I'm also a massage therapist and am super picky with who I get bodywork from and I love getting sessions from Dillon, he is lovely and his technique is superb. My hand was out of commission from and injury (problematic as a massage therapist!) and had seen many different specialists to get it back to pain free, they were all helpful but my progress plateaued at 80%....and then I had Dillon work on it- after three sessions, I have my hand back! And that's just one example of the many ways he has helped me. Dillion is my go to CMT I refer folk out to when they need help out of pain. I admire his knowledge and dedication to the craft- no frills, just skills! His location is convenient and has easy parking. read more

Dillon is like a mad scientist, and I mean that in a good way. he is so focused on getting to the root cause and then he does his magic. He is definitely not your average massage therapist. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology is impressive and his ability to apply it to healing is a gift. My shoulder, back and neck pain is vastly improved and nearly scarce. I only need a tune up about 1 per mo.or so and it's quite affordable with his sliding scale policy. Do tip him well. He deserves it. read more

One of the best massages. Thai and shiatsu were combined to fix my neck and shoulder pain. I could feel the click of adjusting as Dillon precisely pulsed trigger points. I came in pain and left with relief. read more

Dillon is great at getting rid of knots and pain fast.

I'm nervous to write another 5 star review, as I am afraid I'll never be able to get a future appointment with Dillon! The reviews are all true-- he's that good! I just came from my 3rd session with Dillon. Some of the positives I've already seen are: +Dillon is a problem solver. His specialty is therapeutic massage. So for a guy like me who has both TMJD and various sports injuries, he works hard to fully understand the problem and then use his skills to treat it. With seeing Dillon regularly and regular accupuncture, I am now totally free of my TMJD symptoms, but continue to receive regular massage for maintenance. +Dillon's sliding scale makes regular massage possible for me, a school teacher on a limited budget. I really appreciate this! +Dillon cares. He's professional, timely, and astute. He's intuitive, checks in regularly as he is working, and is open to feedback. +His studio is no-frills, clean, and in a really great location that is very easy to get to and find free parking. I feel like I've been going to a lot of bad massages and I never knew it before. Check out Dillon next time you need a great massage. read more

Dillon is the most knowledgeable Massuse I've ever met and I've had a lot of massages. He listens, assesses and works on exactly what you need. read more

First time getting a massage from Dillon and he was really great! I've never thought about getting massage therapy before, but I had been having a lot of shoulder tension so I decided to try Dillon's massage place. He's very professional and he helped me get the movement back in my neck and shoulders. He was also careful about my back injury (Torn spinal disk). I highly recommend him whether you're looking to get a relaxing massage, or to actually have a therapeutic massage session. The space is small, but cozy and private and with light. It was very comfortable and relaxing. And the prices are on a sliding scale, so it's great for my budget. I'm definitely going back again! read more

I've been a client of Dillon's for 2-3 years now, and I highly recommend his services. I've had a lot of massage in the past, with a wide variety of practitioners and modalities, and I can say that Dillon is really effective, especially with tight, painful lower back issues. He is not only knowledgeable, but is also extremely sensitive to clients' requests. I've had a herneated disk and some sciatic issues, and Dillon has been sensitive to my injury while helping to loosen the muscles that tighen up around the injury. He works deeply and slowly, to create relief that lasts. Dillon's sliding scale is very reasonable, given the depth and quality of work. I highly recommend giving him a try. read more

I started seeing Dillon in November 2008. I had a back injury that developed into a pinched nerve in my neck. My right arm had felt like it was asleep for two weeks. The pain was quite unbearable. After our first session I began getting some feeling back in my arm as well as, that night I got the best sleep in weeks. I had seen others who did nothing and one had even irritated the area. Now I will let no one else touch me. He is always very professional and I leave feeling great. I would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

I have only visited Dillon once, however I was very happy with my experience and hope to have the opportunity to go back again! I had mentioned a recent injury and he was kind enough to work with my difficult schedule to get me in quickly. As I have not had much bodywork in the past, Dillon took the time to explain to me how things worked, tell me what he was doing and checked in on my overall well being during the massage in a friendly and competent manner. Because of this, I was able to relax and actually enjoy the experience- even when he was working on a more difficult spot left over from my injury. Dillon is a consummate professional with very in depth knowledge of his craft and I strongly recommend him! read more

Best massage I've had in a longtime. From the moment I walked into his conveniently-located office, I could tell that I was in the hands of a professional. I had no trouble redeeming the amazon local voucher I was using! Dillon was courteous and thorough--assessing what my needs and expectations were before beginning. His massage studio, while no-frills, was clean and comfortable. His eclectic music playlist was a step above the usual massage studio music--no crickets chirping thank you very much! He checked in regularly about how much pressure he was using, but he seemed to know exactly how much was needed. Nice combination of different techniques--Swedish massage + stretching + deeper tissue work. Sometimes I get a little bored or antsy towards the end of a massage, but not this time--I never wanted it to end. In fact, I should have booked a 1.5 hour massage instead of the one hour. I should also note that my husband mentioned later in the evening that I looked more relaxed (and "younger!") after getting the massage from Dillon. :) My last groupon massage that I bought from a different Marin CMT was a disaster. Not so with Dillon--he was good or better than massages I've had at high-end spas for $150+. I would highly recommend him. Free two-hour street parking on B street (across from Safeway) just behind his studio was very convenient, but I think the parking lot might be an option too--I didn't have to investigate that. read more

I have been visiting Dillon for about a year, based on Yelp reviews. I have been very impressed. I was a competitive cyclist in my 20s, with massages weekly. Now I am a corporate robot with health goals. Dillon listens to my bi-weekly issues and fixes the critical problems. Recent exercise improvements are hopefully going to help. To get to the point, Dillon is a very professional massage therapist with his patients' goals in mind. I highly recommend visiting him vs.some anonymous corporate massage company. read more

I am a junior manager of a massage clinic so I am very picky and well educated about massage. Dillon is amazing. I suffer from fibromyalgia, a bulging disc, as well as upper back and neck pain. After coming out of one of Dillon's massages I feel so well balanced and pain free even long after the massage. His professionalism, knowledge and outstanding intuition is what seperates him from the rest. read more

This is the best massage I've had since I've been up in Northern California. Dillon is a seriously skilled massage therapist. He applied a combination of Swedish and deep tissue, using the perfect pressure (not too hard, not too soft) to straighten out my knots. He found knots I didn't even know I had, and managed to smooth them out. He also worked on my arthritic hands. My hands almost always hurt; it is just the nature of arthritis -- but Dillon got them to the point where I felt absolutely no pain. Still don't, as of this writing. What brought me to him was a combination of an Amazon local certificate and the referral of a friend with impeccible taste. Don't despair if you do not reach him immediately. He's pretty busy, but he really does call you back! Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with this well-trained, hard-working massage therapist. After having had so many mediocre massages up here -- I'd almost given up. read more

I've been going to Dillon for massage for years now and each massage is incredible. His knowledge of the body is impressive, he is affordable, and he always focuses on your problem areas. I can't say enough good things about him read more

Not only have I worked with Dillon in the past, I was also a client. Dillon worked wonders on my problem areas and after my massage I had my range of motion returned and the pain in my hands and arms were gone. He a professional, very knowledgeble and a wonder person, I highly recommend him for all you aches and pains. read more

I was away on vacation and the elderly lady with whom I live was having severe leg pain. Dillon made a house call and provided exceptional service for a very delicate client with acute pain. I fully encourage anyone with complex muscle pain issues to schedule an appointment with Dillon. read more

Dillon used a technically correct approach with me. This was enhanced with accommodation and benefical therapy focus for chronic and single episode trauma problems. He is including his own dynamic interpretations from experiences to provide benefit of acupressure for specialized body areas and helps with the Coping too! read more

i rarely post on yelp for good OR bad, but i needed to post this... not because dillon isn't good (i'll never know), but because dillon didn't honor his agreements (he's actually the THIRD marin massage therapist who signed up for amazon local services/deals & chose not to honor the "deal"). i had purchased an amazon-local voucher for a massage by dillon & realized that it was almost expired. i called dillon 3 days before the expiration to make my appointment & he told me he was booked for the next 2-3 days, thru the voucher's expiration date & therefore was unable/unwilling to honor the deal i'd purchased. i called amazon to double-check policy & that's not the way it's supposed to work. amazon says as long as you contact the vendor before the voucher expires, it should be honored... so i got a refund & never saw him. not honoring your agreements is a strange way to participate in a (voluntary) program designed to bring in new business. read more

As a massage therapy student it's difficult to find the time to GET a massage. Thankfully Dillon had a promotional offer going on when I had free time. His knowledge in the field helped ease a lot of aches and pains I get from giving massage, aerial silks, sword fighting, and my day job. He was able to do more for me in an hour than I expected and had good advice for postural realignment. I will definitely be going back when I get free time again. read more

Dillon really knows how to find your trouble spots and work them out. I had some persistent issues in one area of my back, and they haven't come back in a month since visiting Dillon for the first time. I was a little sore for a couple days after the visit, as he told me I should expect, but it was well worth it. read more

A groupon success story! I came to Dillon via a groupon deal but am now a devoted monthly customer! I originally purchased the deal for just a good massage but between buying the groupon and visiting his San Rafael studio, I injured my back. Dillon knew exactly where to go to find the source of my discomfort and definitely knew what to do to alleviate the pain. He is quite well versed on the musculature and the massage was both therapeutic and relaxing. He is professional and organized and I have been back many times since my groupon was redeemed. I feel I no longer need to search for a regular therapist who knows their stuff and that I can trust. read more

I've been going to Dillon going on 2 years now. He is extremely knowledgable, professional, empathic, and communicative. He is attentive to his clients needs every visit asking about any trouble spots, but not to worry, even if you don't know what's what, he'll find them like a bloodhound looking for a truffle in the french countryside. His expertise is particularly in neck and back deep tissue techniques, however as a cyclist with my own unique injury history, my issues are usually in the legs, hips, and glutes. Over the time he's been working on me, he really has learned a lot about cyclist specific issues. Because it's deep tissue, it's not always the most comfortable experience in the moment, but it's extremely effective. He always encourages feedback, works hard to create a relaxing ambiance, his studio is always clean, he's always, ALWAYS hygienic, and makes sure you hydrate whether you're coming or going. His pricing is extremely fair, especially for Marin, which has made it cost effective to see Dillon on a regular basis, which is huge. I notice that getting massage regularly, my muscles are more supple and receptive to massage. If I take a break for more than a few weeks, it's like starting over. I'd personally like to see Dillon incorporating other techniques like cupping, but he knows what he does best, and sticks to that. Ultimately it's preferable to be the best at what you do. read more

I've been going to Dillon for about 2 years now, and having been to many therapists in the past, his technique and ability to read the body, really stands out. He has very strong knowledge of the human anatomy, and this comes to light every time I go in for a session. His rates are very reasonable, and he is very professional. I strongly recommend him!!! read more

I saw Dillon for my super tight lower back muscles. He suggested I get a deep tissue massage just on my back for the hour. I took advantage of his two for one offer here on Yelp so the price was right. Next time my back gets tight, I will go to Dillon right away. He loosened the muscles on the first secession. He had me return in 4 days at which time I told him my lower back was still aching each day. He worked on that problem spot and the aching stopped. I agree with all the other 5 star reviews concerning Dillon. read more

I was very impressed by Dillon. He was very professional and accomodating. When I first came in he asked about adjusting the lights and the music, I've never had a masseuse ask me about that those things. He definitely did a good job of focusing on the spots that were particularly bothersome to me; he spent more of his time on them while other masseuses have not. Afterward he was concerned if I would feel any pain so he would know if he had applied too much pressure which I've also never had a masseuses ask and once again showed his williness to accomodate me and professionalism. I definitely recommend him! read more

Dillon is the best. He really knows his stuff. I went to my chiropractor for shoulder and neck pain with little improvement. I felt immediate relief after just one session with Dillon. Definitely worth it. read more

I snagged an amazon local deal and went for a massage with Dillon today. It was, in a word, spectacular. I didn't realize how bad off my neck was until after the massage. Before, I had limited movement in my neck, and now I can move it about as far as an owl--on both sides! Not to mention the massage felt AMAZING. Not like some deep tissue I've had that hurt and don't make much difference in the end. His hands just seemed to find all the little places that needed attention and relaxed them thoroughly, one sinew at a time. I can't remember a massage this good. It was truly spectacular. Go today. Don't wait. You will be so glad you did! read more

I have a combination of issues that give me chronic pain in my shoulders, neck, and back, as well as a recent injury to my ankle which hasn't been healing much on its own. Today was the first time I saw Dillon, and he really worked hard on the knots in my shoulders, helped me with my injured ankle, and helped me understand everything you were doing. I also know more about how to prevent issues in my problem areas and treat them when they arise. I feel so relaxed and have a lot more range of motion. Excellent service! read more

If you read all these reviews about Dillon, you will have noted that even other massage therapists admire him and go to him with their aches. When I have Dillon work on me, I am never afraid I will be hurt, and I know I will be in a lot less pain when he's done with me. I highly recommend him. read more

Dillon was great. Very professional, observant, competent and able to find the right spots. His fee is very reasonable. I've already rescheduled. read more
