Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Relaxation – Swedish massage is known for its calming effects, helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation in both the body and mind.

Improved Circulation – The gentle, flowing strokes help stimulate blood flow, which can improve oxygen delivery to muscles and tissues, enhancing overall circulation.

Pain Relief – It can reduce muscle tension, alleviate soreness, and help manage pain from conditions like chronic pain, muscle stiffness, or stress-induced discomfort.

Increased Flexibility – Swedish massage can help lengthen tight muscles, improving range of motion and flexibility, which is beneficial for athletic performance or mobility in daily life.

Boosted Immune System – By promoting relaxation and improving circulation, Swedish massage may help boost the body's immune response, making it easier to fight off illness.

Reduced Anxiety and Depression – The soothing nature of Swedish massage can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, promoting an overall sense of well-being and mental clarity.

Improved Sleep – Regular Swedish massages can help individuals sleep better by promoting relaxation and reducing physical discomfort, which can lead to deeper, more restful sleep.

Detoxification – Swedish massage stimulates the lymphatic system, aiding in the removal of toxins from the body and supporting detoxification processes.

Stretch Massage (60 min)

1 hr··$90

Stretch massage is a unique therapy that combines the benefits of traditional massage with targeted stretching techniques to enhance flexibility, relieve muscle tension, and promote relaxation. This method focuses on elongating muscles while simultaneously working to release knots and tightness, creating a comprehensive experience that rejuvenates both the body and mind.

One of the primary benefits of stretch massage is its ability to reduce stress and promote relaxation. The combination of stretching and massage stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to a calming effect on the body. This therapy is particularly beneficial for athletes, active individuals, or anyone who experiences muscle tightness due to prolonged sitting or repetitive activities.

In addition to physical benefits, stretch massage can also foster a greater awareness of one’s body. Clients often leave feeling more in tune with their physical state, which can lead to improved posture and overall body mechanics. Whether seeking relief from chronic pain, preparing for an athletic event, or simply looking to unwind, stretch massage offers a holistic approach to well-being that integrates relaxation, flexibility, and rejuvenation.

Hand/Arm Massage (60 min)

1 hr··$90

Hand and arm massage is a therapeutic practice that focuses on relieving tension and improving circulation in the hands, arms, and forearms. It involves a variety of techniques, such as kneading, pressing, and gentle stroking, which help to relax muscles, alleviate stress, and promote overall wellness.

Improved circulation – Massaging the hands and arms helps enhance blood flow, which can be particularly beneficial for people with conditions like arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Reduced muscle tension – Relieves tightness and stiffness in the hands, wrists, and forearms, often resulting from repetitive motions or overuse.

Stress relief – The soothing effects of massage can help calm the mind and reduce anxiety.

Pain relief – It can help reduce pain in the hands, wrists, and arms, particularly for those who perform tasks like typing or manual labor.

Enhanced flexibility – Regular hand and arm massages can improve the range of motion and flexibility of joints, reducing the likelihood of injuries.

(Highly Recommend for occupations that use their hands alot such as (Nurse/Doctor/Esthetician)

Deep Tissue Massage (60 min)

1 hr··$120

Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to relieve chronic pain, muscle tension, and stiffness. It uses slow, firm strokes and pressure to address tight muscles, fascia, and scar tissue, often focusing on areas like the back, neck, shoulders, and legs.

Pain Relief – Deep tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to help alleviate chronic pain, muscle tension, and soreness, particularly in areas like the back, neck, and shoulders.

Improved Mobility – By breaking down muscle adhesions and knots, deep tissue massage can improve range of motion, flexibility, and overall mobility, which is especially beneficial for athletes or those with tight muscles.

Reduced Muscle Tension – It helps release tight, contracted muscles and fascia, reducing muscle stiffness and promoting relaxation.

Increased Circulation – Deep tissue massage stimulates blood flow to tissues, which can promote better oxygen delivery, help flush out toxins, and support the healing process for injuries.

Improved Posture – By loosening tight muscles, especially those in the back and shoulders, deep tissue massage can help improve posture and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal imbalances.

Stress and Anxiety Reduction – While deep tissue massage is intense, it can also trigger the release of endorphins, which can reduce stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue, promoting relaxation.

Rehabilitation of Injuries – Deep tissue massage is often used to treat specific injuries, such as sprains, strains, or sports-related injuries, by addressing deep muscle tissue damage and promoting healing.

Chronic Condition Management – It is effective for managing conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, or chronic back pain by targeting deeper muscle layers and offering relief from ongoing discomfort.

Toxin Removal – Like other forms of massage, deep tissue massage can help facilitate the body's natural detoxification processes by improving lymphatic circulation and flushing out waste products from tissues.

(Recommend for those dealing with chronic pain, muscle injuries, or individuals seeking a more intense massage to address deeper muscle issues)

I had the most incredible massage experience with Andy! His clean set up, friendliness and the calming atmosphere put me at ease. Andy was extremely skilled and attentive and took time to understand my tension areas and tailored the deep tissue massage accordingly.

The pressure was perfect, and he checked in throughout to ensure I was comfortable. I left feeling completely relaxed and noticeably less tight in my shoulders and mid back.

I highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a deeply restorative massage. I’ll definitely be messaging him back for another massage.

Had my BEST AND EXCELLENT MASSAGE with with ANDY and i was more than impressed. He found all the areas which had knotted muscles.

Having been attending in so many massage spa theraphist i can honestly say Andy got my 10/10 that you won’t get a better massage than him. With the correct pressure Andy knows exactly the right areas to work on. I am continuously impressed by the professional and attentive care he provides during the sessions.

Needless to say I would highly recommend ANDY

A hidden gem in Berkeley with Andy. He knows how to release tension & relax your muscles when you choose a Deep Tissue massage.
The knowledgeable & well versed hands were evident when working with my right shoulder & neck. Despite feeling a little sore afterwards, I felt a relief from all the knots accumulated over the past couple of months.

It was my first experience & it certainly won’t be my last.
