The Massage Garage

I was on vacation in San Francisco and I took a swim in the ocean and hurt my neck. The next morning I was in excruciating pain. I went to see Gary and his hands were magical! Gary is extremely professional and such an amazing masseuse. He really took his time with my massage and neck stretches. After 45 minutes of hitting certain spots and stretches my pain was completely gone. I was in such a good mood after my massage too. Not only did he take my pain away, I was also in a happy mood for the rest of the day!

I strongly recommend Gary to anyone who suffers from pain or someone who has alot of stress.

Gary is the best massage therapist I've had the pleasure of working with.

I've been suffering for weeks (but it felt like months) with pain in my hip that radiated down to my knee. And then I remembered-THE MASSAGE GARAGE! I suffered needlessly. Gary was able to diagnose the root of the pain. And then he figured out why. And then he treated me and relieved my pain. It seemed like magic but it was actually his extensive knowledge and vast experience.
I didn't realize how out of balance my body had become-it was very gradual until merely standing brought about discomfort and walking brought about real pain. Immediately after my session my entire body relaxed. I will take Gary's advice and return in a week.
I would ask him to marry me but he's already happily married-he's that good

5 stars honestly doesn't do justice to the level of care, comfort, knowledge and improvement that Gary's treatments deliver. I've had chronic pain issues for decades that PT has never resolved and massage therapy only temporarily relieves. Gary's methods are different and more effective - he not only identifies the source of discomfort and provides muscular release, but he also shares useful tips to take back to your everyday life to help reverse the impact from injury and habitual movements. He's truly a walking encyclopedia of neuromuscular facts, and I learn something new during each session. Honestly, it's impossible to exaggerate how invaluable Gary's treatments have been to my well-being. If you're looking for a step beyond a typical massage and a therapist with a sixth sense for healing, you've found it.

Great experience!!
Gary is very thoughtful and professional. My experience was beyond my expectations. Gary did very through assessment before he did any work on my muscles that really needed the attention.
I highly recommend this place if you really want to take care of your body aches for long run!!

My pilates teacher referred me to Gary. I had never experienced a massage like this where:

The first-time client intake was more thorough than any other intake I've experienced. And I've tried almost every modality I could afford! It covered physical and emotional trauma, and even family history of health issues.

He was extremely intuitive. He asked if I broke any bones. I said no. But as soon as he saw my feet, he asked if I broke any toes. Then I remembered I did.

He told me what I tell my energy work clients that I never heard any other bodyworker or healer tell me: "Everything is confidential and you're welcome to express whatever you feel and if you need me to hold space while you experience whatever emotions, just tell me. Or if you need privacy, I can leave the room."

He did muscle testing so I could instantly see how his bodywork changed my body.

I felt my chi energy moving in most of my body, more than I ever felt.

He shared postural exercises and trigger point apps that no other physical therapist, pilates teacher or bodyworker shared with me before.

I could feel he cared about me as a person and he didn't feel rushed. He reminded me to stop giving my reiki away for free.

He kindly shared tips for my health issues, even ones that seemed to not have to do with bodywork.

When I walked out of his office, my leg that he worked on felt strongly different in a good way.

That night I had the a strangely intuitive dream that led me to a life-saving treatment in real life.

I think he generously offers pre-paid package deals that aren't listed on his website but are at his office.

I have been receiving Gary's massage therapy for a couple of months now. I had been dealing with shoulder and low back problems for a long time, and even physical therapy didn't provide the desired results. However, Gary has been able to effectively identify and address the root cause. His approach goes beyond that of a regular massage, and I'm already experiencing noticeable improvements. Thanks to his therapy, I plan to continue maintenance sessions with him.

Gary is amazing. His goal is to help and educate people so they can be free of pain and have the best possible quality of life.

For 3 years I suffered from debilitating pain to the point I was bed ridden. I saw doctors at UCSF and Stanford. All I was offered was medications that barely worked and had horrendous side effects.

Neuromuscular sessions with Gary has helped me immensely. Not only did the sessions help my pain which drastically changed the quality of my life. Sharing his knowledge and tips on how to care for my body has educated me on how to help myself take better care of my body.

Gary is knowledgeable, intuitive, thoughtful and caring. He also has a great sense of humor.

I highly recommend Gary and the Massage Garage.

Gary has been enormously helpful in supporting my injury recovery and bringing back my mobility! Thanks Gary!

not all heroes wear capes...
I say that because Gary saved me. I came in shambles after throwing out my neck and this wonderful being fixed me right up. I've been a few times since for since for some body tune ups and it is truly a pleasure. I can confidently say Gary knows the body in such an intricate way and anybody (any body) would be more than safe in his hands.

Gary is the best! You will laugh, you will cry, you will kiss your pains goodbye. I need to go back...

Gary is a lovely person and a truly gifted healer. I went to Gary with some musculoskeletal issues after being in a small car accident. I left his office with greatly reduced pain and a much happier outlook. Gary also educated me about myofascial release and showed me how to treat my own issues. He is truly a lovely person and I recommend this place very highly.
