Massage in Redwood City

“Great service, best place in REC for a deep tissue massage. They really focus on your problem areas.“

“I love Dr. Wang. I’ve seen many bodyworkers & acupuncture specialists for various chronic pain issues over 10+ years, and he is one of the best.“

“My review of Stephania Humphrey sounds like the others here, I came in with severe sciatica symptom pain that has plagued me for a year now, and this was a last-ditch effort to find some kind of care to avoid surgery. I had lumbar surgery 25 years ago, did not want another, and had seen specialist MDs (including prednisone pills and epidural cortisone injections), lots of physical therapy, and chiropractor during this past year, to no avail. I did get some improvement from an anti-inflammatory diet, but what has really helped me get my life back (in only 4 sessions) is the treatment from Stephania - especially the deep tissue massage. Wow; Truly worth it. Thank you, Stephania!“

“I had my first session with Colleen last week. I let her know I pulled a calf muscle and lot of tightness on my shoulders/neck. She suggested deep tissue and a sports massage which was a great call. I actually fell asleep for a moment but I also felt the strength of her technique. Colleen stood out to me not only because of her technique but also because she took time to sit down and talk to me before the session. She gave me helpful tips on how to make the most of the massage as well.

Excellent work Colleen. My wife will be reaching out and see you in April for our next session!“

“The therapist’s touch is just what I needed—so soothing and effective at relieving pain.“

“I went back because of some lower back pain and needed immediate attention. A different person was there and although the place is a little run down, she did a great job and no gimmicks with the amount of time paid for this time. 4 stars“

“I've been to dozens of different reflexology / chinese type massage places over the last 20 years, but Avee 9 is clearly the best place by a LOT.

Now it should be understood that I like a massage that some would consider way too hard. I want the mass of the titanic with the anger of a teenager thrust into my back with explosive force. This is obviously not for everyone.

Jennifer and Yoyo ( I am probably spelling them incorrectly ) are soooooo good at what they do. Both of them can do a walk on back technique without a towel covering that allows them to dig their heels into my lower back while sliding them forward while using oil. It's incredible.

When they switch to their hands you can feel them hunting for knots, discovering issues and working them out. If they do happen to miss something just ask. They are happy to help.

There are many common issues I see with some other Chinese reflexology places. Those issues include uneven massaging ( ex: rubbing the right shoulder blade for 4 minutes then skipping the left ), extremely light pressure, no knowledge of proper pressure points, using too much oil, loud bickering in chinese between co-workers, unstable when using walk on back technique and falling into a memorized routine without paying attention to the clients body.

Sometimes you get a place that avoids 90% of these problems and that's a damn good massage. Avee 9 avoids all the problems and does the BEST job.

The ONLY issues that I have with this place are the noise & parking. It's not particularly quiet and the two parking spots in the back can be full via locals in the neighborhood. To me it's still worth it. I work hard physical jobs that worsen my sciatica and need a massage to get me back to work. A little noise and parking at petco is no big deal. Additionally, It's quite small so there is no room for a shower which is a bummer but that's not a deal breaker.

I moved from Redwood City to South San Francisco recently and tried a local place for convenience and WOW it was truly AWFUL in comparison. I am done trying different places. I know I will never find a place as good as Avee 9.

Is it a fancy spa with bamboo signage, facials and a sauna? Not at all. But if you need Thor's hammer thrust in your back at speed this is the place to go.

Calling ahead is always the best option and tip WELL. I always do and they take phenomenal care of me. 10/10 would recommend.“

“I had a good experience at this massage spa. The space was clean and quiet, and the staff were polite and professional.

The massage itself was solid. The therapist focused on the areas I mentioned and adjusted the pressure when needed. It wasn’t overly intense, but it helped relieve some tension, especially in my shoulders and back.

Overall, it’s a reliable place if you’re looking for a decent massage in a calm environment. I’d consider coming back.“

“Saw Susan for my first colonic ever and she was awesome. Explained everything throughly answered all the questions I had and was very knowledgeable. Very good experience and I've already booked another appointment.“

“If you are looking for a really great massage at a good price then I highly recommend coming here! You will not regret it. You will feel like a new person, best massage ever!“

“Stephán is the best massage therapist! I have intense chronic shoulder and neck pain and have been to so many massage therapist, and he’s the only one who can work out the knots and super tight spots. Amazing techniques and just the right pressure.“

“I’ve had the best massages here—better than anywhere else in the Bay Area. Betty gives incredible deep tissue massages with just the right amount of pressure, and Mario is excellent at focusing on problem areas like shoulders where stress tends to build up. On top of that, they offer a private redwood sauna that you can enjoy before or after your massage, which is such a relaxing bonus. Highly recommend!“

“I was having back pain for weeks when my doctor recommended me to see Dr Robinson. She did an amazing job adjusting my back which made it much better. The therapist was very nice and the staffing were nice.“

“Amazing acupuncture!!! After acupuncture by acupuncturist Huang. Our muscles felt so relaxed and the pain was gone! I will go to continue the appointment with acupuncturist huang by every week. that is the only thing I can stick to is acupuncture，because I can see the results！“

“I had a running injury on my hip for weeks, and after only three sessions with Dr. Sterling Hancock, I completely recovered. He was very knowledgeable and resourceful. Not only did he treat me, but he also recommended reading materials for injury prevention. I have been healthy for months but plan to return for a check-up and recommend his service to other athletes.“

“My neck, shoulders and chest are much better than before, great deep work, what you can’t do yourself with self massage tools“

“Best experience from the receptionist, massage therapist, stretch therapy, and chiropractor. So very grateful for the wonderful care I received“

“My favorite massage spa in the area. Super clean and the front door staff is always super nice even when i stop in w/o an appointment. I'm a former athlete and always need regular massages but the team here always takes care of me with some of the best and strongest massages I've had anywhere“

“Great massage with steady pressure and smooth technique, my neck pain felt noticeably better afterward.“

“I regularly go to Nancy and Edgar at Massage Envy in Redwood City; they are both great therapists. I like deep tissue and they both provide the right amount of pressure for me. Edgar also includes some stretching in his practice, which I often need due to sitting for long hours at work. He regularly checks in with you about the degree if pressure throughout your session. I always walk out feeling relaxed. Also, Front desk staff is very friendly and professional.“

“I am so grateful to Dr Beth at Many Lives for helping me navigate a high risk pregnancy.
My first pregnancy ended at 32 weeks due to severe preeclampsia and for my second pregnancy, I was referred to Dr Beth by my doula to help manage my blood pressure and prevent preterm delivery. I am so grateful she and the Many Lives team were part of my pregnancy journey. My blood pressure was controlled my entire pregnancy and I experienced all of the other amazing benefits of acupuncture from heartburn relief to stress management and eventually encouraging labor and optimal fetal positioning. I got to my induction date at 39 weeks and baby was in a perfect position. I highly recommend Many Lives to any women who are looking for ways to prevent and manage preeclampsia and hypertension.“

“I came here for treatment after a car accident and couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. The staff is extremely professional, organized, and efficient, which makes every visit smooth and stress-free. The chiropractor services are truly superior, and I really appreciate that they even offer massage beforehand to help relax and loosen up before treatment. They also provide spinal decompression therapy, which is not easy to find and has been a huge benefit in my recovery. Overall, this office goes above and beyond in both service and quality of care—I highly recommend them!“

“Had such a pleasant experience today for my first treatment with Amy. My Hydrafacial was relaxing and I really appreciated how thorough of a job she did. My skin was deep cleaned, hydrated and glowy when I left! I highly recommend you give Amy a try.“
