Diamond Wellness Center

Irene is simply the Best. Spot on about what the mechanics are and how to improve them.

Everything about this experience was top notch. The room was large and clean and beautiful, the practitioner was adept at their work. I walked away with better mobility in my shoulder; which was the reason for my visit. I will return and have for the work done.

My massage with James was a great experience! He provided a lot of information upfront about what his plan for the session and why, while also giving me the chance to provide input. My body felt so relaxed afterwards. I recommend checking out this wonderful clinic that also gives back to the community!

I am a physician from Lakeland who happened to be in San Fran for vacation and looked up Irene. I had been dealing with chronic feet pain for 10 years. I had seen many known experts in the musculoskeletal/kinetics field and got many different opinions. Yet I could not stand on my feet for more than a few minutes without pain. Irene diagnosed my issue with in the first few minutes and gave me a very simple exercise regimen that a week later has brought about a 80-90 % improvement.

For the first time I feel that my issue was dealt with correctly. The experience was awesome and Irene is delightful. She has kept in touch to make sure things are going good. I wish I did not have to go through 10 agonizing years for this solution. As a medical professional I can tell you that Irene is at the top of her game!

James is incredible. Every time I leave, I feel like a new person. He listens to your concerns and checks in often to make sure you're getting what you want out of the session. Irene is so incredible, kind, and courteous. You can tell that she truly loves making sure you feel great, and your comfort is always her top priority. I highly recommend this place!

I really enjoy going there for massages. It's friendly, clean and quet place. And James is just a wizard at relieving stress. Everytime I see him it feels like I went on mini-vacation. I'm more relaxed and my sleep is better

I started experiencing lower back pain and sciatica down my right leg while working from home during shelter in place. I read that Diamond Pain Relief & Wellness Center offers myofascial therapy, which I thought would be a good fit for me. I spoke with Irene over the phone and was skeptical about having a video call be our first appointment; however, it was an amazing experience.

I was sincerely impressed by how much she observed about my condition during the video chat, and my symptoms began to subside the next day. I would definitely recommend Irene and look forward to working with her in the future.

Helpful and knowledgeable. Happy I contacted. Great follow up and clear. I'd be happy to visit and see again. Helpful with herniated disk. Good business.

I've been going to Diamond Wellness for several years. I love the hot packs that help get at the aches and pains I have. Sometimes I go after a sports injury, or simply too much going on in life. I highly recommend James, he has always been my go to! Irene is the founder, and is big on community, as she gives back each month to different groups that may need a break - financially and rest wise - by having a free session. Love it.

Irene is amazing! She helped me to finally fix my shoulder, elbow and wrist pain. I started having tendinitis in 2015 and was living with pin and discomfort for awhile, tried different massage therapists, they helped a little but I had no significant improvement until I started to do research on my own and trying to fix it myself. After about 5 months of everyday self massage and exercises I had a lot of improvement, but I needed to get rig of pain completely.

Then I found Irene and she gave me right exercises after which I had very fast recovery and now I am so happy that pain is almost gone and my arm feels like a new arm! Her sessions are expensive, but totally worth it! Only one online session made a huge progress for me. I wish I would've found her earlier.

Asanda did a terrific job. I was running about 15 minutes late and I had expected it to cut into the hour session I had booked and was pleasantly surprised that they gave me an hour session anyway. I heard of them through the give-back program they had (I volunteer at the animal shelter) and have 0 regrets about booking a session. I also rock climb, so. my back is also always in need of some good massaging. Great customer service, really professional, and really good experience.

I am the founder and director of Diamond Pain Relief & Wellness Center so of course I am biased, AND. I want you to know how picky I am in who we allow to see clients and patients at our center. You can rest assured you will be treated with the utmost friendly, professional customer service along with current, effective, fast therapy methods, programs and treatment plans.

We have a 100% Happiness Guarantee because we only accept the precise clients we know we can precisely help. I'm happy to speak with you personally to see if and how we might be able to support you, your group, or your company in your pain relief, mobility improvement, and relaxation. ~ Irene

I had an incredible experience here. The atmosphere is very welcoming and calm, the personnel is friendly and professional. I felt relaxed and rejuvenated after my session. Would come again!

Professional clinical massage with James. Actually got this opportunity at a charity auction so had no idea what to expect. Deep tissue directed massage with expert touch. Great communication and approach. Was very impressed - having had many sports massages strongly recommend.

Would highly recommend Diamond Pain Relief & Wellness. I had pulled my neck on Sunday and was able to sneak in for an appointment on Monday evening. James did an incredible job identifying the issue and helping to alleviate that pain. Additionally impressive was Irene's follow up the next week to check-in after my appointment and see if I had experienced improvement. Thank you James and Irene!

This was my first visit to Diamond Wellness. I'm an improv teacher at a non-profit in San Francisco, and Diamond Wellness participates in a fantastic give-back program that gives free or discounted massages to people working in those organizations. Besides being impressed with their community work, the massage itself was extraordinary! I've only had a few massages in my life, and all of them were an hour or more.

I only had half an hour with James, and it felt like a whole hour! I only have a couple of problem areas that aren't serious, but he focused in on them and treated them with care and I walked out of there feeling great. PLEASE check this place out, they do great work and they give back!

This was my second visit to Diamond and it was as great as the first! They do a wonderful give-back program providing free massages to non-profit employees and teachers once a year and I hopped at the chance. James, my massage therapist, was attentive and responsive to my requests and even advised me on some stretches I could use at home after the session! Warm, welcoming staff and atmosphere. Thank you for your consistently wonderful work!

So helpful! I work around the corner and have always wanted to check this place out, today I finally did. I was very impressed with how nice this place is, a little deceiving from the street. I had a great half hour massage with James that really released some lower back stress I have been experiencing. They were so nice and accommodating considering I just walked in without an appointment. I would recommend visiting:

I had a wonderful experience there. The people were very friendly and inviting, the atmosphere was very zen. The massages I've gotten were very good, thorough.

I regularly received massages from Diamond after I was in a (fortunately) minor car collision. Unfortunately, I suffered neck pain through the course of the following year. I found the massages here to be effective and the practitioners to be experienced and intuitive in providing massages that were not only relaxing but greatly assisted in reducing my pain. I feel very relaxed at Diamond and always have a good experience.

I've suffered from pain in my shoulder/back area for four years and have tried various massages in the past without relief. I found Diamond Pain Relief on yelp and finally decided to give them a try and it was the best decision ever! After just one session with James I had COMPLETE relief of my symptoms. It's now been two months and I am still pain free, I am in disbelief. Thank you James and Diamond Pain Relief Center!

My boyfriend and I each had a 30min session with James on Monday - we suffered from various types of back and shoulder pains caused by traveling, heavy lifting and years of bad positioning at our desk jobs. Even though we walked in without a booking at 5pm, Irene welcomed us and got us an appointment soon after. James really sorted us out - he was very skilled and used different techniques depending on the type of pain and its location/ root.

My rehab massage was a little painful but it was worth it. The results were so good we didn't need to come back for a second session as we had originally envisioned. I warmly recommend the aptly named Diamond Pain Relief & Wellness Center.

Just had a wonderful massage from James! This is going to be my new place for relief and relaxation. James understands problem areas and works on them until they are resolved unlike a lot of other places that give you canned massage. This place is no thrills, so if you're looking for ambiance it's not for you, but if you want a real massage that delivers results it's amazing.

Irene went out of her way to see me when I injured my leg on vacation. It helped me a great deal. She did some education with me to keep up the work she started. A true life saver.thank you.

My right limb (hand, wrist, and arm) was in acute pain to point where inflammation started to ascend my upper arm. I was driving down Lombard Street, thinking of how bad I needed pain management, when suddenly I got a glimpse of the Diamond Wellness Center. I immediately made a right turn at the next light and found parking right in front of the center.

I was grateful to meet Charlie at the front desk who very kind and understanding. I had a 15 minute session with James and then I came back the next day and had a 15 minute session with Jonathan. I was very pleased with both sessions- excellent service! Each therapist has their own style of therapy, but they both got the job done. James explained to me that I may feel soreness in the morning, but it will go away.

The next day my hand felt slightly sore, but once I started moving on with my day, the soreness indeed went away and my arm felt much better. Then of course when I had my second session with Jonathan- which was AWESOME because he used heat pads to loosen the muscles- my right limb felt 10 times better! Now I can use the mouse on my computer with no problem.

I am an artist and I can draw without feeling pain or inflammation in my wrist and thumb. I am going back for a couple more sessions to make sure that any remaining discomfort (not pain) is completely removed, and I am looking forward to my next session.

I had the pleasure of coming here to celebrate some relaxation on my birthday. When I first made the phone call, Irene, was beyond nice and gave me all of the details to make sure my experience was pleasant. The building is an old house on Lombard. I was greeted and directed to the waiting room with water/tea offering. I filled out the form before my therapist, Aurora came to greet me.

She was sweet and professional. We talked about what places I'd like to focus on the most and I wasn't surprised at all during our session. She said and explained everything to me, which I like. The only thing I didn't like too much was the music that was playing. Midway through the session, the relaxing music started to get a little upbeat.

I really like therapy sounds like water, nature, etc. However, I was relaxed enough that I decided not to ask Aurora to change it up because I didn't want to interrupt my own session. It was a great experience and I will hope to go back.

The massage I received here was a life saver! I get massages regularly, as in once a week. They are great for maintenance, but this time I needed serious help and that of a professional. My entire body had ached for an entire 1.5 wks and I had already gotten 3 massages during that time. Thanks to the internet I suspected I had everything from Chronic Fatigue to Fibromalagyia.

Because I had already tried body massages I thought I needed a cranal sacrial massage. I was calling around frantically looking for a therapist to work on me, when I came across Diamond Massage & Wellness Center. The Director there was so kind when she took my call. She consulted with me over the phone to help direct me to a massage that would relieve my pain. Turns out I needed a regular massage vs. the cranal sacrial that I had diagnosed as my treatment.

I was set-up the same evening for a massage with James who was god sent. He alleviated and worked on all the areas I complained about: head, neck, shoulders, pectoral region, wrists, ankles, feet, and hips. While I felt relief after the massage, I'd like to say that I walked in there feeling groggy, achy, and only at 30% capacity, walked out feeling at 80%, and today (the morning after), I am functioning and feeling 100%!

They really seemed to care about my well being over anything else. Had I just gone to James sooner, I wouldn't have been in pain for the week I was and could have avoided going to massages that were temporary relief vs. long-term wellness solution. In addition to the massage, I also fell in love with the pillow they use. In fact, I bought one and had a great night's sleep. The support around the neck and concave for my head were perfect. I'm a fan of this place. They truly are a 'wellness' center.

I am more than satisfied with the work Irene did for my lower back. We did an extended session of focused neuromuscular stimulation the day after I strained it fairly severely. I felt much better the next day - more flexibility and range of motion, pain dropped from a 10/10 to a 2/10. I was up and running after two days. Irene showed me some very effective exercises that I continued to do at home after our focus session.

She answered every question I had and took the time to explain the neurology and physiology of the movements we did during the session. She shows genuine concern for her patients and it's clear that her priority is their health and wellness. Charlie at the front desk is also very kind and accommodating.

This place is DISHONEST with billing and has unprofessional therapists that make SEXUAL REMARKS to you. This is the first 1 star review I've given. 1) The male therapist told me he thought I was "exotic" and "sexy" after I removed my clothes for the massage. I was like. uhhh.sorry, what did you say again? The therapist then told me again "I think you're sexy." I see that another yelper wrote "Only go to this place if you want someone to grab you." Looks like I wasn't the only one with this kind of experience. 2) The owner Irene told me in advance the fee for the service, but they billed me triple that amount after the service.

I followed up with the owner and she threatened with outrageous late charges if I didn't pay immediately. 3) Also, this particular therapist did not provide a good massage. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I wouldn't even give it one star. but this the lowest star rating that I could give. Quite honestly, I'm really surprised by some of the other reviews. US yelpers have gotta watch out for each other!

This place has terrible customer service -- so bad that I was not able to get a massage, and can only review the service. My friend scheduled massages for us for a fun stress-reducer. I was on the bus headed over, 20 minutes before my appointment, when I received a call from Diamond Wellness, cancelling the massage. The therapist had thrown her back out (understandable).

But not only did they not offer us a complimentary massage, they refused to offer even a discount. The receptionist actually said "I'm willing to schedule another massage at the same rate." And the worst part is that they have a 24-hour cancellation policy -- so if I had cancelled the massage 20 minutes before the appointment, I would have had to pay the full rate. I think after I spent an hour riding around San Francisco on the bus, they could at least offer a discounted rate on the next massage. Terrible service!
