Psoas Massage + Bodywork is a team of talented, experienced and well-educated bodyworkers, committed to the highest quality of treatment. Founded in 2003, Psoas was born out of a desire to aid athletes and people in pain, and to provide the best bodywork available from every member of the Psoas team.
As a child who loved all things sport, Jenny was first introduced to massage via injury while competing at gymnastics & state level diving. But as she grew older and took on surfing, cycling, and distance running, her appreciation for bodywork developed into something far greater-a way of life. The more Jenny came to embrace massage, however, the more she realized what a challenge it could be to find all her desired techniques and benefits under one roof.This was 2000, the year she decided to become a massage therapist.
Jason, often known as the "massage guru" at Psoas, began his journey with massage in 1997 at the prestigious National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, California. He immediately gravitated towards learning about more challenging clinical situations and was soon asked to mentor with one of his instructors, Erik Beavers.
We create the right massage for your goals using a range of techniques and our extensive knowledge of the human body. Psoas provides a new and different approach to bodywork. The foundation of each treatment or massage program is communication with our clients - we want to know why you seek massage, what are your preferences?

In a big metropolitan city, you'd think it would be easy to find a good massage therapist. There's definitely no shortage of options in San Francisco. But I thought the search was hopeless after countless tries, until I came across Psoas Massage + Bodywork. I should preface this by stating I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy and perhaps have high expectations.
Even still, Psoas Massage + Bodywork opened my eyes to a higher quality of care both from a client and clinical perspective. What stands out most is their professionalism, communication and cleanliness. The staff took great care of me, took time to listen to my pain story, and specifically addressed both what I thought needed work, as well as what they perceived to be the issue.
Aren't you tired of massage therapists working the whole body despite wanting focused work on one area? PSOAS Massage + Bodywork is a place I will confidently send my patients, friends and family alike.

I suffered a lower back injury a few weeks ago that left me barely able to walk. Since my regular doctor didn't have anything to recommend aside from pain killers and rest I decided to try my luck with massage therapy and chiropractic treatment. I chose Psoas because they seemed like a full service clinic and I have not been disappointed in the slightest.
First I got a sports massage from Marc and that loosened me up. Then a few days later I got my first chiropractic adjustment from Katherine. She recommended I get trigger point massage from Robyn and after subsequent session from the two of them my back was loosened up enough to enable to me to enjoy my former range of motion. Rest helped alot, but I don't think I'd be enjoying my current quality of life without their help.
The process took about 3 weeks, but they've now set me on a path to better health. I really appreciated the synergy between them and the way I had a consistent file where they could compare notes and strategies to arrive at the optimum treatment. I've got a few more appointments with them, and I'm looking forward to each one.

Derek is such a competent and knowledgeable therapeutic bodyworker that he was able to relieve my lower back pain AND heal the remnants of my frozen shoulder in one session. A number of weeks later, the pain returned in my shoulder and we agreed that stress was the source of my reoccurring muscular tension, which was causing more pain. Derek was willing to keep working on me, but recommended that I wait to schedule my next appointment, until I got my stress under control.
I appreciated that. I went back to him once the stress lifted and he healed my body again. I've not had any pain since. I try to get back on a monthly basis so that I can maintain optimal body strength and it's working out well for me. As some reviews have mentioned, it can be an expensive proposition, but when you are in pain and don't have your health, I've discovered that the therapy is worth the money. I highly recommend this business. Meg

Psoas therapists specialize in so many types of healing massage. If you have injuries, or participate in sport that's rough on your body at times, a regular regimine can keep you in top shape. Your insurance may cover costs too. Only con is that if a therapist you like leaves Psoas, they are contractually required not to see you.

I was so impressed with my first two sessions at Psoas. They clearly know what they are doing and are incredibly thoughtful in their approach. I felt immediate progress with tightness I have been experiencing following a running injury and look forward to going back to stay tuned up. I had no idea how much massage therapist could know about the body and the intricate ways in which they can resolve issues.

I had an awesome session at Psoas with Scott! I am a competitive runner, and I really felt like I was in good hands with him- He's definitely very professional and knowledgeable with athletes. The space is also very welcoming, and the reception staff were incredibly kind and helpful! I am so happy to have found my new go-to massage place!

So I thought long and hard about this review. A - I felt the treatment was good, not proper physiotherapists, but somewhere between massage to physio level. Expensive, they try up-selling you into a massage package, but worth a couple of visits when traditional massage doesn't really work out a muscle pain. B - the way they handled a request to move an appointment was a little ridiculous.
The Friday during the Paradise Fires when all of San Francisco was advised to stay indoors and schools were shut down at the last minute due to purple air quality, their response was - "can you bring your kids to the center so you don't miss your massage appointment? Otherwise we'll charge you the full amount since you missed the 24hr cancellation window" - this tells you all you need to know about how customer focused they really are.
I had to get onto 3 repeated calls, explaining the situation like as if I was getting grilled by a detective, repeatedly tell them that it was unfair to get charged the full amount when it was a natural disaster and the situation was out of my control, eventually to get charged half the bill. There literally have more concern for their own than for their clients. If you're in need of this type of therapy, there are plenty of other places in the city that are far more customer centric.

Rose was great! She knew exactly how to fix my pain issues and was very helpful. I walked out in much better condition and would definitely schedule a massage with her again. I must add, I've visited many massage businesses and so far I can say Psoas Massage + Bodywork has been the best. I appreciate that all Psoas Massage + Bodywork therapists are knowledgeable, professional and know I can always get an awesome therapeutic massage.
