Best Massage

A Skilled and Nurturing Masseuse
"David gives an exceptional massage. I go for an 80 minute session and he uses a variety of techniques to relieve chronic muscle tension I experience from scoliosis. He listens well to your preferences and checks in regularly about pressure and comfort. He is very strong and capable of doing deep muscle work, if that's what you want. Definitely recommend him.

SUPERB - Must Give It A Try !!!
"Warm, professional and relaxing David is incredible and has an expert touch. The pre-warmed massage table was especially nice. Deep, myofascial massage is not for the faint at heart. Not just any ordinary massage studio. David embodies the whole mind/body approach to health and wellness. Great hours to accommodate anyone's schedule with easy on line booking and auto confirmation reminders. Worth the drive down from San Francisco!" Mar 4, 2017 - Desmond A
An absolute professional

Incredible deep tissue massage
"David is an experienced massage therapist who truly listens and understands how the muscles can cause pain and/or weakness for the client. His strenuous deep tissue massage quickly isolates the "trouble" points, so that he can focus on those. He recommended a stretch that can easily be done at home on a daily basis, and he left the decision as to when to come back up to me, based on "how you feel." I have already booked my next massage with him!" Nov 6, 2016 - Amber R
Ah-Mazing
"One of my top five massages and really I think top two. David listens and asks good questions. He offered a stretch to use at home and the massage was vigorous yet extremely relaxing. I felt like toxins were leaving my body and I actually felt taller. I plan to go again. Highly recommended." Oct 31, 2016 - L.C.
Lifesaver
"Hands down the best deep-tissue massage I have had. My back was so bad that I had stopped going to the gym and was losing sleep at night, tossing and turning. This massage was more helpful than all the physical therapy and prescribed drugs combined. Glad to find someone that knows the anatomy and how to really work out the strains that build up in every muscle of the body. Totally worth every penny paid. " Oct 6, 2016 - T.C.
Great massage therapist
"I normally don’t leave review, but David is so good that I would like to let more people know about him. I have some muscle spasm for over 8 months and I almost thought I may have bone or disc issues on my neck and back because I’ve seen PT, Chiropractice, acupuncture all possible treatment you name it, none of them give me improvement until I went to David’s massage therapy…He’s very kind, knowledgeable and caring person, I’ll highly recommend him if you also having muscle imbalance."

Excellent massage therapist
"Every massage with David is amazing and I cannot wait until the next one. If I ever have pain in a particular area, he gradually increases his pressure until the pain disappears. David is super friendly, warm, kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I am always reluctant to tell friends about him out of fear that he will get too busy! A massage by David is highly recommended, he is very gifted - you will not regret it!" May 17, 2016 - Shruti G
In one word - AWESOME!

Excellent. Recommend.
"David is truly a "massage therapist". He knows the body like a physical therapist, and he not only gives a very good massage but also advice on good stretches and other therapeutic approaches to relieving pain and gaining flexibility. He's also just a very nice, pleasant guy - compassionate and attentive. I've really enjoyed my biweekly sessions. " Nov 2, 2015 - prakash Singhal
Great Experience
"I- an older woman, have a achy lower back and leg pains. David listened to my issues when I started and has tailored his strokes to address these accordingly. In fact, after being with him for the last 4 months (once a month), my body feels much fitter. He knows what he is doing. And he is extremely pleasant to be with, friendly, helpful and understanding. I think I am hooked." Sep 6, 2015 - Brian Gardner
One of the best
"This is one of the best massage sessions in the San Mateo/Burlingame area, and I am very picky when it comes to massagers. He takes the time to know just what strokes and even stretches (after the session) your body needs. I left feeling completely relaxed with all of my tight knots gone. Highly recommended!"

I always feel so much better after a massage with David and not just the same day but for several days afterward. I think he is a true healer. " June 20, 2015 - R.L.

Deep Tissue Massage
"I recently purchased a Groupon for a Deep Tissue Massage at Bodhi Tree Massage Therapy. I usually prefer a female therapist but David made me feel very comfortable and is very easy to talk to. More importantly, he listens to what you want and needless to say, the pressure was exactly what I was looking for. I've been in search for the best Deep Tissue Massage for a long time. I believe my search is over and I will be going back to Bodhi Tree Massage Therapy." Mar 11, 2015 - Norma Lambert MacLeod
A Highly Skilled Practitioner

Not only did I get a great massage, he also taught me something about my posture that I was not aware of, and gave me an exercise to improve it. That alone was worth the price of admission. I heartily recommend David's services." Mar 9, 2015 - Tina B
Excellent!
"Took advantage of the Groupon offer and so glad I did. I had a back/neck/head ache for 2 weeks and David worked on that area with his magic hands and no longer have that constant tension!

He is thoughtful and sincere and it really feels like a personalized experience every time I get the chance to visit! " Mar 1, 2015 - Nancy Eagan
David is #1
"I felt warm, peaceful energy as I approached David's new place of practice, Vitality Center. He was glad to see me again. As always, my session was a mix of pleasant, therapeutic touch. He knows just how deep to go & when to back off. David introduced me to the owner whose specialty is reposturing; he has 35+ years' body work experience. David knows reposturing treatment will be beneficial for me. Visit Vitality Center, book a massage w/David & explore the "menu." Healing begins upon entering." Feb 28, 2015 - R.L.
