Another great place I learned about via a Juice in the City promotion. Audrey is the best! She talked with me and was very open with me about my body and immediately picked up on things I never told her(she could tell that I sit a ton in the same position, also knew that I favored my right side) just by working through my muscles. She’s very strong and really gets deep into your tissues. She’s also very warm and makes you feel comfortable. I have some serious body issues and sometimes even tense up in massage but she was so warm and didn’t make me feel self conscious! I am going to go back again!

After hearing an off-the-charts glowing recommendation from my hair stylist for Audrey of Just Because Massage, I decided it was worth finding out more. Audrey and I happened to be getting our hair done at the same time, so I got a chance to inquire about her technique. I’d never heard of «Medical Massage» before, and when she described it, it sounded like something I would like. I made an appointment and let her know I’d be interested in a 1 ½ hour appointment and some TMJ work. As a former personal trainer and gymnast, Audrey has a profound understanding of the anatomy and it enhances her work. She quickly noticed my hypermobile joints and knew what to do with my neck and shoulders. With gloves on, she worked the muscles inside my jaw to release TMJ pain, which was very relieving. I’ve seen her twice so far and she is excellent. I am super picky about massage and I highly recommend Audrey, whether you have an injury, pain condition, or just need a relaxing massage. Audrey is nice and professional, which made me feel completely at ease. Tips: * Check her website for more information. * Book ahead — she has two offices and is available in San Mateo on certain days. * Book online or call(888) 714‑1336 to schedule an appointment. After my first appointment, I knew why my hair stylist recommended her so highly. If you see her, you’ll know why I recommend her too.
