Micheal Wade Massage

Micheal is awesome ! I get regular massages for your back and shoulders and my first time experience with Micheal was really good. He applied just the right amount of pressure and made me feel so relieved. His special focus on my calves and glutes was remarkable. Even scheduling was no big problem and he was able to accommodate me at the very last moment. I would definitely come back again. Thanks Mike

Great massage from Michale. Very professional, friendly guy. I highly recommend him for good massage. Clean environment, easy parking — which is not easy to find in city.
Will definitely go back!

Gorgeous service, nice atmosphere. The price is reasonable and the therapist is nice. Metro accessible which is convenient for the tourist like me, especially after all day shopping on Powell street. Very awesome!

Michael was a nice guy, however, I cannot recommend him as a masseuse. I came to him with a trapped nerve in my shoulder, a problem I’ve had on an on and off basis for a while now. I’m from the east coast and would normally see a masseuse back home who uses Chinese trigger point therapy, which has always worked for me, but being in pain and in San Francisco I decided to make a same day appointment with Michael based on his Unilocal reviews. As Michael worked on me, he displayed no knowledge of anatomy or trigger points and seemed to be «feeling in the dark» throughout the massage, asking me in an uncertain voice if «that feels good». Now writing this review one day later, I still have a trapped nerve.
If you want a soothing massage just for the sake of having a relaxing experience then Michael is fine, but if you have actual tightness or a medical problem I recommend you get a massage from a trained professional.
UPDATE: Michael generously offered me a refund. He’s definitely a good guy!

I always get a massage with Michael Wade! I think he is awesome and he does a great job! I recommend him to anyone who needs a real good massage!

I just had a fantastic customized massage by Micheal Wade and highly recommend him for his attentive and expert care, as well as the great location in hip Hayes Valley!
I came to Micheal with a list of the usual suspects… neck and shoulder tension, low back pain. along with more specific need for relief from chronic plantar fasciitis pain. Micheal is a great listener. He addressed my complaints directly with compassion and professionalism. He explained what he was going to do address my needs. Then proceeded to do so. He also educated me more on my condition and showed me what I could do on my own to help with some of my ailments. All of that combined gave me confidence with his therapy.
It’s also important to mention that, as a woman, I felt completely at ease, safe and comfortable in his presence, that of a male massage therapist.
Thanks so much, Micheal, for your healing touch. I’m looking forward to my next session with you. I now realize how essential good, professional massage is for my continued wellness.

I used Micheal Wade for a massage yesterday after hurting my self at the gym. and thanks to Micheal i feel so much better.

Michael is an amazing massage therapist!

Who puts the right amount of pressure when working the body!
Thank you!

So i found Micheal through a friend of mine who gets a body massage treatments in a regular base with Micheal .I am a hair stylist and i work a lot of hours myself with my clients and seriously what i felt when i entered Micheal‘s was incredible relaxing feeling, very soothing and once he started his massage OMG seriously i felt like i am falling asleep very peacefully and calm.
I liked his pressure he used on me that was just the right pressure after a consultation he did with me and after he asked which part of my body he should focus on.,…he is very professional and his studio very clean which very inviting for my style i am definitely going back regular y to have Micheal remove all my stress away from work and life by his magical totush.
Thank you Micheal,

I felt immediately relaxed walking into Micheal’s studio… it was warm and inviting (just like Micheal) with tranquil music and relaxing scenery playing in the background. Micheal had a very deliberate and soothing touch, varying the pressure throughout the entire massage. I was completely relaxed by the time he was done, and even almost fell asleep once or twice. He is amazing!

Micheal is a gentle soul and his warm smile puts me at ease immediately. It is important for me to relate to someone who is working my body and I definitely felt very comfortable in his presence. Micheal alternates between gentle strokes and deeper pressure to reach the layers of muscles that are tight. I felt wonderful and pampered after the massage. He lets me rest for a while and offered me towel for a shower without making feel rushed. Hayes Valley is a popular destination with many metered parking. Still I was able to find street (non-​metered) parking along Fell (@ Octavia) relatively easy. I highly recommend Micheal.

Micheal is amazingly really good at what he does. He is the kind of masseur that will make you so relaxed that you just want his massage to keep going and never stop. He is pretty good at controlling the pressure on his hands from soft to really deep touch and his house is extremely comfortable and very warm really good for his kind of massage mixed with his relaxing background music. After the massage he offers towels and water which i appreciate a lot very hospitable. So its a 5 star for him and i will be a regular costumer from now on… thanks Micheal and i don’t just give 5 stars but for him yes…

Wow, instant relief! I hurt my back and needed relief right away. I was having trouble walking, bending over, and even squatting. I have seen Mike in the past and he has always been spot on with his body work. Not only is his studio clean and comfortable, but his massage techniques are amazing. I specifically requested hot stone therapy and a concentration on my sore back. He did exactly as I requested and the result was instant relief. The hot stones were an amazing addition to his already excellent massage. When I got up, I felt no pain at all. When I walked I felt no pain at all. My back pain is reoccurring and I don’t like pills or chiropractors, so when it flairs up again, I will definitely go see Mike for hot stone therapy! I would also like to add that his online scheduling is convenient and easy to use. I love being able to pay with my credit card!

My neck and shoulders were crying out for relief after I helped meet a tight editorial deadline. Micheal let me make an appointment on short notice. As soon as I lay down I realized «I am warm and comfortable.» And from there it only got better: expert kneading, soothing strokes and purposeful handling from head to toe. At some point I must have fallen asleep and awoke to realize I was still in a bit of massage bliss. It seems I had hardly turned over when the hour of bliss ended. Next time it’s gonna be for 90 minutes!

Michael’s massage is very relaxing. I almost fell asleep several times during the session. I felt very relaxed afterwards. His studio is very nice and welcoming. His demeanor makes me feel at ease right as I entered. Highly recommended.

Michael is a great bodyworker and has helped me with various dance related injuries. He has an intuitive touch, and knows how to go between a more gentle approach and deeper body work. And he’s easy on the eyes…
