I texted Shawn for the first time and he got back to me the same day. It's important to know that he only does out-call work. That worked for me so we scheduled for the next day. He showed up on time. We got down to business right away. He was professional and responsive to my requests. He provided soothing music. I've received many, many massages and I've tried many different modalities including while traveling in other countries. Shawn is an excellent masseuse with a strong hand and an intuitive touch. I'm writing this the next day and am still feeling the positive effects. I highly recommend him. read more

The best experience with massage therapy ever. Incredibly knowledgeable. I would recommend for anyone for there 1st time.

Excellent!!!! I was referred to Sean by a trusted colleague who has been in the business for several decades. She said he was the best in the business, so naturally I HAD to check him and his skill set out. Sean has a clean and inviting home based treatment room that is detached from his living quarters, w/ a very comfortable waiting room as well. Sean's deep tissue massage was exactly on point in terms of pressure and technique. It was clear he has been in the business for awhile (22 years!!), knows his anatomy and that massage is clearly his passion! I would rank him among the very top deep tissue CMT's in Sacramento. Do yourself a favor and check this CMT out! read more

I have been one of Sean's regular clients for years, and I can't say enough good about his service. I originally started going to his practice while recovering from shoulder surgery. He has done extensive work with sports therapy so I felt confident he could help in my recovery - and help he did! Prior to seeing him, I was still having constant dull pain and low range of motion. He helped by breaking up the scar tissue, stretching and having me work the shoulder. After about 8 months of regular massage, I was FINALLY able to move normally and the pain went away. I continued to see him regularly for continued maintenance, and have moved on to regular massage for relaxation and pain relief in other areas. I look forward to every massage. I personally like really deep tissue massage, because I want to be able to tell afterward that I had a massage. He is very good at this, but if you want something more mellow, just tell him and he adjusts very well. On occasion I have asked for a lighter pressure version of my regular massage, and it is still fantastic. He is incredibly knowledgeable with all types of massage, and has even served as an instructor at one of the local massage schools. For potential clients, I would just say that you MUST make an appointment in advance. He does book up, and since he works from his home, you will not be able to just call and get a last minute appointment or walk-in. Occasionally, he may have an opening due to a cancellation, but it's rare. Don't expect it and don't get frustrated if you chose to try and get an appointment with little notice. Just plan ahead a little. It'll be worth it! read more

Sean is amazing!!! My brother who has carpal tunnel RAVED about him after having some work done on his arms and shoulders. He bought my first session and I was immediately hooked. Sean is incredibly skilled and I usually leave blissfully dazed. I like a firmer massage and Sean is strong but not painfully so, he tunes into each muscle with a kind of intuition. Thank you Sean!! Call him, you won't regret it. read more

I won a massage from Sean at a event I went to. It was the best massage I have ever received and Sean made me feel at ease. I have never gotten a full body massage from a male and was worried at first. I felt very comfortable and would not hesitate to send anyone his way for a massage. read more

Sean is very skilled at the art of massage therapy. I have seen him a couple of times now. His home massage therapy business (separate from his living space) is very warm and inviting. Each time I have met with him, I am met with professionalism, outstanding service, and exceptional massage therapy skills that exceed the norm. Not only does he work through the problem areas with dexterity and intuitive know-how, he leaves you with some helpful instructions to aid in recovery at the completion of your visit. The only downside for me personally... the cost for service is a bit high for my budget to use on a monthly basis, but honestly, he is WELL WORTH IT!!! Don't waste your money elsewhere! Go to someone that knows what they're doing and get what you pay for!!! read more

THE BEST massage EVER!!! I started seeing Sean in 2007 after sustaining injuries from a car accident! Again, this last December, I was almost killed in another car accident! After almost a month in ICU & Acute Rehab, I was discharged home... IN A WHEELCHAIR, not able to walk. Having the spine issues I have after the previous accidents, the wheelchair was brutal on my back. I decided to see Sean for a massage and it helped IMMENSELY! I AM FOREVER grateful to him & his work! After shattering my entire left leg, HE has helped me to walk again!! Thank you, Sean, for EVERYTHING you do! You are a beautiful soul!! #massageINmyOWNpersonalHOME #comfort read more

Sean administered chair massages at our company today and his technique is exceptional. I cannot wait to schedule a full session with him. He has a very quiet energy that radiates through his hands that immediately put me at ease and made the session relaxing. You can feel the knowledge of experience and professional assessment of tne body's anatomy within minutes. Excellent, among the best this field has to offer... read more

We had in Sean in today as part of our employee appreciation event. What a great way to end the week with a massage for all the employees. We had someone else in about 6 months ago and the employees said Sean was way better. He'll be back. Thanks Sean read more

Sean O'Shea is the best massage therapist I've ever been to. I have been a regular client of his for years, and he has helped me significantly reduce my chronic pain and increase my range of motion. His deep understanding of how the systems of the body work together is evident in the way he addresses my complaints, both chronic and short-term. He is warm and supportive and continuously helps keep me focused on taking care of myself physically and emotionally. He is also very open to and responsive to feedback. I have recommended him to friends and family, and no one has been disappointed. read more

I am a new client of Sean's, and I can't imagine finding anyone else who is as tuned-in to what my body needs as he is. He communicates easily - listening to both my words and my body. I carry my stress in my back and Sean is masterful at honing in on the knots and tight spots to leave me feeling refreshed and flexible. Sean can vary the intensity of the pressure easily. He is very strong and therefore can really work out tight knots, always ensuring the pressure is right for me. Sean is, by far, the best massage therapist I've been to. I highly recommend him. read more

This was the best massage I've ever had! Sean is great at hearing concerns and has incredible technique to soften the knots. He was super thorough! Best of all for me, I appreciate modesty and he gets it! He wants to be the best, and it shows! I highly recommend his services. read more
