Sangjin is excellent. He has a deep understanding of shiatsu technique — firm pressure, precise work, and he listens to what your body actually needs. I always leave feeling noticeably better than when I walked in. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone who really knows what they're doing.

I booked a massage with Sangjin, and he was amazing. I have been going to Hide's for 20+ years, so I am definitely a shiatsu snob. Sangjin exceeded all my expectations. He is an excellent communicator. He is very efficient with his iron thumbs and elbows. Not one minute was wasted as he hit ALL the right pressure points. I liked his pace and his perfect pressure. I felt comfortable and cared for. I will be going back to see him soon!

Sangjin at Hide's Shiatsu (Torrance) is a phenomenal massage therapist. I've been to many massage therapists for the last two decades to address my chronic neck and back pain; I am lucky to have found Sangjin. He has the uncanny ability to know what muscles are causing pain/tension (including headaches) and how to massage effectively. Sangjin is also very kind, professional, and caring. The facility is clean and peaceful.
