Robert is, without question, the best massage therapist and bodyworker I have ever seen and I've seen so many over the years that I've lost count. For more than two years, I lived with chronic sciatic pain every single day. It affected my daily functioning, my energy, and my quality of life. Immediately after my last session with Robert, my sciatic pain was completely gone. Honestly, I kept waiting for it to come back because I couldn't believe it. It's now been three months, and the pain is still gone. Waking up every morning without pain has been life-changing. My quality of life has improved more than I can put into words, and I am incredibly grateful for Robert's skill and care. Also, my work is incredibly demanding, and Robert's treatments are the only thing I've found that can immediately quiet both my body and my nervous system. The stress I carry melts away in session. I walk out feeling grounded, restored, and like myself again. That gift alone is priceless. What sets Robert apart is his presence. He is deeply attuned to what is happening in your body and seems to intuitively know exactly what it needs. It's difficult to explain, but you feel it when you're on his table. Robert has an extraordinary gift, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him. Thank you, Robert, for giving me my life back. I will never be able to fully express how grateful I am. read more

I have had many massages in my life; local, international, at high end spas, on cruise ships, but my massage with Robert yesterday, 3.3.26 was probably the best I have ever had! Robert asked about my concerns and how my body was feeling. After sharing a few updates with him, he got to work. And, boy, was his work cut out for him! I do weight training (along with yoga), but had recently up leveled my workouts. Robert found those super tight areas and worked them. Not painfully (like other masseuses do), but with a firm, yet gentle, technique. Not once did I grimace or feel uncomfortable. I left on cloud nine with my body feeling healed and rejuvenated. I plan on making Robert my go-to massage therapist going forward. I live in the Tri-Valley and will gladly make the commute for his services. read more

I am extremely grateful for Robert's care, professionalism, and deep listening that he offers in his massage work. I play a lot of tennis and this middle-aged body needs alot of readjusting. Robert is GREAT. And I am also a trained massage therapist and am very particular about what type of massage I benefit from. Sometimes really technically proficient massages lack some relaxation but Robert's setup and his energy give the best of both experiences that I prefer in massage...relaxing, peaceful and also deep and detailed work in the areas that need more attention. Robert's experience and intuition also had him find some connections and stuck places on the body that I wasn't previously aware of. I highly recommend his massage services!!! read more

Robert is wonderful! I've been seeing him for awhile now and I highly recommend him for a great massage.

I've had hundreds of massages (and was a therapist for years) and Robert is among the very best. A true therapist. Deep work without pain. So grateful to have found him!! read more

Robert is phenomenal! I've had dozens of massages over the years and I have never had someone so knowledgeable and talented as Robert. He has super powers! When he massages you, it feels like he can literally see every single problematic area, so much so that it feels like he has X-ray vision!! I'm blown away that someone like Robert exists and thrilled to have met him so soon after relocating to Marin. Looking forward to my next appointment! read more

Robert has a wonderful method of doing the work needed without any pain or discomfort. He's warm, welcoming and meets you where you are -- for me it's less talk and all relaxation. He's responsive, consistent and really cares. He's a best kept secret and a gift to his industry. read more

I was able to easily book my first massage with Robert online today. Couldn't have been a better experience. Great location, easy parking, calm massage room, Robert's comfortable caring presence and expert massage. He immediately made me feel at ease. I planned on a 60 minute massage, but was lucky to be able to extend it to 90 minutes for even more goodness! Robert expertly and firmly released the tension in my shoulders and neck, sending me home feeling SO great! Thanks, Robert! read more

I have a masseuse that I love in SF so when I moved to Marin I continued to drive to the city but longed for something closer. When I was 8 months pregnant I searched on yelp and found Robert at Synchronicity and was blown away. He's fantastic - no more drives to the city! Robert demonstrates a lifelong passion and expertise for massage, the human body, and holistic health generally. As a result, he's able to call upon a wide range of techniques and modalities to adapt to your unique needs. As an athlete, I appreciate his ability to do deep tissue and think holistically about where a problem originates. read more

A visit to Robert proofed to me that time is relative: guess time really flies when you...are (being) relaxed. I found out about Robert and Synchronicity Massage Therapy when I was yelping for massage services in Mill Valley; I had just recently learned that my company's health and wellness package would allow me to expense $60 per month on massage services and I thought that I'd be silly if I didn't take advantage of this great offer. My first appointment with Robert was very good. I honestly can't say much about his technique, as I'm pretty much the opposite of a massage connoisseur. In fact, Robert was surprised to learn that I had maybe 2-3 massages in my lifetime. That said, whatever he did to me felt great and I left his practice feeling like I could conquer the rest of the world. read more

I have been a happy once a week client of Robert for two years. I have sciatica, a herniated disc & arthritis. Robert does a great job in giving my sore muscles relief with a friendly weekly session. He understands the body, massages the pain away & is also a good guy. I have recommended him to friends who are also pleased with his service. Norm C in Mill Valley read more

Robert is a great massage therapist. He has relieved me of a lot of my pain, using varying techniques. He is very aware of my pain, and tries to alleviate it without the process itself causing more pain. Plus he is a cat lover, which says it all! read more

I love massages but I am a little critical and picky about them. Not all massages I have had in my lifetime have been great. Awhile back when I belonged to one of the membership driven massage outlets, I had a therapist that chomped gum in my ear the entire massage leaving me far more uptight and tense then when I arrived. Of course that experience was an extreme, but suffice it to say that I have had my share of inconsistent and mediocre massages or massages that were uncomfortable or painful. A lot of times my neck felt a little tweaked after a massage.I know, a bit counter-intuitive right? Fast forward to Robert who I have been seeing for a little while-maybe a year? I am losing track of time :). I see Robert fairly consistently.Robert is an outstanding massage therapist who understands body mechanics and has a boatload of training and experience. If you want a particular kind of massage, chances are Robert has been trained in it. I always leave feeling better and more relaxed than when I arrive. His prices are more expensive than the retail strip mall chain massage places but so worth it as he is extremely effective and intuitive and will send you home feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I highly recommend Robert at Synchronicity Massage. read more

I have been looking for a great therapist for a long time. Someone that takes the time to read my body, to see the synergy of the muscles and be able to do the work. Finally, I found Robert. He has been an LMT for more than 15 years in the Valley and continues to educated himself often. His studio is located conveniently just off of the 51 about 10 minutes in a quiet residential neighborhood. The massage intake questioning was thorough, but not invasive. His set up is calming and the room & table were warmed by a heater! The massage lasted 90 minutes or so, I didn't want to go back to the real world. He does offer Gift Certificates and has Pay Pal set up on his website if you didn't plan ahead with stopping for cash. I will definitely visit him again when I need the work! read more

I have had several massages throughout the years (both at fancy hotel spas and through chains) Robert, hands down gave me the best message I have ever received. I suffered from a yoga injury about a year our so ago. I have had a frozen shoulder and recently have received the mobility and full range of motion back. Although I am not completely ready to return to my yoga practice, explaining my ailments to Robert and having him thoroughly listen to my needs and precautions was very professional. Many massage professionals hear you but do not understand you. I felt Robert was extremely detail orientated and very professional and knew exactly where to put his healing hands to work. Robert's practice is out of his home and I felt this place had an aura of healing sanctuary. I scheduled an hour and a half, had the best massage of my life with some cupping. I have never experienced cupping before and can definitely say my back, neck and shoulder area already feel so much more relaxed and even healthier(?). I will be returning to Robert, he is the best and I believe with his healing hands he will get me back on my mat ASAP. read more

Once upon a time, I gave myself a repetative motion injury. It was the end of the month, I worked for a social service agency with a state contract, and I wanted to finish my billing. So, I worked overtime on a faulty keyboard. The next day, I had a huge cyst on my right wrist. I sought help through our workers' comp clinic, and had occupational therapy for a while. I saw my PCP, and I got cortisone injections into my wrist. She was talking surgery, if it didn't resolve with treatment. Then, eventually, I went to see Robert. This was 19 months after the cyst first appeared. I asked him to work deeply on my neck and shoulders, as I was having other work-related issues due to the heavy tote bag I needed to carry with me to home visits. After the session, I felt great. But, later that night, as I was reading a book in bed, I noticed that the cyst was GONE. More than 10 years later, it has not reappeared. I still have some tenderness in my right wrist, which helpfully reminds me to be mindful of my work habits. But the cyst has never returned. Robert is professional and sensitive. He has an almost uncanny sense of how far he can push or stretch a particular muscle or group of muscles. He truly works in concert with his client, and seeks feedback throughout the session. I recommend Robert and Synchronicity Massage Therapy without reservation read more

I love massages and I have had them at "chains", and resorts and day spas. I have had friends and friends of friends make recommendations. Today I chose Robert due to time constraints and convenience. Robert just happened to fit in my schedule and was close to home. In the past, I have said..."I need a full body massage". Today I requested to only work on my back, as I have had huge "knots" due to long hours studying for the LSAT. Yes, the stress in my life is crazy. So....Was I happy with my choice? Oh MY!!! The knots are gone, my entire posture feels taller, my neck is no longer sore. Robert did the most amazing deep tissue massage and then did a round of "cupping", which I had never had before. WOW is all I can say. Very intense feeling...I know I will bruise up, but what a great feeling. First thing I did when I got home, is reorganized my desk. Laptop is face forward, rather than to the left....(thanks for the suggestion...) I am so so pleased that I chose Robert today...he's fantastic, very professional. He's friendly, caring, welcoming, and is so very experienced....and hands down, probably ONE the best massage I have ever had!!! :) read more

Robert Byrnes gave me one of the best sports massages that I have experienced. He has mastered many different modalities of deep tissue massage and was able to find scar tissues, muscle tension and knots buried deep in my neck and shoulders. He was so thorough that I felt relief throughout the entire week even after having played tennis. Thank you Robert and I am looking forward to many more. I finally have hope that my muscles will return to their more youthful fluidity and strength. What a relief! I can get back to playing the sport I love! read more

Still Rockstar steller cupping energy Treacy Style massage!!! Simply the best!

Robert is amazing! He is very attentive and in tune to his clients' needs. By far the best massage I've ever received. Whether you want a deep tissue massage for therapeutic reasons or a relaxing massage, he is your guy. You won't be disappointed! read more

I found Robert a few weeks ago and he is absolutely WONDERFUL!! What a master! Not only is he versed in various massage techniques, but what I think is his greatest attribute is his ability to read your body and muscles ... he quickly assessed my problems and went to work .. what a relief it was! I had such tension and pain in my neck and shoulders when I went in but when I left, I felt like my neck was inches longer! No more muscle tension, no more pain. I went back a week later for another session. Robert, you make me wish I lived in Phoenix so that I could come in more regularly... read more

From the minute Robert started the massage, I wished I had 2 hours. My shoulders were tight from hours on a plane and my feet were sore from walking for days. Roberts hands are magical! In just an hour, he had me feeling relaxed and unwound. Total professional, such a nice guy too. Highly recommend. read more

I have seen Robert 3 times so far and he has proven to me that he is an incredibly talented massage therapist. He has helped me so much in relieving tension and pain from prior sports injuries and I continue to see Robert because he produces results. I highly recommend Robert and I feel very fortunate to have met him. read more

I don't often get massages, but I expect I will be now that I've seen Robert. He was fantastic; he was very professional, mindful of my injuries and I left feeling like a new person. My hips feel like they've been unfrozen. I extremely grateful to have found such a talented body worker, thank you Robert. read more

I get massages frequently. As I travel extensively, especially since my husband and I retired, I have had massages at many top resorts and spas throughout the world. I have to say Roberts massage was one of the best I've ever had. He really has a great understanding of muscles and their movement which is great for a sports massage or a therapeutic relaxation massage. I almost hate to post a review because I don't want to get too busy and not able to fit me in! He is a little gem right here in Mill Valley. Nice guy too! read more

I have had regular massage for 40 years+. I have gone both to chains and private therapists, preferring the latter. Once you find someone who is knowledgeable, intuitive, and highly skilled, you stop looking. I found Rober Byrnes and recommend him without reservation. He takes the time to listen to your individual needs, and adjusts his work accordingly. I have never felt he was rushing through a session, or forgetting to take into account information given to him, regarding preferences. His work space is clean, orderly, comfortable and quiet. He will provide hot towels and water if you would enjoy that. A professional in all aspects; if you desire not to talk he will be silent. Should you want to engage in conversation, he is knowledgeable in many areas. read more

I was referred to Robert and what a great referral it was. Robert is a genuinely nice person and can carry on an intelligent conversation on most subjects. He's also pretty quick witted and funny. I tell you this, mind you, so you realize that if you choose to carry on a conversation during your session, the guy is cool. Robert is very into yoga and healthy lifestyle to it fits his approach and therapy technique well. Imagine a mid 40's gray haired Yoda and you have Robert. Mix that in with a great massage therapist well versed in Eastern healing methods such as cupping and you get a kick ass session. Thanks Robert! read more

I have had massages all over the country for the last 30 years. Some of the therapists I've found have been truly exceptional. However, Robert is the best massage therapist I have ever experienced. He conveys serenity, peace and healing in his way of being and his intuition for what body work is needed is magical. My body is naturally incredibly tight and he is able to work with me in a way that releases the tension and leaves me feeling lighter, calm and relaxed. I highly recommend him. read more

Without a doubt, the best massage I've ever had - and I've had a lot. I have chronic neck pain, but it hasn't hurt at all since my first massage with Robert yesterday. I am so grateful to have found this therapist. read more

I spent two years trying looking for a new - serious - masseuse after the woman I went to for years got out of the business. Wasn't looking for a spa massage - I needed someone to help me with some serious back issues I was having. I finally found Robert! He has helped me get healthy again. read more
