Calyse M.Stanislaus County, CA515485May 5, 2024I've been going to get massages here for a little under a year. I bought a package deal
Steve is super nice and knows where to massage more
He remembers how much pressure you prefer
I feel super comfortable on the table and like the essential oil that is used
Super relaxing.
Just bought another package for around $636 for 4 at 90 min each
Definitely recommend steve

Hannah M.SoMa, San Francisco, CA02Aug 25, 2024This is my favorite place to get a massage. I have had excellent experiences with Jane, Julie, and Polly, who all really helped me relax and reduce pain. In addition, the atmosphere is mellow and unpretentious, which I really value.

T S.Palo Alto, CA482Aug 15, 2024I have gone to many, many, and different spas for a massage. All have felt wonderful. However, Massage Therapy Center Palo Alto is well-beyond what a spa can provide. With its focus specifically on massage, it offers 15 different types from which you can select, making it the ONLY go-to for a real massage.

Thank you Doug for your 5-star review! I am so glad to hear that the combination of massages and acupuncture sessions were helpful to you! A high praise from you as a former massage therapist is particularly encouraging to us!

Jialu (the owner)Jun 26, 2024Previous reviewI have bee getting Acupuncture with Dr Susan Cheng at the Massage Therapy Center and the changes in my overall health are incredible. The treatments have brought me into a more balanced state of being and even tempered. I have been recovering from multiple surgeries and post operative complications that I thought I would never recovered from but, the treatments in conjunction with several massage treatments have given back to me more flui movements, flexibility, and a calmer state of mind. I'm grateful that I stumbled upon this place and as a former massage therapist for almost 30 years appreciate the staff and modalities offered here. They have helped enormously and got me through the wreckage of my medical treatments that fell short of rehabilitating me to pain free movement. Grazié Mille!
Doug S San Jose - Joyce G.Merced, CA0135Jun 27, 2024
I have been going to Massage Therapy Center for many years and love the place. Recently, I have been suffering with sciatica and have had several massages
with Jane. She is so knowledgeable in applying the right amount of pressure in the rights areas. She always asks which areas are bothering me the most and focuses on them. She has helped me more than physical therapy. I highly recommend Jane at Massage Therapy Center.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Outstanding massage! Dario know his business! This was my 2nd but not my last visit. I went in with real issues, after an hr + of him using one method and then another as was needed, he took the time to show me some stretches to do at home.
lovely calm and clean environment.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you Rebecca for your 5-star review! Dario is indeed a very talented massage therapist. He has rich chiropractic background which is why he was able to not only work on my muscles but also resolve issues related to my frame (e.g., I tend to roll my shoulders inward due to long-time sitting in front of a computer).
Anyway, glad you found him and liked his service. Come back again soon!

I have had many visits with Becky. I have sore knees and I really feel I benefit from her stretching technique.
She also has a strong understanding of several of the methods of using touch points that she learned as a child from her father, an herbal master in China.
Highly recommended.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
