So glad that the McKinnon clinic is back up and running! Affordable, professional, and truly caring, talented therapists! $50 for an hour massage?! How can you beat that?! read more

Loved my massage with Joyce great deep tissue work on the back and neck. Easy to find, convenient to park.

A wonderful resource in my community- this massage clinic is full of talented therapists- with fantastically affordable rates. This is how I keep bodywork as a priority in my life. Appointmentss available during the week from 9-5! Several massage modalities allow for experimentation of what you might like. A full recommendation! read more

I love the McKinnon Massage Clinic. Every time I make an appointment, I am way over do for a massage and I walk out feeling relaxed and refreshed. Every therapist has been wonderful, caring and attentive to my body aches. It is easy to get an appointment, the atmosphere is tranquil, the therapist are awesome and the price is right. I will continue to get massages here!!! read more

What does every body need? Massage. What does every massage therapist need? Massage. So I brought myself to McKinnon's clinic. I could have hit up the megaschool in Emeryville, but I wanted someone who already had training, not a new student. Great massage. Quick but adequate intake. Great rates. You have a body. You need a massage. Get to McKinnon. Your muscles will love you. read more

I am a fan of the McKinnon clinic! I've consistently received quality bodywork here. As a massage therapist myself, I have high standards for what qualifies as quality bodywork and the various therapists I've seen here (most recently Wakanda and Saranie) have delivered the deep work I've needed. Bonus that oftentimes I can schedule a session on short notice. The clinic is a fantastic bargain with sliding scale fees for top-notch work. If you're on a tight budget, you absolutely should know about this place. read more

I am a big fan of bodywork, and have mixed acupuncture with massage for many years with great success. Never mind prescription medicine, (just my opinion) somehow I have always avoided the need, following the recipe of receiving regular sessions with a qualified practitioner instead. As a recent graduate of McKinnon BTC, I know the value of receiving a good massage. Today I received an absoutely wonderful Swedish/Deep Tissue session at the school's in-house clinic with a very talented practitioner named Erica. What worked during today's visit was a combination of the right questions being asked about my specific needs before, very careful and caring attention during, and the feeling of complete confidence that I was treated well even directly afterwards. Massage enthusiasts are offered the opportunity to take advantage of this service. A sliding scale fee applies to the sessions, and is an outstanding value for the money. Thanks McKinnon, for being there! Cheers, JK read more

I am so glad I found McKinnon! I first learned about McKinnon when I received a ten-minute chair massage at a company health day, and when I heard their pricing ($50 and hour) I knew I had to come in. I'm so glad they were there that day, because the massages I've been getting at McKinnon are some of the most relaxing and helpful for my chronic back pain that I've ever received! There are a few practitioners, but I have only gone to Paul so far. From the first day he really asks the questions behind the pain and works with me during the massage to find the pressure points. In addition to the relaxation and release of deeper tissue massage, he gives me helpful tips about what may cause certain stresses, as well as stretches and training I could do at home to relieve my back pains. The teaching spirit of the Massage School is present in the therapists, and it has made the experience for me!! It's truly some of the most relaxing, professional, and caring massage therapist I've ever been to - you can really feel the passion behind understanding why people experience pain and how to best relieve it. Additionally, the space is cozy, clean, and great. Paul has always preempted any question I have about level of comfort, and is very mindful of the process. I can't say enough good things about it, and having massages there has even sparked my interest to take a class one day! Thanks Paul and McKinnon!! read more

I have taken many classes at McKinnon and I have no complaints. They have top notch teachers and it is a very welcoming environment!

I received a wonderful massage here a few weeks ago. The massage was a combination of acupressure and Swedish. Making an appointment was easy and locale was easy to find. A great place to come to where the massage therapist are well- trained in their craft. I felt I was in good hands and will be back soon! read more

I went to Wakanda for a 90 minute deep tissue body massage and it was incredible. She checked in on pressure as she went and loosened up my incredibly tight muscles. The sliding scale made it affordable on my equally tight budget :). She took the time after the massage to explain how to stretch my pec muscles and recommended post-massage care if I were to get sore. Really love this place, definitely going back! read more

Just got a 90 min massage from Erica (sp?) and it was GREAT! Came with very knotted back and shoulders, left with way less knots, and a plan to go back! read more

I learned of McKinnon Massage Clinic from a friend. She'd been having back issues and said her last treatment at McKinnon had made a real difference. There are great advantages to going here given the sliding scale $40-60 making it affordable to get massaged regularly. The management was very helpful and informative. The massage was really nice and got me into a much needed relaxed state. I felt the practitioner listened and responded to my needs. I plan to go back soon! read more

I had a very good massage at the McKinnon Clinic a few weeks ago from Erica. It was a thoughtful, firm deep tissue massage. The intake was very thorough and she helped to significantly release tension and reduce pain! She checked in often about pressure. The setting was very relaxing and professional. And the sliding scale makes it so accessible... I'll be back! If you haven't already, check it out! read more

I suggest this place to everyone that asks me about massages. I teach and train martial arts and every once in a while I try to stop by the clinic to get my body worked on and I'm good as new. In fact I once sent one of my students here for back work after pulling a muscle and he came back saying that was literally the best massage he ever had! read more

Great clinic with sliding scale for massage. I got a swedish massage and the student was very professional. Peaceful atmosphere and perfect for people on a budget. read more

I have had several massages here Work stress and bad sleeping habits had resulted in a huge knot in my upper back. A friend suggested that I go here to try to get some regular body work to work out some of the discomforts I was feeling even beyond the major knot in back. In a 3 week span I tried several of the modalities that they have to offer Thai, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, and Cranio. All of the therapists were great and did very well in explaining to me what is they do and how they can help with the discomfort that I was expressing. That Thai Massage seriously worked that knot out!!! I will def. be going back in hopes of not letting the aches and stress build up like that ever again. read more

I recently received a massage from Janel at the McKinnon Massage Clinic. Absolutely fantastic and really affordable, quality massage. The space was quiet and clean. I felt totally taken care of and am looking forward to returning. read more

I got a massage at the student clinic a few months ago, and it in no way felt like a discounted clinic. I showed up early for the massage, and still didn't wait for long. My massage therapist was very professional and really, really great. It was one of the best massages I have ever had! The sliding scale is super helpful also being a student. I was certainly relaxed and stress-free for a long time after that, and I look forward to my next massage there! read more

I've received a prenatal massage from this clinic and really enjoyed it! It was super relaxing and when it was finished I could tell what a difference it made in my mental and physical state. I also attend the classes for Swedish. I find them extremely thorough in the material and professional, they make you feel welcomed into the program and take your goals seriously. I would recommend this school for either education or the massage clinic (or both!) to anyone and I will continue my education there; i can't imagine going anywhere else! read more

A great massage by a skilled graduate therapist. Various types of massage are available. Today I received a Shiatsu massage from Kern and it was great! read more

I have had two massages by Les. He is wonderful! Two of the best massages I have ever had. One was for a specific neck/upper back problem. He really paid attention to my issue, and I was able to sleep that night for the first time in weeks. It was such a relief. The second was more for general relaxation/stress that had me in knots. It was awesome and I felt like a new person after he worked his magic. He has a very calm, centered way about him. I highly recommend!! read more

I had a wonderful 1.5 hour massage as the McKinnon Clinic. The therapist was able to work with my needs to provide a personalized massage for stress relief. He focused on the areas that I needed more work on and was incredibly thoughtful. This clinic is not like other discounted clinics I have gone to in the past. It was private, relaxing, and simply a great massage. read more
