Bob Holzman, LMT Orthopedic & Sports Massage

Working with Bob has been one of the best investments of the year for me! After an 2-month unplanned break following several sessions, all I can say is WOW. I nearly forgot what I was missing. Originally, I came in for a minor foot injury, which he was able to correct quickly, giving me the protocol to stay injury-free ever since. Then we started to work on a neck injury and later my posture overall, and in a short time, I've gone from feeling like a hunchback to now standing upright most of the time--without the compulsive need to crack my neck three times daily! For me, Bob's work has been nothing short of transformational. Bob is strong, kind, sensitive, and extremely professional. He also has what feels like an endless variety of variations in his work; no two massages with him are alike! N.B. Even if his next appointment isn't for several weeks or months, he's well worth the wait. Plus, if you join his waitlist, you may be able to see him much sooner.

I can’t recommend Bob more highly. As someone with a long history of dealing with reoccurring lower back pain, I’d been in a revolving door of different physical therapy. When my symptoms evolved to sciatica, I had expanded my therapy to include orthopedic and sports massage. Bob was recommended to me as someone with deep knowledge and experience with the physical anatomy, natural healing and a non-surgical therapy approach. They were right. Bob presented as very thoughtful, clinical and took his time to assess my alignment and we embarked on a series of massages that included targeted techniques and manipulations to address the critical musculoskeletal problem areas. I found not only much needed immediate relief, but a progression of sustained improvements that have helped enable me to pursue and maintain stronger health and well-being.

I have been seeing Bob regularly for about 2 years. During this time, Bob has helped me with a range of issues, including neck pain and various aches and pains from my athletic training. I always leave feeling better than when I came in, and regular maintenance visits have improved my overall levels of pain significantly. His prices are also very fair. If you are looking for a general full-body massage for relaxation, Bob would not be the right choice, but I would highly recommend him for any injuries or chronic pain.

I've had very many massages from very many people both locally and afar so can say with experience that Bob is absolutely the best massage therapist in this part of the world. I recommend him highly if you're having body pain.

Manual Medicine. Bob’s knowledge, experience, intuition and technique allow him to unleash my body’s inner healing.His work allows me to be my best self! Regular visits are a critical piece in my journey of healthy living. Every treatment is a blessing!

Highly recommend sports massage with Bob Holzman. Bobs expertise has helped me over the last year get through injuries, recover, and make progress to become stronger in areas to prevent future injuries.

I saw Bob a few months ago after a friend, while out on a trip in San Francisco, recommended I look into neuromuscular massage therapy for excruciating neck/shoulder pain I was experiencing. I had been going to a physical therapist but it wasn't making an impact or at least not as quickly as I hoped. This was my first time having this type of massage and WOW, it was impressive. I think everybody should experience this. I intended on going for a second session, if needed, but the pain was virtually gone! Bob also showed me a couple of stretches I can do at home which I did in combination with at-home PT exercises and stretches. I didn't have to do them too long after before I was completely pain free. Hopefully that doesn't change but if it does, I'll be sure to book with Bob again. Highly recommend!

Bob has strong and sensitive, skilled healing hands! He utilizes his knowledge of body movement mechanics and keen intuition to know just what needs work in this moment to bring pain relief and support. I began working with Bob after a lengthy and intense recovery from arch (foot) reconstruction surgery; I was barely walking and in pretty constant pain. Bob brought welcome relief and better functional movement in the first session, and after three sessions, I was back to my desired activities. Since the acute injury support, I now make sure Bob is on my regular body maintenance calendar every few weeks.
