(Review from my wife Megha)…read more I've been seeing Sofia for massages regularly, and I can't recommend her enough! She's incredibly knowledgeable and professional, with a real talent for understanding what your body needs. Every session is personalized--she always takes the time to listen and adjust the massage based on how I'm feeling that day. I leave every appointment feeling relaxed, refreshed, and so much better than when I walked in. Scheduling is always easy, and she's super reliable and accommodating. If you're looking for a skilled and caring massage therapist, Sofia is the one to go to!

She said she takes insurance but then the nightmare starts. She asked me to pay in cash then could file insurance on my own by giving me receipts. I did and asked for receipts every time I see her. After 3 treatments, she gave me a non medical super bill with no EIN number. It's not acceptable by insurance. Things started to go chaotic. At first she refused to help filing insurance because of language barrier; gave me all the excuses, assuming my insurance is cheap with huge deductible, assaulting my employer provided bad insurance...Then she said it costs her to hire someone to do it (every medical clinic hires some professional to handle billing, it's a very basic thing). Five months after with enormous amount of time on calls and chats between Viven, me and my insurance company. I discovered she filed and charged 2 times the billing amount to my insurance. She reimbursed me what I paid her in cash and pocketed the rest of the money. She said it's legal and legitimately done. Not to mention the treatments I received have no affect on me. The way she handles works is very doubtful and unprofessional. I feel sad that she had ruined the reputation on the field of Chinese acupuncture.

Joann specializes in post surgical care and really understandable how to work with healing tissue safely and effectively. From the first session, the treatments were gentle and pain free. Over the course of 4 sessions, I saw a drastic reduction of both swelling and bruising, as shown in the photos (day 6 was before massage, day 8 after 1 session, and day 11 after 3 sessions). It was truly remarkable to see the changes in such a short time! I credit Joann to drastically accelerating my recovery process and reducing the time after surgery it took to become presentable again. I wanted to add, Joann's pricing is very reasonable, especially compared to others in the area.

After undergoing abdominal surgery eleven years ago, I never fully recovered and have been living…read morewith debilitating chronic pain ever since. I have undergone multiple surgeries in an attempt to resolve this issue. I have consulted pain specialists at Stanford, UCSF, and Kaiser, and have also tried physical therapy, multiple nerve blocks, acupuncture for over a year, and even ultrasound-guided Botox injections in my abdomen. Following a final surgery, which unfortunately did not alleviate the problem, it was determined that further surgical intervention was no longer an option. My last surgeon, who is highly skilled, informed me that surgical options are exhausted and recommended that I consider structural therapy. I found Cris and Medicine Evolution online and decided that a consultation might be helpful. Cris spent a considerable amount of time consulting with me, asking questions, and truly listening to my story. I decided to make an appointment. After my first session, I committed to three months of weekly sessions. Cris's holistic approach involved assessing my entire body and how I move, combined with hands-on therapy and, for once, exercises that were easy for me to remember and implement. For the past eleven years, I literally had to hold my stomach when I walked. Now, I am able to walk for over an hour without holding my stomach. I had never been able to walk for more than ten minutes without experiencing intense pain. Although I am not completely healed, Cris has given me hope that I can gradually improve. As a long-time runner, I am hopeful that I will eventually be able to run again. Cris is truly a one-of-a-kind practitioner. He thinks outside the box and integrates the brain with the body. He's amazing! I highly recommend him. He is a deep thinker who listens carefully and develops individualized plans for his clients. I truly believe that he is on the cutting edge of working with the mind and the body together. Thank you, Cris!

I've worked with many people over the years, PTs, bodyworkers and strength trainers. No one was able to assess the issues in my body and help like Chris. My knees improved quickly under his care and many months later are still feeling great. Chris's bodywork was not only amazing, but his coaching and education about bodies and my body mechanics have really helped me adjust how I walk and move. I continue to bring this awareness to my daily life, which is why I think my knees are continuing to do so well even after our sessions ended. Chris is friendly, smart, funny, observant, caring and committed to his work and his patients. I highly recommend!

Yesterday I had my first massage by Jose Luis. I had been suffering from back pain for a couple of…read moreweeks and after trying yoga, stretching, getting a new mattress, it was finally time to get a massage to see if it would help. Jose Luis arrived promptly and asked for a history of my aches and pains and asked for me to smell some essential oils to help relax me before the massage. He also asked me to walk around a bit so he can evaluate my gait since I also suffer from plantar fasciitis and knee pain. The most thorough pre massage history and evaluation I have every had. The massage: it was amazing, relaxing, therapeutic and it really helped my back. We took a couple of breaks in between the massage so I can walk around and see how I felt. He wanted to make sure that my back hurt less and that he was targeting the right achy muscles. He was able to identify some problem areas and said that we might have to have another session depending how I felt after the massage. I am so glad to report back that I had a great nights sleep and look forward to more. I highly recommend Jose Luis if you are suffering from any aches or if you simply want to indulge in a relaxing massage.

I took a chance at getting a deep tissue massage from Jose at the Healing Hands Spa in San Ramon, and I say this without exaggeration -- it was the best I've ever had. Since then, I've been going to Jose at least once a month for a two hour session. He is clearly talented in many different modalities, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and sports massage, all of which I've greatly enjoyed. Each new session seems to be better than the last, as Jose deftly adapts to working with my body and personal goals. After each session, I feel a profound sense of relaxation; for days afterwards, I feel more in tune with my body, from heightened mental clarity and well-being, to increased flexibility and improved performance when working out. I'm still amazed at the significant positive differences that I experience each time. Without a doubt, Jose is highly skilled at his craft. He's also dependable, always on time, and very hard-working. I confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a massage therapist!

However, the last massage I had with Ronny was especially wonderful. I'd been struggling with shoulder pain for months, which I constantly thought was going to "get better any day now." It didn't. After one session with Ronny (though I was nervous for him to even massage near that area), my shoulder pain was gone and hasn't returned. It's as if I never had that shoulder pain for 6+ months! I was shocked and, of course, regretted not making an appointment with Ronny sooner. I'll definitely book with him again.

You know it's a good massage when you start to doze off and fall asleep (maybe a few times lol). She was gentle with my body as I am 33 weeks pregnant, but kept checking in about the level of pressure which I appreciated.
