I went to Vicki with back pain. After one session, the pain was greatly reduced. After the second treatment, it was gone. She knows what she's doing. I highly recommend her services for anyone who is suffering from muscle ache or pain. read more

Incredible! This was exactly what my body needed! Vicki is an incredibly talented practitioner! She shares a wisdom with you that goes beyond the treatment room and benefits you as a whole person. Her focus is on deep healing on many levels. The entire time I felt like I had found the perfect practitioner who knew the body and what it needed. She is extremely professional and at the same time shares with you a profoundly compassionate space where you can be reassured the massage and healing will happen and be long lasting. I highly recommend Release the Pain and Vicki Mah! I am so grateful to have found her and to have experienced her gifts as a massage therapist. read more

Vicki did an amazing job with helping relieve my pain. I had a procedure done around my stomach and felt alot of tightness and pain, i also had some back spasms. After the first visit i felt a big difference, i was more flexible able to kove without restrictions, by the second visit vicki literally made the back spasms disappear! I feel like i can be myself again. I highly, highly, highly recommend anyone with pain or myofascial release or craniosaciral, to even energy work to come visit and have vicki take a look to help you. I thought the process would take longer but i felt immediate results. Thank you so much for helping me during this time in my life, thank you for relieving the pain vicki. I can't wait until our next appointment! read more

Release the Pain - Vicki thank you so much - Massage Therapy Near Me - Sacramento, California

Vicki is such a special person. I went there to have body work for my son who was born with tongue tie and tension. Vicki was able to calm him and help him feel better. She has also helped us as a family just be positive and have better energy. read more

Worst massage ever, not to mention if you're scared of covid shot, don't offer your service. My mother massage wasn't even a massage. Definitely not coming again. Poor massage, poor service. She shouldn't pay you at all. Covid shots can't spread are you stupid. Omg! read more

This had to be the WORST customer service experience of my life. Vicki asked me if I could come for an appointment at 11am. She then called and asked if I could come at 1215 after I was already driving to her. I agreed. I showed up and she tried to tell me I needed to buy a $20 cream in addition to her massage fee for her to massage with. After I asked if I could use my cream since I am allergic to a lot of topical ointments, she yelled at me and said she would not complete my massage. I am an ICU nurse I'm terrible pain and woke up early for a much needed massage only to be treated horribly. read more

My husband just went to this lady because he has intense pain in his mid back and shoulders and we tried joint chiropractic and it didn't help. This seemed really promising. She kept referring to how good her reviews are and we texted back and forth so there is a level of friendliness but also she's a little feisty when asked what type of work she does and just mentioned that it just works. We were charged $130 for 1 hour(apparently a sale). It seems really expensive especially because he didn't feel any relief, it just seemed like a back rub or any at home massage. We have yet to find a good chiropractor. She did spend about 1hour but the ambiance is very lacking and not at all relaxing. read more

I don't normally write reviews but I could not resist. I've had lymphatic drainage massages in the past but there is nothing compared to what Vicki did for me today. I was in terrible pain and could barely walk. I feel that Vicki performed some type of miracle and I am very serious. The name of the business release of pain is a true statement not just a business name. She is the real deal. I not only felt a release of my physical pain but emotional and mental pain as well. I really feel that Vicky is an angel. She helped me realize many things about life in just an hour. I left crying, not of pain but of joy and love. I am truly grateful to have met her and she is worth every penny. I highly recommend her. You are missing out if you don't get to experience her presence. I can't wait for my next session. read more

I have a neck injury that has caused me pain for years and she was able to release many of the knots on the first session. I will be back for sure to keep my health and mobility at its best . Trigger point therapy is different then a regular massage the effects last a lifetime instead of just relaxing it's actually healing read more

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality Vicki is amazing ,she has healing hands ,she's the source of light ,happiness and joy,it's about finding a balance ,she opens an awareness towards the different methods and approaches out the ,my back neck and shoulders has never felt this good in a long time ,thank you Vicki read more

Vicky has so much potential to be a great healer. Unfortunately, she came with too much baggage. The last thing a patient wants to deal with is having to listen and cater to their therapist's problems. It should be the other way around. She is a nice person and her fees are very fair. Just find her critical personality a bit stressful to be around and hard for healing. She should also not post pictures of herself that do not represent her current appearance. From the ads' photos, it would seem like she is young, slim, and tall. The real person we saw was unrecognizable compared to the photos. We thought we were in the wrong office. It's as disturbing as those people that post profile photos of themselves when they were an embryo. Completely do not represent reality. read more

I am so glad I found Vicki, she did an amazing job releasing the muscle knots I had in my back and relieving me of the chronic pain I had been dealing with for over two years. She even went above and beyond by letting me text her whenever I found myself thinking in a negative thought pattern and helped me to start thinking positively again. Five stars would recommend. read more

Vicki is amazing!!!! I was hesitant about trying this sort of healing but I'm so happy I gave it a try! I came to Vicki with a really bad ankle sprain. I sprained it about a month and half ago, It was still very swollen and the pain was about a 6 out of 10. Vicki worked her "magic" and I'm able to actually move it. The swelling and pain is almost gone. It amazes me how in an hour she completely healed my ankle. Thank you Vicki! read more

I have had lower back pain and sciatica pain that spikes through my left thigh. I have seen a few specialists. Chiropractors, massage therapist and another specialist that has different techniques in trauma or pain. Each person is good in their fields but I was seeking pain relief from my sciatica. I was even told by someone that I need to live with it my whole life. I was blessed with a holistic doctor telling me to search for Myofacia Massage. This is how I googled and found Vicki. I came to her looking for help and got my answers. From first visit my lower back did not have any pain and sciatica was released 60%- 80%. I came 2nd time and I felt restored in all my muscles. Very smooth and energized. Even though I have had my 5th baby half year ago, thanks to Vicki, she helped me with all the pain and discomforts that I thought I need to live with my whole life. Thank you Vicki and God bless you! I will definitely recommend you to all! read more

SHE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST. This is a no-frills, GET DOWN TO BUISNESS place. Vicky KNOWS WHAT SHES DOING! And her only concern is to get you out of pain. I have searched for years trying to find releif from the pain in my neck caused by arthritis. Perscribed opioid pain meds would only make the pain tolerable. I still don't understand exacally how she does what she does, but I do know that I left my first session with Vicky with releif that I have never gotten before from any other type of help. I consider her technique somewhere between a Day Spa masssage and a FULL BLOWN Physical Therapy Session! I cant wait for my follow up appointment in four days. I have already scheduled an appt for my husband to begin seeing her to releive the pain in his back and knees caused from 35 years of abuse as a carpenter. I have a feeling that he will also find the same releif that he has been looking for. Vicki, you are a Godsend. THANK YOU. read more

I must commend Vicki on my first session with her. Previously, I had been attended to by a physical therapist, but aches and pains crept back. Vicki helped my muscles to relax and become practically pain free. Specifically, my stiff neck was no longer in pain. Also, she decreased the stiffness and pain in my arthritic thumb and elbow. Still a tiny bit of pain in my tennis forearm when my elbow is extended, but much better that prior. read more

This by far was the best experience ever. The pain in my neck and shoulders was so intense. When I left my visit with Vicki I felt like a new person. She is absolutely wonderful. She listened to my need and explained the process as she went along. I feel amazing right now and I will be back for another session in about one week. Thank you Vicki read more

With increasingly painful and frozen R shoulder due to osteoarthritis, needed relief. As 71 y.o. retired geriatric nurse practitioner, want to avoid surgery, usual PT and sports doc nostrums. Have seen complementary therapies benefit patients, stumbled on Vicki's practice and decided to give her a try. She has been working wonders: reduced pain, dramatically increased range of motion, addressing specific trigger points most others would never find. Highly recommend her work! read more

Vicki is the best! I tried *everything* for my TMJ pain (I'm a violinist and have had pain in my jaw for a while, which got worse from stress due to quarantine) and this is the only thing that helped. After one session I'm already able to chew on both sides of my mouth without pain, and I look forward to being able to practice my instrument regularly again! Will DEFINITELY be coming back to get rid of the rest of this long-held tension and pain, and for maintenance after that. I can already tell I'll be able to return to performing when quarantine is over. That means the world to me! :-) Thanks, Vicki!! read more

I had a great session with Vicki who helped to start the process of letting go of fear and anxiety and she gave me techniques that I can use daily. Thank you! read more

I would like to say that she received four stars for the massage and one star for professionalism. My experience: Vicki was nice enough to see me short notice, and when I got to the parlor she was friendly. I let Vicki know that I was having a hard time in my life, and Vicki tailored the session to work on anxiety. Vicki was very intense and the emotional session was very jarring, but that is to be expected. What I didn't like was that I told Vicki I was in physical pain and she didn't even work on my muscles. Near the end of the session, after I really mentioned a sore spot she finally worked on my muscle which was helpful. However, things got really unprofessional when money came into play. I told her that I am not in a great place financially, but then she continued to pressure me to book more sessions. I told her I could only afford it on credit card, so she said that I could PayPal her IN ADVANCE, because it takes too long to get into her bank account. For some reason, I agreed to this. When I got home I PayPal-ed the money to Vicki and text her letting her know. She then kept texting me stating that she hasn't received the money yet. She text me about three times asking for her money, I had to eventually screen shot a picture to her. The most ridiculous part was that I hadn't even had the massage she was texting me about. Flash forward to today when I woke up sick and couldn't make my massage. I text her a half hour before letting her know as a courtesy (I didn't even really want to talk to her because she makes me so uncomfortable). Then she text me back five mins before and said "Oh wow. Short notice, I'm here". I understand it is frustrating when a client cancels, but I do not like to feel shamed into going to a session (especially one that I have already paid for). I am really happy for all of the people that Vicki has helped, and I just have a hard time when someone calls themselves a spiritual healer one moment, but pressures a client the next. It is my personal opinion that as a professional, Vicki should have professional communication. I do not recommend "Release the Pain and Fear" for emotional problems, I would only consider them for structural massage. read more

ABSOLUTE TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I would think twice before coming here. I waited a week to have a lymphatic massage by Vicki just to have her not answer my one text 2 hours prior to my appointment to confirm. When I call for the first/only time after arriving & waited 10 minutes+, she finally answers and has a terrible attitude asking (her exact words) "You only need to text me once. I am busy helping another client. Can you understand you need to wait because I'm with someone else right now." As if I blew up her phone. After respectfully telling her I only called because she didn't answer when I told her that I was outside, she still was very disrespectful and informed me she was going to finish her client before coming outside to get me even though she was running into my appointment time. Very unprofessional to make YOUR client wait and inconvenience their day. Still don't understand why she was so rude about me calling her ONE TIME when she was the one who gave me the appointment date/time. She will never get a dime from me, the fact that she was so disrespectful to the point where I had to leave before even making it inside for my appointment just shows what kind of business she runs, with an attitude like that. If you have multiple clients in a day then space out the appointments so you have time to prep, don't make clients wait. Do better research and find a different massage therapist. read more

She did prenatal stretches for my wife it was great. I have also heard of many positive testimonies.

Tension free method while having a feeling of relaxation and lightness. Extended range of motion.

I've been training for a marathon which has had a HUGE toll on my muscles and joints. One appointment relieved a lot of the stress and really helped me focus on future stretches/practices to continue at home. read more

Despite Yelp's policy, I am going to post here. Full disclosure, Vicki is my cousin and worked on me yesterday at a family reunion--for free. Take my comments for what you think they are worth. About the last 6 months, I have had a progressive dull pain going from about the top of my shoulder and eventually down my arm close to my elbow. I will describe the pain like a nerve in the interior of your limb that, when you move in the wrong way, suddenly wakes up as if you stepped on it. I could not sleep on my side, nor raise my arm above my head without the dull pain becoming very sharp. Reaching around my back or over my opposite shoulder was nearly impossible . Yesterday, she worked on me for about an hour to an hour and 1/2. The difference is incredible. All of my range of motion came back and the pain from movement is completely gone. I would never have believed that I could get this kind of relief without experiencing it first hand. I will say that I am sore from the treatment, but I think that is reasonable to be expected. I do not know or understand all the technical aspects of what she did, but I am willing to give full confirmation that the treatment she gave me has given me back my full range of motion and release of the pain in my shoulder. It is truly incredible and remarkable. read more

When your chiropractor can not help you, when your massage therapist can not help you, when your acupuncturist can not help you and when your Bowen therapist can not help you then that is the time to call Vicki for back pain. I consider it divine providence that I found Vicki so I am very grateful. read more

I've participated in many kinds of self-actualization and energy work over the years so even though I was interested in what Vicki could do to help me, I was not expecting anything dramatic in the very first session. Before my session with Vicki, I had been having difficulty concentrating on studying for the bar exam. After just a short session over the phone, I not only felt an immediate release of pent up negative beliefs about my own ability but I reached a place of calm and had the most effective study period I've had in months. read more

Vicki is a very caring and thorough professional. Her positive energy has always lifted my spirits.

Vicki is awesome! !!! I was in a major accident couldn't move my right arm without excruciating pain. After the first session I was able to move it a little without pain and she straightened out my shoulders a bit. The second treatment I gained more movement with a little pain. I can't wait for the third treatment later on today :) read more
