Kay Foot Acupressure is AMAZING! I have been coming here for years and have no problem driving from Oakland to get there. It is worth it. I injured my back and went to my doctor, the ER and a chiropractor and no one was able to help me until I went to Kay Foot Acupressure. When I went in I was unable to stand up straight and two hours later I was completely upright for the first time in weeks. I am a customer for life. read more

Good deal in San Anselmo. (Never thought I would say that) $40 for a 1 hour chair massage that spends most of the time on your feet, shoulders, arms, hands, and a little in between. They call it acupressure because... I don't really know why. Pressure points? Sure, but it's closer to a reflexology session. Another plus is their responsiveness. No need to sign up way in advance. They are always open and willing to fit you in as long as you give them a few hours heads up. Sometimes, not even that. I've gone 5-6 times by now because I took advantage of... ...the really good deal! If you live in the area, invest in the 10 ticket purchase. Sure, it's $300, but do the math, people! It's now just $30! For an hour! And you get to give an awesome gift to your friends. Especially your Yelp friends like Bob G. of San Rafael. Do your feet a favor. Go there. Go there now. read more

i just had a massage here with fantastic massage therapist named Ay (please forgive the spelling, it's pronounced "ay" like in "bay"). I came in with a terrible knot in my shoulder...one that had made its permanent residence in my right trapezius muscle. It hurt my neck to turn in any direction and hurt even worse to sit at my computer and work. For the last few months, I had simply decided I would live with it since I had been unable to get relief from any method (I had gotten several massages, visited a chiropractor and stretched until my head almost fell off). No more! Ay worked on that muscle until I actually felt the knot break apart. I have never experienced that before. Awesome! My shoulder feels loose, painless (aside from a bit of soreness from the intense massage) and I am vowing never to sit for hours on end in front of my computer. Except to write reviews, of course. I got the feeling from Ay that he was really dedicated to the art of healing. He zeroed in on my tight muscles and really worked at it, even putting in extra time to accommodate my stubborn trap muscle. Some quick info about Bay Thai: - Open 7 days a week from 10am. They take their last customer at 6pm. - Cash only! - This is a clothes-on massage, so wear something comfortable. You'll be seated in a recliner-like chair and have your feet soaked in a tub of warm water. They do use stuff like Tiger Balm and massage cream, so maybe wear a tank-top and loose-ish sweatpants. - 1 hour massage is now $39.99. 1.5 hour massage is $60. Tip well! - They can typically fit you in on short notice, especially on weekdays. - Like some of the other reviewers said, this isn't a Thai massage place. It's more like Chinese massage with a Swedish mother and a Thai uncle. I'm not sure how that makes sense. Go enjoy a stellar massage! read more

How do you rate acupressure? Let alone acupressure that is really reflexology passed on as acupressure of the feet? Let alone that Zoku Shin Do, as it is often called, originated in China and has nothing to do with Thailand. It doesn't detract from the experience, frankly, as the master there is a man named Zhung (John) who is, consequently, from China. Well, for starters, I can say that this place gives GREAT hour-long foot massages for $35, which is a remarkable price for anyone to do anything to you for an hour. I've had hour long massages that cost $135 that have left me feeling violated and/or ripped off. For $35, I left feeling somewhat guilty that perhaps I'd somehow taken advantage of them. (To ease my conscience, I tipped well.) Was it painful? Reflexology can be extremely painful, in fact, I've often heard that the more painful the experience, the more you're getting out of it. My experience was unpleasant at times, bordering on excruciating, but I never had to bite into anything to ebb the pain. I figured that if I wasn't writhing in pain, then either I was not in need of that much help, or my acupressurist wasn't giving me the full treatment. In fact, John was being sensitive to my pain tolerance, which was warmly appreciated. After grinding on sensitive areas, he would often rub the spot to soothe the after effects. My right foot was clearly more sensitive than my left, so John, being the expert that he is, sensed this and devoted about 2x as much time to working on my right foot. By the end of the session, neither of my feet had sensitive areas - both were equally as sensitive to the touch. John knows what he's doing and he's a very capable Zoku Shin Do adept. Why only 4 stars? Because I wasn't wobbly when I left. I can recall a handful of massage, acupressure or acupuncture experiences in my lifetime wherein I've walked away feeling wobbly at the knees. This was not one of them. Could it improve with time and familiarity with the process? I hope so, and I'm perfectly willing to update my review accordingly. In the meantime, I'll give relatively high marks to an establishment that is using marketing tactics to introduce the public to a form of physical therapy that deserves to be explored and experienced more fully. Does it have anything to do with Thailand? Well, the owner thanked me with the Thai form of "thank you" but that was about it. If I were them, I'd revamp their business cards (and get rid of the heinous picture of the foot that is featured on it) and call a spade a spade and stick to the authentic roots of this technique. It's Chinese - and it's all about Qi, and no amount of Thai decorations or adornments are going to change that. Still, I'm glad they're bringing a much needed form of physical therapy to my hood, and they can call it the Chattanooga Foot Fetish for all I care so long as they continue to offer such a great service for $35 an hour. Kop khun khrap. read more

I went there yesterday morning with my man. We got 2hrs each for $150. I gave them $200. Awesome massage. I saw Kay and even though she has been doing masage for only 2yrs, she was really good. I laughed, I cried I gave her a big hug. I was looking for thai massage in SR and this place came up. It was definitely not a thai massage at all. Hence, the name change to Kay's acupressure. It was an acupressure/deep tissue massage. I can't believe they only charge $40 per hr. Highly recommended and I will be back. T said his massage was refreshing, invigorating and left him feeling very peaceful the rest of the day. *sigh* read more

Kay and Gail are true healers! I love them like my mother! I have been coming here for years but lost track because of COVID. I didn't realize that they moved! Kay Foot Acupressure is now located at 6 Red Hill Avenue, San Anselmo CA 94960 read more

I love this place! I have gone here twice and had an outstanding massage both times.I have had many kinds of massage in Marin & in Thailand,the massage here is great and its just as good if not better than the pricey ones.The vibe is really nice in here.The people are friendly just like in Thailand.When I left both times I felt a million times better than when I came in.If you have been to Thailand you might suddenly be transported back to those sunsets on the beach.I left rejuvenated and happy . read more

I LOVE Kay Foot Accupressure, amazing massage and affordable! They have four therapist's, all different and wonderful. I love these great ladies and their work.... Thank you all sooo much!!! MaryBeth read more

$50 cash for an hour long massage is a great deal! If you have reasonable expectations on what that gets you, you will be happy. I went in with a great deal of tension in my neck/shoulders and left feeling very relaxed. You will get extra attention on your feet and calves, as I suppose that that is what they are known for. You also get the hot towel treatment, which I was not expecting for the money. I was accommodated within 15 minutes of calling, and greeted warmly on arrival. Kay was my massage therapist and she did an excellent job. I will definitely be back. read more

We found you online and were very satisfied by the one hour massage we received. I will be back. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

Kay is the best....let me count the ways! * Buy a 10 pack and get a deep tissue massage for only $35 an hour. WOW!!!! * Call and get in the same day * Go back frequently and she remembers areas of knots, sensitivity, etc * The warm foot bath - ahhhhh! * The warm wet towels to wipe off the oil so you aren't all gunky * She can provide just what you need - be you a pregnant mom who needs some serious foot love, to an Olympic-level big huge leg biker dude, to everyone in between * She's friendly, welcoming and understands that a business is built on great service, value and great people I have referred countless people and they all have been impressed. WARNING: At $35 an hour you may become addicted.... read more

I've been going to (what is now) Kay Foot Accupressure for years! It is the best value massage in Marin County. Friendly people, talented massage therapists. When you go, it's good to know that the massage is in a fully reclining overstuffed chair, so it's not your traditional table massage. Even though in a reclining chair, all the body parts that are touched in a table massage are worked as well. I love Kay and Gail! read more

After a week long business trip to the East Coast, I went to Bay Thai Acupressure foot massage and found the place to both comfortable and relaxing. The sound of the "waterfall" made the foot massage more relaxing. I can honestly say that after the one hour session was over, I was completely relaxed and stress free. The hour long session was $35.00. This is well below the prices that are charged in salons and other massage centers. Their prices range from $50-$60 dollars. For quality service that's affordable, comfortable and relaxing you cannot go wrong with Bay Thai Acupressure. If you never had a foot massage, I suggest you give Bay Thai a try. What can you lose? Only your stress. read more

Love love love this place. Inexpensive, fantastic, high quality body work. I can usually get a massage within a couple hours of calling! Perfect for spontaneous self care after a stressful day of work. read more

Idk what everyone else is talking about but my massage was not even a little bit good. Her name was Gayle from what I heard and she's a nice lady with good intent but her massages are all over the place, mechanical, quick rubbing; apparently not certified and her fingers smelled like garlic. Not relaxing at all. It was hasty the whole time which stresses me out even more thinking about how bad the massage was. She got the pressure down right but skills need to be sharpened badly. Would've gone for an hour but stopped at 20 min... still charged me for 30. read more

Very good, professional service. They really give a full body massage, so the next time I go I will ask them to spend more time on the feet.

What I find!! The $40 1hr massage is a steal. Not knowing much about acupressure, the best I can describe this massage is like a combination between Thai and Swedish, with an emphasis on the feet. The people are super friendly and will make you feel relaxed as soon as you walk in the door. The space itself really transports you to that "spa" state of mind as there are so many lovely aesthetic touches. Top it all off with tea at the end and you have a full spa experience at a VERY affordable price! I plan to come back often!! read more

Great place! You sit in a chair and the massage consists of your scalp, your neck, your arms and your feet. No torso or legs like western massages. The price is VERY reasonable and you can buy a 10 package which brings the massages down to I think $30 each! They sue this great minty kind of cream for your head and neck that is fantastic. I love this place especially given my tighter budget. read more

I love this place! It is $40 for an hour massage, less if you buy 10 gift cards. These massagers mean business! I got so fed up with massage places that took time to place a finger tip on my forehead and breathe for 5 minutes. It felt like a rip-off. At Kay's you get a full hour of deep tissue massage. It's not like traditional massage places in that you don't fully disrobe and there's only a curtain seperating you from the main room. I will never stop giving this place business. They are amazing! read more

I have been going here since it opened but last week was my first less-than-great experience. The masseuse used way too much elbow and quick/sharp/pinching/digging motion instead of steady, smooth strokes. Even when I asked for MEDIUM pressure instead of STRONG, it was too rough. I also usually let them know that I'd like a lot of attention to my feet and not that much on my neck or lower back, and I forgot to mention that this time, so I can't fault her for spending very little time on my feet (less than 10 minutes total). Also, when the phone rang, my masseuse stopped my massage to answer it and take down an appointment for later in the week which was a little disruptive. I'm not very very demanding and appreciate that the pricing here is a great value, but I just didn't have a great experience this time. read more

IMPORTANT- yelp map shows this hidden gem on the wrong end of SFDB! It's actually across the street from Red Hill Shopping Center, NOT x College Ave! They were nice enough to wait for me & even gave me the full hour (5 min late because of the bad directions) even tho I was the last massage of the day! Definitely go here, best massage I've had in a long time! Not very often do I get that wobbly knee feeling but this is one of the few. Not a fancy-pants spa-type of place, it's small, but the massage is off the hook! And you certainly can't beat the price, $40 for a full hour?! Tip well, they earn it! I just found my new fav massage spot! (Near constant back pain so I've tried A LOT of masseuses) Give them a try you won't be disappointed! Just don't use yelp map to find it ;)' PS- the new name is Kay Foot Accupressure read more

What a fantastic find! The owner, Kay, is a gifted masseuse. She found all of my knots and skillfully untangled them. The office is immaculately clean with tasteful decorations. The room was peaceful and serene!! Already booked my next visit for tomorrow. Located across from Red Hill Shopping Center. Thank you, Kay! read more
