My boyfriend & I came. He was massaged by Connie & I was massaged by Coco. Amazing! They went beyond our expectations & we only did the 30 minute massage. Expect a simple set up with not much frill in regard to the environment. But that's not something my boyfriend & I really focus on. We're both deep tissue kind of people with specific areas of pain. You can tell they have techniques for dealing with it. Elbows, nice grip, areas that has good pain. We will be back! read more

Rude experience. I was there today 5/10. The lady with short hair was asking for at least $20 tip. Never going again. read more

Although it says the place is closed it is not. Previously they used to have a good customer service. Nowadays the Chinese ladies providing the services there are so rude and always asking for tips. $5 is not enough for their service. I asked to speak with the manager and the lady responded that their manager is never there. Place should be closed by the city. read more

Very unassuming, no frills or thrills type of place. I've been lax in my self care recently and was in dire need of pain relief. Had some kinks in every area of my body from my neck to my shoulders, down my back and into my hip. I've also tried all sorts of therapy for my arm but it's still not healed after 7 months. Saw lots of reviews for Connie so I gave it a shot with the 90 mins pain relief (with medicine oil) and cupping (+$10). She is indeed strong which was exactly what I needed. I usually have to ask my other masseuses to go harder but not Connie. She did check every so often to make sure I was ok and if she needed to ease up on the pressure. Very surprised when she stepped on my back like a Thai massage - it was glorious! Also loved how she spent a lot of time massaging the base of my cranium, neck and shoulders when others usually just gloss over it. There were several heat sacks placed on my body throughout the session to help loosen me up which was very comfortable. The medicated oil worked wonders in relieving some of that stubborn tension. She could feel that I had toxins in my body but appreciated that she didn't try to upsell me even though I wanted it anyways as an add-on. It's the legit fire cupping and it really drew out all the gunk. After my session, I felt so much looser, relaxed and ready for a giant nap. Best $146 I've spent in a while (before tip) and I'll definitely be coming back to see Connie on the regular. read more

This place is amazing. I have Ben there twice now And it's never a disappointment. The first time I got a deep tissue massage by Coco, it was great. Now I just hit pain relief, and let me tell you, I walked outta there, a new woman I will be returning and recomend them if you having back pain or whatever this is the place to go read more

Oh my, the massages at this location are excellent; I can tell they went to school back East, as this is more of a Chinese medicine practice. The prices are a bit higher than other locations in the area, but you will come out feeling refreshed and ready for anything that comes your way. I highly recommend you stop by to see how much muscle tension you thought you did not have once they carefully steamroll over your back and neck muscles with their exquisite elbow techniques. Five stars read more

They're great of their massages but they really need a receptionist. They're never in the room the whole time you paid for running back-and-forth and talking about each other through the Massage when you're trying to relax and you pay $100 it's just doesn't make sense. They really need a receptionist!!!! read more

I was molested here (yesterday)! I feel so uncomfortable writing this but I hope no one else goes through what I went through. Not sure how I can make this review to 0 stars. I got a 90 minute medicine oil massage + cupping with Lanson, & he massaged my inner pelvic bone/thigh as he was doing it I froze up & thought maybe it was normal until he started touching the outside of my private parts. The drape was covering my private part & a couple times he removed it & I know this because I felt cold air flowing throughout the massage in that area. I did not pay $135 ($125 90 min + $10 cupping) to feel sexually assaulted, when I made a noise that I was uncomfortable he just asked "are you in pain or ticklish?" Every time I tried to speak up, he would say I had toxins or acted like he couldn't speak English. At some point I froze up & didn't know what to do as he put something over my face to cover my eyes also. I rarely write reviews in general, I've been getting massages for years from different places all over the world. But I have never experienced this, it sucks because this place is good at massages (taking out knots, etc.) but I did not feel relaxed instead of I feel disgusted for being touched inappropriately. I'm not sure what I can do moving forward as with authorities, etc. I thought maybe it was normal or a pressure point/spot I never paid attention to but he never once even asked what areas I needed work on to begin with.. I hope this review helps, please be careful. Lastly, apparently the owner isn't coming back until February, I understand this is not a fancy/hotel spa or whatever maybe I shouldn't have been fully nude for a full body massage here but if you're going to charge $100+ for a massage please provide cotton underwear or at least train your workers more on what is inappropriate! I have so many negative things I can say about this place but I'd rather focus on the sexual assault. read more

Healthy Massage - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

Connie is my life saver! I went to her for my shoulder pain and the first time I did one hour with her. Two days later, my shoulders felt so much better. I also did cupping for the first time and she cupped my upper shoulder and told me that I have frozen shoulders and that's why I've been feeling pain and that I must treat it before it gets worse. I listened to her and went the following week to treat the pain and after an hour and a half of pain treatment with the Chinese oil, I felt instant relieve! I went again because I woke up with a huge neck pain. I was in so much pain, I even had trouble looking down. I did the one and a half hour pain treatment with her and she did cupping around my neck area as well. Before my session with her ended, she helped me cracked my neck and my lower legs! OMG I love her!!! I plan to go once a week to treat my frozen shoulders. The place says they accept walk-in but I recommend calling the place first and make sure you ask for Connie! I've had Lanson worked on me and he was also pretty good! No private parkings available but finding a parking there was pretty easy for me. Just fyi, there's only one hour parking on Geneva Ave. If you plan on staying there longer, there are residential areas where you can park all day. read more

I was sexually assaulted by Lanson. I didn't post a review immediately because I thought I didn't want to be dramatic. After over a year and still having traumatic flashbacks, I see that many other women are reporting the same experience. My boyfriend and I had been coming to Lanson regularly for a long time and I felt like we could trust each other. We referred so many people during the time we were regular customers. He started with my breast and laughed at me when I pushed his hands away. I thought I was maybe overreacting but when I came back the next time the sexual assault was much worse. I never returned after that. I regret not going to the police. This not a safe place. read more

60 for Traditional Chinese Acupressure Massage~~ YES ALL DAY!! Connie is definitely a work of magic. She's a healer. If you have any problems with your back neck or arm, she will fix you with her massage. This is not a place where you want to get a soft touch massage. I've been to many massage spas in my life and truly, this is top notch. For $60, you cannot go wrong. Yes there will be some noise in the background but it is worth it. I will definitely go back. Ask for Connie. You're welcome! read more

The owner is the best. Really knows what he is doing. I feel taller and longer after each massage. He really knows how to zero in the knots and tension with out over working the area with great firm pressure read more

I've had pain and tension in my neck and shoulders as far as I can remember and most massages only touch upon loosening up all that hardened fascia. Lanson at Healthy Massage really dug in and helped me feel much better after our 90-min session. Upon getting situated on the massage table, he immediately asked me what area I wanted to focus on and whether I had pain anywhere. Lanson fastidiously worked on all my pain points and I really enjoyed the medicinal menthol oil and heat pack add-on. The space felt clean, but it is semi-private (the upper most one foot of the enclosed room partitions are open for ventilation). I wore a surgical mask during the entire massage for peace of mind. This spot is legit acupressure massage, so be prepared! Well worth the money and I will definitely be back! Also, Yelp says they close at 7, but their hours are 11am-9pm, closed Tuesdays. Call to make an appointment. read more

This place has two massage therapists: Lanson and Connie. I've not worked with Connie, but I went to Lanson first for a 30 minute massage and then for a 60 minute massage. He is my new best friend. He is a highly trained massage therapist. Although there is a language barrier because I only speak English and he is not fluent in English, we had no trouble communicating. He knew exactly when I was in pain and how to treat the trouble areas. For my 60 minute massage, he started on my neck and shoulders, a little bit on my head, and then my arms and pecks. Then he had me turn over and worked on my back, hips, and legs. I like that he used these heated beanbags as well as some kind of menthol rub at certain spots. I ended up tipping him double what I intended to when I arrived, because he just plain earned it. Everyone was wearing masks. They clean well in between customers. The place has a calming Chinese Buddhist vibe, including music. read more

I called on a Friday to inquire if they offered prenatal massage. The man answered, "No problem," with a Chinese accent. I made an appointment for the next morning, Saturday at 10am. Just as I was pulling up and parking, he called to remind me that I had made an appointment. I told him I'd be right in. This is a no frills traditional massage business. It smelled strongly of eucalyptus and herbs. The man greeted me and showed me the price chart on the wall. I asked for a lady masseuse and he said then it would be a 30 minute wait. I said, "no problem." He kindly brought me hot water while I waited. 20 minutes later, he showed me to my room and introduced me to Connie. She was a bit distracted at the start of our massage. Going in and out of the room, and finishing up with another client. The rooms don't have roofs, and it's easy to hear everything going on. Connie was very strong . Her massage is not the relaxing kind where you fall asleep, but the kind where muscles are sore the next day. She has strong hands and was able to locate all my tension. She knew of prenatal massage protocol and used a light touch on my lower back as well as kept me on my sides. She was friendly and we had small talk. I would recommend Connie, but be sure to set your expectations, and be ready for her strong hands. That night, I had amazing sleep thanks to Connie's massage. read more

Stumbled upon this place and so glad I did. I had Macy for a 60min oil massage. She wore a n95 mask the whole time (& I kept my mask on as well). Macy had a nice, firm pressure and found all my knots. I didn't even have to point out the spots I wanted to have worked on; she just found them. It was a full body massage, including scalp down to the feet. She uses oil as well as massage over a blanket. Overall, would highly recommend this place. I hear the other 2 massage therapists are also good. I woke up the next morning pleasantly sore from the wonderful massage. The ambiance is nice, simple with Chinese music gently flowing. I would say the quality of this massage matches or exceeds fancy spa massages. There is a heater in the room that keeps the temperature at a nice degree. The heated bags are a nice touch too. Relaxing! read more

Its a traditional Chinese massage place where you can can get a massage for 55 dollars an hour. I had several tight spots on my back prior visiting the place and the therapist was able to relieve the symptoms by paying a close attention to the area. I will be back - the price is right and its in my neighborhood... read more

My girlfriend and I went in for a deep tissue massage and left with more range of motion in our bodies than we'd felt in years. I didn't get the names of the staff but I want to thank them for giving us a much needed reset. read more

I call this the Excelsior quickie body shop and I mean that in a totally legit and endearing way. On a Friday afternoon, I wanted to step into my weekend with some chill vibes so I called to see if I could come in the next 15 minutes and the man on the phone, in broken English said yes so I showed up without an appointment and was ready for a cheap, strong, and no frills massage. Warning: NOT a spa environment, in fact, it's quite abrasive as the staff yell across the curtain covered "rooms" to one another in what sounds like Cantonese. I don't normally mind because I would bring headphones with me and listen to an audiobook. I had to minus one star because they said there was free WiFi but it didn't actually work. There were WiFi information and signs all over the walls but my therapist said "No WiFi" so I just let it go. Not honoring your features = -1 star My massage was great and I tipped Lanson $30 because he went hard, just the way I like it. Hot ginger soaks for my feet. My clothes were kept on and I laid down on a plushy oversized massage chair. They give you warm compresses for your eyes, chest, and back here. Nice touch! Maybe I should call this Excelsior Asian spa instead. read more

I just walked out on my massage, literally asked the massage therapist to kindly stop so I could get out of there. I could not stand the place. People are practically yelling and laughing across the room, kids are playing their youtube videos on blast, the front desk person is watching his Chinese drama... HORRIBLE PLACE. Not relaxing. They dont wash the blankets. Very musky. The massage itself was okay. I stayed for 30 minutes, paid for the full hour and tipped the lady for her time. It wasn't her fault. It's just the way things are in this place. I really wanted to like this spot because it is nearby but, I gave it 2 tries. I'd be a fool to return a 3rd time. read more

Worst massage EVER!!! The lady doing my massage literally carried on a conversation on her cell phone for 15 mins and ended up hurting my back. Don't go here. Very sketchy. I want to give them 0 stars but had to choose a star in order to post. PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS PLACE read more

Today' was amazing as usual no complaints they show active listening to me when I show them my focus points. Also today me and my husband took a picture with the stuff which made us feel welcome. Happy Thanksgivings healthy massage and blessings! read more

Called for an appointment for two Monday night for Tuesday morning and was secured immediately. Parking right in front and open earlier than expected. We were greeted warmly by a male at the front desk who confirmed our appt and then my mother and I were brought into the main massage room. Clean and comfortable. It was extra cold this morning so they even brought over a portable heater to keep my mother warm. Both were great! Checked in regularly about pressure. Explained how to help alleviate pain in sensitive areas and asked if we had special focus areas. Went with the $38 1 hour head and feet massage which really is full body. Definitely worth it. I'd say this is a hidden gem. We will be back. read more

Healthy Massage - Great deal once you've realized you want to go back after the initial visit! - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

The only reason I am giving this place one star is because it's required or else I wouldn't give them any! My partner and I came in today to get Valentine's Day massages, mind you we called ahead and were told to come in at 3:30. As soon as we walked in the woman up front asked how long we wanted and we told her one hour. She then told us it was $50 each and we said okay. (Prices were listed on counter) She then asked if we were paying together or separate and we said together. After we pulled out a credit card she, said $50 each for massage and $20 tip each so $140 total. We were both thrown off because she was telling us it was a $20 minimum tip on a one hour massage and a $10 minimum tip on a 30 minute massage. Once she realized we were upset with being told how much to tip, she said she didn't have an open spot for two one hour massages, only 30 minutes. NO THANK YOU. This is the second time we tried coming to this place and this is the second time we have had a bad experience. I have worked as a server for over 10 years, so I'm a very generous tipper. However, I am not going to be told to pay up front AND put a required $20 tip on top of it. What if the massage was bad? They have the price listed on the counter and no where does it say it is required to tip upfront, and whatever amount they decide. This place is extremely unprofessional and I do not recommend it to ANYONE. read more

I absolutely love this place! The guy in charge is the best for massages I had a pinched nerve in my neck which was so painful and he seemed to know exactly where to massage after my massage felt no pain! read more

I love this place. Very bare bones, nothing fancy. Also smells like menthol and eucalyptus, but I am fine with that. They give a great massage and the cupping is absolutely wonderful. The masseuse was very thorough, even explained that I probably need cupping every two months to get the toxins out of my body. I apparently had a lot. Ever since I have been going regularly, I feel more balanced and at peace. read more

The massage here was rough, sloppy, lacked technique, and was painful. It was off to a good start -- she checked in about pressure, etc -- but then it just devolved into a random rubbing, with no apparent plan or strategy. You know how they do one leg, then the other, etc. She went all over my body, to and from places, often doing the same places twice, but sometimes doing one side and not the other. Instead of massaging, she rubbed cream in using her fingertips. If I wanted that, I would just use lotion myself and save $50. She also would try to get pressure points (which I like) but often ended up just missing and getting the nearby bone -- see my use of "painful" above. She rubbed so hard it would shake my whole body and my face would jiggle inside that hole in the table. It was a supremely uncomfortable and unenjoyable experience, which is a shame because the reviews are good and I wanted to find a reasonably priced, conveniently located massage therapist close to me. The search continues. read more

This is my first time done the cupping. I was so nervous before I decided to do it since it looks so painful. I ask so many question to Connie. She is so knowledgeable to answer all and giving me useful suggestion! I done the Tui-na before cupping! It is sooooo good, and help a lot with the daily pressure from the neck, shoulder. During the time, Connie taught me so many stuffs to keep the body healthier. I will definitely recommend to my friends and come back soon. read more

I came here last week desperate for a massage. I was told that my injury required an additional 30 min of massaging + a chinese herb treatment. I had fallen while working out and my lower back was very swollen and stiff, and it was difficult to sit/stand let alone walk. I accepted the add ons. I was a little shocked at the price of the add ons considering I had already paid for a $57 1-hr massage. Additional 30 min massage and chinese herb treatment were approximately $55 additional? I paid because I was desperate and in a lot of pain. I iced my back and butt for 2 days. The injury caused a lot of swelling in my lower back and hip area, and they said I had injured near my sciatica nerve. Luckily I knew what I was going in for and yes, there was some discomfort, but long behold, I FEEL SO much better now!!!!!! I had 2 days of bed rest post the massage to help bring down swelling and pain. The place is clean, nothing fancy....The therapists are professional and responsive to any requests. They constantly check in with you to check that the pressure isn't too much etc. I'm really glad I was recommended to come here, and I will definitely be back. They know the body and they know how to heal it!!! THANK YOU HEALTH MASSAGE!!! read more

Worst massage ever! It's very noisy. Seems someone is cooking when I was doing massage. The lady doing massage for me is too strong, making my lower back and shoulders painful for almost one week. Not professional at all. Won't go any more. read more

This place will be my favorite. It was so noisy that I was distracted. But massage was really good and therapist did full an hour. I highly recommend. read more

Literally the best massage of my life. I didn't catch the ladies name that gave me the massage but she had the strongest hands! This massage was exactly what I needed, deep tissue it was perfect. I was definitely sore the next day but feeling amazing after that was worth it. This is the only place I'd go to. read more

totally awful, I had 90 minutes massage with them, and I guess the one who manage me is the owner, and he is keep answering his damn phone like 10 times and talking loud and rude, while he is massaging for me. he should go hire someone to answer the phone while he is doing the service. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE someone massaging you and keep answer their damn phone this is the place. if you want to enjoy your massage you should stay away from this poor quality place. no enjoyment poor customers. I usually pay $20-$30 tips but because his poor quality service I only want to pay him $5. read more

One could argue that the bar might be pretty low for a $38, 60 minute massage, so this 5 star review could not mean much. One would be very wrong. They offer private massages in a closed room as well, but I started with this one and it's so good I just can't bring myself to try anything else. This is a totally professional place, You maybe should just stop reading now, call them and see if they can fit you in for a...what do they call it, a head and foot massage? Shoulders and feet? You stay fully clothed and they work magic. And it's really whole body. Not just feet and hands or head. A few things worth noting: 1. Seriously insanely good massage 2. Really. 3. If what you are seeking is aromatherapy and native soothing music then go pay $100 more somewhere else, and I don't judge you, I totally get aromatherapy and soothing music. This is just different. 4. I think that they offer a foot soak with lavender, and maybe I'll try it next time, I just went for the Chinese Potion the first time and keep doing that. Re: music-think maybe it's Chinese rock? 5. There may or may not be a disney character on your blanket. 6. No characters on the warm eye pillow, neck pillow or back pillow. Just Ahhhhhh 7. I have never gone for a particular ache or pain so I cannot comment on that, although the masseur/masseuse always checks in to make sure that I am ok when he/she is working. It is pretty deep tissue. 8. You game? Do it. read more

I finally found a good massage place that actually does the trick. Not pricey at all. I have came here twice. The first time I really messed up my back and couldn't move. I didn't want to go to the doctors. This place is close to where I live. So I wanted to give it a try! Glad I did! Really worth it. Fixed my back and gave me a full body relaxing massage. read more

PHENOMENAL. I had the $55 body massage and could not be happier. I'm from San Jose where there are dozens of Chinese massage places to choose from, so you could say I'm a Chinese massage connoisseur. Massages for me should be a little painful--hitting pressure points and kneading knots--and this massage fit the bill and more!! Connie is a boss. She cracks your neck like a professional chiropractor would. This was my favorite part. I can't want to go back! Next time I will try the $38 massage, I'm sure it's still amazing. read more

Great place for a traditional Chinese massage. They really get into the grooves of all the sore spots intuitively. The warm bean bags and menthol rubs are definitely a plus. Their energy is warm and they really are there to help you feel better. read more

Connie was great. She knew exactly what I wanted. I surely will recommend this place to my friends and family for sure.

Lanson is the best! Staff speaks almost no English , answers the phone or talks from across the rooms but I don't give a f***! He finds all my knots and I don't even have to tell him where I'm hurting. I always feel AMAZING when I leave :) full body massage $50 and $20 tip read more
