Body Sculpting by Sal

I never give a review on a first visit. But now that I’ve had Sal work out my stressed out body, I will. After working all day I decided to try and get the kinks out. I have had many people massage me with little lasting relaxation. SAL HANDS DOWN. Knows what he’s doing… His quality is top teir and the environment he has in his studio is warm and welcoming. He’s defiantly worth taking an hour out of your day and letting him work out you stress. but be aware. You won’t want him to stop. Being that I am a man, I felt very comfortable and very secure. 5 stars from me.

Great massage! He had a lot of techniques I had never seen before. Super affordable pricing for repeat customers which I love and the massage was top notch. (He worked at some of the high-​end massage spas before and I could tell.) He Had just the right amount of pressure so it felt like a sports massage/​deep pressure and worked loosened up many of my «trouble areas.» Great mix of relaxing music, very clean/​professional room and easy location (right above the UPS store in Triangle Square.) Highly recommend this place.

I’ve had two massage by Sal and he is awesome. Due to my back injury, I’ve tried various therapies and modalities. It’s always great to have some who pays attention to your body and listens to the client. He is very accommodating and does whatever it takes to ensure a great experience.

Sal is hands down the best therapist in the Newport Beach area. He is trustworthy, professional, and extremely educated. I booked an outcall massage with Sal for my wife to come to our home because she was getting terrible headaches nightly. I was a little hesitant because of the weirdos out there to have them massage my wife at our home. Much less a guy therapist doing it.
It isn’t easy to find good trustworthy therapists. Sal exceeded any expectations of being professional the entire time. My wife said he was a complete gentlemen the entire time and genuinely cared about her issues. She already booked another appointment with him and she hasn’t had a headache since the massage!
Sal gets 10 stars in our book!

5 stars! Incredibly relaxing deep tissue massage. I was feeling less than great and after my hour massage and foot scrub feel completely relaxed and refreshed.

I had my first massage in a long time with Sal. It was amazing to say the least. My lifestyle is extremely active and my body shows it. Sal made sure to address all of my problem areas and gave special attention to my shoulders and back where I hold all of my tension. If you have any injuries or areas that need special attention, definitely give him s try. So much better than the generic massages at the larger chain establishments. I will be back in a few weeks.

I’ve been a hairdresser for 20 years and I’ve never really took care of myself. Well, I was sitting down after a a long day of work and as I got up I ended up pulling my back. After going to the doctors I found out that I had a bulging disc. I couldn’t walk or even sleep for 4 months. I tried everything and nothing helped. I ended up getting sal’s number from one of my clients and let me tell you that I didn’t think he could help me. After the first 3 sessions I could sleep and walk with no pain. I’ve been coming to Sal for 3 months now and I’ve never felt better. What ever he does is like magic. He helped me and he can help you.

I’ve tried over a dozen different massage therapists over the years and Sal is the best I have ever had by far. Sal will typically start a session by asking you about yourself and what is bothering you. Since I’m a repeat customer with specific needs (I’m training a TON for triathlon IRONMAN) he knows that I need running and cycling specific treatment. He has been able to improve my flexibility using Structure Integration techniques as well as help me with my IT Band causing the very common Runner’s Knee pain.
When I went to Sal I was at my wit’s end, I had been to Kaiser physical therapy and they taught me some stretches, I had been to some mainstream massage chains with mixed results and mediocre experiences. After my first 3 sessions with Sal I am no longer experiencing knee pain and am able to enjoy running again! I am now a regular customer and have nothing but positive experiences and results with Sal’s treatments.

Sal is amazing! I’ve had two deep tissue massages to work on my neck and back pain, and he has helped tremendously. After my car accident two months ago, I’ve had consistent neck pain and stiffness. He has helped with the pain and my range of motion. He will work every muscle from head to toe like no other therapist. He’s above and beyond your typical massage therapist with a passion for helping others. Don’t bother going anywhere else. Go see Sal, you’ll be happy you did!

Need a REAL massage? Please visit Sal! Today was my 2^nd treatment, and I know I will be back for more!
I appreciate how he «diagnoses» what my body needs and manipulates the soft tissue accordingly. Very skilled and professional.
Do not waste time and money getting the kushy plushy massages. You’ll feel good only during that hour on the table.
I consider what Sal does as treatment, not just a massage session. The benefits from his treatment is felt even afterwards for days.

After a knee injury that happened a few weeks ago, I had limited mobility and the activities that I could participate in were very few. After 3 – 4 sessions with Sal, I feel 100% again. Sal is really knowledgeable and I highly recommend him for any sports related injuries.

By far the best massage/​physical therapist I have ever seen. And I have seen many. Sal honestly cares about making you get better. He’s always checking up on me between sessions to asses how I’m feeling and progressing. This is not your usual relaxation massage that makes you feel good in the short term, but a truly healing one that gets your body to go back to the healthy state that it should be in. My posture and walking stance has changed dramatically to the point that my friends point it out to me often.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him when I did. Shortly after I started seeing him, I ruptured my L-​5 disk, which was a 9 mm extrusion pinching onto my sciatic nerve (while doing box jumps at crossfit). The kind of pain I experienced when this happened was like someone repeatedly slashing a knife from my gluteus down my leg. Sal used his knowledge and skills in Structural Integration to take my pain from a 10 to about a 3 in just one session, down to a 0 – 1 within a few sessions. I was skeptical at first, but a true believer now! The last time I had herniated my disk, it took about 3 – 4 months for the pain to become even bearable, and 6 months to heal. I was virtually pain free within a month. That’s incredible! And I’m still CrossFitting!
To say the least, I am extremely grateful to him, and I know this is a lasting treatment. I’ve been away in Portland for about a month now, and have not been able to see him, and still pain free! Get on it! At his current rates and talent, it won’t be long till you see this guy booked out for months.
