Balboa Massage

Matt is awesome! Our company has a setup where he comes to our offices once a week and gives office chair massages. I’m on my computer all day and also do a lot of yoga so my shoulders are always super tight. He’s always able to finds those knots and knock them right out. Thanks Matt!

I’ve had massages with Matt when I used to come to this area. One of the best treatments I’ve had! Super professional, super clean, I just feel way better after!

I was having some shoulder pain that was getting worse from surfing all the time. That also caused my lower back to pretty stiff. After dealing with it for a while, I decided to seek professional therapy.
I’m so happy I found Matt. His professional demeaner and knowledge of anatomy impressed me. He recommended a sport massage session, with myofascial release. Worked wonders, after an hour session I had relief in my back and shoulder.
Continued seeing matt a couple times month, and still visit him when I have pain. Always gives me a warm welcome hes a chill guy to have a conversation with.

My 5 star ratings do not cone easy, and Matt has definetly earned it. I came to Matt looking for help for my frozen left shoulder and it was one of the best things I have ever done. He helped me get my ROM back as well getting the muscles firing again in that area. If you are an athlete or weekend warrior looking to come back from an injury, I would highly suggest seeing Matt. Besides all of his great work, he is a genuinely nice guy and a pleasure to talk with.

If you would like to have an enjoyable, relaxing experience, and would like to get a decent nights sleep from relieved back pain, then Matt’s your guy.
After injuring my back in 5^th grade, I have been dealing with constant knee problems and stress in my neck leading to TMJ because of the misalignment in my back. I have spent years seeing chiropractors and massage therapists to help alleviate the pain. After visiting Matt, and discussing my ongoing issues, he told me about his background and how he knew how to treat my exact symptoms. I figured I would give it a try!
For the first time in years, I am able to sleep consistently without pain. I go to Matt about once a month and that will be enough! I was seeing chiropractors about twice a week (because my pain would only go away for a few days). After going to Matt, I haven’t had any issues!
He cares about his patients, and really takes the time to understand their problems so that he can address them, all while relaxing you enough to make you fall asleep on the table (guilty).
Definitely recommend this guy!

I have had many massages in my lifetime and am quite picky about my massage therapists. That being said, Matt is by far one of the best! I have been receiving massage therapy for Matt for years now and even though I’ve since moved away from Newport Beach, but I still make a point to see him when I visit. His skills and attention to detail never ceases to leave me saying «ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…» He is very professional as well as knowledgeable about the body and customizes each session to whatever problem (s) I am having that day. Matt’s massage is one to leave you feeling better for more than just the hour session!

Matt is a great massage therapist. I have gone to a few different massage therapists but matts massages are by far the best I have had. He is very good at finding knots in my muscles and getting all of them out! I would defiantly recommend a massage from him and you will definitely won’t regret it!

Matt is the man! There’s nothing this guy doesn’t know about massage. And he’s a surfer and plays a lot of other sports too, which makes such a difference when it comes to massage for a sporting injury or ache — I could chat to him as one athlete to another, and he totally got how and why I was aching and then did an awesome job of easing it all.

What a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing massage. I will be back. The music selection was perfect to the rhythm of the massage.

Matt is awesome. He knows every different kind of massage technique you could ever want and some you didn’t even know you wanted. I’ve been using him for years, especially after a bad motorcycle accident a couple years ago. He works wonders.

Matt at Balboa Massage is fantastic. Both his customer service skills and his massage skills are outstanding. I highly recommend his company.
I needed eight 30 minute massages done on Valentine’s Day, and I needed them on short notice, plus I needed Matt to come out to the house we were renting to do it, and he did a great job.
He grabbed another massage therapist on his staff and came out to our beach house and set up right on the sand for us.
And when that got too warm for us he came back to the patio and set up there.
Every single one of the eight people he gave massages to LOVED them. They were so pleased and said he and Jennifer did a fantastic job. Use them for your massage needs — you won’t regret it!

Matt’s massage is by far the best I’ve had! His technique is great — totally intuitive and listens to what you need. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him! You will not be disappointed.

Matt is an awesome massage therapist! As a fellow colleague, I am very picky when choosing a therapist to work on me. Matt is very well versed in his treatment skills and knows how to customize each session, focus on my areas of concern and get amazing results! He is very respectful, calm, and most courteous. I would definitely schedule with him again! Thanks Matt for doing what you do so well!

Would give more stars if I could! Just had my first session with Matt and it was amazing, he definitely knows his stuff. On top of being extremely knowledgeable, he is a really nice guy. He showed up on time, brought fresh linens and asked logical questions regarding problem areas, recent injuries, etc. He definitely followed my lead as far as whether I wanted to chat or just relax. This was by far the best, most beneficial and therapeutic massage I’ve ever had. I liked the fact he was very well versed in things like Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi, too. I will definitely continue with Matt and have scheduled a Personal Training session with him, too.

Matt is an excellent massage therapist. He’s professional, effective and easy-​going. I am always sure to leave feeling better than i did when i walked in! I highly recommend his treatments!
