Orthopedic Massage SF

As the other reviews state, Bryan is super talented at what he does! I found him last year when I had frozen shoulder after I had been left in the sling too long following a labrum repair surgery. Bryan was able to get the shoulder free and greatly increased my range of motion after a few visits.
I recently had to have my other shoulder operated on, and am now a month after surgery. I just got home from my first massage session with Bryan since the surgery. I’ve been doing physical therapy one to two times a week, but so needed this massage! The muscles around the shoulder become so tight and I feel better at this moment than I have all month. His services should be a part of any recovery like this as it cuts down on the healing time tremendously.
This last spring, I also had some issues with a pinched nerve in the side of my abdomen from scar tissue from other surgeries. The doctor’s only option was going to be injecting a bunch of stuff to deaden the nerve. I thought I’d give Bryan a shot as I’m tired of surgeries and didn’t want anything else injected in me if I could avoid it. I did 4 sessions with Bryan where he intensely massaged the area the nerves were getting caught up. I’d say it’s about 98% better, well above what I expected. It was constantly very painful before, and now I’m just aware of it being tight from time to time, but there’s no pain. So glad I did it!
Highly recommend Orthopedic Massage!

Bryan is an extremely talented Orthopedic Massage Therapist! I was in a car accident and had 4 herniated disks and severe soft tissue damage. I was amazed at Bryan’s ability to read my body and help me let go of a lot of the tension in my back, neck, shoulders, and hips. I did not have to tell him where the tension was he just found it and helped me release it. I feel worlds better! His approach is very systematic and clinical and his attitude is great. I would recommend Bryan to anyone experiencing muscle or joint pain. Thank you so much Bryan!

Bryan is an amazing Orthopedic Massage Therapist. Bryan came highly recommended from a friend who had previously been worked on by Bryan. This is not a lazy spa massage — Bryan truly listened to the problems I was having with my neck and made a massage that was customized to my needs. Bryan is polite, honest, and respectful. His skill set is wide, yet focused. His approach to massage delicate but powerful. I would recommend him to anyone in need of relief from daily routines, accidents, and sports related injuries.

My L4 disc ruptured a while back and, after many ER visits and a few weeks on Dilauded and Valium with no real relief and a zombie-​like state, I was seriously considering major back surgery with significant down time. I was 3 days away from the surgery, when I decided that I would try a treatment with Bryan. I crawled into his studio and walked out virtually pain free and with an incredibly restored range of motion. Needless to say, I canceled the surgery and I am currently seeing Bryan about 2 times a week. I have been able to work every day and get to my 4 story walk up apartment with ease. I have infrequent, minimal pain, and when I do, it is relieved by OTC strength motrin. Once I am at 100%, I plan on seeing Bryan at least twice a month to maintain good back health.
I highly recommend Bryan for your orthopedic needs and you should absolutely see him before you undergo any surgery.

I’ve been a client of Bryan’s for 7 months. He’s a great therapist who I highly recommend. Definitely the best I’ve experienced.

I’ve been seeing Bryan for over a year now and have nothing but good things to say. He’s a gifted healer and really knows how the body works. He’s helped me managed my chronic back and neck injuries and I’ve felt a reduction in pain thanks to the orthopedic massages. Recently, I’ve been increasing my running activity and he’s been able to keep me going. Bryan is quite knowledgeable and is very quick to offer a solution, such as a stretching exercise, that I can do on my own to manage my pain. I highly recommend Bryan!

Bryan Sharpe is a miracle worker! After seeing his website, I left him a phone message and he left me one right back, saying he was driving and would call me very soon to set up an apointment. Score One for Bryan — just recently I had left a voice mail for another massage therapist and a physical therapist who never even returned my call. I was looking for true body work — not just a sweet, fluffy, spa-​like massage experience. I have one replaced hip and another on the way and some major discomfort in my neck and shoulder area. While a whole body massage is nice, I was there to address these issues and Bryan did exactly that. He’s the first body worker that actually listened to me and didn’t just do «his thing.» The work wasn’t a cake walk — it was somewhat uncomfortable, espcially on my pecs, but when I got up from the table, I actually felt taller and more open and painfree. Also, at my request, Bryan gave me some easy stretching exercises to do. at home. He followed up with me by email a few days later to see how I was doing. He also does house calls for an additional $ 20 and he takes credit cards and I could use my HCSA. Bryan is the ultimate professional in his practice and an amazing body worker. I feel so fortunate I found him.

I have known and have seeing Bryan for over 2 years. His hands and orthopedic massage have worked magic on me. I had been suffering for leg and ankle pain after surgery as a result of a broken ankle and fractured heel (calcaneus). In addition I suffered from sciatic pain. Bryan is a marval. His knowledge of the body and orthopedic work has relieved me of my pains and discomfort. I had almost given up hope after years of physical therapy, chiropractors and massage therapists and getting no relief. Thank goodness I found Bryan to give my pain free life back. He is the best.

Bryan’s practice is perfect for athletes or anyone who’s invested in self-​care and health.
The performance benefits of orthopedic massage, IMO, last longer than other forms of massage like Swedish (even though Swedish feels awesome). After an orthopedic massage, you won’t necessarily feel transported or that satisfyingly exhausted kind of relaxation, but you will feel more comfortable in your body and better able to keep up proper form when exercising.
For over a year, Bryan has helped me manage shoulder injuries and the overall tension that simply comes along with sports like weightlifting and competitive swimming.
Bryan’s work is a huge value — excellent bodywork with no «fancy spa» frills or attitude. He’s kind, professional, and he’ll adapt each session to fit what you’re feeling at the time. If you’re looking for a great alternative to Psoas (another favorite of mine), definitely call on him.

I have been seeing Bryan for massage since 2006 and he is by far the most gifted massage practitioner that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. His work is always consistent and he is very professional. His deep tissue work sends me to another world and his orthopedic work is intense, profound, and effective. I love Bryan! He is my favorite!
