Hands down one of the BEST Thai massages I've ever had -- thank you, Pearl! From the moment I…read morearrived, she made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Her technique is next level -- not only did she work out every knot, but she stretched me out in all the right ways. It was like a mix of deep tissue, yoga, and pure bliss. I walked in feeling stiff and sore, and walked out feeling loose, light, and completely refreshed. Pearl is incredibly intuitive with pressure and movement -- she knew exactly where to focus and how to release all the tension. If you're looking for a Thai massage that goes beyond the basic and actually helps your body feel and move better, Pearl is your go-to. I'll definitely be back!

Had a great massage at Massage by Me yesterday. So happy to have found Pearl, she is the best…read moremassage therapist I have ever had and I will be going there more often! Pearl really takes the care to notice what was wrong with my body and adjusted as necessary. Her knowledge of the body and how it works is also top notch. The experience was great from start to finish, check in was very seamless and no issues with booking the appointment either. When I went into the appointment I was feeling stiff, but after, I felt like a cloud! Highly recommend.

Ok - this time it went MUCH better. I had a masseuse whose name I think was Kim?…read more No awkward pauses where I felt like I was a table or palms over my eyes... Her pressure was perfect, I upgraded to some hot stones and they were the perfect temperature. The only thing that I think could have been improved upon was one side of my back got more attention than the other, but for all I know it's because that side felt like it needed more work - so I'm not going to dock points for something like that when the whole service was exactly what I wanted out of a massage. Next time I think I'll spring for a longer one though - 60 minutes wasn't quite enough, I wasn't ready to go back to the real world! Thank you to Allee Massage for fixing my last visit and letting me give it a second chance. I'll definitely be back (and referring my friends as well) now that I know just to avoid whoever the heck I had last time lol

A fantastic local gem…read more Allee massage is always impeccably clean, smells wonderful, and feels tranquil. The staff are professional and consistently excellent - I haven't had a bad massage here yet. My wife and I like to get couples massages here once a month and they have a number of rooms that can be combined to enable it, so it's easy to schedule. Pricing is good considering the Bay Area and you can get a membership that lowers the prices further. Parking is tricky around dinner time as the parking lot is shared with some restaurants and a local dive bar, but during the day it's very easy.

I first discovered Back and Body wellness a few months back- and since then I have visited multiple…read moretimes. It's a clean, peaceful location with well maintained rooms. Parking is easy underneath the building. I have had myofascial massage sessions with 2 therapists- Ms Bria and Ms Blanca. Both have a slightly different style but both are amazing. The pressure is perfect, they seem to find the right knots. On occasions when I went in with back or neck pain, the therapists have been able to reduce the pain. I always leave the room feeling relaxed. End of the session, Ms Blanca also does stretching which is super helpful. Highly recommend it! Please give them a try.

From start to finish, with two different sessions now completed, I've had everything I've not known…read moreI needed and what I requested, far exceeding my expectations. Coming from someone who has seen chiropractors and massage therapists since age 12 (now age 44), I know a thing or two. However this was refreshingly different. I felt heard, understood, seen, and all the things you wish for in any given relationship! However I don't know about you as the reader , but for me I'd MUCH rather be MOST LISTENED TO and understood BY THE ONE who is going to help in (hopefully) making me feel better not just physically but mentally as well, by reliving the pain in my body. Amen right ? Well that's what has happened for me here. From my over explanatory phone call about my pain (I'm sorry and grateful to and for the woman who had to listen on the other end) to my over explanations to JONATHAN , who by the way is by far the best massage therapist IVE EVER HAD (and I do not ever LIE nor would I ever joke about pain management /relief). Jonathan truly listened, heard and understood me. That was blatantly clear by how he worked on my body. Done deal he's the best! But of course none of this could be possible without the man himself, Dr. Leslie Chui. The man exudes excellence, integrity and kindness. He's the type of guy whose presence calms your entire being , without even trying. His chiropractic technique and skill are above and beyond , just like his practice (Back & Body Wellness , in case you didn't pick up my hints ). Dr. Les has created something special here, not only proving that science can be medicine, but it takes the right type of people to orchestrate this type of healing. It shines through in his hand picked staff. I give Back & Body Wellness ALL of the stars, I give it a 10 out of 10. I don't think I'll find anywhere else that is so unique, full of skillful people and so dedicated to helping others. I Thank you so so much Dr. Les, I am ecstatic to have found your practice, and you

Came by for a Thai massage the other day and it was a world class experience. Made an appointment…read moreonline and my therapist was ready upon arrival. Parking was available on nearby surface streets. There appeared to be a small parking lot behind the building too. The massage parlor takes place inside an "office building" with numerous "suites." The office building is multi-level with a stairs that gets you up to the 2nd floor. The break room seems to be communal with other "suites." The massage took place inside a suite. There appears to be two "beds" sectioned off by sheer curtains. After spending time in Thailand, I've been on the lookout for a strong traditional Thai massage therapist. Many of the "Thai massages" in the area mix the traditional Thai massage with the western massage styles by adding oil etc.... Informed the therapist that I was looking for a Thai traditional massage without oil and strong, just like in Thailand. The therapist was strong, did numerous stretches, just like in Thailand. $95/hr + gratuity with $5 off for paying cash. There appears to be a promo program where there is a discounted rate for buying sets of massages. The massage parlor seems to be by appointment only.

I had already planned to leave a tip, but when it wasn't what they considered their "minimum," I was questioned about it and even laughed at. That alone was unprofessional, but it didn't stop there. The front desk staff then pulled out a tip sign that was hidden behind another sign--something that should have been clearly visible from the start if it's truly their policy. On top of that, I was charged more on my card than what I was told. Fifteen percent does not equal twenty percent, and that kind of discrepancy is unacceptable. To make matters worse, the towels used during the service had a noticeable mildew smell, especially the one placed on my face, which completely took away from what should have been a relaxing experience. Overall, between the lack of transparency, pressure around tipping, being overcharged, and poor hygiene standards, this was not a professional or comfortable environment. I would not recommend this place.

Very disappointing experience. I booked a 60-minute massage…read moreand it was cut short -- the session was closer to 50 minutes. That alone is unacceptable when you're paying for a full hour. The massage itself was not good. There was no consultation beforehand -- no questions about pressure, problem areas, or preferences. It felt generic and impersonal. Most of the time was spent working over a towel using elbows and forearms, which made it feel ineffective and not worth the cost. What bothered me the most was the gratuity expectation. A 25% tip was clearly pushed as the standard, regardless of the quality of service. I felt pressured to tip generously even though the experience didn't justify it. Tipping should reflect service, not be demanded. Overall, I left feeling dissatisfied and overcharged. I would not return.

Review of Valerie…read more I have been going to massage envy for at least 15 years. Sadly, my experience at this location was one of the worst massages in my life. Valerie could stand to listen to her clients and realize that it's not about what SHE wants, it's about what the client wants. After all, I'm the one paying for the service. When someone is saying it's too painful and to stop... she needs to learn to STOP. But no, she keeps going and digging in entirely too hard because she thinks it's what is needed. Not her body, not her choice. You would like to think a woman could understand that concept. I guess should have gotten up and left. Or maybe screamed? I don't even know. It's a terrible position to be in laying there undressed having someone repeatedly hurt you like that. I'm in so much pain after my massage that I can't even sit back on my sofa because the slightest pressure on my back and shoulders is unbearable. Then there was the 90 minutes of lecturing about everything I do wrong in my life. Apparently I don't eat the way she thinks I should, I don't exercise enough, and I don't have the right posture. At some point I just quit responding to her questions because I was tired of being told why whatever answer I gave was wrong. Aside from the actual massage, parking is easy and plentiful. The waiting room is small, as are the treatment rooms, but everything seems clean and in good repair. front desk staff is lackluster. they're not particularly pleasant people, but they ring up transactions fine.

After waiting 20 minutes I learned there was a scheduling error and the therapist was not working that day. There was no other technician available or appointment for me. That night I received a call apologizing. They offered me an extra 30 minutes on my next massage. So book another appointment, pay for it 100% and we will give you an extra 30 minutes for free. Doesn't make up for my time or disappointment. I went home and found another massage place with an open spot immediately. I will go somewhere that values my business.

Pure Magic at Elements Massage…read more Massage Therapist: Brian Stark Y'all. This massage was a GIFT in every sense of the word - literally gifted by my amazing soul sister, and figuratively a gift to my overworked body and spirit. Brian Stark is hands down one of the most skilled and intuitive massage therapists I've ever worked with. I came in carrying weeks of tension in my neck and shoulders (hello, yoga teacher problems!), and my body was NOT having it. Super resistant and locked up tight. But Brian? He was patient as a saint and worked his magic until all that stored stress finally released. But here's what really blew me away - this man can hold space for the DEEPEST conversations while working on your body. We talked about energy work, dharma, how to give without depleting yourself (so needed as someone whose job is literally caring for others), and even swapped Gen X parenting stories. It was like therapy for my soul while my muscles got the TLC they desperately needed. The whole vibe at Elements is welcoming and peaceful. Brian created this safe container where healing could happen on multiple levels - physical, emotional, spiritual. Walking out, I felt like a completely different human. If you're looking for just a basic rubdown, there are plenty of places for that. But if you want bodywork that actually transforms you? Book with Brian. Your nervous system will thank you, your body will thank you, and honestly, your spirit will too. Already planning my next appointment because this kind of holistic healing is exactly what our stressed-out world needs more of. **Pro tip:** Come ready for both physical release AND some soul-stirring conversation. This man's got healing hands AND wisdom to share. #ElementsMassage #HolisticHealing #GenXWisdom #BodyworkThatMatters

Rachel was my masseuse and she did an amazing job. She asked me where I wanted to focus and I mentioned that I needed some work on my neck, shoulders, and upper back. My favorite part of the massage was when she cracked my entire back with full force - it felt like everything loosened up in my back afterwards.

My experience was much more average. The therapists seem trained in a particular technique, but I did not experience the deeper level of expertise with fascia, muscular anatomy, and integrating different massage techniques that I have found at other places. There are a lot of beautiful touches and decorations that create a nice atmosphere, but for me, the actual therapeutic experience did not quite match the presentation. I also did not experience the same level of warmth, attentiveness, or empathy that I have received at other massage practices. Nothing was particularly bad, and it was a perfectly decent experience, but given the exceptionally enthusiastic reviews, I left wondering what specifically made it so outstanding for others.
