I began seeing Bob Sanchez a number of months ago to treat my crippling sciatica back pain and the subsequent lock up of my back, neck, hamstring, and calf muscles that occurred due to the compensation. After my first 2-3 sessions, my daily back pain has all but alleviated and I continue to see Bob for maintenance weekly or bi-weekly. I've never experienced such attentive and correct myo fascia release before and it's blown my mind how effective it is. Massage is just one component tho. Bob also shines from an 'educator' perspective.
He really frames the problem and what he's doing in an educational and digestible way. He also assigns exercises or stretches to do at home. These are KEY, listen to him and do your homework! Best of all, Bob is jsut a warm and helpful human being - funny, kind, and knows a LOT about the body. I will continue to see Bob at Dimensions in Health for years to come.

Dimensions in health is the best massage therapy office I have ever been to. Bob is one of a kind and hands down the best massage therapist I have ever worked with. He is extremely in tune with not only his body but yours as well. I also had the oralfascia massage for the very first time last week. It was the first time in my life my jaw didn't click while eating. I highly recommend that specific massage for anyone with neck or jaw issues!

Bob gets my top recommendation, here is why. I am 69 years old, very active and so prone to injuries and age related ailments. I had major foot surgery Nov 2020, so this aggravated alignment and systemic problems. I have been prescribed several PT therapies. None have been nearly as effective as Bob's work. Besides honing in on my specific problems he identifies related posture and usage problems and solves them with a combination of holistic massages done by him and stretches/exercises I can do at home.
In combination, his approach and lessons have resulted in a substantial reduction in pain problems and kept my active life style going with greater ease and flexibility. Bob can be wordy and technical, but always with purpose and great results. If you are in my age group and active, consider doing regular visits with him. My quality of life improved much, I expect yours will to.

I am so grateful that I found Bob Sanchez. He is a true healer and is incredibly knowledgeable of the body. He is also a wonderful, caring human who takes time to understand what you're dealing with and does his best to address it from every angle. He uses a combination of hands on and massage gun for myofascial release. I highly recommend Bob and Dimensions in Health!

Bob was recommended to me by a friend, and since my regular massage person is unavailable during COVID, I thought I'd give it a try. The results were amazing. Rather than just jumping into the session, Bob had me walk and move around the room so that he could see how I was holding my body. After an initial assessment, he explained to me where I was holding tension and how that translates throughout the body (tight shoulders, tight hips, etc).
As Bob worked on key areas, I felt the benefit across all kinds of muscle groups. This is not a 'traditional' massage where you lie there and they do the work. It's active and you participate. The benefits of this kind of massage are long lasting AND Bob gives you homework. You are part of the solution. I'd highly recommend.

Bob is Amazing! If you have any structural, muscular issues I highly recommend him. It only takes him 5 to 10 minutes to figure out what is wrong with your body and he gets straight to work on you. This is not a spa like massage but more of a medical one. He talks to you throughout the body work and educates his clients on what they need to do. He is definitely one of the best body workers out there. I wish I could see him more often and have longer sessions. Very skilled and knowledgeable about the human body.

If you're a young athlete that has been looking for professional bodywork sessions THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. The man (Bob Sanchez) that works here took my $150-200 cash and performed absolutely no bodywork. He spent my whole hour explaining to me why my muscles are sore. it is pretty evident that my muscles are sore because I train and now I am seeking bodywork.
The only bodywork that was performed was a 15 minute usage of a cheap massage gun. Very disappointing to say the least. I live down the street and was really hoping to come back for more sessions. Very unprofessional. Their are plenty of other Therapist in the bay area that does soft tissue work, myofascial, y-straps, and much more. Can't believe that's how they treat people.

As a sign language interpreter (for 25 years), I rely on my arms & back to do my work. I had been without a chiropractor for over a year & my right arm (my dominant signing hand) started to get really angry with me at the lack of care I was giving my body. I made an appointment with Bob Sanchez. After two sessions, the pain in my arm, shoulder, & shoulder blade area was finally starting to go away.
Then we were able to focus on getting the rest of me to not be locked down. Bob is great! The office is comfortable & clean. It has a soothing atmosphere. I look forward to coming here to get the treatment I need to keep working.

Being a diabetic, I have special needs that most massage therapist could not accommodate. But I was fortunate to have found Robert Sanchez, who is truly a professional. Because Robert is knowledgeable of the human anatomy, he is able to detect the area of discomfort. Robert Sanchez is truly the best Massage Therapist in Silicon Valley. I am now able to sleep better which helps with my diabetes. I have increased my sessions to twice a month, and it is well worth it.

Bob is the man, Bob is more than just a physical healer, but emotional, and spiritual as well if you are willing to listen. I came in with terrible shoulder impingement and muscles tightness through my whole body that has been causing me pain for over 3 years and I am only 21. Bob has helped relieve my pain while also helping me call attention to causes and reasons for it.
I am currently still working with Bob, but the results are coming. You will feel better right after the first session, but remember this is a process. Bob is super friendly, super encouraging, and super helpful if you allow him to be. Trust me, let the man work he knows what he is talking about and doing. Every session I go to I am excited for, even though the deep muscle messages are going to hurt, I cannot help but being ecstatic to walk through the doors to that peaceful, calming environment. Bob is awesome, as well as the other workers, all are super helpful and very kind. Give this place a try and you will not regret it! -Shayne

I had shoulder surgery in December of 2016 and 5-6 months later I had compensation issue with my neck and the anterior compartment in the shoulder. I found Bob online and over 4 sessions he increased my range of motion and decreased my daily pain and discomfort more and more with each session. Bob blends a holistic approach to healing with a solid knowledge of anatomy and how the body tightens up around pain. Highly recommend Bob if you're having issue with your neck that might be keeping up at night or if you feel the physical woes of a desk job.

It was my good fortune to be referred to Bob Sanchez for massage therapy through a friend. I had just gotten over a bout of intense lower back pain that lasted for a month and kept me from lifting more than 5 lbs. I was looking for a massage therapist as a preventative measure to keep that from happening again. From the beginning of our session, I could tell that it was going to be a different experience. Bob takes the time to assess you body, listen to what is going on and inform you about the different muscles involved.
His technique is dynamic and interactive. He is constantly checking in while he is working on those trouble spots to make sure he is getting them to release. It can be painful, but necessary to work out those knots! And, even though I feel like he works really hard on me sometimes, I have never felt sore the next day! He also might have you move your arms and legs while he is working on certain muscle groups to aid in relieving the tension.
Best of all, Bob is a joy to talk to you, so along with excellent body work, you also get the benefit of intelligent conversation and a good laugh to brighten your day. It is clear Bob truly cares about his clients and enjoys what he does. I tell all my friends, "This is not your ordinary massage, this is a session to really work on what is going on in your body." And I highly recommend it!

Bob Sanchez helped me deal with my lower back pain. I was really tight and was in some pain where my daily life was affected. After a few sessions with Bob, I was able to get movement back to normal and helped me get back to my exercise routine as well. This is not your regular relaxation massage, but a strong and deep- getting in there and dealing with the knots- type massage. The relief it brings is just superb.

Bob worked on me back when I was living in San Jose. It was fantastic! I never had a massage that was more thorough. I am amazed that he can provide a therapeutic massage while also delivering results for better performance with physical activities. That's right - a sports massage that's also relaxing! He's got a really good personality too; the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness.
I enjoyed the sessions so much that I bought a gift certificate for my girlfriend on her birthday! A cool fact about Bob, he performed massages at the Olympics for the American team! Wow! Thanks so much Bob, when I'm back out in San Jose, I'll be giving you a call!

As an athlete, I appreciate a massage therapist that knows the body in depth and can work on sensitive areas to help rejuvenate specific muscle groups. Bob's strength lies in working with the symmetry of my physical strengths and weaknesses. Knowing the body so well he knows how to release tight areas that were bound-up for years all the while keeping you relaxed and moving forward with his wonderful, working personality.

I've been coming to Dimensions in Health for a little over three years now for massage therapy working mainly with Dave. His approach to massage made me feel comfortable with a form of therapy that, prior to my first massage, was uncomfortable with. I suffer from chronic back pain, mostly in my lower back, from an injury I had in high school (played football).
At first, in my mind, I imagined massage being awkward because I'm being massaged by some random person rubbing lotion all over me. After talking with a friend who had been worked on by him I decided to try it. One of the best decisions I've made aside from giving up the pain killers my doctor had been prescribing me for my back. Thanks Dave! -D

I first went to Dave with low back pain which started to shoot down my leg and give me leg numbness. It amazed me that he knew where the root of my pain was stemming from by just doing a few simple alignment checks. He encorporates several different massage techniques and stretches to alleviate and breakdown my pain. He gives a true deep tissue massage, not a fluffy froo froo type. He's very professional, funny, nice and honest.

I recently injured my lower back playing weekend sports. A mutual golfing friend recommended that I try massage therapy with Bob Sanchez. Bob has helped me get through my pain and get back to the activities I enjoy doing. Bob is a true professional. He listens carefully and he structured a straightforward program which has given me immediate and long term relief.
