Ray's skill is both in fixing muscle problems, but also explaining to you what he's found and perhaps how you could improve it. He's fixed my martial arts based injuries for many years, and I am extremely happy and satisfied with his work. Highly recommended. read more

Ray gave me a wonderful massage and he is a true expert at his craft! I got so much relief from my awful neck and back pain. He was professional and followed all covid protocols. Can't wait to have him back! read more

Ray knew exactly where my muscles needed attention and he gave me a wonderful massage. It was great to have a massage outside in my backyard during these times. I am looking forward to having him back again! read more

Flying Hands Mobile Massage - Ray performing his magic on a client at home. Isn't he charming? - Massage Near Me

Ray is an excellent massage therapist. He applied the right amount of pressure and technical skill in providing a massage for my elderly father. He is very safe with multiple COVID-19 safety protocols in place. Ray also recommended helpful exercises to improve shoulder mobility. He is incredibly professional and easy to work with. Highly recommended! All of the previous five star reviews are correct! We already plan to schedule more sessions. read more

I met Ray in 1994 while working at Electronic Arts on a project in crunch mode. Our technical director paid for us all to get a 15 minute chair massage. I have to say I was convinced a massage was the smart thing to do in some small down time to reinvorgorate. I have since had Ray into many places I have worked for myself and coworkers. read more

I reached out to Ray after reading reviews here and on Nextdoor and am glad I did. He is professional, thorough and knowledgeable. He is very diligent about all safety precautions, takes time to listen and understand what it is you need and gives an excellent massage, lots of good advice and recommendations for continued progress. read more

My physical therapist recommended Ray to massage my wrist and arm following a scooter accident. We scheduled a couple home visits and each was an hour well spent. While Ray did stretch and work my hand and arm muscles, he also pointed out that my shoulders were pretty stiff and approached the session from a holistic perspective. I felt incredibly relaxed and my arm felt very flexible following the appointment. It's been two months since the accident and I have been able to gain about 98% of my hand and wrist mobility back. I appreciate Ray's expertise and gentle technique. I highly recommend him. read more

Ray surely has healing hands.. my back was spasming past 2 days and after an hour session with Ray the spasms disappeared completely. The deep relaxation during and after his session blew my mind. He followed the Covid Protocols and called ahead to ensure I was vaccinated too. The convenience of having him come home for massage is fantastic. I wish i knew him sooner. I have no one to compare him with and there truly is no need. He surely is best in his trade and I highly recommend Ray! read more

"Woohoo! As good as it gets!" is right! Five stars really means something here! Today I'm even more happy to be a Yelper! Contact Ray and get a massage now. I mean it. Thanks Yelpers for pointing me in his direction! Best massages my partner and I have had in years. And in our own home! Rather than spending a lot of time reading my review, which I'll prevent by keeping it short, please do yourself a favor and sign up for your massage with Ray. He's so nice and very skilled. So much so, that all I want to do now is go to bed and luxuriate in post-massageness. Goodnight! read more

I've been in and out of South Bay for business/personal reasons for almost 15 years, and have been seeing Ray for almost as long after a friend recommended his talented fingers. For years, I would book a flight to San Jose and immediately email Ray to set up an appointment. I can honestly say, I don't care much for South Bay, but having a massage therapist like Ray makes it hard to think of living anywhere too far away ever again! :D Seriously - Ray is awesome. He takes time to hear about your aches and pains, works with your chiropractor's or doctor's instructions, and manages to find every knot in your body and work it out of you. Ray has always treated me with the utmost respect and courtesy. As a very curvy, heavy-breasted woman, I have never felt as comfortable in any one else's hands as I do in Ray's - I am more comfortable with Ray than even with a female massage therapist. I simply cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

For the last 8 or so years Ray has been keeping my neck and back in line and pain free. He does have a magic touch, I once said "I was fine" and he found a "spot" that wasn't fine. He'll come to your house or work place,it's that easy. I look forward to my weekly 20 minutes with Ray. read more

Ray has been coming on-site at work for over 3 years. And I've been a return customer for almost as long. Ray brings massage therapy to a level beyond other therapists I've been to. His years of experience, as well as knowledge of musculature and anatomy, assist Ray in providing one of the best experiences in massage. I've tried others and come back to this guy, and the key is communication. Ray will work with you, and tailor your experience to make the most of your time. Ray listens with his hands, so much so that his skill seems more like intuition--you don't have to say much for Ray to melt away any knot. He will almost divine where your ache is by asking a few simple questions about how your week went. And he can weave these questions into everyday conversation, mentally relaxing you, making you comfortable as well. For those 30 minutes of escape and sanctuary, I am free to recover before the weekend (Ray is a mainstay at our company every Friday.) I've learned a lot about massage as well, as Ray will tell you what happens with your body throughout the week, and how he will fix those aches and pains. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through a weekend without pressing that Reset button, one of Ray's massages. Truly a professional who enjoys what he does for a living, I recommend this guy highly. Shiatsu, deep-tissue, chair massage, he can do it all. I've often compared his work to someone with the finesse and sensitivity of tuning a piano, the accuracy and precision of a sniper, and the methodical patience of a surgeon. If you've never gotten regular massage, Ray is the perfect person to start with. And trust me...you will come back! read more

I have been going to Ray for massage for about a year. He is amazing--professional, experienced, strong, funny and overall just terrific at his job. I have previously tried massage but was not impressed or satisfied. Ray changed all that! There may be cheaper massage but I cannot imagine better massage. My younger daughter jumped on me in bed once when she was about 3 years old. Nine years later my back was still hurting. I thought it would hurt for the rest of my life. Ray was able to fix it! Six years ago I completed two years of very aggressive cancer treatment. It saved my life but left me with terrible joint pain. Again I thought I would just have to live with the pain, but after one of Ray's massages, I am usually pain-free for five days. My older daughter was a gymnast but had to leave the sport due to a back injury. Recently we learned the back injury had healed, but she still has pain. Ray was able to feel where her muscles had developed abnormally to compensate for her injury. He did massage and also showed her exercises to do at home. He is continuing to work with her on this problem, and I am sure that eventually he will have her back to normal. ***update: back pain completely relieved and still normal 5 years later*** Other positives: He lets me choose table or chair (I usually prefer table these days). No need to get undressed--he works through my clothes. He is very strong and is able to get to my muscles even through I am overweight. Though he has been licensed for many years, he still takes courses to keep himself updated and growing in his profession. I am so grateful that I found Ray. He has vastly improved my quality of life, and I hope I will be able to continue to visit him for many years to come. read more

Just wanted to update my review, since I have been a happy client of Ray's for five years now, and my opinion of his talents has only grown since when I first used his services in 2010. Ray has been able to fix any issue I needed his help with, and provided clear recommendations on how I can avoid them in the future with posture changes and exercise/stretches. Thing is, I keep finding new ways to get my muscles tied up in knots, so Ray's number stays on speed dial :) read more

One of the best massages of my life. He has an excellent knowledge of muscle structure and trigger points.

I got this for my husbands birthday gift. It was a terrible stormy night in February and I thought Ray will cancel, but he showed up on time and had no problem finding our place. His technique in massage was fantastic and my husband is very picky when it comes to getting a massage. I definitely recommend him. read more

I had Ray to my apartment on a Friday night for a 1.5 hour massage. -I told him what my acupuncturist had done with my messed up neck that day and he incorprated her healing with his approach -he was so cool to talk to -he was able to release muscles and issues I've had for years -he was a consummate professional -his price point is right on target -he explains everything he's doing on a technical level if you ask him I'm not the biggest massage connoisseur but I won't go anywhere else for a massage from now on. Ray's the man. read more

Ray was on hand during the Game Developers Conference this year for those of us who were volunteering out time. We were walking around quite a bit and Ray would help with aches and pains. If you're thinking of hiring Ray for a massage I RECOMMEND YOU STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AND GO DO IT!!! I can't recommend Ray enough, he helped me with pains and aches that I've had for months. For instance, I've had a knee problem that has caused me tons and tons of pain. I went to a doctor to get it checked out and they had no idea what was wrong. Ray was able to see EXACTLY what was going on and gave me advice on how to address and fix the problem. Not only does Ray know the ins and outs of his line of work, he is truly a man of depth and character. He has a warm, sunny disposition and is very friendly. I usually don't write reviews for services or goods because frankly I forget about it or I don't have the time. But for Ray? You better believe I can't forget about his help and you better believe I made time. Go see Ray and you'll see exactly what I mean. Thanks again Ray!! read more

The first few times I went to Ray I was just generally sore, and he always worked out the kinks and made everything relax - it was wonderful. When I went to him with a dislocated rib (ouch!) he was not only able to tell me what I had done, but loosen up the muscles around it enough to let me breath again. He's excellent at the "fluff and fold", but he's *divine* at fixing you when you're truly broken. He does appointments at his place, or he can pack up the table and show up at your's (office/house/wedding/whatever!) read more

Recently pampered myself with an hour massage from Ray. He's so relaxing and calm to be around that I calm down too (hyper type-A). He does house calls, and brings his own table, so there's nothing for you to do but enjoy your massage. One thing I especially appreciate, as a larger person, is that Ray has an extra-wide table rated for us Big Folks, as well as a chest cushion and knee blocks. That makes laying face down vastly more comfortable, whether you're fat or just pregnant! Ray's draping is professional, and he will work entirely through a drape if you request it. He'll chat easily and entertainingly with you if you like, or work quietly if you prefer it. I've always felt very safe and respected during our sessions, sometimes even falling asleep briefly. I recommend Flying Hands Massage without hesitation. Thanks for being there, Ray! read more

Ray showed up at my workplace and worked on everyone that was in that afternoon. He spent 15 minutes with each person and smoothed, soothed and healed my dear seamstresses in a way that few massage therapists achieve in twice the time. Ray is intuitive, smart, skilled, and very experienced. We all work with our hands very intensively and he went straight to work and really made some magic happen. Hooray for happy stitchers!! read more

Ray is awesome. He's soothed some really painful episodes with my shoulders when I tweaked it really bad last year. I could not lay down in my bed without yelping in pain...no pun intended. With some physical therapy and some healing touch from Ray. I'm doing much better now. I could go on to repeat what everyone else previously have said, but I'm sure you've already read it. I'll just confirm enthusiastically everything they've said. You can go to him or he can come to you. Whichever you prefer. I called him twice before where Ray came over to my hotel room and gave us a couples massage leaving us puddled in our comfy bed blissed out. (see my Cypress Hotel review. great for a romantic Valentine's night out). Ray has a soothing voice and a calming demeanor. He can do various types of massages. His touch can go from light to strong depending on your preference/need. He is constantly communicating to you and listens to your feedback to adjust what he's doing. Seriously. Call him. You'd be happy you did. read more

I've had Ray's 20-minute massages several times whenever I'm in the area, and it's always been spectacular. There's nothing like settling in for a massage after walking around all day at a convention hall, and better yet - he's already there! No need to leave the event for some much-needed relaxation. I can't recommend Ray enough. If you see him, try it out! You won't be disappointed. read more

A highly competent massage therapist who makes calls to home or office. Ray can figure out all manner of subtleties with tired and injured muscles, and has a calming demeanor that helps to banish stress. (He's also quite versatile: I've seen him working at gaming conventions with services listed as various high-grade healing spells straight out of Dungeons and Dragons.) read more

I added this tip via mobile about a month ago. I didn't realize those didn't show up as ratings for the establishments and services I posted the tip for. So here's the review, which is the same as the tip I posted. Sadly the tips only allow small limit on the number of characters b/c probably utilized mainly by mobile: Ray is awesome. Very professional. Very calming. Working at the computer all day messes up my back no matter how "ergonomic" my office equipment is. I had a 1 hour massage session at my home & he was able to work without problem even with all the distractions going on. He's mobile & he takes credit cards. I was so relaxed I completely forgot to tip him!!! I will definitely be calling on Ray again and recommending him to all my friends! read more

Stop reading this review and email, call or text Ray now. I emailed him and followed up with a text. He was able to fit me in for an hour long massage the following evening. I've had a number of great massages at high end spas--honestly Ray's technique is unlike anything I've experienced (in the best way possible). He pushes and releases trigger and tension points throughout your back and legs. I feel 10x better. Ray is the real deal, enough said. read more

Ray is the single most-talented massage therapist I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and having work on me. He has magic in his hands, and the diagnostic skill and care in his heart to implement that magic. I can't recommend him highly enough, give yourself the gift of a wonderful massage, and enjoy the benefits that last through the week! read more

The most attuned wonderful massage therapist you will ever had. I will see Ray before I see my doctor. He has been my CMT for over 15 years. He ALWAYS makes the hurts better. Try him. I swear you will love him. Ray is a god. read more

My back was spasming three times a day, my lower back and leg nerves hurt so bad I couldn't put on my shoes without crying, and I couldn't walk more than a quarter of a mile without squatting to stretch my back and rest my legs on my two mile walk home from work. I was working retail over Christmas and my back and legs were a mess from lifting and stretching. Ray did one session with me and i was back on my feet and working like nothing had happened for two weeks. I saw him again on January 23rd before a trip to Disneyland and again I was pain free and energetic until after Valentines. I will continue to see Flying Hands Mobile Massage until they can't stand the sight of me. I can't thank you enough. read more

You are reading this as you probably need massage therapy and looking for 'the' masseuse. Don't think.....just pick up the phone and call Ray! My stress level was very high.......now I am back to feeling fabulous and ready to tackle the week....all this after one 1 hr. session with Ray. Deeply grateful! read more

it's amazing what Ray's 15 minute massage can do. and at your place of work, too! To celebrate the new office move, our company brought Ray in to give massages. I was the first - and to be honest, I wasn't expecting much in a short 15 minutes. I'm a believer in massage for its health and wellness benefits, but in 15 minutes? Really? The answer is, YES. Really! He quickly found my areas of tension and worked them out with the right amount of pressure - which for me, is pretty firm. It was well-rounded and I couldn't believe how relaxed I felt after only 15 short minutes! If you're lucky enough to get Ray into your office, make sure you sign up pronto. Also: he lives in the Sunnyvale area and can make house visits as well. Thanks, Ray! read more

An amazing massage. We were visiting from Wisconsin, and he gave us a ride out of the goodness of his heart. She later bought a massage from him and I heard it was spectacular. A great man he is. read more

I've been happily going to Ray for about 14 years now. He even came over to give me a message the night before my wedding so I could sleep. He's always professional and, as a science geek, I love that he can get as technical as I need him be. Ray REALLY listens. "How does it feel to be you today?" He often asks. He makes each session uniquely suited to whatever he needs to and he manages time very effectively so he gets to all the priority areas. He's learned a wide variety of techniques so we can do regular message, a really deep tissue message when needed or even intense stretching, all depending on what my body needs and my comfort level. He's helped me to recover from several surgeries and the fact that he brings his own gear to my house (or to work, or conventions) really helped me to heal. He's entertaining and effective. Really a great guy to know. Bottom line, I've never had a bad massage from Ray and I've referred many of our friends to him without any complaints. He's a wonderfully supportive man and he does have hands of healing. Flying Hands Massage is worth more than 5 stars! Try him! read more

My husband gave me this a an anniversary gift. All i have to say is THANK YOU. One if the better massages i've had. It was just right and very very professional!!! read more

I've been searching for a strong massage therapist who has great touch, and found Ray. Due to multiple congenital defects of my spine and being up and about all day every day with my hyperactive child, my shoulders, neck and back has rock hard knots causing headaches that ibuprofen and naproxen could not handle. I need deep tissue/trigger point massages in the right areas, and Ray is as good as they come. I was also looking for someone affordable, and he can massage for as little as 15 minutes or 30 minutes, very effectively. He really cares about his work and his patients, trying to figure out the root cause of the problem. And my massages are in a chair, fully clothed, very professional, if that is a concern. Thanks for your help, Ray! read more

Ray has been my massage therapist for nearly two decades. He has an almost intuitive way of figuring out what hurts, where, and why-- intuition backed up with solid knowledge of anatomy and long experience with athletes, office workers, and the many ways it's possible to mess yourself up. When you're pulling long hours on a stressful project at work, or when you've pushed your body to the limit and you're feeling the effects-- do yourself a favor and call Ray. Five stars! read more

WOW just got a massage from Ray and it was the best. I got a lower back pain from lifting the weights the wrong way and spent the whole night in the pain. Hence called up Ray to schedule an appointment. All i can say is that he is amazing and he knows what exactly to do after he did some initial check up and i feel much better now ... I would definitely recommend Ray again and would continue to get massages from him. I think he is the best in the business. Thanks Ray!!! :) read more

Ray has a way to take it all away. So far I've only been able to get chair massage from him but he has a magic touch. Somehow he always knows where the stress is, sure you tell him where it hurts but he somehow figures out what you really need. His touch is kind and never rough. And his "there there" at the end of all massages always makes me feel like I can take on whatever comes next. Thank you Ray! read more
