Give the Gift of Massage

  SRMM is amazing! I was not making any post surgery progress with shoulder range of motion, and Mariah saved me! I have had trigger point massage regularly to get functional again and I truly owe it to Mariah and SRMM! It has made my recovery actually happen!

  It's been a while since I had a massage, but since we're back in full workout season, I may have worked a little too hard at the gym. My left shoulder, specifically my rotator cuff (yes, it's bothered me before so I know what it is) needed some work. I went to Santa Rosa Medical Massage, booked with Avocado, which is her name. Like good therapists I have seen in the past, she 'listens' to your body, they just know where your pain is. Of course I confirmed it. She did an excellent job, but I messed up that area really good so I'll have to go back. Massage doesn't always fix everything in one sitting. I can't take pain meds anymore, and most doctors won't prescribe them, trust me, this is the next best thing, if not THE best thing.

  I was in desperate need of having my back cupped before a competition as my chiropractor was out of town. I was looking on Yelp and came across this location. Andrea was amazing! She explained how everything would go, warned me of sensations I might feel, and ensured I was comfortable the entire time. She started off with a gentle massage and then loosely added a cup to warm it up, I think she said. It felt like a massage with the cup. It was quite nice. As she placed the cups, she made sure I was okay with the pressure for every single one. I did learn that cup son the fattier part of your body hurts a little more than the muscular parts. That was a weird sensation but I felt good the entire time. While the cups did their thing, Andrea gave me a little upper body massage with and without the cups. It was so soothing. I giggled to myself when she went toward the top of my shoulders. I have very muscular shoulders and it's like hills and valleys. The cups just wanted to pop right off every time. She did get one to stick really well and it made me wonder "Should I also get my traps cupped?!" cause it felt really good.
When we were done, the cupped area was very risen and it felt weird to sit back against anything but the swelling went down after a few hours. I was a little worried I was bruised in some of the areas but it was just tender.
I loved this experience and I will be back! After reading these reviews on the massages... I need a massage now! Oh, I also won my competition! My back held up the entire day! Thank you, Andrea!

  I have just started attending Santa Rosa Medical Massage and have referred a lot of friends to the business. Stacy is a very kind person and her business is run well.

The pandemic has been a difficult time for all of us, and I appreciate the steps that the business has taken to keep clients and staff safe, especially since massage cannot be done at a distance. The communication about the COVID policies is well communicated, including in appointment reminder emails and a sign on the door.

There are a lot of different therapies offered, and I was able to get advice on what type of therapy may be best based on my specific needs. There was also a lot of communication before and during treatment regarding pressure preference and areas of focus, which is appreciated.

I had a great massage, and my partner did as well. He went for more specific pain due to repetitive motion and sports. He was unable to lift his arm above his head, but left with improved mobility and decreased pain. Stacy also gave him recommendations for reading materials to help with overall wellness.

The business is also currently offering free extern massages, which I think is fantastic because it helps new massage therapists with their career development AND is a great benefit to clients. Win, win!

  Stacy was fantastic. Thorough knowledge of the body, listened well and outstanding technique. I can't recommend her highly enough. I wish I could go back tomorrow but she's booked well ahead.

  I found this place via Yelp. My shoulders and neck were so tight that I couldn't even move my head to the side.

I booked with this place because:
1. They had a same day appointment
2. I was able to book online
3. They had a special for new clients - 60 minute trigger point for only $59

I got Jamie as a massage therapist and she was absolutely wonderful. I also added cupping ($10 extra) to my session. By the end of the appointment I was able to move my neck. I was still stiff and sore but better. As the day went on I noticed that I was getting better slowly. Two days later... I am still getting better.

This was my first time doing a trigger massage and I am hooked. It was better than any massage I have gotten and they really focused on the areas that were giving me pain. This is a massage where you can see the effects of it happen day after day.

I will definitely be back. It's a lot more affordable than traditional places so you can actually afford to do a massage more than a couple times a year.
