A million stars for communicative, personal manual therapy for injury.

My back was spazzing up and I was impressed by the reviews and fast availability. My mistake. He…read moretalked and talked and talked, and frequently corrected me tartly for not having some part of my body in the proper place. For example, he told me to tense my bicep (I'm there for lower back which he has not yet addressed) so I "made a muscle". He said "I didn't ask you to tense your whole arm, just your bicep." Which was true so I tried again but it wasn't intuitive to flex one muscle without others, so I did it wrong again. He then grabbed my wrist and bent my arm and said "see?" Oh, not flexed like I thought. I didn't know. This went on and on -- basically he was showing me I involved too many muscles because I was tense but it was like trial and error with no focus on my back pain. Finally, 55 minutes in he gets to my problem area and ultimately had to go 5 minutes overtime (making a to-do about resetting some sort of timer) and telling me that other practitioners only do 50 minutes. Maybe so, I thought, but they probably also give you treatment on the problem area and not a game of really hard (for me) "Simon says" until 55 minutes have passed. Anyway, bad fit for me who had an acute issue and needed treatment fast.

As others said: Mark is a miracle worker! THE BEST!…read more I was diagnosed with carpal and ulnar tunnel syndrome on my left arm, it was bad, really bad to the point that nerve pain was waking me up at night during weeks. I went to Mark recommend by a PT at Kaiser and I have to say, it has been the best money spent in 2019. Mark knows EXACTLY what he is doing. He's super knowledgable and explains what and why he's doing. Mark never promised pain will be gone on a specific number of sessions but He said that with the right approach it will go away eventually without surgery, which was the thing it was causing most stress ... and it did! Tingling, numbness, and pain went away! I can't stop recommending Mark to people. Every time I heard someone needs PT help and send them to Mark, He's an amazing professional, that provides excellent service and real results.

I was recently in SF performing with the Broadway tour production of Moulin Rouge. My job is very…read morephysically demanding, and I try to get a massage as often as possible. I also prioritize getting massages from a therapist who has a strong understanding of dancers' bodies and what we do. I found Daniel through the SF Ballet website, and he was great--very professional. He worked through the trouble spots I requested and was very detail-oriented throughout the entire session. Whether you are a dancer or not, I would recommend booking a massage with Daniel!

Scott was amazing! 6 stars! He's very kind and sweet and paid attention to my body language…read more I have highly recommended him to everyone I know. He will ask you what you were looking for and set clear expectations of what you're going to get. If the deep tissue hurts too much you just have to let him know. But trust me it hurts a little today and feels amazing after. My last massage had me feeling great! Like butter! I recommend setting an appointment before an important day or after a long week at work. You deserve it! Cost is amazing compared to others in town for what you get. You can pay someone less but you get what you paid for. Pay for it because it's worth it! Scott thank you a thousand times over I have already planed my next message!

I've been going to JR since moving back to the Bay Area and he is now my go-to massage person! This…read morereview is specifically for deep tissue massages. JR is the rare massage therapist who 1) really knows insertion points of muscles so that he can relieve the pain at the location of the pain as well as the areas that might be triggering the pain or discomfort, and 2) continues to hone his craft with continuing education. I am confident that I'm getting a massage therapist who is well-trained and dedicated to making his clients feel more relaxed and lighter after each session. He really tailors his sessions to your needs and checks in frequently to make adjustments. As time has gone on, we haven't needed such frequent checks. We have great chats during our sessions, but when I've wanted a quieter session, he obliges. He has a sense for the vibe you're looking for without asking. It's a no frills massage location, so if you're looking for a more fancy spa experience, Postjur might not be what you're looking for. However, if you want an excellent massage from a well-trained massage therapist with some spa-like elements (like the hot steamed towel at the end of the session), then JR is the person for you!

When I first came to him, I had really bad tightness on my neck since I work on a computer 40 hrs a week and train 4 days in a week.

It was the perfect pressure and focused on all the right places. He is very skilled! I don't normally leave negative reviews, but I originally reached out directly to the business to report about my experience and never heard back from them, which was disappointing. I got a prenatal massage the other week, and was assigned a masseuse who, according to their website, doesn't have CMT next to their name, which feels sketchy to me, and the massage also felt very much like he was an amateur. He seemed completely unsure about how to give a prenatal, and the pillows he gave me to prop myself on my side didn't have any pillow cases on them. He didn't massage my arms, feet, neck or head at all, and the strokes felt very random. The guy was nice enough, but I feel pretty ripped off because I paid the same price as I would for one of their professional masseuses. I would've been open to coming back with a different masseuse, but because they never responded to my email, I probably won't unfortunately.

Hands down, the best massage therapist!!!…read more I ran the Honolulu marathon yesterday, and I woke up with a massive body ache, barely able to get out of bed... I knew I had to go get a massage. I've tried massages from expensive spas to cheap massage schools, but nothing compares to Michael's massage. Thanks to Yelp! He knows all the right places (like inner scapula, outer tibia, and along the spine) and the pressure was peeeeerfect (I like mines on the stronger side). Just what I needed from head to toe, literally! The unique combination of shiatsu (my fav), lomi lomi, and deep tissue really helped massage out my achy muscles. It hurt when he was massaging it out but it was a feel good pain! You can always ask him to change the pressure. But I loved it!! I even fell asleep a little bit...cuz it felt so good!! I'll definitely be back again. I wanna say tomorrow, but I gotta save money for Christmas shopping ;p But I'm def going back before the year end. Thank you Michael!!! Location: Home studio or he'll travel to your home!!! I went to his home studio - small but nice and cozy, smells good too!! It's a much better deal if you go to his studio too, but if you're too lazy to get out of the house, it's still way cheaper than many other places. Parking: No parking so make sure you street park on Oceanview or Sunset. I found parking easily.
