Santee Massage - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Jul 2022

I work with computers and as a result of COVID found myself working long hours in front of a computer. Over time I developed a tightening neck and shoulder and back pain. I realized I needed of a professional therapeutic massage therapist to get back to a good place.I did some research on yelp and was very impressed with the comments I found about April and Santee Massage.The office complex where April's business Santee Massage is close to the Ramada Inn in Santee. Her office is easy to find, it is the first office on the left (lower level). She shares this location with two talented acupuncture specialists.When you meet April you will find she is very personable and smart.She has over ten years of experience and has gone to school far surpassing time studying massage techniques off many studying this field. She is an expert.Before starting to work on me April asked targeted questions that came from over ten years experience. These questions helped her maximize the time she she spent doing the therapeutic massage. The detail of the questions let me know I was in good experienced hands. Some issues she covered were asking me If I wanted targeted massage specific to my areas in pain verses general massage.The massages was given Small office room one well suited with lights that can be dimmed and aromas to help enhance the therapeutic massage experience. She has a high quality table with a light blanket and sheet below. She even has fans that give a reassuring breeze while she works.Her skill has lead to many returning customers.As she worked on me I could see that her high reviews on Yelp were well deserved.She obviously knows what she is doing. She works with her hands following a guided plan. In her head Her pre-questions now act as a map she uses to move from one area to the next. She worked not only on areas that were causing me pain but also other areas as well. She explained to me how everything when it comes to your body and pain is interrelated. She had special methods she knows like holding up my legs up and folding them towards the main frame of my body relieving tension in my lower back (genius). All her training and knowledge she has gained in those ten years is paying off.From start to end April is very thorough she made sure as she worked that I was ok and not in pain from any of the work she was doing. She adjusted her techniques as needed. From my first appointment I can say April shows a sincere interest in wanting to help.She, because she is good is very busy. You may need a couple of weeks to be able to see her.Post massage:The overall experience was better than expected.I am very happy with the overall results. Yes I am a bit sore, but that is a good thing and to be expected, I think.She makes no promises but is so efficient at what she does that I truly believe she will be successful in helping me over time.Her prices are fair.I plan on seeng her for more sessions until my pain is under control. I fully believe April will using her skills help me feel a lot better. I highly recommend her. She has proven to me that she is very good at what she does.

Amazing place. I wanna start with the room - was really clean. Nice music, good smell give you so deep relaxing. Deep tissue massage is great. A bit painful in the beginning, when they just started "picking up" mussels and right after a couple of seconds your mussels become like jelly. Relaxed and lazy. You never know what kind of master you get and how is he (she) gonna do that. In my case I've got lucky and got absolutely amazing one. I was so relaxed, couldn't even remember the name of the master. Thank you and see you soon.

I went for my first visit yesterday and it was amazing! April is very professional and respectful but most of all she is absolutely amazing at finding and fixing the soreness from head to toe. She is awesome and I am looking forward to my next visit. Michael K.
