Massage in Oakland

“I love Strategic! Diana is the best, though I understand that all of the therapists are remarkable. As a fellow industry person, I always come to them, but I also recommend them to all of my clients. Truly a top notch establishment. I'd give 6 stars given the option.“

“I did the Dot Physical Exam on a friend’s recommendation, and it was so good that I wanted to leave a review.
I was a bit worried about parking and the homeless situation since it’s in Oakland, but the area is mostly office buildings, so it was clean and felt safe. There were plenty of free parking spots, which was really convenient.
What I liked most was how kind the staff were, and I didn’t have to wait at all — everything was done quickly. It was excellent overall, so I’m leaving this special review. Highly recommend!!“

“We recently hosted Akasha at our home for a couples massage workshop with three other couples, and it was such a wonderful experience. Akasha was fantastic at providing demos and hands-on instruction, making sure everyone felt comfortable with the techniques. We all walked away with practical skills we can actually use and, more importantly, a deeper sense of connection with our partners. She is the exact right blend of a technical expert and a warm and caring human. It was a truly special evening, and I can’t recommend her enough for a unique group gathering.“

“This might be the best massage I've ever received. Nina was capable, responsive, effective, and kind. I'll definitely be back.“

“I had a cold stone headache treatment with Tina, and she actually made my migraine diminish greatly! It was a wonderful relief. Also Tina has a lovely, caring bedside manner.“

“I had not had a massage in a long time and I didn't even KNOW my muscles were as tight as they were. This place is so professional, quiet, accommodating to what I was looking for in my massage. My massage therapist kept checking in if the pressure was good, was I warm enough. I can't say enough good things about this place. Treat yourself and treat your friends!“

“Marwan is an amazing body worker! I had been meaning to get a massage for myself for my birthday and I was about a month late but it was 100% worth the wait because the massage I got from Marwan was the best I have ever had.

He really took time with his intake form and chatting with me before the massage to understand what I was looking for. I carry a lot of head/neck/shoulder tension from my desk job + leg tightness from a lot of running & weight lifting. Marwan addressed all of my problem areas and the tension felt like it melted away. He is both communicative in a way that made me feel comfortable and also very intuitive and seemingly applied the right amount of pressure to each area of focus.

I highly recommend him and will definitely be back!“

“I started seeing Whitney 8 months ago for my chronic back pain and her support (along with acupuncture and long baths) has been transformative in my ability to live pain free and return to running and rock climbing. I was a All-American swimmer in college and I've recieved a lot of bodywork over the years... no one really compares to the healing that Whitney can provide -- she's able to use a targeted multi-disciplinary approach (across many different massage techniques) and has a really intuitive capacity to listen and respond to muscle tension in the moment. I'm particularly grateful because my chronic pain is a combination of rigorous, repetitive exercise and CPTSD that manifests as myofascial pain in my spine, middle upper back and shoulders. Whitney offers a truly safe space and I think the energy of her presence combined with her physical massage work is really hard to find. She's a gem! I hope many more people will discover the healing wonder of her services for themselves.“

“In 2019 at he age of 76, I drove from Los Angeles for my first appointment with Dr. Ruch. After 20 min of painless treatment, I could stand up straight and taller. I was so impressed with his highly, effective techniques that I've made the trip back two or three times a year! At age 84 I'm functioning physically better than ever. My family and friends are amazed at the things I do and I want to continue doing them. If I lived closer I would have an appointment every month! Thank God for Dr Ruch whose skills outshine all others.“

“I came in with a lower back pain flare up, my muscles were feeling really weak and tense, and I left feeling confident that Sandy had done something very right for the pain I was dealing with. The next day my back felt strong and pain free again! Sandy is really attentive and gentle and very intuitive. I highly recommend his work.“

“Cecelia is an amazing healer and Ayurveda clinician. I always feel heard and respected at every appointment. I leave feeling better each time.“

“Best chiro around - been going for a decade, and wouldn't trust my neck to anyone else! Amazing team and good vibes.“

“Aaron is a phenomenal body worker and a kind person. I cannot recommend him highly enough.“

“i’ve struggled with lower back pain since i was 18. that’s 20+ years. but i want to be able to do basketball, tennis, boxing as long as possible. Ever since i’ve started going to Tanya periodically it is exactly the tune up i need to support my sports activities. She is able to find the areas that are not properly firing and get my mind body connection right. i have even had an emergency session when my back spasms had me immobilized and she had me back on my feet in 80 minutes.“

“Bliss has been a staple in my life since 2019, when I joined to add more movement, build strength, and de-stress. Before Bliss, I belonged to a larger gym chain that felt impersonal and intimidating. The people at Bliss work to provide an antithesis to stereotypical gyms; it’s a people-centered, supportive space that makes fitness welcoming and enjoyable!“

“Roshonda is AMAZING!! Best massage I’ve received hands down. My experience was beyond relaxing, left on cloud 9. 10/10“

“Erica. Is great she’s awesome and she knows what she’s doing I’m a mover who had back pain until I started seeing her for back neck and body treatment and she has given me some great😊 advice on taking care of my back“

“Robert is beyond amazing, he’s a real healer!!! I would give him 10 stars if I could- the perfect amount of pressure, and he’s so intuitive about how to help. I just had one yesterday and my next in two weeks isn’t soon enough!!“

“Came in aching and sore after working out and left refreshed and feeling very relaxed. Therapists Paul and Abby took time and care to concentrate me and my daughter’s aches and pains. The place is highly rated for a reason.“

“Had a great experience as usual with Dr Matt Green. He listens and focuses his treatments to provide the necessary relief and maintenance I need for my leaky back.“

“I had a wonderful experience with Kevin. He is a skilled and empathic massage therapist, and gave me one of the best massages I've ever had. He also has special attachments for pregnancy that fully accommodated a lying down massage, which really contributed to a great experience. I highly recommend Kevin's practice and look forward to going back!“

“I recently had another massage at Lucky Foot, this time with Jenny, She is an absolute healer.

The moment she began working on my back, she seemed to instinctively know exactly where my pain was coming from. She found every tight spot and worked through them with incredible skill. By the end of the session, I had more relief than I’ve ever experienced from a massage.

This was, without question, the best massage of my life. Jenny is incredibly intuitive, highly skilled, and genuinely gifted at what she does. She relieved pain that I’ve been struggling with for years, and I walked out feeling better than I have in a very long time.

If you’re dealing with pain, chronic tension, or you’re looking for real therapeutic relief—not just a relaxing massage—I cannot recommend Jenny and Lucky Foot highly enough. Jenny is an absolute gem, and I will absolutely be back.“

“I am having a great experience with my local chiropractic practice In Line Chiropractic. Dr. Cheng and his staff are great and nice people. They work with your insurance and give you quick cost charges, which are very reasonable.

I've had numerous lower back flare ups that Dr. Cheng helps me heal and get back into play. I do not feel rushed; Dr. Cheng helps prepare me with soft tissue work to loosen things up prior to adjustments. I run hot but during the winter I ask to get heat pads on problem areas on my back. The adjustment table is nice because it stretches you out in different angles.

Dr. Cheng also helps me with other problem areas on the body like shoulder or upper/lower legs and will give you tailored stretches and exercises to address and prevent other flare ups. Back, neck, shoulder, lower legs injuries can be healed with chiropractic care here.“

“Thank you Jenifer for providing targeted effective care. The focus and experience to address complicated chronic health issues is amazing. After just one treatment, I have greater stability and a lot less pain and discomfort.

I plan to refer my most in need patients to you.“

“We lovvve Cocoon Spa. I’ve been getting waxed here (brow tint shape/ brazilian) for a little over 2 years. Jessica and Jen have always been my go-to girls, delivering flawless results. My brows always make me feel so confident :)

I just finished my first appointment with Yeja P, and I am thoroughly impressed. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a painless brazilian, and her energy made it even better. Cherry on top!

Please book Yeja or Jessica for all your baddie-up keep needs!!! <3“
