This is my first time coming to see Tsadae. Her business is in a plaza with parking and she shares the space with an acupuncturist. Tsadae is there every Thursday and Friday and alternating Sundays. She is very responsive via text and is very understanding if you need to reschedule as we know sometimes things come up in our pregnancies that we don't anticipate! During my massage she was very professional and was able to give my body pain relief in my lower back. I also felt relaxed afterwards and felt like my body could move more freely. She helped released tension in my neck and shoulders as well since that's where I hold all my stress. She has pillows to help you feel comfortable on your side while she massages you and a wedge pillow for when you sit up for her to massage your neck and upper back. I definitely recommend her!

Dr. Tang is a gem in Oakland Chinatown - he's the latest in a long line of traumatologists (in…read moreCantonese "Tiet-Dah") who learned how to treat injuries from his father, who learned it from his father, back a couple of generations! Turns out his dad has his own clinic a few doors down! Simon trained in Hong Kong, lived here for a couple decades and thus speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English pretty fluently. He is great at what he does and charges reasonably for what he can accomplish. Today's visit for my chronic neck injuries lasted about 30-40 minutes (I didn't keep track of time but it was less than an hour) and involved some history taking, examination, education on specific exercises I could do for wrist and shoulder injuries, then a focused deep tissue massage, and application of a heated herbal poultice. Dr. Tang has a great bedside manner and is focused (he massages each tenderpoint for 1-3 minutes, on a timer). All this for $80. He's much better than the Tiet-Da doctors I went to in Hong Kong. In general, daily treatment for acute injuries can get you better within a few treatments (depending on severity) and longstanding chronic injuries typically resolve with daily treatment for about three weeks. I've had some promising results, I will be back tomorrow!

Looked for a couple massage spots, and came across Tong Zhang. I've always been intrigued by needle therapy and the skills of the Chinese so I had to give it a try, I trusted that I couldn't go wrong. The massage was painful, but dam, if felt the muscle being loosened up if that makes sense. The needle therapy was uneventful. First time ive tried it. I was a little scared, but didn't even notice it from a comfort perspective. I definitely felt one tingle a nerve as it went in. Walked out of there with some relief. Maybe 50% improvement. Woke up the next morning feeling better. A little sore in the massaged area, but definitely better from a stiff neck perspective. Definetly a place to check out.

People often go for massages and feel great for a day; but Oak Therapy is different - it's medically recommended, it heals physical issues, and is just amazing. I pay $70 for a full hour, and it is the best money I've ever spent. If you want to know more, I feel so strongly about Oak Therapy that I welcome you to email me: philippakelydresher@gmail.com

I came in dealing with a few issues after a long 30-mile bike ride, including knee discomfort, shoulder tightness, lower left back pain, and a recently twisted left ankle. Diego took the time to really listen and understand what was going on, and his approach felt thoughtful and intentional from the start. I left the session feeling amazing, noticeably more relaxed, and with a clear improvement in how my body felt overall. The care was thorough and effective, and I genuinely felt the difference right away. I would absolutely recommend Diego to anyone looking for skilled, attentive acupuncture care.

I was shocked when the staff said "the doctor's diagnose is free. You pay for the medicine." They have been operating like this for 30+ years. I have been trying to find an experienced Chinese medicine doctor for my mother in law for more than 5 years. She has stomach imbalance which affected her high blood pressure, diarrhea, sweating, dry throat and a whole list of symptoms due to her imbalance. Previous doctors charged per visit for consultation and charge additional for herbs. It's quite expensive. Not only did I find a knowledgeable doctor, he gives his service for free! This doctor is the real deal. He is very knowledgeable and no bs. The best thing I appreciate the most is, if the herbs has an unintended reaction, I bring it back to him. He can identify which herbs caused the reaction and switch out the herbs to suit your body. Traditional Chinese medicine is a very slow progress treatment. It's really tailored to each person and their reaction to herbs. So if you choose this path. You must be patient. This shop can be super busy at times. During patient's consultation, he does run out to help with cashier or pick medicine for customers in the front of the house. Please be patient with him, he listens to you even though he look's distracted. Some times he is starving before he stops to eat. This whole store is very valuable to the community. I cannot express how grateful I am to find this store. I hope people who wants to seek help using traditional Chinese medicine will find this store and enjoy good health and reasonable cost of herbal medicine. Good Karma.
