I have chronic back pain and a hard time finding relief. My appointment with the therapist here was SO helpful. They were very intuitive and got to the root of my muscle pain. They also gave me good recommendations for healing and pain management after. I have paid much more than $95 for an hour massage at this level of care and healing--definitely worth it!

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!

Over the weekend, I came to see Avocado for a neck/shoulder massage. For the last few weeks, I have been having really bad neck and shoulder pains that pulls up my jaw and into the back of the head. I also have been having dizziness especially when I'm on the computer at work which is not fun! Due to the Christmas weekend, there were not many places that offer acupuncture that was open. I found Santa Rosa Medical Massage on google and thought I'll give them a try.
1. I love that you can book online - TONS of same day appointments.
2. I love that there is a private parking lot so you don't have to park on the street.
3. Clean facilities. Private rooms.
4. Avocado took the time to LISTEN to me and get to know me and my pain before we began. She was taking notes the whole time.
Those were all big pluses for me. The massage was relaxing and I felt more at ease and grounded after. She gave some great pointers for my work station as well as work out tips at home. I felt she genuinely cared for my health and well being. Although sadly, my neck issue and dizziness did not get cured from this massage (I'm more messed up than I thought), I still recommend them for your injury needs.

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!
