She's focused and thorough, carefully working through every tight spot with strength and intention. Nothing is rushed; she puts genuine effort into making the Deep Tissue + Thai work effective. Just as important, Alise is genuinely caring and pleasant. She has a warm, calm presence that immediately puts you at ease. She listens carefully, checks in without being intrusive and makes you feel looked after the entire time. I always leave feeling better both physically and mentally. Highly recommend booking with Alise if you can.

I came in completely locked up from recent travel, and within ten minutes she'd pinpointed every major knot, working through them with perfect pressure and a natural rhythm.

The last time I felt that kind of total release was after a chiropractor visit years ago. I'll definitely be requesting Violet on my next visit. I highly recommend Violet!

As active people we often have various aches and pains; it seemed like a double win to get massages and also learn how to better give them to each other. Another couple we are good friends with joined us. Alexis reached out ahead of the session to solicit our ideas for the time together and make sure we were fully prepared. When she arrived she immediately set a relaxed, joyful, loving mood. She taught us both a seated, neck/shoulder massage and a more immersive, laying down full back massage with oil. With our small group she provided regular 1:1 feedback, which was very helpful. She also kept it low stress and fun for all. Since the session we have continued to practice some of what we learned. The seated massage techniques are especially easy to incorporate into even a weeknight evening. It was freeing to learn a few easy moves that are consistently well-received. I would strongly recommend Alexis. She is a lovely, warm, talented instructor.

So I was pleasantly surprised to see him at the new location cause I wasn't expecting to get him again.. I was having some major pain in my upper back shoulder area and it had gotten so bad that the pain was cascading down my arm. Yannis really untied the knots in my shoulder, and the kinks out of my back. within five or six hours after the massage, i was feeling almost 80% better than I was when I first came in. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be back in the next time. I'm in the bay area and need a touchup.

My experience with Cho was hands-down one of the best massages I've ever had. She has incredible strength, but what really sets her apart is how mindful and thoughtful she is. She regularly checked in on pressure and worked magic on my neck and lower back, working out kinks I didn't even realize were holding so much stress. She even guided me to remember to deep breathe during the session, which helped me release so much built-up tightness. Cho is a miracle worker in a truly beautiful space. 10/10 recommendation!

Prior to visiting Psoas Massage + Bodywork, I hadn't experienced a focused sports massage before -…read moremost of my past massages were more along the lines of spa, Thai, or general wellness sessions. Because of that, the experience here felt very different, especially with the more conversational atmosphere. The location is convenient to get to, whether ' walking, taking public transit, or arriving by rideshare. And it's easy to find - just up the stairs with clear signage. Stella is excellent! She immediately put me at ease and kept an ongoing dialogue throughout each session, which made the experience feel both comfortable and intentional. I purchased the intro pack, which included three sessions, and I booked all of them with her. The package also came with a private sauna session, which was a nice bonus that I used on a non-massage day. They provide towels, though it's worth noting there isn't a shower available if you need a fuller refresh afterward. Overall, the massage sessions have been beneficial, especially on days when I was feeling particularly tight or sore. Their focus is clearly on targeted wellness and bodywork, so if you're looking for a more traditional spa-like experience, this may not be the right fit. But if you want focused, intentional care, it's definitely worth visiting.

My massage with Robyn was incredibly disappointing--lazy technique, zero attention to detail, and…read moreto make it worse, Robyn was loudly slurping from a straw throughout the session. It happened repeatedly (at least 10 times), completely ruining any chance of relaxation. I stopped coming for a while after that, and when I finally returned, I was told I had two massages that had "expired." That alone felt questionable...but what happened next was worse. The staff told me the owner would contact me before moving forward. That never happened. Instead, they went ahead and charged me $180 without any communication or approval. This place feels disorganized at best and dishonest at worst. Poor service, poor communication, and questionable business practices. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Due to this, I will be updating my review accordingly. -------------------------------------------- I came to TRX massage a while back because I was experiencing shoulder stiffness and lower back pain. The massage itself was good, even though it was on the harder side, dispite me mentioning that I would like less pressure. After the massage initially, I felt some relief, but in the days to come, I experienced bruising and more pain in my shoulders, causing me to even develop a headache. In addition, the owner assumed that I booked a 90 minute session when I had booked a 60 minute session, and she did the full 90 minute massage on me which I did not notice since I had fallen asleep halfway through the massage. There was no implication that I would be refunded for the time difference, and I paid for the 90 minute session instead of the 60 minute session. I felt very uncomfortable to speak up during this process, but since the massage while on the harder side felt good at the time, I still gave a $25 tip and paid for the 90 minute session. I asked for a receipt a few weeks later since I thought I was double charged (I was not) when checking my credit card records. If you are in the Mission Bay Area, I would recommend going elsewhere, as there are many friendlier and far better massage places to check out!
