Massage in Monterey

“I have been treated at Balance Physical Therapy, Monterey twice in 2024 and 2025. In 2025 Dr. Devesh Digwal who is a real knowledgeable, experienced and caring PT treated my left knee that has a torn meniscus so well that prevented any need to surgery. I have recovered now. The staff are very helpful and caring.
In 2024 Arash and his team at Balance helped me greatly with my lower back pain, and now I am fully recovered.
I highly recommend Balance PT in Monterey area.“

“May and Quan are warm and friendly. Quan has given me the best deep tissue massages that I've ever had in 40 years of massages. The rooms are clean and quiet with soft relaxing music in the background. Lovely place!“

“Ashley was my doula and massage therapist during my first pregnancy, and I truly can't recommend her enough. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and supportive. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to have the natural birth I had always hoped for. Her presence brought so much calm and confidence to my experience; she was the most impactful person on my birth team. I'm so grateful for everything she did!“

“Terrapin was amazing during my recovery from hip replacement surgery. The entire staff is so friendly, kind and caring--it really made a difference. I especially want to give a shout out to Aaron and Tony--my therapists. They were patient, attentive and compassionate. Thanks to them I am feeling stronger and well on my way to a full recovery. I highly recommend Terrapin for quality care and a welcoming environment.“

“Dr. Baker is the best!! Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and really cares about your health. I highly recommend The Back and Neck Pain Center of Monterey!“

“Jacob is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and skillful. I feel super comfortable getting the neuromuscular massage to help with various back/hip pain and leave feeling so much better than when I come in. The neuromuscular massage feels more beneficial than a deep pressure massage at a spa as Jacob focuses on one area for a long time until it feels better. Highly recommend!“

“My mom is a masseuse and I haven't found anyone as intuitive in finding where there is real tension and stories in the body until I got a massage from Steve. I had been having chronic back pain for month, and sought out acupuncture, other massages, and connected with my primary char physician - to no avail. After one session with Steve I felt ease and movement in my body that he mentioned was from muscles that had been tight for years. So thankful to have found him, and encourage anyone who is serious about taking care of their body's needs to book several sessions with him.“

“Lila did a wonderful job on my skin! My skin really needed a little tlc, and she did just that. I can’t stop looking at my skin in the mirror! You won’t be disappointed going to her for any of her services. Thank you so much darling! ?“

“Moving out to the Monterey peninsula left me searching for my new go-to wellness professionals. It was a tough go at first since we relocated post-pandemic and many massage therapists had a rough hand dealt. Needless to say, my husband and I tried many massage therapists for the first few years and had no luck. Then one day I noticed on Google Joy’s practice. I poked around on her website and was excited to see how much experience and skill she had from a really diverse background from decades in massage therapy. Being a fellow wellness professional I had a feeling she was going to become my go-to massage therapist and sure enough now she is several sessions together later! I’ve had the pleasure of getting a lymphatic massage, and deep tissue- both were fantastic. Joy is a true healer and a great human altogether & I would absolutely recommend you book a massage with her after you’ve finished reading my review!

Thanks for all the amazing work you do Joy! Can’t wait for my next massage :-)“

“Our regular monthly visits have saved our necks time and time again (literally). So thankful for this great care.“

“I had the pleasure of experiencing a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Yezi this morning and I must say, it was a wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with kindness, warmth and professionalism.

Yezi's skill and expertise became apparent from the very first touch. Her intuitive understanding of the body and trigger points allowed her to pinpoint areas of tension with precision. What truly sets Yezi apart is her amazing talent to massage with the weight of her body and the strength and precision of her toes!

The pressure applied during the massage was firm yet soothing, allowing me to relax deeply while still feeling the tension melt away. It was evident that Yezi possesses a deep knowledge of pressure points, anatomy, and muscle structure, as every stroke and knead seemed to target the root of my discomfort.

Not only was the massage itself exceptional, but the entire experience was elevated by Yezi's calming presence and genuine care for my well-being. She took the time to listen to my concerns and preferences, ensuring that I felt heard and valued throughout the session.

By the end of the massage, I felt like a new person — rejuvenated, invigorated, and free from the burdens of stress and tension. Yezi's deep tissue massage transcended mere relaxation; it was a holistic journey toward physical and mental wellness.

If you're looking for a truly transformative massage experience, I wholeheartedly recommend booking a session with Yezi. Her expertise, professionalism, and genuine passion for healing make her a true gem in the world of massage therapy. I can't wait to return for another session soon!“

“Dr. K is the best!! She is also a certified Network Chiropractor and if you have never experienced a Network Chiropractic session don’t wait any longer. I drive a 100 miles one way to see her. I believe that says it all. How many of you would drive 200 miles round trip to see your Chiropractor? Yes she’s that good. I’m pain free now, and I continue to visit her for mental, emotional and physical stability. If you have stress in your life Dr. K is one of the best Network Chiropractors that addresses all the needs that daily stress inflicts on the spine and body: emotionally, mentally and physically. I can’t say enough good things about Dr K. I love her!!“

“I'm new to the Monterey area. I was looking for a massage and facial for my birthday. I booked Cheryl for my massage and Brittany for my facial. The whole experience was perfection! Both really talented! I'm hooked and will definitely book again! Thank you Cheryl and Brittany! You both are so amazing!“

“Cedric is SUCH a great masseuse, I can’t recommend him enough! I work on clients 6 days a week and have alot of knots and inflammation in my upper back/neck. His technique is so great because he targets exactly all of my pain points with the perfect amount of pressure to work the knots good, but in a really therapeutic and relaxing rhythm that makes you feel relaxed at the same time. I’ve been to people where the massage isn’t relaxing at all and its just holding my breath in pain waiting for it to be over; but this is the best of both worlds. I know we’re doing good work and I leave walking on clouds. I’m also really sensitive to energy and can feel he’s a clear channel for strong energetic flow through the body. Just get on his busy books, you will not be disappointed!“

“Really excellent massage. Intuitive healer with strong hands and super professional. Highly recommend“

“One of the best massage therapists in Monterey. It took me a long time to find a good one?.“

“Had incredible Reki session. Jean was very professional, kind and had answered my many questions. She felt in my body things I have not verbalized to her, but were all true. Thank you for the messages and guidance! I felt soo relaxed and light after the session, I am so happy I was able to come there! She is a real gem! I will be back!“

“I've worked with Danielle for 2 years via Zoom and it's been the best decision I've made for my health. Before, my body was a blank map, unknown to me. Now, I see it more clearly, how to explore and play. I used to loath exercise but more and more I've caught myself enjoying it, working out on my own time. Danielle will teach, hold you accountable, listen, customize your lessons, adapt to your schedule (I travel a lot for work) and will be your trusted guide through the still mysterious (now a little less so) wonderful world of the body and mind! If you're on the fence because you haven't found the right fit, I say take the leap with Danielle!“

“Heather Elizabeth James is a gifted massage therapist certified in several modalities. In April, 2021, I received a few Lymphatic Drainage treatments from Heather for lymphedema. Within a few weeks the swelling in my calves, ankles and feet were reduced to near normal condition. It's been a year, and I'm still benefitting from those treatments!Recently I received Mayan Abdominal Therapy from Heather. The soreness in my abdomen is relieved, I learned how to do the technique for continued self care, and my overall energy level is much better!Words can't express how grateful I am for Heather, and how much I recommend her for holistic, mindful, and heartfelt massage therapy. She is a true healer, a down-to-earth angel.“

“Amazing Therspist. Great balance between delicious with detailed /thorough. And I'm very picky lol“

“Had a massage with Roberto, which was truly exceptional. My body was in terrible shape, locked back and tension all over, and in 90 minutes, he worked all the muscles systematically, while explaining the anatomy. Amazing benefit felt right after. One of the best massages I have ever had, and hope to become a regular.“

“Our visit surpassed expectations! We’ve never tried one of these places before, but it’s always piqued our interest. We had the pleasure of having Martin as our representative and he went above and beyond; we’ll definitely be back because of how attentive and knowledgeable he was. He made us feel very comfortable and was super engaging throughout each process, which made it even more fun. The full body water massage felt great, the oxygen bar made me feel so energized yet relaxed, and then we also got a head and neck message and got to use a stem machine during the oxygen bar, which was such a unique and fun experience. They played lively music as well and the vibes were just on point. The place was also extremely clean, which is an added bonus. 10/10 recommend!!“

“A firm massage that left me muscles feeling like jelly. Next time I need a massage, I’m coming here again!

The room was also very relaxing. I prefer low lighting and this was perfect.“

“Glenn has helped me with hot flashes and physical pain symptoms from years of chronic wear and tear. I have better health and well being from knowing him and using his expertise.“

“Daniela is the best! I started going to her for help with my acne in my teen years. Now, as a busy working adult, I return for her loving care and signature luxurious fassage special--a customized massage and facial combo.“
