Review #012 - 2025…read more I've been seeing Claire every month since before COVID so I am extremely late in writing her this awesome review! Maybe I'm just being selfish because I don't want too many people to know about her and it'll be even harder for me to get an appointment. Claire is an expert in her field! She always makes me feel better after my massages. She listens to my concerns and addresses my sore spots! I definitely put her to work! So thankful that she has strong hands because I sit at my desk for hours on out and that causes a lot of knots and muscle tension! The funny thing is, we actually have so many fun conversations during my massage, that the time literally flies by. As soon as I leave, I am already looking forward to my next massage.

I waited a while for my initial dissatisfaction to pass before writing this review. I fully…read morerecognize the difficulty of running a business in the expensive Bay Area and respect that. I also really wanted to support a women-owned business. However, I also work hard for my money, and when I spend a good amount of it, take time off work to get issues addressed, and provide instructions, I do hope I'm listened to. That wasn't the case here, and I feel like Claire just went through her usual routine instead of focusing on the main area I identified prior to the session starting (significant pain in lower back tied to the quadratus lumborum, and my entire back in general was super tight). My latest back flareup lasted for two months and I needed some relief. I saw Claire bills herself as a medical massage place, so I booked a 90-min massage in the hopes that it would help and was really looking forward to it. Paid $255 (which included tip and CBD oil; I was desperate for pain relief). At this point, I'd to emphasize that Claire asked what areas I would like to focus on. I explained my back issue and said I'd like to focus most of the time on my back, with particular attention paid to my lower back. This was all before the session started. She also asked about modality preference. I said deep tissue. Pros: - The reception area was clean and welcoming, along with the massage room - There's plenty of parking in the lot - Claire seems to be really nice and has super strong hands *The not-positives* She spent 70% of the total time working on my traps. I do hold a lot of tension there, yes, but spending majority of time there was not what I was looking for. I had not mentioned my traps being an issue at all. Mid back? I just got what felt like a light back rub, maybe 5 min of what could be constituted as deep tissue. No relief there. Lower back? She barely touched it. She threw on a heating pad on that area and went to work on my legs instead. I asked if we could skip my legs and just focus on my back, and she assured me we have plenty of time to focus on my back. Then she finished with my legs and instructed me to flip over, and I was like wait, that's it?? I asked AGAIN that she work on my lower back a bit and she said ok, then spent maybe 10-15 min using a trigger point technique, which felt great...but again, she only spent that time on it AFTER I asked her, despite what I explained when I first arrived. She then had me flip over and started working on my traps and upper neck AGAIN, then started on the area where my lats would be (not sure what it's called). She told me it's a spot most therapists overlook and helps with lymphatic drainage. Fine, that's fair. In the end, I actually left worse than when I started. Had no relief anywhere I had asked for. Another massage therapist I had seen a month before who offers only 60-min massages spent more time on my back than Claire did. I won't be going back, and I honestly can't recommend Claire if you're looking for pain relief or mobility. It was a HUGE waste of my time and money, and I was worse off for it. Her approach is good for those looking for general relaxation but not pain relief.

Wrong. 2 treatments with Diane and I could just cry out of happiness. I do the 45 minute massage and just have her do the upper half of my body (back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands) and I add on the "Advanced pain relief". It's amazing, she uses all this machinery and one of them..the microlight I think it's called, I actually could feel and HEAR the knots breaking up. I also went to Diane before my wedding and did the series of 6 Infrared body wraps and they WORKED. I highly recommend Synergy, you really need to give it a try. It's easy to book and pay online as well so after your massage you don't have to fumble with your wallet and figure out tip :)
