When I was more active and going to the gym nearly everyday, Anastasio was my go to! My body was in…read morefairly bad shape due to all the ego lifting and lack of stretching. My man Anastasio nursed me back to health and even allowed me to set PRs! If you frequent the gym or living an active lifestyle, please do your body a favor and come see Anastasio for a correction. That being said, even aches and sore from everyday tasks should warrant a visit too. With working from home being so prevalent especially during the pandemic, all the desk time could lead to tight muscles and bad posture. That, ladies and gentlemen, is why I came to see Anastasio again. With my newly sedentary lifestyle and sitting in front of the screen all day, I became a victim of poor posture and tight muscles. I'm already seeing a lot of progress after a single visit and you bet I'll be returning more often. Honestly, for the small price of sacrificing one night out, you'll feel like a brand new person. We forget to care for ourselves sometime when we should be priority. Health really is wealth. Anastasio is a very positive and motivating person. He trains and participates in marathons often. Talking to him has made me motivated to return to the gym and get my physique of yesteryear. Being an active person himself gives him tremendous knowledge especially combined with his studies. It's always great to have a positive role model or friend in your life. Pro-tip: If you live in the East Bay, Anastasio has an option to come to your house for treatment!! What's better than getting a massage during a meeting haha.

Anastacio always does a great job during my sport massage therapy sessions, and I appreciate his…read morelevel of professionalism and care that he provides at each session. Though I need to drive about 25 minutes to his office, I go to see Anastacio about once a month, and it is worth it each time. I originally searched for a massage therapist to help relieve tension along my back and neck after I was injured by multiple packages falling on my back while shopping at Costco last year. After consulting with my physical therapist, they suggested that regularly going to a massage therapist would also help me with recovering from intense training that I do as a semi-professional badminton athlete. While there weren't many options for sports massage therapy in the Bay Area, I saw great compliments for Anastacio on Google Reviews. When I visit Anastacio, he always makes sure that my current needs are met, as he will ask about the specific areas that I want to work on for that session. In addition to helping me with my tight back and neck, he has also worked on my shoulders, quads, hamstrings, calves, and forearms, and I am always satisfied with the amount of pressure and time that he uses for each part. Anastacio is well-versed with cupping and Graston Technique, and he uses the tools effectively for areas that are particularly tight. Anastacio is also very laid-back and knowledgeable, so I enjoy chatting with him during our sessions, and I appreciate his promptness and professionalism when another matter arises outside of our sessions. I can only speak highly of Anastacio, and I appreciate how he is able to accommodate my varying needs, helping me recover from intense training, relieve muscle injuries from impacts, as well as from a rear-end collision from a motor vehicle accident.

Wow! I've been getting regular massages for about 10 years now, with a variety of well trained,…read morecertified masseuses. All have their own styles but there is something fundamentally lacking - they all typically take a one size fits all approach - working from the back down to the legs, then front for a bit and then wrap up. This is even with masseuses I've used many times - I'm guessing the massage establishments just train them that way. However, Karalyn combines massage with PT, really working problem areas and going hard at it. The result - you get the therapeutic benefits of the massage and the science of PT, which drives rapid recovery where you really need it. As only a rare and excellent massage can deliver, I ended light-headed and felt like jelly. As only great PT can deliver, I felt lighter on my feet afterwards with a cleaner posture and wider range of motion (and less pain and injury risk). All this from the convenience of home. Thank you Karalyn!

My whole being was neglected by self love. I can feel the heaviness of suppressing myself. I usually go to places to get a massage, but I cannot leave my situation, and since covid, the thought of being around so many people at once is negative. I found Karalyn on Yelp! I knew I wanted someone like-minded, mobile, well-rounded, and spiritual. When I saw Karalyn's pictures of her travels and the Esalan pic, PLUS the beautiful reviews. I knew I had found my HEALER. *Karaylyn* You accommodated me and made me feel safe. You were professional and respected my privacy and home. You are a great listener and know how to balance our conversation. You knew when it was time to let me rest as I fell asleep intermittently. Your hands are strong and amazing; you helped me jump-start the healing process I neglected. I am forever GRATEFUL! I am still feeling the effects of your visit. This may be TMI, but I want to let the folks know this is proof of how much of a healer you are. I started drinking water as soon as you left. Your healing hands hit all the pressure points needed to move my bowels and help relax my nerves. This was such a relief and I felt lighter and more relaxed than I have in a while. I am pleased that I chose you to assist me through my healing and looking forward to my next session with you. May you have many more blessings this lifetime gives you and so the next. Love, MAT.

I consider myself a friend of hers but this review is not about pumping up her business based on friendship. I was a client first and believed in her to continue going to her for a long time. I paid for her massage therapy services and they were 100% the best. Back a few years ago, I promised myself that if I worked out every week that I would treat myself to a massage every two weeks. Well I did. Nicole provided what I call sports massage which targeted the areas that were causing me the most soreness. Not only that, but I am a full-time desk jockey sitting in front of a computer. So you can get an idea how sore I was getting. Nicole's technique and style are phenomenal. I swear on my reputation that this is super legit review of her massage therapy. I don't lie. If you are in need of some serious massage, go see her. She is conveniently located near Almaden Expressway and Capitol Auto Row/Expressway. Sorry Nicole for taking so long to finally writing you a review. It wasn't intentional.

Rung was very attentive to my needs for the day and provided a well-rounded full body massage.
