Undoubtedly recommend Jesus and In-Depth Massage. Clearly a true professional with extensive knowledge and skillset. One of the best massages I've ever had read more

Please be cautious before booking a massage here. This happened to me a while ago, and it has taken me some time to feel comfortable sharing what happened. I originally found Chuy through Groupon and went to him three or four times. As a woman receiving a massage from a male massage therapist for the first time, I trusted that I was in the hands of a professional. Looking back, each appointment seemed to involve touching closer and closer to my private areas. Every time I felt uncomfortable, I questioned myself and tried to brush it off because I kept thinking, he's a professional surely I'm overthinking it. During my last appointment, he offered me an additional 30 minutes. During that time, he began rubbing extremely close to and around my crotch area. While doing this, he offered me his "Sensual Massage" services. I froze. I was scared and extremely uncomfortable, but instead of showing it, I nervously laughed it off because I just wanted to get through the situation safely. I went home afterward and cried. What makes me especially sad is that this was my first experience having a male massage therapist. Because of what happened, I no longer feel comfortable booking with a male massage therapist at all. Something that was supposed to be relaxing left me feeling violated, embarrassed, and afraid. His behavior toward me felt completely unprofessional, inappropriate, and predatory. I also can't help but wonder whether these same "Sensual Massage" services are offered to his male clients. I'm sharing this now because I wish someone had warned me before I booked with him. If my experience can help another woman recognize that uncomfortable feeling and trust her instincts, then it is worth speaking about. Please be very cautious when booking a massage with him. If something feels wrong or inappropriate, please trust yourself. I wish I had trusted myself sooner. read more

I just had my 5th or so massage here and it was amazing as usual! I am not an elite athlete nor do I have injuries or anything like that but sitting at a desk all day and just going through life is taking its damn toll on me. Jesus has been able to identify and work out areas that hold tension, even when it's not obvious. He patiently answers all my questions and is very thorough. I always leave my massage feeling great and knowing a bit more about how to care for my body. So glad I have a subscription! read more

Jesus is really good. He is sensitive and kind, and he has skills and technique. Location is good, table is super comfortable and his energy makes it really easy to relax and enjoy the work. read more

I first discovered In-Depth Massage through a Groupon, and let me tell you--CHUY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! During his intake, I shared that I'm a runner training for a marathon and often deal with tight calves and upper body muscles. He immediately understood what my body needed. His technique is both incredibly precise and deeply soothing. I was so impressed that I continued seeing him regularly for the next four months leading up to and after my race. Every session left me feeling renewed, and lighter. On top of that, his pricing is more affordable than anything I've found in the Bay, and the quality of his work is absolutely top-notch. Others have also shared how warm, professional, and genuine Chuy's demeanor is, and I couldn't agree more. Will keep coming back! read more

Love, love, love! Went in for my 2nd massage today and Chuy did not disappoint. Great location for those driving in; parking lot with plenty of parking and easy to find. The place was clean and smelled fresh with gentle scents (not overwhelming or strong). He made sure the pressure was good asking once and keeping a steady amount from that point on. When I realized there was an area that I wanted attention but forgot to mention, he was very receptive to redirecting his flow and focusing where I needed it. I'll definitely continue to book w/ Chuy and have been recommending him to everyone I know who likes getting massages. read more

Jesus (Chuy) at In-Depth Massage gave me one of the best massages I have ever had--and that is saying a lot. I have over 20 years of experience receiving many different types of massage, and his work truly stands out. Before my session, I was dealing with chronic, full-body muscle pain that had been contributing to ongoing insomnia. Jesus took the time to understand what was happening in my body and tailored the session with incredible precision and intention. His knowledge of anatomy, pressure control, and therapeutic technique was immediately apparent. After the massage, I slept deeply and uninterrupted, which is something that had been extremely rare for me. The relief has lasted nearly a full week, which is unheard of in my experience, and my body felt calmer, more balanced, and significantly less painful. If you are looking for genuinely skilled, in-depth bodywork that delivers real, lasting results, I cannot recommend In‑Depth Massage and Jesus highly enough. read more

Chuy has real skills with massaging. My gf and I both got massages and he was our favorite massage therapist we've had in a long time. we found him to be very professional, a great communicator, and worked with a nice table and room. Great experience overall. Highly recommend, we will be back very soon. read more

I just received an amazing deep tissue massage from Jesus. He has a great energy and aura I will return and recommend him highly

Chuy is caring, attentive and joyful. He listens and adapts based on you what you want and uses good, professional technique.

Found this through Groupon. Jesus was a great. I prefer deep tissue massage and he delivered. He checks in with you throughout the massage. Ample parking and both times I was there, there was a security patrol cark parked which made me feel safe. Bathroom was very clean and the room too is very clean with ample space. I was trying to book over the holidays, so it took awhile to get an appointment; but once it was scheduled; all went smoothly. read more

Chuy is AMAZING! He definitely loves his craft, and you can feel it through his work. My neck feels so much better, after my session. read more

I found Chuy through a google search last night and decided to book a morning appointment with him for today. 1) I am a stickler for time and always early and appreciate that he arrived spot on time and parking was not an issue at all. 2) How awesome that he is located less than 4 minutes away from my home. 3) I explained to him my current "isms" and what I've been going through for the past few months and he was very mindful of the work that I needed to get done on this initial visit. 4) He was very gently yet assertive with his techniques and really focused on the areas that I expressed were currently problematic for me. 5) It was my first time cupping and he explained the whole process and let me know what I would/should be feeling. 6) He was able to quickly detect other problem areas and did some good work to loosen those areas for me. I'm looking forward to seeing him next month to continue to target my problematic areas! I also appreciate that he offers packages and from what I've read, he also gives back to the community in regards to a "pay what you can" scale! Healing isn't linear and I am excited to invest more time with Chuy to get my body where it needs to be after all of the stress that it's been through! read more

Two words: HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Jesus gave one of the best deep tissue massages I've ever had, it felt like it made a real difference in relieving muscle tension. He applied the perfect amount of pressure, checked in throughout to make sure it was right, and targeted every single muscle with care. You can really feel his years of expertise. Jesus was respectful and professional, and the space was clean and comfortable. I'll definitely be back! read more

I bought a groupon for in-depth massage and think they deserve all of the business in the world! Jesus (Chuy?) was really professional, paid great detail to the knots on my body, more so than any other massage experience I've had. I usually get Swedish massages, or "relaxation massages", but this was a deep tissue massage which comes with a little discomfort. Think "hurts in a good way", during my massage I thought "dang, I never knew how stiff I was!" The location did throw me off if I had to be honest, In-depth massage shares the same building as a crossfit gym and I think a tattoo shop? But the massage room itself was clean and comfortable. I would be back! read more

Really great massage. I appreciated that he checked that the pressure was ok during the massage- not just at the beginning. Professional and therapeutic. read more

So great! I'll be back regularly! Jesus is a great listener and made me feel very comfortable.

Amazing massage! Jesus really listens then totally tunes in to your body finding and releasing tension you didn't know you had. Recommend 100%. read more

I've gone to Chuy for massage about 4 times now. He is very professional, pleasant and timely, and most importantly, he is highly skilled at his craft. I have a lot of issues (I think I have more areas with issues than not - LOL) and he makes me feel a whole lot better each visit. I always book a 90 minute deep tissue. I highly recommend him if you need a serious massage. The location isn't fancy. Its not a "spa" experience. It's just one room and a waiting area in not a fancy area. However the place has free parking and it's a convenient location. It's clean and the table is heated (if you like). You'll definitely feel better when you leave. It's my regular go to place now. read more

Chuy didn't just give me a massage--he delivered a full-body reset. This was, without question, the best massage I have ever had. I booked a relaxation massage and reached a level of calm I didn't even know was possible. Every movement was intentional, intuitive, and incredibly skilled. Chuy is the perfect combination of masterful technique, professionalism, and affordability. The space felt peaceful, welcoming, and healing from the moment I arrived, and I left feeling brand new. If you are even considering booking a massage with Chuy, do it!! Five stars aren't enough. read more

I don't usually write Yelp reviews, but I felt like I had to this time. I saw a review from another client warning women not to go to him, and since it's a home massage setup, I was definitely skeptical about booking with Jesus. I even brought my husband with me to feel safer. But I'm really glad I went--the massage was fantastic, and Jesus was incredibly kind and professional. I arrived about 5-10 minutes late because I accidentally went to the wrong location, but he was very patient and understanding. Throughout the massage, I could tell he was genuinely focused on finding and working out the knots rather than just going through the motions of a standard 60-minute session. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be coming back! read more

Went here for a deep tissue massage. I had never had a massage before and I was feeling some general back pain. Chewy was great and very respectful, it was a good experience! I ended up doing the year subscription and it's been great so far. read more

Women, DO NOT GO HERE FOR A MASSAGE! Massage therapist asked about giving me a "Sensual Massage" in the middle of our session. I was unrobed and on the table. I don't write reviews often--especially negative ones--but this felt like a serious violation. I want to inform and protect others. On Monday, April 7th, 2025, I went in for my massage scheduled with José "Chuy" at 10:45 am. It was my third session with him and up to this point, I had really enjoyed his work. The massages were professional and well done. He has great technique. I came out of our sessions feeling better. He has a bright and seemingly kind personality. That all changed in this session. As I am unrobed, on the table, with my leg in his hands, he asked if I'd let him give me a sensual massage. I was stunned by this question and felt incredibly uncomfortable. Massage can be tricky because any area of the body can be tight or in need of therapeutic care, including intimate zones and the areas around them. However, the client's comfort and personal boundaries must always be centered. He did not touch my intimate zone but he did edge closer to some areas than he normally has in the past. At the time, I didn't think much of it--until he asked the question and his intentions became clear. He brought up the sensual massage again at the end of the session. When I asked what he meant by "sensual massage," he wouldn't clarify whether it involved touching erogenous zones.This leads me to believe it does involve that touch but he intentionally omitted that information. He also shared that he gets pleasure out of giving pleasure. This is a completely inappropriate comment to make to a client. I am not his partner. I am a client who came in for a therapeutic service. He took advantage of a vulnerable space to center his own desires around my body. I feel highly uncomfortable that this happened. There was no regard for how inappropriate and unethical this was. Many women and people are survivors of boundary violations including sexual violence. There was no awareness of how this kind of request could harm or trigger someone. Let alone, it is not within the ethical guidelines for massage therapists. PERIOD. I do not recommend this practitioner. Massage therapists need to be especially mindful to engage in ethical conduct and respectful communication. Please be safe out there. read more

Jesus is an amazing CMT! He has a warm, friendly demeanor that put me at ease right away. He is adept in finding areas of tension and checks in throughout the session to make sure you're comfortable with the pressure and will adapt accordingly. My body felt so light and relaxed afterwards! Definitely recommend! read more

Chuy is a great guy and great massage therapist. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

This was literally the best massage I've had in a really long time. I was referred to Chuy by a friend of mine who knew I needed someone with really strong hands and who would be super responsive to feedback. He was that and so much more. I'm a dog walker and already had back, neck, shoulder and hip issues prior to starting in the industry and they've only gotten worse since. After just one session I feel significant relief. He checked in regularly in regard to pressure, was mindful with draping and temperature, and asked thoughtful questions to help understand the source of my pain. Chuy also showed me some simple exercises to strengthen areas of my body that get taxed the most when working. I'm recommending him to all of my friends and family. read more

I found In-Depth through Groupon. I figured it wouldn't hurt to find a new place that is priced reasonably and great with deep tissue. I originally had one in Oregon and moving to Cali I haven't had any luck finding the right person. I am sooooo glad I found this place through chance & Groupon! Ever since my first massage, I've signed up for the monthly massage and absolutely love it. Jesus is a wonderful massage therapist and is very personable (which is a ++++ for me!) We talk and laugh throughout the whole massage. He knows exactly how to help with all the issues I have and continues to show me how to stretch. Great guy and great business he's running! read more

Amazing session earlier tonight. I was able to communicate my needs no problem, whether it's the pressure strength or where the pain is coming from, will be coming back again for more. Thanks again for the amazing work that you do! read more

In-Depth Massage - Massage Therapy Near Me - Oakland, California

I went to Jesus with a pretty messed up shoulder and he was the first therapist I've encountered that was willing to spend the majority of the time on a small problem area to help me regain a lot of pain-free motion. Cannot recommend him enough! read more

Wonderful massage!! He was very professional, gentle, attentive and will definitely be back!

Met with Chuy (Jesus) this morning and had another great massage. This is, I believe, my 6th one. I do my best to get one every month with Chuy. I have neck, back and leg issues and always feel much better after a session. I highly recommend booking an appointment with In-Depth Massage. read more

I was so in need of a massage (it's been nearly a year since my last). I wasn't sure where to go so I did a little investigation. I used to go to Renaissance Club Sport (Now the Bay Club). I know folks who regularly go to Massage Envy and I used to think of it as a reasonably priced massage studio. Not anymore...$145 for a massage? nah. I found In-Depth massage and made an appointment. It was reasonably priced and conveniently located and at worst it would feel good, right? It was way more than "at worst." This is the best massage I've had in my life. Second place is not even visible in my rear view mirror. Chuy (chew-y) texted me to confirm our appointment and ask if we could start 15 minutes later than originally schedule. Yes. Not a problem. Points for great communication right off the bat. I arrived on time and Chuy was ready for me. He's got a clean, simple, well-appointed room. He's a nice guy. He asked me what I needed, sought, what my areas of concern were....He left the room so i could disrobe and when I had and was on the table and under the sheet I called for him. WOW. i was blown away. I indicated my desire for a deep tissue massage. Afterward, Chuy confirmed that he was delivering heavy duty deep tissue. It was perfect. Like any other massage we started with me face down, back and shoulders first...left side then right. Lower body, right side then left; flip over; torso, right and left; trunk, left then right. At the end as he was starting on the lower right side of my body i was enjoying the feeling of 3/4 of my body being in a totally relaxed state and knew the final quarter was soon to be completed. When the massage was over he left the room and told me to take my time. I took a few minutes and rose... We talked after and I gave him a few notes...maybe start with trunk first next time and end with upper body? Unconventional, yes. But, he will accommodate. Pressure on upper body was perfect, but perhaps a little less in the trunk. I have a sense that Chuy recorded my ideas. I cannot recommend Chuy any more highly. This is an amazing massage. I shouldn't say this, but his price is crazy reasonable. Now, this is not a spa. There's not a sauna; there's not "lemon water"; there's no floor-length robe with little slippers. This is a massage. Heated table (I asked him to lower the temp and he did immediately). One extra nice touch: He ended by massaging my feet...NICE...and then he put hot wet towels on them. What a way to end. I promise you will not be disappointed. I had a 90 minute massage and it was perfect. I think in the future I'll go for 1 hour but twice as frequently...i dunno...it's hard to improve on perfection. read more

I found Chuy through Groupon. I went in requesting a deep tissue massage and he delivered! He listened to my needs and gave me exactly what I needed. Super personable, he has a nice comfortable space and a great massage therapist! Will definitely see him again! read more

Been going to Jesus for a few months now and there is a noticeable difference in my day-to-day life. I'm a tattoo artist, so my back is always in a state of pain. Working with Jesus has drastically changed my life and I look forward to our sessions every time. read more

I like to wait until I experience a service at least twice before writing a review. I want to make sure the experience and level of service are not flukes either way. The thing I will say about Chuy is his level of service, attention to detail, and effectiveness are all highly consistent and 5 stars across the board. I have found that I am a very difficult client when it comes to massages: very tense, super ticklish, and have a bunch of sensitive areas. I just know there is no way I am an easy massage client. But Chuy handles it all in stride and works through the sensitive areas and ticklishness to offer an amazing and thorough massage. You will never go wrong scheduling an appointment with him! I look forward to my appt every two months! read more

I'll recommend him to every single person in this world. I had the most relaxing 90 minutes of my life with his magical hands and his calm energy. So if you have plan to give yourself a me time and cheer your day/night he is the one you need to contact. Thank you Jesus, I appreciate your professionalism. read more

I hadn't had a massage in a long time and Jesus was amazing! Jesus is very professional, experienced, and knowledgeable. He took the time to really work on my problem areas. The business is located inside the same building as the CrossFit gym. I will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

In-Depth Massage - Massage room - Massage Therapy Near Me - Oakland, California

Received my first ever deep tissue massage from Jesus and it was great! My target areas were my back and shoulders and he really helped the tense areas loosen up and feel more relaxed. During the massage, he also acknowledged which areas were the most stiff. The environment was relaxing and calm. The massage bed was heated which allowed me to feel more comfortable. He also played therapeutic music and made me fall asleep a bit. He was also very nice and I felt like it was easy to talk to him. I definitely will be recommending him to friends and family and also will be coming back every so often. read more

I'm pretty picky as I am a massage therapist as well. But Jesus it amazing at finding all the knots. I likeDEEP tissue and a lot of people are not able to go deep enough in the correct areas. They just go deep everywhere. He knew how to help loosen my tight muscles and relax them at the same time. I'm very impressed. Thank you Jesus for the fantastic massage. read more

Met Jesus today for a 90 minute massage. I love to workout and changed my body through diet. While doing all of this I also went through a spiritual shift. This all created blockage in my physical body. I knew that my lack of desire to workout this week was due to that. The body needed to let go of grief. I was so happy to have met Jesus. He knew exactly where to focus the attention. Jesus asked what i did (hairstylist) and worked on my arms, shoulders and back. It was also the first time I had someone teach me how to breathe into a muscle. It worked! He gave me homework to do before our next appointment. Looking forward to building this therapeutic relationship! read more
