Got some knots? Pulled something? Or you just like pain? Ross can take care of you. It amazes me how strong she is and I'm so appreciative of people with such mastery and talent like her. I don't go to her for enjoyment rather for maintenance of my body. As I've gotten older, my body is just not the same as before and Ross helps me in moments of pain that I don't need to live with. I don't enjoy my time (so good it hurts) with her but know the end results will payoff. This is a no frills deep tissue massage experience. Ross (Rosalyn) works for herself and by herself so she manages all the bookings via text so allow some time for responses. As for commentary on her candor, if it's not for you, then it isn't. Grow some thicker skin. She's frank but not disrespectful. Her talent, pricing, and results make it worthwhile for many of us, based on her regulars. Her space is a bit dated but clean, dark, and comfortable. As someone mentioned, it's no Burke Williams so manage your expectations here. Cash preferred and considering she keeps her prices reasonable-it would behoove you to return the hard work with a nice tip. She offers 1 hr, 1.5 hr, and 2 hr sessions. If you're new, I'd recommend the 1 hr to start with and maintain with the 1.5 hr sessions to make the effort worthwhile. read more

Attendant is unprofessional Do not recommend They have limited scope of client services read more

Rosalyn is a one-wonder-woman-machine. She schedules, books, and delivers high quality top notch massage services all in one spot. If you don't understand that hustle, go to massage envy or go to the mall. This is personalized, specialized, professional, and highly recommended service in a diluted industry of instant and automated everything. You will not regret this decision. read more

Rosalyn is still the best! Highly recommend you give her a try if you're looking for a great massage.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. GO TO A REAL PROFESSIONAL. Rosalynn has booking service, so you just have to text her and ask if she has any availability. I had to keep checking back with her on possible availability and then she just eventually ghosted me, so then I tried to book an appt from my wife's number and she did the exact same thing, responded once or twice and then ghosted me. I don't know what kind of successful business model that includes ghosting clients that are trying to put money in your hand. I was never anything but kind and polite and she just stop replying. Highly unprofessional and a huge waste of valuable time. You are better off going to a true professional that you can book online. read more

Ross Deep Tissue Massage - Why would you ghost a client trying to pay for your service? - Massage Therapy Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Rosalyn is amazing and really knows what she's doing. I have been going to another massage therapist for a few years and decided to try someone new for a last minute appointment.. So glad I did! Not only did she do a great job on my entire body but she also gave me pointers on how to stretch better and take care of certain areas that tend to get very tight and sore. Rosalyn is also super sweet and personable. Will definitely be going back to her! read more

Rosalyn has been my massage therapist for many years and this review is long-overdue. She's simply the best for deep massage/sport massage. I do CrossFit almost everyday and tried to come every two weeks or so. read more

Amazing massage. Truly feel like a different person. Worked on a lot of knots I have and also this nagging pain on my left shoulder was corrected. Ross also has tons of knowledge on maintenance of body. Definitely will be coming back. Also word of advice if you have a lot of knots, go for the 90 minute massage... read more

Rosalyn is a true professional that knows exactly what she's doing. I'm sore but my range of motion increased immediately. I am a very active 52yr old. My body has been abused through the years. In order to maintain my lifestyle, I needed help. This is why we go to professionals. She completely understood what my body was telling her and she nailed it. Thank you so much. read more

Ross is soooo good! She is really strong and has worked on my really stubborn scar tissue. She stretches you out after the massage. I've tried several massage therapists until I met her. She's a keeper! read more

+ really deep tissue massage. - she forced me to pay very high tip (similar to as mentioned in another review). read more

The best deep tissue massage I've received, Rosa really listened to what my concerns and needs were and then used her knowledge to explain how she would proceed and given all the information. Very professional manner and very effective! read more

I've tried numerous other massages in the area over the past few years, but Rosalyn's deep tissue massages are the best I've experienced! Having read all the great reviews on Yelp, I texted Rosalyn and had an appointment quickly booked for the next day. I typically opt for a deep tissue or Thai massage as I spend most of my workday sitting at a desk and have tight shoulders and lower back from poor posture. In a span of 60 minutes, Rosalyn identified my problem areas - including one of my legs which were tighter due to a lower back problem I had several years ago. Towards the end of the massage, she showed me stretches which I could do by myself at home to help loosen the muscles. It was clear Rosalyn was extremely knowledgeable and skilled at her craft. As other reviewers have said, this is more of a therapeutic massage so you will feel quite a bit of pain during your session and may have a couple of bruises afterwards as I did. That said, you'll feel amazing afterwards and I will definitely be back in the future! read more

I'm not the easiest client to satisfy because I'm very particular about my massages. I'm the type that has to give a lot of guidance and tend to wear out my masseuses. When I came in to see Rosalyn she required no guidance at all. She knew where all the tension was and she went into town on my shoulders and back. It's crazy how petite she is and how powerful her massages are. She's the absolute best and we must protect at her at all cost! read more

I've been looking for a good CMT for about a year since moving to the Bay Area. Rosalyn was friendly and showed great focus when working with me. She is definitely a deep tissue specialist true to the name. She focused on my back, scapulae, IT bands, and upper extremities. I will definitely be coming back regularly. Thank you Rosalyn! read more

If you are looking for a true deep tissue massage with no frills Ross is your person. My back is very tight, so I was looking for a masseuse for deep tissue massage. I sent a text message to Ross and she responded same day. I selected the 90 minute for a fair comparison since I had a 90 minute deep tissue once before from another masseuse. Ross definitely paid attention to the knots on my back as I requested; in addition, my whole body. There were knots in areas I didn't notice because I was so fixated on my back. This definitely gave me insight on how much I need to stretch my legs and hips. In comparison to the previous masseuse from a different business, Ross is reasonably priced. Ross included stretches in her session which the other masseuse just did deep tissue which is totally understable because that was the service that I paid for. But, I feel like Ross customized the session according to her experience and judgement on what my body needed. This was definitely a true deep tissue massage. She was talkative during the session which I actually liked because laughter was definitely a coping mechanism of mine in order to deal with the pain. I had this massage back in September and the recovery was brutal. I had bruises and soreness but this is expected from a deep tissue massage. After recovering, I definitely felt less tightness and reduced pain. The only aspect that I think others may not appreciate is sometimes she is on her phone to answer clients texts or calls. She is pretty quick about it and I did not mind because I know she works independently. I honestly liked the pauses, so I could collect myself when it got painful. The location is a clothing store inside a private room. There was no one else but us. The room has enough ambiance for me to relax. But if you are looking for more upscale location, this is not it. I have Ross number saved on my phone with confidence that if I ever feel tightness, I won't hesitate to book another session. read more

I was almost hesitant to leave this review in fear that too many people will find out how AMAZING Rosalyn is and it'll be harder to book her, but I would've been doing her a huge injustice if I didn't give herthe recognition she deserves! If you're looking for a Burke Williams type spa experience or a light touch massage then this might not be the place for you, but if you're looking for a solid deep tissue massage that will get out EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of your knots, you're going to want to see Rosalyn. I carry a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck and routinely need to get deep tissue massages to prevent getting tension migraines. Rosalyn has been by far the best in helping me manage these. She digs deep so be prepared -- I'm usually clenching my teeth and close to tears, but the results afterwards are so worth it! As other Yelpers mentioned, the facilities are a bit basic and outdated as Rosalyn rents a room in a building, but the pricing and quality of the massage is unbeatable. read more

Very first time with Deep tissue massage and all I can say is "it hurt so good" whenever she ask me if I'm okay or I can take the 90mins.. building is very familiar to me since I did job work on the exact location years ago.. little spot but she gets the job done.. highly recommended thank you read more

Firstly this review is overdue, I've been going to Ros regularly since 2018. For what it's worth, and depending on what you're looking for, she's a master of her craft: restoring mobility by breaking down knots and scar tissue to relieve tension. You can come in with issues from old injuries, newer ones, atrophy, or whatever and she'll help you sort things out. Yes it hurts but as they say: no pain, no gain. I'm a long time mixed martial artist in my early 40s, train hard 3-5 days a week (every week, all year) and she's my secret to keeping everything moving and flexible. I really don't know what I'd do without her. Nuff said. read more

She is excellent and skilled at her craft. The massages are deeper level to help get out your knots and provide true healing. She is also affordable. read more

I've never hurt so good before! Rosalyn's technique is a beautiful and magical combination of deep tissue/ sports massage / myofascial release. I've had Thai massage many, many times this is a different kind of deep tissue massage. In 2 hours I learned more about my body, where I carry tension and how it's all connected than I have in 2 decades of receiving massage. After the massage I was treated to some assisted stretching to help lengthen the muscles that were just released. I specifically went in for help with jaw muscle pain for my TMJD. I was looking for release in my jaw/ neck and shoulders. I walked away with so much more! Thank you immensely Rosalyn for your help, your kindness, your humor in helping me lamaze breath through some really difficult areas of my body and for your healing touch. I am beyond excited to have met you and look forward to working with you tons more. read more

Amazing place for deep tissue massage. The masseuse is so skillful and strong I was almost moved emotionally towards the end of my deep tissue massage session. Highly recommended for deep tissue massage. read more

Rosalyn is the best masseuse I've ever had and I've been to many, many places. I'm very picky about my massages, as I have very specific needs. I do a ton of running and sports and therefore have really tight legs and shoulders. Rosalyn's technique can be described in one word - precise. As soon as she puts your hands on you, she knows the source of the problem and gets to it. Her kind of massage is medicinal, it's not to make you feel relaxed, it's to make you feel reborn. So as others have noted, this isn't a gentle massage, you will be in a bit of pain on the table as she works through tight muscles. Afterwards, you will feel amazing in way no other massage has provided, at least for me. Come with the expectation that that's how you will feel, also, don't be fazed by the fact that there aren't fancy candles or other things in the environment. It's not spa like in that way. What I love is that you pay for the amazing massage, not the other stuff that to me, is not necessary. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but Rosalyn deserves all the praise she can get! I had a deep tissue massage with Rosalyn last Thursday (10/11) due to ongoing pain and tightness in my upper back and shoulders. I usually get massages once a week, covered by my health insurance, but the relief I get from those massages is extremely brief and insignificant. Because of that, I wasn't expecting too too much when I booked Rosalyn. I read reviews beforehand on Yelp, but I didn't know if the hype was true or not. Finding the location was a tiny bit difficult, since she uses/rents a room in building that isn't clearly labeled. The room itself is a little outdated but definitely calming. Rosalyn herself is extremely professional; she first asks where she should focus her attention (what areas are painful). I opted for her to focus her time on my upper body (though she did do some work on my lower body as well!) I read reviews ahead of time, so I knew that the massage would be painful (but good type of painful). She has and uses a lot of power and knows exactly where to focus her energy on. I didn't have to point out where I had knots for her to work on them. (She does say to tell her if it becomes too painful, but I opted not to.) She also does stretches at the end which really help as well! After the massage, I definitely felt a lot looser! A couple days following, my back was sore and I couldn't move it well, but now, after more than a couple days, I feel completely refreshed! My knots are GONE, which is something I never believed could happen--all for such a good price! I will definitely be coming back! read more

Wow wow wow! One of the best(and deepest) massage I've ever experienced. I've went through a lot of them so called deep tissue but what Ross did was on another level. She's got the power and stamina to get rid of those pesky knots in your body. I was immediately sore right after but felt really good. I will keep coming back and I recommend anyone who needs a legit deep tissue massage come here to experience it yourself. Oh and try not to eat too much before your appointment or better yet fasted if you can you'll thank me later! read more

e first time I went to her, I was desperate because my right shoulder was in so much discomfort. I found her on yelp and called for an appt that day. Luckily she had one spot open for me. She hit all the right spots in my shoulder and I felt so much better after. I was telling her I shojld come for 2 hours next time and she told me that she doesn't think I can handle 2 hours. She was right. There was no way I could handle 2 hours of deep tissue. Lol Been seeing Rosalyn for the past 2 years now. I highly recommend Rosalyn. She rents a room in a building. The building itself is not the best. This isn't a Burke Williams type of experience so don't expect it to be fru fru or anything. Its a great massage for a great price. Where as the massages I have had at more high end places was mediocre at best. read more

Very accommodating. Pleasant, efficient and on time. Texted me the directions to make sure I knew where to find the office.

Best massage ever. I had many massage before but Ross is the best. If you need a real deep tissue massage you find the right place!

If you appreciate deep tissue and being stretched, Rosalyn is your therapist! I've been to hundreds of therapist and massuses in my life, searching for the best experience for A) pain relief and B) stress relief. Rosalyn is amazing at reducing my pain by pushing the ALL the blood out of ALL the muscles reducing negative lactic acid and inflammation. Don't kid yourself... you have never had a deep tissue massage as deep as this tiny woman can go. She generates more strength and energy during the 120 minutes than ANY person before her. And like I said, I've had thousands of massage by over a hundred unique techniques. She offers great pricing and the facility she works out of now is a no frills place that needs renovation. That is out of her control because she merely rents space. As she increases her business and expands her client base, I hope to see her move into a better setting. Until then, you can get a great massage for a low price and save your tips for the hard work instead of the fancy lobby. Highly recommended!! read more

If you're looking for a massage that goes extremely deep to get the knots out, this is the place for you!! Rosalyn uses a combination of deep tissue and stretching to manifest her healing powers. Her services are consistent and well-priced. Note... Rosalyn has [arguably] the most lethal elbows in the Bay Area. This massage is not for the weak!!! (you have been warned!) read more

Rosalyn I found on a whim via yelp because its near my work place and accomodates weekend and late appointments (I usually do a 630pm appt for 90 mins) Cash or paypal only. She has reasonable rates and her style is a lot different from other deep tissue massage places. Prepare to hurt a bit. But usually after the initial shock, your next appointment should be more limber. She has you on your side and does fantastic assisted stretching. She also recommends certain stretches and what to do and not do to as far as addressing IT band problems. She sometimes can accomodate same day appt based on availability which is great in the event I did something wrong at work Its hard to find but her work space is a room rented from an office. So its the suite with the door opening towards Winchester. There will be alot of other buildings with the words massage and those arent it so realllly pay attention to the address. Clicking the address on yelp WILL misdirect you read more

Rossalyn does an incredible job. I do not live in the Bay Area, but I travel here for work often, and I always try to get a deep tissue session when I'm here. I won't even go to a masseuse back at my home state! She does a fantastic job of knowing exactly where the knots are, and as someone who needs the deepest pressure I finally found someone who can deliver! She also helps with stretching out the muscles after which helps a ton. Can't give enough stars for the quality she delivers! read more

If you're looking for a real deep tissue massage, Rosalyn is the person to go to. The place right now is just a room between a boutique and a floor store, but don't let the unassuming location fool you. She really takes the time to work on all your tight muscles and knots, putting in the hand and elbow work and adding stretches that put you at your limit. As soon as she started, she was able to tell my forearms and scaps were really tight just from a quick feel. Definitely not a massage for the faint of heart, but you'll definitely be able to tell the difference a few days later. read more

Deep Deep Deep tissue massage Oh yeah! whew. Painful but effective. Place is a bit dated to be kind but service is great. Thats what counts anyway. Located upstairs in this older building on Winchester Blvd. Fair prices 50 an hours. But beware, it might be painful. read more

I have chronic back problems and have seen many massage therapists as a result. Ross ranks with the best of them. She has an unassuming office next to a flooring company. It has a sink and a toilet but no shower. So, the facilities are rather spartan but the price is also modest. Her specialty seems to be deep tissue massage and she excels at it. This is not for the faint of hard. This is not a massage to make you relax and fall asleep. She will go deep and work out all the knots and stiffness. You will leave more flexible and slightly score and feel much better the next day. Do not go here if you have low pain tolerance, you have been warned, but if you want a truly effective deep tissue massage Ross is the one. read more

Rosalyn is all about that deep tissue service. Not swedish, not gentle, not day-spa type massage and environment. But a simple no frills authentic deep tissue massage experience. I believe her philosophy is that healing comes from digging in and breaking apart those pesky troublesome knots in for true release of tension and relaxation. She has a small stature and yet is one of the strongest persons that has ever massaged me. She really puts a significant physical effort into her work. It's hard taking her full pressure. It hurts getting those knots worked on. BUT, I always walk out of a massage feeling like I am floating on air with a range of motion in my neck, spine and shoulders I don't remember having in recent memory. The relaxation gets better over the coming days. I have had so many "deep tissue" massages from others where what I got was a slightly harder swedish massage, regardless of how much pressure I requested. If you want REAL deep tissue therapy, go see Rosalyn. read more

She is one of the few massage therapists that know how to listen to your body and work out the places that need the most work as opposed to just doing a genetic course. I try other places but she is the best. read more

Be ready to bite your lip! If you are looking for a deep tissue massage that will cut out all your knots you've come to the right place. It is going to hurt, but afterwards it feels like the tendinitis in my elbows is gone, the knots are taken out of my IT band and hamstring, shins and ankle mobility come back from being broken up, I could cover all of my body's injuries, but that would take too much time. I walk out feeling like I've got a new body read more

I found this place through a friend. She recommended this place. My other half was in desperate need of a deep tissue massage. He cam here and he said he felt great. He got a deep tissue massage and it helped him out greatly. He had been complaining about back pain and I asked around. Apparently my friend has been coming here for a while. He paid cash and gave her a nice tip due to the service being so good. He will want to come here again and mentions this is the lady you want to see for a deep tissue massage. She will also text or call you to remind you of your appointment. She is very friendly and sweet! read more

Rosalyn is very skilled and her technique is very good. She is knowledgeable and has great intuition on what the customer's body is in need of specifically. Her session is specialized to the client's needs. She also gave advice on maintaining the body. She is very strong and the session was very painful especially because I am extremely tight, but I felt immediately better afterward. It's definitely a real deep tissue message. She's also a nice woman can converse with you. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a massage for medicinal/health purposes rather than relaxation. read more
