Reflexology Center

Went here after dinner. My back had been hurting since I had an epidural. I was hoping that a chair back massage would help. It was a little rough at first but I have had no back pain since. Good prices too. I can’t wait to go back and have another one.

Really great place! Every masseuse is on point. Pressure is always the right amount (not too soft not too hard). Staff is friendly. They will also try to get you a massage quickly if you’re a walk in. :) Décor can use some work, but your eyes are closed most of the time so no biggie. Overall, awesome in my book!

Very clean had a few workers, my boyfriend had a chair massage and he wasn’t too pleased. I had a lady massage my upper back and shoulders it hurt a little bit but my back feels better. Wish my babe would’ve enjoyed it but the person massaging him was kinda like rushing threw his massage

I’ve been going here regularly for a year now. Seriously the best massages. All the therapists are excellent. Love this place!

I have been looking for place for reflexology and this place is very good. Sure the atmosphere is not good, a small shop in the mall with many shoppers walking by. But there foot massage is awesome! One hour for $ 36. They soak your feet in warm water before starting, massage your feet using reflexology, and use hot towels to clean your feet and legs at the end. Many other places massage your feet for about 20 minutes then massage your arms, neck, and back. If I wanted a body massage I would have ask for one. When I ask for a 1 hour foot massage I expect my feet to be massaged for an hour. I guess that is asking too much. That is why I like this place, ask for a foot massage and get a foot massage. They do a really good pushing on all the pressure points. If i lived near Concord I would go there every week!

This was an amazing find that i finally found a masseuse who knows how to work with neck stiffness and lower back pain. This is no temporary relief either. the pains and ache improved and diminished as i had made it a point to receive his healing on a weekly basis. John knows his pressure points and is able to dig deep with finesse into my aching tissues that nobody ever was capable of. However, let the truth be known not everyone can take the deep tissue manipulation I prefer. I used to do a 2 hour session with a mixture of chair, bed and feet massage. Since then i have progressed to half an hour periodially for maintenance n stress relief. This type of mad skills are very rare to come by so tip well. This place is reasonable in price. Get the package discount if you see yourself as a long term client.
However, these transplant masseus are not known to be communicative in nature for English is their second language. Be sure to communicate in advance that you prefer a softer massage. Some muscle and ache takes serious stretching before it relaxes so the no pain no gain saying is true in some sense. Dont forget to breath and relax through the aching parts. By the way the tallest guy is really good too.

I’m a sucker for Chinese massages they really make it hurt
As for Kevin here he’s very good

They can be a bit rough, but perfect for me. If you don’t like to stiff of a massage be sure to let them know to lighten up. After a chair massage they adjust your neck. I’ve been here 3 times and 2 times they did it. I just went with it, next time I’ll be sure to stop them. Great value for the money.

Suggestions to this business:
Let your new customers know if we should explain how we want the massage instead of just seating us first.
I brought my parents here today and my mom left feeling fine but my dad complained about his back. The guy who gave him a massage was being too harsh. A lady who works there explained we should have let them know how we wanted a massage. Who knew. I didn’t. Needless to say, they’re okay. Will give them a try again because they weren’t exactly rude.

At the time of this review, I’m currently the Duke of Reflexology. I highlight this accomplishment to point out my stupidity and to demonstrate that I’ve given Reflexology ample opportunities to demonstrate proper technique. My generosity has been paid back with bruising, knots and ignored request.
The massages provided by Reflexology are exclusively deep tissue consisting of elbows pushing down on the body. I looooove this style of massage and consider it the best method for removing trouble spots. Deep tissue is probably the most painful method of massage, but when done correctly it can be pleasurable at the same time.
Reflexology doesn’t do it right. I really hate to invest much time into bad experiences so I’ll go straight to the point. The masseur and masseuse operate on a template and don’t vary from it. When I inform them that I only need my neck and shoulders the request was ignored and a full back massage was given. In addition painful practices are conducted with no clear understanding of their intent or effect on the individual. For example, at the end of every massage the masseur or masseuse will slap and grab your skin. The practice is supposed to stimulate blood circulation, but at Reflexology it comes across as letting out frustration. The slapping is done really hard. On two occasion I had to stop them, the action felt malicious instead of therapeutic (the broken vessel on my back later confirmed my suspicion).
The people here are not properly trained and I do not recommend their services.

We found ourselves in the Sunvalley Mall which is like another world when you live close to Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco. The food court is subpar and the stores cater to a younger Contra Costa County audience but this mini massage center is an oasis.
I had an hour-​long foot reflexology treatment for a reasonable price and my partner had a full-​body massage. I liked my experience better but she did admit it wasn’t bad for being «at a mall.»

So my cousin and I decided to get massages here just as a fun little thing to do and boy do I wish I hadn’t! They not only slap their hands down on your back, but they bring the tension up from your shoulders to your head and put the pressure there and it STAYS! So, needless to say I have had a sever headache for the past three days and actually had to go to my chiropractor to get it fixed! So good luck

I’m currently’ on vacation and decided to go and get a 30 minutes foot massage here and well at the end of the massage the guy pulled back on the left little toe and when I went to stand up after putting my socks on I felt immediate pain. I told the worker and of course he didn’t speak any English and the female worker came over and I told her I had severe pain and she stated, Your fine! Well I’m not fine at all and over the course of 4 hours after the massage my pain only got worse and it started swelling and turning bluish in color. I decided to go to Kaiser to get it evaluated at the ER, Well I had x-​rays of my toe and the results are in; a severe sprain and a possible hairline fracture to my left little toe. I’m in a lot of pain and having difficulty with walking. Now I have to wear a walking boot with my toe splinted to the toe next to it. This is horrible to be happening while I’m on vacation. I would caution anyone that goes to this place to have any services done because you don’t want to end like ME! My co-​payment for the ER is 250.00 and I will be sending that to them for the damages!

These guys get into me knots really well! Also, pretty cheap prices. This is a great place for a quickie massage especially if you like firm pressure.

Your feet and legs will never be the same. Very clean and professional. The service was great and the price you cannot beat.

I’ve had my share of chair and fancy massage places… and so far this one is probably the best and cheapest place you can go.
I’m the kind of person who doesn’t love the hard pressure massages, but also doesn’t like the soft kinds either. But this place you can definitely tell them what you want and they’re good at it. The person I got was David, very lucky to have him on my first experience and will probably go back again and again just for him :)
I came in today with my cousin shopping the mall looking to get some shoes for work. I walk a lot so I had to get new shoes because my feet were killing me, but then I also though.hey.might as well as a foot massage. The first thing I asked David when I came in is «IS IT GOING TO HURT?» I’ve been to other Asian types of massage places and I’ve had my back literally pressured to death. He said «OH NO, WHATEVER YOU WANT. SOFT OR MEDIUM.» So I thought.“EHH $ 12 BUCKS FOR A MASSAGE. WHY NOT.“
Boy, was that a great choice. He was perfect on my feet. Not too rough, not too soft. I walk and run a lot throughout the day and that extra 15 minutes of heaven really helped. I’m pretty sure my feet winked at me after the massage.
I also decided to get a chair massage from David. He did a great job working out all the tension on my shoulders. Yes it did hurt a for a bit, but it was all worth it now that I’m relaxing at home and making this great Unilocal for this place :) Definitely worth it to check it out. Not a spa, but will get the job done for a decent price!

I am 30 weeks pregnant and have been in a ton of pain with my back and at night, restless legs that keep me up all night. After telling my husband I thought I was about to go Mental from the pain, I decided to give this place a shot. For $ 24 bucks, couldn’t go wrong. I did the chair massage and while yes, it did hurt at the time, I guess I had a lot of tension going on in my back.
I had the BEST night sleep last night, didn’t even wake up one, not even to go to the bathroom! (Which is saying alot for a pregnant girl!)
It’s not a relaxing type situation, if that is what you are looking for, but if you want a cheap place to take the pain away, this is good!

We arrived around 7:45pm and there was a 45 min wait (goes by fast when you are in a shopping mall). I got the chair message for $ 24 for 30 min, the Mrs. took the full body message for $ 28 for 30 min. I am not sure if it was more grueling for me or the message guy, but the outcome was a welcome relief.
Park in the Macy. s /​Red Robin /​Sears parking lot and walk in through Macy. s or the restaurant its the quickest route.

4.5 stars.
I went in with a numb hand from leaning on it too much in spin and various constant aches. They whisked me to a chair and began.
I won’t lie. It hurt. The guy checked in and asked if I was ok a few times, and I said yes and it was all for the good of the body, etc. But it hurt. Lots. They really work out the tension, which is a painful experience if you have a lot of tension!
I don’t think I could have taken a full hour. I was looking forward to the end. But, it was effective.
I also like that you don’t have to take off your clothes and get all messy and oily and have to take a shower afterwards. That kind of massage has its place, but this is more of a quickie where you can stop in and then go about your day afterwards.

I’ve gone back to this place 4 – 5 times (a 20+ min drive no less) and I absolutely love it. It is certainly no fluffy spa massage, but they work HARD on your shoulders and neck in particular. All massages (by different people) there I would rate a 5 except one — the only one from a woman, and I just found her a little too ‘pointy’.
Yes, expect things to be cracked, yanked, and the ol’ knee in the back while your arms are being bent backwards. You’ll probably be sore in new places the next day, but they really work out the knots and tension.
30 minutes (for $ 24) is perfect.
