My daughter was in need of a massage and I recommended she go to Kneadz Work. I had read reviews and asked her to make the appointment. She went last night and had her first appointment with Jeremiah. She has chronic pain due to depression, anxiety, and a variety of other health concerns. Jeremiah set the tone by asking what her goals were for her massage, and allowing her to completely feel whatever she needed to feel while he worked on her pain through out her body. She spoke highly of the facility, the staff, and the care that was taken on her visit. I want to thank the staff and Jeremiah for having my daughter in such good hands and care. The trust this establishment cultivated with her was enough for me to know they care. Truly care. I'll be making an appointment for myself in the near future as I myself have fibromyalgia and deal with a great deal of pain myself. read more

I've had plenty of massages before and honestly most of them feel the same...a routine, surface-level experience where they just go through the motions. Lily is the complete opposite of that. She doesn't just massage you. She studies your body while she's working and somehow finds the actual source of the pain, tension, or imbalance instead of just rubbing where it hurts. There have been so many times I walked in with neck pain or lower back tightness, and she traced it back to completely different areas that were causing everything to flare up. That's what separates her from everyone else I've been to. Nothing feels scripted or routine. She tailors every session to exactly what your body needs that day. You can tell she genuinely understands muscle tension and body mechanics on a deeper level than a typical massage place. I see her once a month now and it's become something I genuinely look forward to because I know I'm going to walk out feeling like my body got reset. Not just relaxed for an hour...actually better. This is real therapeutic body work. The kind that makes you realize how much pain and tension you've been carrying around without noticing. read more

Hi, Mr. Larry. Since this interaction with you, the business owner, is by extension an experience I'm having with Kneads Work, I believe it's appropriate to add this updated review: Mr. Larry, I'm going to respond directly to several points because your reply contains contradictions and mischaracterizes what I actually wrote. First, your comment implying that because I fell asleep my recollection is somehow unreliable is both dismissive and contradictory. You state my falling asleep makes it "difficult to determine how much you actually remember," then say you "won't argue that point" after doing just that. It was a nap, Sir, not a coma. Falling asleep during portions of a two-hour massage does not somehow prevent me from accurately assessing the overall pressure, how little time was spent on the areas I specifically requested, or how my body felt when I left. Those are the central issues I raised. Second, you acknowledged that Chris "had been struggling" with pressure calibration during training. That directly validates the primary criticism in my review rather than undermines it. Third, your repeated emphasis that I answered "yes" when asked if things were okay ignores the context I already explained. Yes, I acknowledged I could have been more explicit when Chris asked whether things felt "ok." I took accountability for that. But "ok" is an inherently vague check-in. So given how vaguely that was phrased, I interpreted it as a comfort check, not a technical question about treatment depth. A therapist working with someone who explicitly disclosed thoracic outlet issues should communicate with much greater specificity if pressure depth is being calibrated. You and your past therapists were quite capable of understanding this, Sir. Fourth, I did not indict your entire business. I explicitly referenced positive past experiences and explained that those experiences are exactly why this visit was disappointing. That's honest context, not an attack. Fifth, my pricing criticism was never about transparency. I knew the listed cost. My point was that the service delivered did not justify that cost based on what was requested and what was actually provided. Posted pricing does not exempt a business from value-based criticism. Yes, including how your prices haven't changed for some time, Sir. Asking why I tipped is also not the strong point you seem to think it is. Many people tip out of courtesy, awkwardness, or because disappointment is processed more clearly after leaving. A tip is not automatic evidence of satisfaction. Not sure how questioning me doing a nice thing was worth you pointing it out. Perhaps you can explain the logic behind this. Your suggestion that I should have complained privately instead of posting a public review misunderstands the purpose of public reviews. They exist for clients to honestly document their experiences, positive or negative. Since I'm a paying customer, not your employee, going to yelp to share my experience shouldn't be frowned upon by you. For added context to what I told Chris, when he asked me "how I felt," I specifically said without any abrasive or rude tone, "I don't think you're a bad person at all, I just didn't get the massage I asked for, so I intend to leave a review." As advice, it's actually you that could've reached out (you have my entire contact information) or left a message saying you'd like to rectify this matter and get better understanding of the experience after my review. I never cared for a free massage. Instead, I was more than willing to change my review after you demonstrated any good faith attempt in rectifying this matter. I assumed a business owner as successful as yourself understood how to navigate this sort of issue. Which leads me to my next point. Most concerning was your decision to publicly mention staffing consequences involving Chris. Whether that was meant as explanation or implication, internal personnel decisions are yours alone and should not be framed in a way that attempts to place that burden on a client for leaving honest feedback. Hope you absorb that advice. My original review was detailed, measured, and even acknowledged where I could have communicated more clearly during the session, while expressly avoiding personal attacks. That is accountability on my part. Thank you for illuminating me to the thought process you harbor when confronting unfavorable reviews like mine. It might've been to much to expect a simple acknowledgment that the session missed the mark and that communication broke down on both sides. Instead, much of your response focused on deflecting responsibility, questioning my credibility, and reframing legitimate criticism as "destructive." I stand by my review because it accurately reflects the experience. Hope this removes some of the things that were "difficult to determine." You have my contact if you care to continue this, Sir. Either way, thank you. read more

Amazing Experience! As an avid bowler, I had been experiencing significant pain in my hip, glute, and lower back. After just one visit with Larry, I felt an incredible difference. The relief I experienced was so impressive that I immediately purchased a membership--and I absolutely love it. Initially, I expected a traditional massage, but what I received was a highly personalized therapeutic treatment focused on the specific areas causing me pain. Larry took the time to ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully to my concerns, and tailor the session to my individual needs. What I appreciate most is that at every visit, he genuinely wants to know what's going on and adjusts the treatment accordingly. Larry's professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail are truly exceptional. He creates a comfortable environment, communicates clearly, and demonstrates a genuine commitment to helping his clients feel their best. It's clear that he takes great pride in his work and cares deeply about the results he provides. The entire team is professional, welcoming, and friendly, making every visit a positive experience. Thank you, Larry, for your outstanding care and dedication. I truly appreciate everything you do! -- VB read more

Kneadz Work Rancho Cucamonga, CA RATING: 5 STARS Massagers I've booked with: Miriam Cablayan Amanda Gammon As a 5"3 and 115lb woman, I love every appointment I've ever booked at this massage location. I feel safe and have never felt unseen at this location. Miriam is my day 1 massager, and when she's book I've gone to Amanda. I've been to other massage places where the pressure is light despite asking for medium firm pressure. Other massage places that I've been to seem like they genuinely wanted to get me out as quickly as possible by starting 10 minutes past the appointment time and ending anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes earlier. NOT HERE. Every time I've book I get my moneys worth without even having to ask. I actually have a monthly membership here, and I don't buy memberships. The staff here are experienced, knowledgeable, and attentive. During different appointments, Miriam and Amanda have worked on different areas of my body depending on my requested needs for that month. They're personable and nonjudgmental. I've came here during an extremely bad eczema flare up; not a problem at all, they allowed me to bring my own facial towel because I felt uncomfortable with my skin touching the sheets. You have song requests , they'll play it. You want to sleep during your session go ahead. You want to talk and chit chat you can do that too. You can even bring your own lotion if you prefer a specific one. I can't say enough good things about this location. Worth every penny, I plan on buying gift cards as presents for family members and friends too. I prefer this location over chain massage locations ANY DAY. read more

Kneadz Work - Miriam's room after I finished a massage session with her - Massage Therapy Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

I went in for my first therapy massage, and it was the best experience I've ever had in my life. Lily was the one who assisted with my massage and focused on the areas that needed to be worked out, since I work at a recreation center where I deal with kids. She has magic hands and made those knots disappear . When I first walked in, I also noticed that the staff was very welcoming and the prices were very reasonable, which works for me. Overall, I will come back again. I highly recommend this place and would suggest Lily she's the magic hand lady . read more

My overall experience was really great. I sit a lot at work so I was in desperate need of a massage. I did the aromatherapy massage for 60 minutes and got to keep the bottle of lotion. They put a lot of care and effort in helping me feel better. The office is very cozy too as well as the actual massage room. I love that the beds are preheated. This was my first time and I will be going back. read more

I had a massage scheduled with Miriam!! She is the best. Felt so much better after. Smooth experience.

Came to Cali to visit family and Larry was recommended for my wife. The visit restored her hip mobility and reduced a lot of tighteness and pain. We may have to come back more often and include visits to Larry at Kneadz Work! Thank you, Larry. read more

I'm glad I found this place. As a first-time visitor, I was thoroughly impressed. MIRIAM took her time, focused on the problem areas, and resolved my pain in just one session. She was professional, attentive, and a pleasure to talk to. I'll definitely be signing up for a membership! read more

Based on the reviews alone I found this place to be knowledgeable and great place to send my husband for a massage. I bought him a gift certificate last Valentine's Day. Took him forever to book an appointment. He was seen on 01/26/26. That very next day half his face was numb and the other half was swollen and droopy. When the aftermath didn't subside we decided the hospital was the next step. He went to urgent care and was immediately sent to the ER, ruling out a stroke, however was diagnosed with Bells Palsy. As the focus of my husband's treatment was around his neck, we were told excessive pressure and/or misdirected pressure could cause such an episode. I called the office on 02/02/26 to advise them of the event. I was told to email the owner directly and I would get a response. I emailed the owner Larry that same day, and crickets. No email back. I would think being the owner of an establishment that this complaint would have been handled with much more care and concern. I was wrong. We won't be back. 02/16- The Owner Larry contacted me last night and explained that he did not get word of my call and my email was never received. It was found that his staff did not provide accurate information including his email address. Nor supplied his phone number to me as they are instructed to do so with concerns like my own. He seemed genuinely concerned and will be addressing this matter with his staff. We were provided with a full refund, which was greatly appreciated. He also offered a free session to my husband with him directly. I left the ball in my husband's court to decide if he would like to go back. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! I was dealing with intense sciatic pain & so much pressure in my back. I had been searching everywhere for relief, & as it was getting late & raining, I decided to take a leap of faith & try this place. Let me just say--BEST. DECISION. EVER. I've tried other places in the past, but nothing has come close to this experience. Amanda is incredible! She knew exactly how to move my hips & legs, targeting my psoas & hip area in a way that provided instant relief. I literally felt tingling in my brain from how much tension was released! And the way she maneuvered me--she didn't literally fold me like a pretzel, but I definitely found myself moving in ways I didn't think were physically possible. At one point, I just had to trust the process because I had no idea my body could even bend like that. But wow, it felt amazing. On top of that, she was super nice, & we had a great conversation, which made the experience even better! I know people say that bodywork can make you feel worse before you feel better, & I did experience some soreness the next day. But even with that, I felt so much more mobile & had minimal sciatic pain--just a soreness that actually felt productive, like my body was adjusting. Now, three days post-massage, I'm still a little sore, but wow, I feel amazing. The craziest part? She didn't even focus on my neck or shoulders, & yet I feel so much less tense overall! I can't even imagine how great I'll feel when she works on the areas I didn't even realize needed attention. This experience was truly life-changing. Amanda made me feel so comfortable, & I'm beyond happy right now. I'm definitely signing up for a membership because there's no way I'm going anywhere else. If you're on the fence--just go. You won't regret it! read more

First of all my masseuse Monakia greeted me at the door and walked me through the health screening which was a nice touch. Customer service was excellent and she really took her time on my problematic areas. Even tried out a few different techniques to see which one my body best responded to. Definitely felt a release of tension at the end of the session and will be coming back again and again! Oh did I mention it's black owned as well! Highly recommended!!! read more

Kneadz Work provides more than massages. I went with the expectation of getting relief from my back pain flare up with a massage. It quickly became more. For my back pain I plan to incorporate Kneadz Work into my maintenance. Excited about this gem! Julius is knowledgeable and knows his equipment! read more

Jessica is an AMAZING therapist. She listens to you, is amazing with her techniques and reasoning, and is overall very knowledgeable. Her passion for this field is unmatched. I know my body always feels better after she fine tunes me (haha). She also provides me with home programs which I love! Kneadz Work is very lucky to have her (as are her clients). read more

I woke up with really bad pain in my shoulder blade area and was able to book same day with Diane. She got my pain from a 9/0 to a 5/10. She helped me understand the muscle that was giving me trouble and was really sweet and listened to me in the beginning, during and end of my session. I listened to her advice about sleeping position too. It was a great experience for my first time. Thank you Diane! read more

Monakia is the SWEETEST and best lymphatic masseuse out there! She always makes sure to explain everything thoroughly and helps me feel so relaxed. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lymphatic massage or massage in general Thank you so much, Monakia!!! read more

I messed up my upper back over 6-months ago. Chiropractic didn't help, and I'm sure a doctor would have said I need some surgical intervention. Marcus Carver used those magic hands of his to unglue every messed up muscle and tendon in my body. In one session, I was back to 85% normal capacity and after three sessions I was almost back to 100%. Marcus knows his stuff. If you have pain or something out of place, make an effort to give Marcus at Kneadz Work a try before more drastic solutions. Worth every penny. read more

This place has literally changed my life!! I've been consistently going to Kneadz Work for over a year now. From the very first day I walked in that office after work and in a lot of pain I was barely hopeful that I would find some relief,, but relief was an understatement!! For years I had suffered from chronically tight painful muscles that had contributed to my poor quality of life for years! My very first session with Julius left me feeling brand new! I went to work the very next day and everybody asked me what I had done that made such an impact on my pain? Since that day I have been telling everyone I know about this place and the effect it has had on my life. More recently I tried a newer service modality that they offer called the "rapid release" and I didn't think I could experience another level of relief but this gadget works like magic! I could not believe how fast I experienced the relief of pain immediately after it was done! It felt great and the relief lasted for a full week after my very first session! The rapid release is definitely a game changer in the world of chronic tight muscle problems and pain. I absolutely loved it. Shout out to my team of massage therapist's who have contributed to my amazing recovery! Julius, Taylor, Kianis and Maggie! My lifesavers! I truly appreciate all you have done for me!

Monakia is wonderful, very calming presence and experienced! Her lymphatic massages are amazing for post lipo surgery. Would recommend her for post op maintenance read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone. I signed up as a member and wanted to cancel today. When they first signed me up they never told me that I can't cancel unless it's on the 15th of each month. I emailed today to cancel. But they want to make me email them again to cancel on the 15th because they only allow cancellations for the 15th. Not good and not worth it. read more

I've been going to Kneadz work for my sports massage needs for a while and if you're looking for QUALITY work from hands that KNOW where muscles are and how to relieve any pain/tightness/discomfort you're experiencing .... THIS. IS. THE. PLACE. TO GO. I've had work done by Monakia and Jessica and these girls are not only super knowledgeable but also super caring! They approach you as a client but also as a caring human being. They listen to your needs and address it FULLY! I've been coming to Monakia for work on my low back /glutes and everytime I leave... it feels like my low back has released! which as a powerlifter, these are always tight. I recently just had work done by Jessica on my painful right shoulder: scapula/Lats and I was mind blown!! She really is a specialist! my upper traps / lats had claws digging into me and by the time I walked out I was able to lift my arms over head without tightness or pain! (Jessica had an amazing positive playlist) They're always on time and the check in/check out process is easy and fast! :) read more

Would have preferred the massage that I requested on when I booked the appointment. Was told they needed to use tools and give me a different massage. The massage fixed the problem the same but was 20 more and less relaxing. read more

I have come in to see Lily about 4x now. After every visit with her I notice more positive changes in my cervical muscles. I have a preliminary diagnosis of occipital neuralgia and in working with Lily I have noticed improvements in range of motion, less brain fog, and headaches. I really want to avoid injections so coming for a massage was a more holistic approach. Lily knows the body well and my body thanks her for it. Besides the physical results, Lily makes me feel at ease with her warm and friendly personality, she listens to my concerns, and takes into consideration maneuvers I think my body needs. I have come in the evening hours and I love the warm lighting of the office. It gives it a cozy feel. read more

Amazing service! After moving to a new area I was sad that I would no longer be near my massage therapist. I found Kneadz Works based on reviews and I'm glad I did! They have a membership model for those who get regular massages and they have specialty services like cupping and scraping. They also have great availability and I've never had trouble finding a spot that fits around my work schedule. read more

If you're in need of a message I highly recommend you give this place a try. I've been on 3 different occasions and feel so much better after each session with Maria. She has so much knowledge and different techniques to help with what ever I need. read more

Left worse than when coming in. I was suckered big time. When scheduled the appointment it was $90 for one hour when checked out it was $130. Don't be a sucker like me. If there was less than a one star will do it. Larry, it's not about the money, it's more about integrity, if you know what that means. This not my second time, I already cancelled my first time by leaving a message, which none of your employees bothered to return my call or leave a message to reschedule. I had to call again the next day to reschedule. Your office manager is the person (Rose) who quoted me the $90. I am sure you don't expect customers to come to your lobby to read the bold letters on your board then schedule an appointment. Big mistake on my part. Never never again. read more

Absolutely loved my experience here. To start, their hours are great-they are open a lot later than most places. Check in process was very simple and quick! Amanda took me in right away walked me through my options and made me feel super comfortable. Amanda made sure to hear my concerns out, really focused on my trouble areas and made sure I was comfortable 100% of the time. I walked out feeling amazing! read more

I have been here over a year, today was my first time with a new therapist for 70 mins massage. I was disappointed with the procedure. Not trying the compared with what I had before from other therapist, but if I paid the same amount of fee I supposed felt the similarity of the result or I feel I deserve the same quality of service just like what I have before. And I paid extra fee for the cupping, and I felt nothing. read more

My husband and I were due for a massage so we headed to Kneadz Work this week. He has been before and had nothing but great things to say so I was looking forward to our visit. His massage therapist was Rick and mine was Kia. He mentioned Rick did a great job and it was just what he needed to alleviate some tension and pain, especially in his back. Kia was very friendly, knowledgeable, and provided a great massage. I hold a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders so she focused on getting out my knots, and boy did she do a great job! Kia made my session very enjoyable as she is easygoing and comfortable to talk to, especially as I had questions during my massage. The pressure was just right and the knots and tension in my neck/shoulders definitely subsided a lot after the massage. Both my hubby and I slept so well after we got home... I definitely woke up to some soreness in the target areas but that's totally normal. I look forward to returning for a longer session and to target other problem areas. Kneadz Work is truly a cut above the rest. Friendly staff, skilled massage therapists, clean and relaxing space, and competitive pricing! What more could you ask for? If you're in the market for a great massage, don't sleep on Kneadz Work. read more

I have been coming to Amanda for almost a year now and am always impressed! She is incredibly attentive, takes the time to understand my specific needs and areas of tension and always knows exactly what to do to ensure I leave feeling 1000x's better. She helped me a lot with my back and neck pain and for the past 9 months she has made my pregnancy so much better. She is nothing short of miraculous!!

I had been looking for a more therapeutic massage provider for a while when I found Kneadz Work on YELP. I made an appointment with Amanda and had high hopes that she could help me with my neck and arm issues. I was not disappointed! I left my first appointment feeling better than I had after numerous physical therapy sessions. Amanda really listened to me about what my problems were, and I was impressed with her knowledge and skills. I am returning for my third massage this week and I can't wait. I do wish they had a location closer to me maybe in the OC. read more

Just before I found out I was pregnant, I had booked a massage online based on the 5 star reviews. The day I found out happened to be the day of my appointment, so I was bummed I couldn't get my much needed massage! The main appeal for me was that they offered deep tissue and cupping services. Luckily, the staff here is accommodating and friendly, so they canceled my appointment without issue. Fast forward to my 2nd trimester and I booked my first prenatal massage with Rik, which was recommended by both the staff and my doctor as the 1st trimester is considered high risk. I have gotten a prenatal massage before and my experience here exceeded my high expectations. The staff is warm and welcoming from beginning to end. I arrived 15 minutes to my first appointment to fill out the necessary paperwork. While doing so, I was offered water and made to feel comfortable. Within a few moments, I was introduced to Rik and walked over to the spaceous massage room. I must say the space is so clean - and that alone was relaxing for me, especially nowadays. Rik consulted with me regarding any pain and my target areas, acknowledging my pregnancy as well as the amount of pressure that can be safely used. I felt safe and comfortable knowing I was in good care. That first massage was so awesome, I booked another right there and then...which led to this review following my second visit! I've already made another appointment for next month and look forward to it very much. The professionalism and quality of care provided by the staff, as well as the space and services offered makes this place 5 stars in my book. For me, the price is well worth the experience. I love that I am supporting individuals in their craft versus a franchise, as I feel that is reflected in the entire atmosphere. I look forward to many more visits! read more

I pinched a muscle in my shoulder blade last October doing something pretty basic. I thought it would subside in a couple of days like it's done in the past. But it didn't. In fact it got worse. Between my working on my laptop, poor posture, and other repetitive motions, it got to the point where I was in pain to sit at a table. I went to my chiropractor 2-3 times a week for 6 weeks, getting relief that lasted for a day or so. It was the last week of March when I went to my primary care physician and was diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome and her recommendation was deep tissue massages and highly recommended Kneadz Work, as she is a client there. I was able to secure an appointment that evening with Monakia and had some relief after just one visit. Since then I've been going every 2-3 weeks for deep tissue massages with Monakia and it's been in the last 3 weeks that I have seen the most improvement and almost feel back to 100% normal!! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience at Kneadz Work. The facility is calm and relaxing, and clean. Monakia is absolutely amazing and I am beyond thankful for the gift she has of working out knots and tension and for getting me on the road to complete recovery. She is professional, she is compassionate, she is friendly, and she is knowledgeable. I will forever be grateful for Monakia and Kneadz Work and I cannot recommended them enough. read more

Today was my third visit here and I came in for a 30 minute with Jessica. How are there not more reviews for her?! She may be small but she's mighty! Came in today with extreme soreness & tightness in my neck and shoulders. After my massage with Jessica I am feeling SO much better. Thank you! read more

Great service! I came in to see Jessica with extreme forearm, elbow, shoulder, and neck pain. I'm on my second visit, and boy, do I feel the difference. Not only did I feel great leaving the appointment, but my workouts have been great. Migranes, due to so much neck tension, are gone, and that alone is a game changer. Can't thank her enough. read more

Jessica Cervantes is my therapist and she is absolutely amazing! She has an amazing depth to her knowledge on how to treat muscle soreness, injuries, tightness and even just discomfort. She's helped me prep for my spartan races and recover from my over training injuries! Her work with tools is as exceptional as her work with her hands! She's also amazing at working in varying degrees of pressure and I've never walked away feeling like she's given too little or too much. I recommend her to all of my clients as well! My best advice is to also follow her guidance on post treatment strategies to make the most of her time and your money! Enjoy! read more
