke, he was so genuine and made sure to ask all the detailed questions about what was going on. I've had over a dozen massages before but this was so unique and customized to my body and pain spots. It was exactly what I was looking for and even better than expected! He makes sure you are comfortable the entire time and really listens to what you need/ want done. After the first massage my pain was tremendously better and Sal made sure to follow up with me right away on how I was feeling. After a second massage, my pain was completely gone. I couldn't believe it! I left not only feeling so much better, but also with so much more body awareness. He even gave me some tips and articles to read that related to my injury. I can't express how great my entire experience has been with him. He is so knowledgeable and caring. I cannot recommend him enough!! 5++++ stars read more

got stood up. my first time ever paying for a service and not getting it. already paid and confirmed via phone call and text and show up for my appointment. the entire place is vacated without a single warning telling me not to show up. I call five times and text to follow up and for an explanation and get no reply. this is a FRAUD. please avoid. super disappointed because the reviews seemed so good about this place. read more
