The holiday season can be stressful so my favorite way to relax is to treat myself to a massage in my own home. This year I've been dealing with pain in my neck, shoulder and right arm that nothing else seemed to cure so I opted for a deep tissue massage with Liam of Backspace Mobile Massage. He came to my home, brought his table and soothing spa like music while he worked on my pain areas for 1 and 1/2 hours. That was exactly what I needed - the pain is gone! It is so relaxing to have massage done in your own home instead of having to go somewhere to have a massage. This is my third visit with Backspace. I have no need for any other massage after finding them. read more

When I had an emergency work call around the time they arrived, this companies owner agreed to reschedule my 2 hour massage and I would pay them one of the two hours for the drive time it took to get to my house. Instead, after agreeing to all of this, they avoided my calls for several months, then informed me they are keeping my money and not rescheduling me for even an hour massage. This company stole 100% of my $260 for no services rendered and backed out of the agreement we had in person. They are thieves with no integrity. Don't give them your money. read more

Having a very hurt foot and on crutches and being immobile results in your whole body hurting to compensate and nowhere to go. Finding Backspace was a godsend and Susan was terrific! Kind, great at what she does and on time. I could just stay in my own place and relax. Thank you Susan! read more

I arranged this at-home massage with Susan for my husband. Compared with other massages, he said this was the best. During the massage she was very responsive to his feedback and was very intuitive about how much pressure he needed, where, etc. He also felt better and slept much better for several days afterwards. I am jealous. read more

I've been a long time client of Susan's. She always gives me an excellent massage. I'm having knee issues and after she was done, I was able to walk around unlike before. Professional and prompt too. read more

Had a great massage with Susan. She worked out my knots with the perfect amount of pressure. It was great.

Just had my first massage at home with Susan and can't recommend her enough!! Best massage I've had in a long time. Having the massage at home was convenient and Susan brought everything needed to make it as comfortable as it would be at a spa. My husband and I booked massages back to back because we have young kids at home. Susan was kind, professional, and very skilled. I'll definitely be booking again soon! read more

It was my first ever back massage and definitely won't be my last! Thank you to my employers at SFMOMA for having you guys come on Thursday, it definitely helped lot. That day my back was hurting after tweaking it two days prior, and the man that worked on my back did wonders! He was to so firm yet gentle with the massage that it was so relaxing!! Plus the atmosphere and how they set up the White Box was cute! And thank you for the coconut water and yummy treats! How he fixed my back was by having me push my arm back against his arm, while he pushed in on the area where my back was tight and we both heard and felt 'pop' or 'crack'. Since then my back is almost back to normal and definitely less painful. I never caught his name but thank you!!! read more

Great service and super convenient, considering they coke to your house! Would definitely recommend.

I received an in-home massage for my birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better gift in the midst of all the chaos in my life at the time. Not knowing what to expect, I was initially hesitant and doubtful but Susan was a dream. She had a calm demeanor and put me at ease. I was transported to a happy place for those 90 mins. It was marvelous and I can't wait to do it again! read more

Had a great 15-minute massage at work! Especially appreciated that the massage therapist made sure to encourage me to let them know if I was comfortable in the chair and adjusted it as needed. Then encouraged me not to settle but give feedback again until I was even more comfortable! read more

We have used Susan's expertise to work with my husband with Parkinson's Disease. The in-home service is very much appreciated, and she has been extremely kind, accommodating and patient. He is benefiting from the massage and has decreased pain. Recommend her services without reservation. Thank you Susan! We will see you again!! read more

I've had literally hundreds of massages & Backspace is GREAT. Have had massages with 2 therapists here. Previous massage was great but it was long enough ago I can't remember details & didn't have time to write a review at the time. Did massage with Liam this time & he was amazing - he pretty much reached right down into my upper back & shoulder muscles & pulled out the pain. Definitely one of the best massages I've ever had. I find their services very reasonably priced especially since they come to your house. They are super professional & easy to deal with. I also like that you can see the experience & specialties of each therapist & pick the one you want. I've done another at home massage service before but I will be sticking with Backspace going forward not the other service. They're very chill & easy to reach on the phone to ask any questions. Seriously, magic! read more

I bought a gift of a massage for my daughter and asked her to write a little something about the experience. It wasn't her first time having a massage from Liam at BackSpace but this is what she wrote. I think she summed it up perfectly. I will add that reaching out to Liam & working with him to arrange this was the easiest interaction I've ever had. He's a GEM. Thank you Liam! HER REVIEW: Liam is the best massage therapist I've ever had in my life. Period. And I've had a lot. Experienced, attentive, strong, professional. Look no further. read more

My wife set me up with a 90 minute massage from Liam and I didn't know what to expect, except strong hands and a housecall. I really liked that aspect... not having to go anywhere afterwards while I was in an ultra-relaxed haze. I got to play my own music... and a good jazz disc is a much better thing to listen to than all the new age stuff! Things I thought while getting this massage: 1) Man, he's really finding all the spots. 2) We're working together combining my breaths with his moves. 3) This has gotta be acupressure. I haven't gotten that per se before, but I felt him moving along the meridians and pulling energy out along his fingers. It's kind of like shiatsu, only with more of a long pull than the closely-spaced pushes. Indeed, it was acupressure. 4) I didn't realize my hamstrings and calves had this much tied up muscle. 5) Was I just sleeping? I've had a lot of massages... this one was definitely top tier. read more

Liam and team came to do a corporate event for us and it was great. Super communicative prior and did great work onsite. I highly suggest using the Backspace team if you are looking for a fun event activation that draws a crowd to your booth/space/event. read more

Ahhhh...the best way to celebrate the first day of being fully vaccinated was getting a massage. From a covid perspective, their entire team is fully vaccinated and still taking extra precautions to make sure everyone is safe. We felt so comfortable having Susan and Liam in our home for a couple's massage (shh don't tell our family or friends who we haven't let linger in our home until now). We were super last minute with scheduling but Susan was able to get us squared away just two hours before they came over. You provide your own sheets to cover the table, which by the way is heated (amaaaazinggg). My massage with Susan was great! She really worked on the areas I asked her to concentrate on and was attentive to an injury that I'm rehabbing. It was the fastest 90 minutes of my life. My partner also loved his massage with Liam and said that he was good at finding knots and working through the entire muscle group to release them. Their prices are super fair. Better than ordering a Zeel or Soothe, and the standard of care is high compared to rolling the dice with some of the other on-demand massage companies. We definitely found our new go-to therapists. Can't wait for our next treatment! read more

Liam is an INCREDIBLY talented masseuse. I was in pain from all the tight muscles and really needed someone who was strong, could go really deep into the muscles and very careful with my multiple injuries. As a woman, I am usually only comfortable with women but no more! He is totally trustworthy and respectful. I was worried I would not relax enough in my house w kid and dogs outside the room but Liam worked magic. This was my first time but definitely NOT my last!!!! read more

Liam gave me a 90 minute massage a couple days ago... one of the best massages I've ever had. He is most definitely is a good find! Professional, skilled & excellent value. He brought his own mini surround sound speaker with great playlist of soothing music, a nice body cream instead of oil, and all the massage equipment to our apartment. I liked that he didn't talk during the massage unless I initiated a conversation... always nice when you want to just float in the music and pleasure . read more

It was a perfect Valentine's Day activity - couples massage in our home! It was so simple to book, the set up was easy, and Susan our massage therapist, was incredibly friendly and talented! We are all in need of a little human touch these days. I would highly recommend Backspace to anyone looking for a great massage in the comfort of their own home! Picture this... fire crackling, our own playlist of music, the pup relaxing nearby ... it was so relaxing and just what my body needed fit some much needed self care. Thanks Susan! read more

I recently had Liam do a massage for my boyfriend (his first professional massage ever) and he absolutely loved it! Liam was so nice, communicative, and professional. He did such a wonderful job and has set the bar high for future massages to come. Thank you again Liam we highly recommend your services!! read more

Grateful to Liam for his work today. I'm recovering from whiplash due to a recent car accident and have been suffering from terrible neck, shoulder, wrist and upper back pain. Liam worked the problem areas and did an excellent job. He created a peaceful environment with his setup and calming music. The setup was clean, fast and simple. He also shared some helpful tips when I asked him about my problem areas. He is friendly, professional, punctual, skillful, and effective. Highly recommend him and his team at BackSpace. (What a creative, clever name, too!) Book him now! read more

It was mine and my husbands first time utilizing BackSpace and definitely will not be the last. We were on our babymoon celebrating the upcoming arrival of our baby girl and we wanted to do something relaxing. Instead of going to a spa, we thought it would be nice to have a mobile massage come to us. BEST DECISION EVER. Susan and Ellen performed our couples pregnancy massage and it was perfect! Susan was super easy to communicate with. She made it clear all the things that were needed for the massage and even made some accommodations to ensure we were services the day we requested. Thank you BackSpace!! read more

Scheduled Liam for a massage as a birthday treat. I had a great experience: on-time arrival, great massage, relaxing music. I will definitely book again! read more

Just had my first massage with Liam and it was so great, I've already booked several more. After going 15 months without a massage during the pandemic, I had very high expectations for this massage, and it lived up to it. I like a true deep tissue massage, and often find I have to request more pressure, but Liam was excellent and I didn't have to make any requests for changes. I felt very safe during the massage, given all of the covid precautions as well. Highly recommend! read more

Liam was amazing! I am so grateful he was able to make a morning appt I made the evening before and I have felt great since our session on Sunday morning! Will definitely book again :) read more

This review is for Susan! Thank you so much for a wonderful massage for my mom. She said that you were extremely calming, attentive, and professional. She especially appreciated the heated massage table, the frequent check-ins to see how she was doing, as well as the peaceful music. The booking process was very simple, even on mobile which was nice. I was able to book the massage the night before and there were multiple time slots available. for the price, professionalism, and convenience, this can't be beat. read more

Backspace was great. I woke up Monday morning after a difficult weekend. I was feeling pretty tore up and decided some self care was a necessity. A massage, that's the ticket. Not having the energy or inclination to even leave my house, i yelped "in Home massage" and found Backspace. I called at 9:00, booked Liam for 90 minutes at noon. On time, professional and a great massage therapist. This was the first, won't be the last. read more

I was having some unexpected and serious back pain for 3 nights in a row. That kind of back pain is very unusual and unexpected for me and I did not know what to do. My wife booked me a last minute massage with Liam. Everything was excellent. Booking was easy. On arrival, my room became a massage table and ambient music in minutes, and on departure it was similarly quick. The massage was great, and really loosened up my back . . .and the best news was . . .the following night I didn't have the severe pain. Overall a great experience. I would use them again . . . either for targeted help like this, or for just a nice, relaxing massage. read more

Second time my back has gone out, second time Liam has saved the day. On-time, professional and with a good playlist, the experience is all around luxurious but at an affordable price for in-home. Six stars if possible, and I won't for my back to go out again til my next massage with Backspace. read more

This was an amazing experience. I got this as a surprised gift for my husband who really wanted a massage but did not feel comfortable going to an indoor location. Liam arrived early to set up and gave the best massage. My husband said it was the best experience he has had in 2 years! read more

I got my wife a massage with Susan for Valentine's Day, it was a hit. Very easy to schedule and communicate, Susan arrived right on time and my wife said it was an excellent session. Looking forward to the next one. read more

Susan is wonderful - on time, communicative, strong hands, an excellent masseuse. What else is there to say?

Susan did an amazing job on my back. You really never know who you're going to get when you book a massage and if there's going to be good chemistry, with Susan it felt like being with an old friend. She has a great presence and really paid attention to my needs, asking questions along the way and allowing me to guide her. I booked a 60 minute and extended it to 90- that's how good she is and how much I enjoyed it! You won't be disappointed with Susan or BackSpace. They took the time to listen to my needs when I called to inquire and helped with the process of booking. Nothing tops having it done in the comfort of your own home as well! I highly recommend. read more

Our office had a last minute idea to get massages this year. I started calling mobile massage businesses at 730am on Mother's Day, not expecting to get any responses back on such a busy day. Susan from Backspace picked up my call immediately and was so accommodating. Liam + Lito arrived at our offices a few hours later and we were so thrilled! Would definitely recommend. Thanks, Backspace team! read more

Backspace came to our office for 2 days - they were easy to work with, followed through, showed up on time, and made our staff very happy! Great service, professional and wonderful experience overall. Well done Backspace! read more

EVERYTIME, Liam Rocks it. I've been to many massage Therepist and Liam is super skilled and is able to provide the deeper pressure I need in addition to his knowledge of how all the muscles interact. Super punctual, friendly and not the talk your ear off kind....he is the perfect mix in addition to fixing my migraines, back aches ect. The fact he comes to my house so I don't need to leave my elderly dog is just heaven on a massage table! Thank you Back Space! read more

Liam is incredible! Best 90 minutes of my pandemic. I haven't had a massage in almost a year, and since my family booked it for me, I wasn't sure it would be up to snuff, but now I will definitely go back. He set up the heated massage table in my backyard, he wore a mask the whole time, and I wore a mask during the part when I was facing up. He asked what I was looking for and listened well, providing excellent pressure and knowing where to focus. He is very knowledgeable, and was able to give me recommendations as a new mom with nursing-related back pain. Thank you!!! read more

Beyond impressed. Booked a back to back couples massage last minute on a Sunday and was able to get an appointment within a few hours. Liam showed up early and was one of the best masseuses we've ever had. He even came prepared with his own speaker and an awesome playlist. Liam started by asking what areas we wanted to focus on and if there were any sensitive spots to avoid. He was very sensitive to applying the right pressure at the right time. My 60 minute massage was more relaxing and rejuvenating than most two hour massages I've had at other places. Very happy to have found someone so good for such an affordable price -- and I don't even have to leave the house. read more

We scheduled Liam for a massage this past week, three weeks after I had given birth, and it was incredibly wonderful. Liam was very safe with his COVID procedures, set up quickly and easily in our home, had a great playlist, and was so intuitive with areas that he knew my body would need extra attention after an event like giving birth. I love a firm and targeted massage where I have soreness, and he definitely delivered. I'm already looking forward to the next time we schedule a massage with him! read more
