What Our Clients Say
"I have only been able to go two times but am very pleased with the progress we are making. Franny is an amazing massage therapist, and we are making great progress on muscle pain I have had for months. Cannot wait to go back. Cannot recommend her enough - you will not be disappointed. The location is warm and inviting, as well as very clean."

"I am so glad I found Strategic Bodywork! Karla is a godsend. She always goes above and beyond to make sure I’m comfortable and satisfied with my massage. My neck and shoulder pain has gotten so much better since I’ve starting getting massages here. I’ll be a regular here for as long as I live in Oakland!"
Nicole V.
"Really appreciated Arielle's attention to multiple issues: recovering from shoulder surgery, plus a glitch in my hip issue...i feel much more balanced and will be back for more."
Wendy S.
"Diana is intuitive and understands injury in the athletic person. I needed some rest and rejuvenation and my lesson with Diana did the trick. I will be back for much more!"
Micheal Korb.
"Juan Carlos is new to the team at Strategic and I wanted to share that I received a really attuned and helpful massage from him (and will re-book with him for sure)! His work had a skillful detailed nuance and an even-handedness about it that I really appreciated. Strategic is a place that hires quality therapists and treats them well—I love their values within the massage therapy industry."

"Karla is such an incredible massage therapist. I have chronic back pain due to scoliosis, and seeing she also has scoliosis in her bio made me think she probably knows how to properly alleviate my back pain. And she sure does! Incredibly strong, deep pressure, and hits all the parts where I feel pain or pressure. Wonderful space offering tea, lots of plants and a fish tank, and one dedicated off-street parking spot. Highly recommend this place for specialized therapists- several to choose from so I’m sure you’ll find someone that suits your needs."

"This week I brought my teenager to Haley after months of PT trying to address pain in her shoulder and knee that developed when she started rowing. In a one hour long session he figured out the problem, clearly explain the mechanics to us, worked on her muscles and taught her some stretches. She was so happy on the way home because she said it was already 50% better and now she understood the problem and was confident she could do the exercises and was looking forward to going back next week!"
Rachel Bernard-Pearl.
"Rachel, Rachel, touch of an angel. I have a recurrent neck/shoulder injury that likes to rear it’s ugly head every year or so, and it is always so challenging to find a massage therapist who knows how to release the issue. I’m so glad I found Rachel, they were super attentive and very thorough. Great listener, very strong hands, but also gentle when needed. I had a great experience and will absolutely be back!"
