Psoas Massage + Bodywork

When I was pregnant I somehow developed frozen shoulder in both shoulders. Not only was it incredibly painful, I wasn’t able to sleep on my side which you’re supposed to do as the baby gets bigger (sleeping on your back can lead to risks when the baby is big), so I was really anxious for my shoulders to heal. I was referred to Psoas by a friend and was lucky to book an appointment with Jason. He was knowledgeable, talented, and so, so kind. After a few months of sessions (they were painful and I could barely move my arms after), I felt like my shoulders were making progress and combined with PT I was fully better by my third trimester. I am so grateful to Jason for what he did to accelerate my healing, and also his empathy as a father — he squeezed me even though he’s in high demand and probably does massage therapy for pro athletes. I cannot recommend him enough if you need some sort of musculoskeletal rehab. Please pass my gratitude to Jason!

I suffered a lower back injury a few weeks ago that left me barely able to walk. Since my regular doctor didn't have anything to recommend aside from pain killers and rest I decided to try my luck with massage therapy and chiropractic treatment. I chose Psoas because they seemed like a full service clinic and I have not been disappointed in the slightest. First I got a sports massage from Marc and that loosened me up. Then a few days later I got my first chiropractic adjustment from Katherine. She recommended I get trigger point massage from Robyn and after subsequent session from the two of them my back was loosened up enough to enable to me to enjoy my former range of motion. Rest helped alot, but I don't think I'd be enjoying my current quality of life without their help. The process took about 3 weeks, but they've now set me on a path to better health. I really appreciated the synergy between them and the way I had a consistent file where they could compare notes and strategies to arrive at the optimum treatment. I've got a few more appointments with them, and I'm looking forward to each one.

In a big metropolitan city, you'd think it would be easy to find a good massage therapist. There's definitely no shortage of options in San Francisco. But I thought the search was hopeless after countless tries, until I came across Psoas Massage + Bodywork. I should preface this by stating I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy and perhaps have high expectations. Even still, Psoas Massage + Bodywork opened my eyes to a higher quality of care both from a client and clinical perspective. What stands out most is their professionalism, communication and cleanliness. The staff took great care of me, took time to listen to my pain story, and specifically addressed both what I thought needed work, as well as what they perceived to be the issue. Aren't you tired of massage therapists working the whole body despite wanting focused work on one area? PSOAS Massage + Bodywork is a place I will confidently send my patients, friends and family alike.

I absolutely love this place! Léo is incredible. I’ve got a lot of problems in my body after many years of intense athleticism. He’s fixed most of it in only three sessions! I’ve been in pain and compensating for years. I can’t recommend this place gig enough, especially for athletes.

Rose was great! She knew exactly how to fix my pain issues and was very helpful. I walked out in much better condition and would definitely schedule a massage with her again. I must add, I've visited many massage businesses and so far I can say Psoas Massage + Bodywork has been the best. I appreciate that all Psoas Massage + Bodywork therapists are knowledgeable, professional and know I can always get an awesome therapeutic massage.

Derek is such a competent and knowledgeable therapeutic bodyworker that he was able to relieve my lower back pain AND heal the remnants of my frozen shoulder in one session. A number of weeks later, the pain returned in my shoulder and we agreed that stress was the source of my reoccurring muscular tension, which was causing more pain. Derek was willing to keep working on me, but recommended that I wait to schedule my next appointment, until I got my stress under control. I appreciated that. I went back to him once the stress lifted and he healed my body again. I’ve not had any pain since. I try to get back on a monthly basis so that I can maintain optimal body strength and it’s working out well for me. As some reviews have mentioned, it can be an expensive proposition, but when you are in pain and don’t have your health, I’ve discovered that the therapy is worth the money. I highly recommend this business. Meg

I was so impressed with my first two sessions at Psoas. They clearly know what they are doing and are incredibly thoughtful in their approach. I felt immediate progress with tightness I have been experiencing following a running injury and look forward to going back to stay tuned up. I had no idea how much massage therapist could know about the body and the intricate ways in which they can resolve issues.

I had an awesome session at Psoas with Scott! I am a competitive runner, and I really felt like I was in good hands with him- He's definitely very professional and knowledgeable with athletes. The space is also very welcoming, and the reception staff were incredibly kind and helpful! I am so happy to have found my new go-to massage place!!
