Always the best service most caring and knowledgeable staff simply unbeatable buy certificates or get a plan either way its worth it been a regular for 5 years cant live without it!!! read more

This place is amazing. It's unapologetically no frills, which means you get pure focus on whatever your body needs -- I've gone in with various injuries from running too much and they've helped me get better every time! read more

Just came in a second time here and it was even better this time around! Chelsea was awesome and she's going to be my new go-to massage therapist going forward. Also, their membership deal is quite good and their gift card deal is really good (currently it's buy 3 massage gift cards, get 1 free -- which makes the per-massage price really good!). read more

This place is amazing. I have the membership so I can come get a much needed massage monthly. Isa Chalamet I swear has magical powers. Every time I come to see her she helps get me right where I need to be and is always kind and professional. I highly recommend booking with her if you need some TLC for your body read more

The best massage I had in a very long time! Very professional and knowledgeable, I highly recommend!

I worked with Paul for the second time, and this time he helped me loosen an injury to my arm/shoulder area. It hurt like hell during, but afterwards, I was able to reach for my seatbelt (a slight backward reach) without as much pain, so I know he did something great. Thank you for what you do, that you do so well! read more

I cannot rave enough about Marcíal at Loosen Up Bodywork, WC. He is skilled in myofascial and drainage (my needs), plus deep tissue and prenatal massage, among others. I have fought fibromyalgia, joint failures, and disautonomia for 30 years and been to many practitioners and tried most therapies. Nothing compares to Marcíal. I slept 10 hours the night of my last treatment! (For anyone not familiar with drainage massage, it involves light pressure on the surface which moves the lymph into its drainage channels and is very helpful for inflammatory issues, like FM or healing from surgery/injuries.) Marcíal's healing hands know just how much pressure to use and where, to the very edge between pain and relief. They actually begin to radiate energy during the massage! Plus he is a font of knowledge about traditional plant medicine and freely shares his varied life experiences, and an extremely kind and loving pe The ticket packages provide a considerable savings, and the staff is your helpful friend to make the experience as relaxing as possible. read more

Thanks to a Christmas gift certificate from our daughter, we finally booked our massages. Hubby really needed this after major back surgery last year. Well on his path to recovery we finally had our first visit. My masseuse, Abe, was fantastic. He found all the nooks and crannies where my muscles were tight outside of the areas I had mentioned. The pressure was firm and I felt it in a good way. You gotta put pressure on those knots to work then out. He would have liked to work on me for 90 minutes but there was another appointment after me. Darn it! So, I have booked a return in a month because self care is important. Hubby liked how massage. Because of his back issues, folks are more cautious with the pressure they apply. He just needs to speak up more. They have a membership program that gives you a monthly discount. Will definitely consider. Location is convenient and easy parking. Calm setting before, during and after the massage. Maybe because of COVID there is no quiet place to wind down post massage like in a spa. read more

Marcial took such good care of me while I recovered from an abdominoplasty. I was so sore and swollen, with surgical drains and limited mobility. He helped me with my compression garment, propped up a bunch of pillows so I could lay comfortably on the table, and did a thorough lymphatic drainage massage every few days post-op as directed by my surgeon. He's very attentive and kind and has become a great friend. Highly recommend! The office staff is wonderful too. read more

If you need real work (not a spa treatment) I highly recommend coming here. The boss is amazing and an exceptional massage therapist. The staff is skilled. Lynell (front desk manager) is the sweetest person I've ever met. Walk out of here on a cloud feeling like actual work has been done. Would recommend for anyone. The massages could be tailored to your needs. read more

Oh man. These guys kicked my butt, in a hurt so good kind of way. I scheduled relatively last minute as I've had some terrible shoulder pain that literally decades of intervention have done nothing for besides massage. I came here after searching "myofascial massage" and they showed up. My massage therapist (I forget hr name, I'm sorry) listened to me and was exceedingly professional and thorough. She gave super deep pressure, and after my massage was over, was able to show me stretches and exercises to help strengthen where I was weak. A bit pricey, but I think it's pretty standard for the level of service and the area. I already have another massage scheduled. read more

I had a massage with Jacki on 2/1/25. I had shoulder surgery last May and she worked my shoulder in a way that I can't say how but I can't even tell I've had surgery. She works magic. I'm able to move my shoulder more and not have pain. Also, the overall massage was amazing. She made me feel really comfortable. I just had foot surgery so I'll be back soon to have my shoulder worked again and maybe my foot when it heals. LN read more

The therapists always do exactly what is really needed. On my last visit, my right hip was worked on and the pain has been gone for days now, and I was given an exercise to do for maintaining it. The pain on the side of my foot was taken care of also. read more

I had Marcial for the first time and he was great. He helped relieve the tightness on my shoulders and lower back. I would have him again as therapist. Highly recommended. read more

I had the best experience here with Marcial. I have had chronic pain since last year dealing with stage 3 endometriosis. I have been on pain meds and seeing specialist. I have a bit of a fear letting people touch my body with all I've been through. Marcial was an angel. He worked on my whole body and listened to what has been going on with me. He helped me physically and emotionally. I haven't felt this good in 6 months. I will forever go to him probably every 2-3 weeks. Highly highly recommend especially if you have given up on finding relief for yourself. read more

Gina runs a great massage therapy practice. Visited once and signed up for a monthly membership right after my massage. It was high quality. The staff is friendly, location is great. Parking is available too. Highly recommend. read more

Just got an amazing massage from Valerie. She really took the time to understand what was going on with my shoulder and I feel so much better. Very impressed with her skill, a powerful combination of technical ability and intuition. I will definitely be back. read more

Before moving to the Bay Area I had constantly been in pain, looking for a massage therapist/therapists that really understood how to address the pain I have in my back. After much searching I found Loosen Up Bodywork and have finally found the place that knows how to address my issues. I am not a "spa massage" type of client and specifically go for trigger point and myofascial therapy. Currently I always go to Gina and Paul who are both spectacular! Also a shoutout to their wonderful front office, Lynell and Chris. read more

This is a great place to go if you want to take care of yourself. Their expert masseuse, Claudia in the Danville location, really knew what she was doing and also had great tips on taking care of myself on my own. You can also get a monthly membership for a reduced price, which you can share with your family members and which accumulate if not used. I will go back for sure! read more

Great deep tissue sports massage by Marcial. I've had low back issues for years and was recommended to add this to my chiropractic routine and it has been a game changer!! The massage sessions keeps me moving, reduces muscle spasms, and I don't feel the pulling on my lower back. Marcial's great at knowing what other connecting muscles/tissue to work on that will alleviate the areas that are in pain or aggravated. I just let him know what I may be feeling since my last visit. Add this to your routine as preventative care and avoid the flareups. I haven't had once since I started going which has been around a year now. My back or hips used to get stuck multiple times a year. I recommend doing 90min sessions instead of 60min to get the most benefit. the 60mins goes by so quick once you get relaxed and into the deep work the time seems to be up lol. Also, I signed up for their recurring customer program which makes it super easy, they just auto bill me each month. The front desk staff is always friendly and easy to work with for scheduling and I love their text notifications so I never forget or makes it easy to reschedule if something comes up. Hope this helps! read more

Highly recommend Marcial! After one massage session, my severe shoulder and neck pain decreased and I don't live everyday in chronic pain anymore. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. I will keep going back! read more

Leaving this review as I don't see many for prenatal massages and this was the best I've had. I've had several prenatal massages during my pregnancy and while they were all good, they didn't work the areas I specified as having problems with. I got carpal tunnel during this pregnancy, super tight IT Bands from years of being an athlete, and extreme shoulder pain that was so bad I couldn't lay down for more than 15 minutes. I worked with Paul who was able to target these areas safely for me and my baby. He knew the pressure points to avoid sending me into labor which was something I was concerned about (I'm 34 weeks). Pressure was excellent and he explained what he was doing and why it would help the entire time. My IT Bands are unrelated to pregnancy so I'll definitely be coming back to have them worked on. read more

I started going to Loosen Up for massage around 11 weeks ago on the recommendation of my physical therapist. I had knee replacement 4 months ago and had developed an awful case of ITBS (IT Band Syndrome) post surgery. So bad I could barely walk 2-3 blocks without having to turn around and go elevate and ice. I really wanted someone knowledgeable about the type of surgery I had gone though and who could help me with massage as other treatments like foam rolling were not an option at my recovery stage. Paul has absolutely 100% changed the trajectory of my recovery. To the point that 11 weeks later from my first appointment I am walking the dog 2-3x a week about 3 miles each day and am back to playing Pickleball. My walk is also finally back to looking normal as well. Paul pointed out that I was pushing my leg with my back muscles instead of using my quad when I walked and now that I am really focusing on flexing that muscle it made all of the difference in my gait. Still not fully recovered, takes about a year for that but I really do feel like I have some quality of life back and I'm SO thankful to Paul and this facility for helping me get there. Front office was really great as well and I appreciated the pricing flexibility of packages vs. membership, etc. They really do have options for everyone. read more

Thanks to Lily Afzali after many years of chronic shoulder and neck pain I learned that I don't have to live with it. She's fantastic!

I've been trying to get a good massage for a long time now and it has just not materialized until I found this establishment. The facility was clean, well-equipped, and my masseuse, Marcial, was kind, careful and, overall just excellent; I walked out feeling renewed and immediately scheduled another visit. read more

Paul Grier is very skilled and knowledgeable - in 60 minutes he untangled knots in my neck, shoulders, back and hips that had been tightly wound for years. Thank you and I will see you again soon! read more

Got worked on by Abe. Very knowledgeable CMT, he worked on areas your many therapists would just gloss over. Pressure was spot on the entire time, and I generally like the stronger pressure. I'm a CMT of 12 years myself, and I would definitely go back. Great job Abe read more

I feel like they are miracle healers. I recently hurt myself deadlifting, but after a treatment here you feel like the injury is not even there. Acupuncture , Chiropractic , Physical Therapy all offered little to no relief to alleviate the pain. I came into here and they loosened up the muscles and explained the connection to why I keep hurting my back. read more

My neck and shoulders are back to what they used to be 10 years ago thanks to Abe! Highly recommend the deep tissue massage.

Have been seeing Krystal for close to two years now, she is nothing short of amazing!!! Have seen other therapists and all have been great! Gina is obviously very interested in training her therapist's to be the best at what they do and it shows! Give it a try! read more

***BE ADVISED*** I haven't had a consumer experience this poor in quite some time. Let me open by saying that I was simply requesting clarification on the company's Disclaimer of Liability (which I would encourage any new OR existing client to actually read. The verbiage states that by signing, you are completely absolving the company of ANY liability INCLUDING negligence! This company even offers Prenatal Services, which would mean if something happened to your baby while they were treating you, you would have absolutely no recourse if you signed their intake form. Their employee Chris openly admitted in front of the other member of staff that he had never read the forms, and "no one else has either". They proceeded to call the owner Gina, and when I spoke with her on speaker in front of her employees, she couldn't explain the document either. Rather than apologize for my concern, she said "look our lawyers drafted this and they said it's legit so you can either sign it or not, we don't force people to do anything". I had high hopes for this place due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews, however, it just wasn't the case for me. I left feeling belittled, and chastised simply for being concerned for my well being. Thanks guys read more

I highly recommend Loosen Up Bodywork to all athletes & sports-centric individuals. After looking for a high-level massage therapist to improve athletic performance for several years, I connected with Pepper Williams. Pepper is a true body mechanic, and went above & beyond during our sessions. I've recommended Pepper to close friends & would highly recommend requesting a session with her. We've done Cupping therapy, Gua Sha therapy, Deep Tissue work, and Muscle-Specific massage. I've seen an immediate difference in blood flow & range of motion during workouts after our sessions together. read more

Awesome work with Rachel, Christina and Amy. Each had their own style and each one did excellent work. They all understood my injury and worked to specifically help my recovery. This is truly professional sports massage! read more

Marcial is an excellent massage therapist. His vast knowledge enables him to work wonders in helping you to release constricted muscles thus enabling you to move with greater ease, releasing tension and leaving you with a wonderful sense of well-being. Marcial has helped me unlock chronic areas of pain so that I can walk more easily and increase my strength through exercise. I feel grateful to be one of Marcial's clients because he is a gifted and kind person. . read more

wish I could give them a zero. Beware of their recommendation to get a deep tissue massage. the hour long session caused several serious nerve problems. my neurologist warned me to never do that again. read more

Best place to get a massage. Marcial and Janelle are amazing! Therapeutic, professional and all around healing!

Making an appointment was easy - as scheduling was possible online - and a quick call to the office provided a recommendation regarding a suggested practitioner for the particular concern; the visit to the office itself was a pleasant surprise & definitely provided inspiration to at least one DVC Kinesiology student (as the care, patience, & skill brought to bear was both instructive and restorative). read more

Sooo happy with my results and experience with the team at Loosen Up! I don't really Yelp but I wanted to share my appreciation for the therapist I saw today, Rachel. She herself along with the massage she provided me were amazing and helped relieve my pain + tension that have been plaguing me for weeks. Will definitely be back and recommend this place and Rachel 100%! read more

Loosen Up has by far exceeded my expectations. The two most memorable massage therapists I would highly recommend are Marcial and Chris. Marcial has a very special gift for massage therapy, he communicates well and his technique for deep tissue is exceptional - he is extremely mindful of precisely when to add or lay off the pressure. If you're planning on scheduling a deep tissue massage, I would encourage you to book a minimum of 90-120 mins. I guarantee this is the only way to get a full appreciation of what massage therapy can do for you - signing up for the membership can also help offset some of the costs, it's worth it. Thanks to the Loosen Up team for helping me tackle my chronic neck and back pain. read more

I've been having chronic neck and shoulder pains due to my occupation (Software Engineer). I've tried other places for temporary relieves but people at Loosen Up took this to another level. I've seen three different therapists here and all were great, but I've been seeing Kristina recently and she's done an amazing job so far! Very knowledgable and tough against those tight muscles (no pain no gain). I also recommend cupping therapy from Kristina, if you don't mind the marks :) It helped to ease the pain and open up my muscles very fast. read more
