Hands down, the best massage therapist!!! I ran the Honolulu marathon yesterday, and I woke up with a massive body ache, barely able to get out of bed... I knew I had to go get a massage. I've tried massages from expensive spas to cheap massage schools, but nothing compares to Michael's massage. Thanks to Yelp! He knows all the right places (like inner scapula, outer tibia, and along the spine) and the pressure was peeeeerfect (I like mines on the stronger side). Just what I needed from head to toe, literally! The unique combination of shiatsu (my fav), lomi lomi, and deep tissue really helped massage out my achy muscles. It hurt when he was massaging it out but it was a feel good pain! You can always ask him to change the pressure. But I loved it!! I even fell asleep a little bit...cuz it felt so good!! I'll definitely be back again. I wanna say tomorrow, but I gotta save money for Christmas shopping ;p But I'm def going back before the year end. Thank you Michael!!! Location: Home studio or he'll travel to your home!!! I went to his home studio - small but nice and cozy, smells good too!! It's a much better deal if you go to his studio too, but if you're too lazy to get out of the house, it's still way cheaper than many other places. Parking: No parking so make sure you street park on Oceanview or Sunset. I found parking easily. read more

...A few weeks ago, I was blessed to have a 90 min massage by Michael...and let me say...it was in my top 10. I've been to spas around the world, and he is my massage therapist now. I recently moved back to Hawaii after living in SF for 13 yrs, and I was hoping to find a permanent therapist. Well, the Universe placed Michael on my life path, and I am filled with appreciation for that. His skill is bar none , exceptional. Love and hugs! Patrick :-) read more

I found Michael on Yelp and tried him out. He was awesome! He really listened to what was bothering me and really worked those areas. He just didn't do the "routine" as many other therapists do no matter what your concerns are. I feel great!! He is really good and I am looking forward to calling on him again! read more

Michael was extremely pleasant and courteous through every step of our massage appointment process. He answered all of my questions and gave me great directions over the phone. When I arrived, he looked out for me and greeted me outside his home. His massage room was clean, serene and breezy. Michael knew the exact amount of pressure to put on me and was professional throughout the massage. The scented oil he used was wonderful. I'm looking forward to my next massage with him....hopefully SOON! read more

What a great experience! I've been looking for a masseur in Kailua that can actually lay on the pressure; finally, I found it in Mike. Before we started, Mike sat me down and we had a nice talk about what my needs were, what I was looking for in a massage, and my experience with different masseurs in the past. He was very friendly and very attentive to my needs and was careful to make sure he wasn't going to hurt me during the massage. He was able to use a lot of pressure but still left me feeling relaxed and feeling great. Beyond the massage itself, the ambiance was fantastic. He performed the massage in a cabana with beautiful plants and aromatics surrounding it. Upon entering, you feel instantly at ease. What more can I say? Go get a massage from him right now! read more

I was back home for Christmas break so I decided to make a return trip to Michael and I am so glad I did! He was just as professional and attentive as before spending the majority of the appointment focusing on my busted up back just like I requested. Now, every time I come home my "must do" list will include Wailoas, beach, plate lunch, and an appointment with Michael... not necessarily in that order! Highly, highly recommended!!! read more

I travel to Hawaii several times a year. As soon as I book my ticket to Honolulu, I call Michael to book a massage. I've been getting massages from him for over 5 years now. Michael is a great therapist: thorough, sensitive and intuitive. He has a very calm and easy way about him. Very healing. I've had massages at his home studio as well as at the vacation rental my family was staying at. Either way, you can't go wrong with a massage from Michael. read more

Love my massages from Michael It's deep and intuitive and his attention to neck and shoulders was amazing. I've been a client for over five years now and look forward to many more. He's well worth fitting into your schedule. read more

Michael is a thorough professional. He not only reached ahead of time so that the massage could start on time but was also very flexible in coming in sooner when we decided to extend a massage from 60 to 90 mins. The massage was awesome.. An excellent mix of deep tissue with Lomi Lomi and very relaxing. Will definitely recommend Michael to anyone looking for an excellent massage when visiting Oahu. read more

Hands down, the best massage I have ever had. After 2 weeks of upper back and neck pain, I was fortunate enough to get a session with Michael while he was in San Francisco. He really worked my muscles, almost like a deep tissue sports massage, but more relaxing. I felt phenomenal and convinced my boyfriend to get a massage too. We are both now hooked! He will do a private, in-home visit and is very reasonably priced. I highly recommend and can't wait for his next trip back to San Francisco. read more

I have had many massages in my lifetime and MB is one of the best massage therapists around. I specifically recommend him for those who build up a good amount of stress as well as for athletes who suffer from injuries. Michael did a great job working on my various sports injuries. He can provide a firm and heavy set of hands, and for those who can handle it, he can apply added pressure when asked (not for the weak). He is highly professional and top quality. read more

I have been using Michael for around 6 years for my massage needs. He is friendly, professional and (as a bonus) a great person. He is the only person I trust to do deep tissue massage on me without worry of being hurt or being in pain. He has years of experience working in some of the finest hotel spas, but has grown such a reputation for his excellent work he is by appointment only. He can do out calls to any hotel or home or you can go to his lush garden like home for a relaxing escape. Trust me it us well worth the time and with his very reasonable pricing he is the best of the best! read more

After all the reviews, I thought I'd try him out. But for Hawaii, he is expensive, and it was one of the worst ever! Deep tissue and lomi lomi, it was not! I requested deeper and it was just a rub. So if you want just a body rub he is your guy, if your looking for a good deep tissue massage to work out the knots, he is not the guy! Not worth the $80/hr when you can find better for $55/hr. read more

I don't usually bother to add reviews when there are already tons of good ones. So I thought I would frame this as a kind of response to the one bad review I read. I am visiting my sister in the neighborhood and yelped. Michael gave me a 1 1/2 hour massage at his place, listening perfectly to what I like and mixing relaxing technique with deep body work. I was an absolute mess. He found and released knots and tension and worked on a problem with my arch and heel that has been ongoing for a year. Don't know or care if the rate is slightly higher or slightly less than standard for the area. It was much less than I usually pay. He is professional and seems very knowledgable. read more

Great energy, very professional and easy to schedule an appointment!

Michael is officially in my top three best massages ever. And a reminder of why I will never go back to those terrible corporate massage "spas." The booking process was simple. I called Michael looking for an appointment the following day. He called me back immediately and texted details confirming time & location. Michael's space is tranquil - a total oasis. The trade winds cooled the room, it was heaven. And Michael's massage, oh my. Like nothing I have ever experienced. The rhythm & flow of the massage felt like it was created just for me. This was no one size fits all massage. He worked the right muscles, applied pressure when I needed pressure and eased up when he needed to. Michael is one of the nicest & most skilled masseuse. I'm hoping he visits LA soon because I have a list of 10 friends deep that need his healing hands! read more

I just received an amazing 90 minute massage from Michael! The location is ideal --a short 10 min walk from my rental in Lanikai -- and the outdoor massage room was breezy, comfy and private. His touch was strong and intuitive, informed by 18 years of practicing the art of massage. And his blend of Lomi Lomi melted my tension and opened me up. Highly recommended! read more

Number 1 on yelp for a reason. His home studio was peaceful and clean, he was very welcoming and relaxed, and the 90 minute massage was exactly what I needed. Would return to him definitely. read more

We have been seeing Michael Bradley every two weeks for the last two years. That should give you an idea of how good he is. Great person, good conversationalist, and an excellent massage therapist. read more

Michael is amazing! He has a sweet, calm demeanor, has the right touch and knows how to apply just the right amount of pressure. I'm the kind of person who expects my massages to hurt (in a good way, of course) and Michael delivers. We've met up with him in Hawaii and he also comes out to the SF bay area for business trips every few months. I always look forward to my massages with Michael! read more

Michael is seriously good. He uses a variety of techniques--all to good use. I have never experienced his type of massage on my hands and feet. I never knew there were so many areas to massage on hands and feet! With each stroke and knead, I felt total relaxation. He is conscientious, respectful and very thorough. He sometimes comes to SF, too, and he will come to your place. read more

I felt like I had a new and improved body after finishing a 90 min session with Micheal. He has years of experience and incorporates different techniques in one session; reflexology, deep tissue, craniosacral and more. I'm scared to give him a great review because he'll be booked up and i won't be able to get on his schedule. He's that splendid ! read more

Michael is a gift! My husband and I live in San Diego but have a second home in Honolulu.We have known Micheal for about 5 years or so. We always have him come to our house on the first day we arrive, he sets up his table outside ( we are fortunate to be right on the ocean) and he whisks us off to never never land. He is particularly great with your hands and feet, has perfect pressure, and an intuitive way of knowing exactly what you need that day. I play competitive tennis and consider massage a neccessity to prevent injuries, and so far it has worked. I have had many many massages at spas, in home etc and tried many different styles of massage. I have had lomi lomi by others but this is the real deal. MIchael is truly an extraordinary masseur and is a very likeable and pleasant person as well. We consider ourselves lucky to have found him. read more

Could be one of the best massages I've ever had (and I get a lot of massages!) I was having some issues with my neck and shoulder and Michael worked deeply in those areas. I felt so much better! What a wonderful spirit and soul Michael is! read more

Ive had quite a few massages from MB and he does a great job.Friendly and with so many years of experience he will work out the kinks and knots.I surf quite a bit and when I need relief I call this guy guaranteed youll have a great experience and he does out call also for a small fee.Check him out you wont be disapointed. read more

I have been to Michael twice in the past year and half. His treatment room has a peaceful, relaxing energy and feeling. A very satisfied customer who received deep tissue massage for shoulder and arm pain. Recommended! read more

I have been to other massage therapists, but always prefer to schedule with Michael. His trained and intuitive approach is a much needed gift after a long work week or even after a hard workout. He uses his skilled gradient of pressure with your needs in mind- he has helped release the tightest of knots during the most stressful of times, as well as gently eased pain in a sports injured shoulder. I highly recommend Michael to all of my friends and I am certain you will too. read more

Amazing massage experience! Michael came to our home on MCBH and was friendly and professional. As a new mommy, getting the combination of lomi lomi and deep tissue did wonders for my back/shoulders after a month of really poor nursing posture. This definitely beats any 'gentle relaxation' massage - I feel like no tense muscle got left behind! My husband got a massage as well and is hooked. :) So obviously we'll be making more appointments in the future and will send all our friends and family Michael's way! read more

I have had massages in top spas in NYC, LA, Bali, Thailand and at several four-star spas across Hawaii. As a writer, vendors treat me to ridiculously expensive massages, in hopes that they get coverage... so let's just say I have experience! Out of all of my massages, Michael truly gives the best. I have been in two car accidents and have chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain. Michael really goes deep inside my tissues to unwind the damage. I even have to take a deep breathe sometimes because he's doing his magic and it's intense--but I ask for this type of massage! (I've also gone to licensed physical therapists that do massage, who were very good, but honestly, he's better.) I ALWAYS leave feeling relieved, and at least on a better track to healing. He is also just a really nice person, great etiquette, and very caring. I'd recommend him to anyone (and have! even my own mom!). read more

So I had not had a massage in a few months and Michael's handiwork totally reminded my why I need to get one more often. He targeted all of my tight spots and broke down the built up knots with just the right level of pressure. Though I felt like a bowl of jello afterwards, I was content and completely de-stressed. Michaels hands definitely work some magic. There's no question that I'll be fighting for a massage reservation next time he's on the west coast. read more

Freaking awesome massage! He really knows how to get the kinks out! I'm definitely going back!

I can't express how great I feel since my massage with Michael yesterday! In the last few months I've had a couple of surgeries and have been dealing with some health issues. Michael was more than happy to accommodate my needs and work around the areas that needed special attention! His massage is hands down, THE BEST! The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing and I found myself so relaxed & fighting to stay awake because I didn't want to miss one glorious second of Michael working his magic! Love you, Michael!! read more

I come from Tahiti and saw Michael's massage through Yelp and I am glad I did. In Tahiti there is no masseur like him who is very friendly and knows where your pain is.After a 90 mn massage I felt relieved and the pain of the foot was better. He has worked from my head until each single toe of each foot, it was awesome! He combined all massage style and I could feel all the good pressure I needed. I would recommand to anyone. I will go back to see him again. read more
