Tinozzi Chiropractic Studio

I rarely write reviews, but after my horrific experience at The Bodywise Massage Inc. (1435 4th…read moreStreet Suite F, San Rafael, CA), owned by Tobi Lessem, I feel compelled to warn others. If you're seeking a place for relaxation, healing, or even basic professionalism, steer clear of this establishment. Tobi's incompetence, condescension, and outright dismissal of customer needs turned what should have been a restorative birthday treat into an emotional disaster. I'll detail exactly what happened so you can see why no one should ever trust her or her business with their well-being. In February, I texted Tobi to book a 2-hour massage for my birthday, which I treat myself to annually as a form of self-care. This year was particularly tough; I'd lost two incredibly close women in my life, leaving me in deep mourning, emotionally heavy, and profoundly vulnerable. I was counting on this session to help process that grief through therapeutic touch. Tobi confirmed the 2-hour booking via text, so I arrived excited for some much needed relief. The masseuse was a bit late, but she got me settled quickly, and we began. About an hour in, while I was face down, fully immersed in the massage, feeling those pent-up emotions finally starting to release, there was a sudden knock at the door. The masseuse stepped out, spoke briefly with Tobi, and returned to inform me that my session was over because the next client had arrived. Stunned, I reminded her of my 2-hour booking and offered to show proof from my texts. She stepped out again to relay this to Tobi, only to come back insisting it was just a 1-hour slot and I had to leave immediately. I was furious. Being yanked out of that vulnerable, healing state mid-session felt like a violent interruption to my emotional process. I got dressed and confronted Tobi in the lobby. I explained the booking error and showed her our text exchange proving the 2-hour booking. Even the other client, a gentleman who'd been double-booked over my time, overheard our conversation and graciously offered to reschedule, saying, "I'm sorry, it's your birthday, I don't want to interrupt that." But it was too late; Tobi had already forced me off the table and out of the room. Tobi acknowledged her mistake in booking me for only 1 hour instead of 2, but her response was shockingly condescending. She dismissed my concerns, saying she "had to make the call" and would prioritize the other client, essentially telling me to she didn't care. When I expressed how deeply disappointed and hurt I was, especially given my personal circumstances, she had the audacity to retort, "If this is the worst thing that's ever happened to you, you're lucky." Appalling doesn't begin to describe it. Here I was, raw and exposed, and she minimized my pain with a flippant remark that showed zero empathy. Later, Tobi sent a follow-up email that only compounded the insult. I've attached a copy here so you can see her mindset in her own words. Read that again: "We are not interested in good customer service." She openly admits her business prioritizes some vague "community" notion over basic respect for paying clients. She assumed the other client's "medical massage" needs trumped mine without knowing anything about my own emotional and physical state, as if grief and vulnerability aren't valid reasons for care. I paid for the full hour I received, but the damage was done: my birthday self-care ritual was ruined, and I left feeling more broken than when I arrived. This isn't just a simple scheduling mix-up; it's a glaring display of arrogance, poor management, and a complete lack of accountability. Tobi's actions show she values her own judgment over evidence (like text proof) and client feelings. In a field like massage therapy, where trust and sensitivity are paramount, this level of disregard is dangerous. Psychologically, interrupting a session mid-flow can exacerbate emotional distress, turning a healing space into a traumatic one. If she treats vulnerable clients this way, imagine how she'd handle yours. Do not give Tobi Lessem or The Bodywise Massage Inc. your time, money, or trust. There are plenty of compassionate, competent massage therapists in San Rafael who actually care about their clients. Save yourself the heartbreak, avoid this place entirely. 1 star, and that's generous.

When I arrived I was greeted kindly and promptly taken back to the massage area. As a woman I am sometimes hesitant to get massages from men but I had 0 hesitation with Tiger - I was completely comfortable with him from the get go. From the start I could tell how skilled he was - I have never had someone find my knots and tension instantly the way he did. If you prefer a soft, fluffier massage I'm sure they do that very well but I prefer a deep tissue, painful-in-a-good-way massage and this was truly one of the best I've had. The pressure was excellent and there was only one moment where I asked him to go a little softer and he adjusted perfectly. At the end he made me tea I was able to take to-go which was an absolute treat. I would say the only possible drawback is that there aren't private rooms so much as private areas separated by curtains, which didn't bother me at all since I was basically entranced the entire time. The calming music also made me feel like I was truly in my own little world. I know there are many places to get a massage in Marin but I couldn't be happier with Thai Thai Therapeutic. If I wasn't just visiting I would definitely be going here consistently! Thanks for an incredible massage Tiger!

I've been getting massages for 15+ years. He dug so deep that he hit places I didn't even know were in pain. It was delightfully and surprisingly uncomfortable in the best way possible. He asked if I was okay and if I needed less pressure, but I told him to keep doing his thing. I walked in with a body that felt 10 years older than it is and left with a body that felt like it was 20 years younger. He released so much tension I actually hugged him. I could have cried (not from the pain haha). Not only was the massage great, the prices were some of the best I've seen in a while. I don't live close, but I will return.

There are flyers with prices as soon as you walk in so there are no surprises. By the way, the prices can't be beat! I was welcomed at the front door and was asked to call a number to secure an appointment. I suggest calling the number if you have questions or need to communicate accommodations since the person on-site was not fluent in English. You can book massages, Accupuncture, and cupping. I ended up booking a therapeutic massage for 90 minutes at $160. This is a great price considering local places can charge upwards of $300. I knew this was going to be a simple and no frills experience. There is no sauna, relaxation room, or fancy spa additions. The credit card machine was broken so cash was requested. I booked by appointment using the phone number, hit the atm, and then made it back for my appointment. There are three tables sectioned off by walls and a sliding door. There was no one in the space besides the two of us. If there were others, you would probably hear them. The towel laid out on the table was very old. That is my only complaint. The massage was great and I had every knot worked out during this session. This masseuse worked diligently to get into my muscles. If you need a deep tissue massage, this is the spot. The time flew by quickly. Again, this is a simple place to get a massage and be on your way. I'll be back again! Pro tip: I suggest bringing headphones if you want to listen to music. Otherwise, you'll hear the restaurant noise next door.

The only thing I have to mention is that I thought the hour was shortened because she had another customer that rolled in.

There is so much to say about how amazing Dr. Tinozzi and staff are. Of course you walk in to the most calming space and see the beautiful and smart Karmin who always greets you with a smile. You also walk in and here hip pandora stations, have access to the best care, masseuses, and products to help your back. Not because they are trying to profit, but because Dr. Tinozzi really is passionate about people having back health and feeling better. In the 4 years I have been seeing her, I have had my back go out at least 6 times to the point I couldnt move. She not only met me outside of hours, calmed me down on the phone, yet she also knew how much to push me physically. She is one of the best chiropractors I have seen and I have seen many since being in a bad car accident. Although, I trust her so implicitly, my children with healthy spines have seen her many times, especially my son who plays baseball and football. She makes you feel like part of the family and it feels like a miniature spa day when you go there. They put heat on you then massage you for a few minutes before Dr. Tinozzi adjusts you. They have cool fish in every room and the whole office is spotless. I always feel like it is my guilty pleasure seeing her because I feel like I went on a vacation after seeing her and her staff. They are really worth your time and you are worthy of being their patient. read more

If you really want to get rid of your pain with a perfect experience, you should try to book an appointment with Dr, Rina. I tried different chiropractic and by far at Tinizzi I got what I really was looking for. I hurt my back constantly from lifting my child. I really suffered 3 weeks and I booked with a chiropractor, he saw me 4 times before I stopped going to him. I realized I'm wasting my time since my back was still hurting and he was working 10 min and charging me a lot. Anyway I found dr Rina online and with good reviews I went to her office. The first thing I notice was how the staff were nice and polite and then I met dr and she was so patient going through my problems, she spend time to explain about what she think my problem is. Then she left and nelly gave me 15m message which felt so great and doctor came and adjust my back after message, the next day I got an hour message with Rosa and it felt so great, in 2 days I was pain relief and I couldn't believe it. Since then I go to Her office once a week and she adjust my back and Rosa who I really love her healing hand give me an hour message. You cannot believe how I feel since then, no more pain and I feel less stressed. I will highly recommend everyone to at least try her practice and I'm sure like me you will love her. read more

I have been a patient at Tinozzi Chiropractic for over 10 years and it is hands down the finest chiropractic establishment I have been in. Everyone who works there is friendly and professional and most importantly: they are extremely skilled at what they do! I have been healed from numerous injuries by Dr. Tinozzi and her staff and I recommend them to my friends and family constantly. Case in point: There are 5 members of my family who are patients of Dr. Tinozzi! There are several extremely talented massage therapists who work with Dr. Tinozzi. The ability to go from a massage to an adjustment makes Tinozzi Chiro a one-stop wellness experience. The decor of the office is inviting and the adjustment rooms are quiet, clean, serene and private and I always walk out floating on air. I can't recommend this studio enough! read more

I have been a client of Rina's for about two years. Without exception, every time I visit her practice I have a wonderful, healing experience. It starts with the warm greeting from the staff. Then there is the relaxing massage (every therapist is amazing!) followed by the appropriate "hands on" with Rina which include conversations with her relating to my general well-being. It's all exceptional! I sought Rina out because I was in pain and now that I am pain-free I look for reasons to visit! She is the most compassionate, skilled, and wise chiropractor who has ever worked with me. read more

I first found Dr. Tinozzi when my lower back was so bad I couldn't walk or drive without severe pain. After just a couple of treatments I was better, and after a couple of months I was completely pain free. It's been 4 years and still no relapse or pain - weekly treatments and massage have kept it at bay. She will work with you for your particular situation and treatment varies based on that. The 'team' at Tinozzi Chiropractic is knowledeable, caring, and professional and always make you feel welcome - not like a patient, much more like a friend. read more

All the 4 and 5 STAR chiropractors were booked, not working, or started their day sometime after 2 pm. NOT HELPFUL !! TWC, was available. I was grateful. Though it is a farther drive from HWY 101, into the Tiburon Penninsula, a back out of wack and the PAIN I suffered made the drive worth it. [ Also worthy, are the handy pain pills my regular doctor prescribed to me...but those pills did not adjust my back]. These folks are gentle, thorough and ~ a big plus~ do NOT "crack" "pop" nor "wrestle with your body" into some strangle- sumo wrester- maneuver to adjust your misaligned spine. They use a click-type device, and an exam table, which gently moves your joints as directed. Evidently TWC has a full range of homeopathic/ herbal treatments~ which I was very happy NOT to be "sold" on, since simply, my back was severely in trouble. Nothing more irritating than an enthusiastic sales person during an emergency visit. When I asked for "bailing wire or duct tape" to immobilze my unstable back, they offered me the next best thing; a soft stablizing belt. Note to self: I (personally) ASKED for something to help, they did not try to up-SELL me anything more. The prices are very reasonable for YELPERS. Check it out. What is worth the extra STAR? Dividers, or a curtain, placed between the waiting room doorway, and the treatment area. Everyone's clothes are on, so modesty is not the issue: the Issue would be Privacy. Additionally, a sign in the windows of doors, where many people might arrive (their sign hangs on the second story of a building facing the main thoroughfare). We need help being re-directed to the back side of the suite for entry. It was a little confusing. Conclusion: I am a fan. Emergency help, immediate relief ! Thanks to TWC !!!!

Well all I can say is that "I Love It". I trust Andrea and know that I'm in good hands…read more Her knowledge of the body and mind is truly inspiring and I always learn something about how the physical body works. Anything that is awry with my bones are set into positive alignment with the freedom to move comfortably. The office site is easy to get to and it has plenty of parking. The waiting room is light and airy. And it's always so nice to see other clients (good humor support group). Sometimes old friends. The receptionist is always happy to see you. Appointment scheduling and payment information is provided. Very professional and efficient. I love and appreciate these people. It's such a positive experience to have a good health support group. P.S Andrea cracks me up

Dr. Stephanie Lum is the best ever. I am in lala land after her treatments…read more I found her on Yelp immediately after moving to Marin and hurting my lower back from lifting boxes. My lower back has been a weak spot of mine, and her customized treatments really helped for weeks. I continued to see her for back issues, but have also gone for wellness tune-ups and allergy related issues, and she's just as skilled at treating those concerns as well. My back is so much better thanks to core strengthening exercises, so I took a long break from visiting the office, but recently returned when my neck was kinked up. Dr. Lum remembered almost everything about me and my body! Such an amazing presence and bedside manner she has as well. At one of my last visits I was dealing with some anxiety, and she placed the needles to calm my central nervous system, and I couldn't believe how well it worked. I was in such a peaceful state that I could hardly drive or talk afterwards. I love that her treatments are so tailored to the concern at hand, and she really takes her time to understand what's happening with your body. I wish that all trips to the doctor were like this.
