Back to Balance Massage

Santa Barbara

office visits by appointment.

My goal is to help get you to improve your mobility and balance throughout your body by using a unique massage technique that is similar to physical therapy. My specialty is a combination of medical, deep tissue, sports, rolfing and myofascial massage techniques. I try my best to open up adhesions with as little pain as possible. You don’t have to use tones of pressure to get to deeper tissue.

My office is in the San Roque area of Santa Barbara just across the street from Gelson’s Market. It is very quiet with guest parking right in front of the entryway.

If you would prefer I can drive to you, but there will be an additional $10 dollar fee for that service. I highly recommend having your appointment in my office as I have a very comfortable hydraulic lift massage table and tool at the ready in my office.

I cannot say enough good things about Roger Brian. Not only were his massage skills excellent, he was very professional with superb business skills and gentle bedside manner. He was prompt in responding and was able to accommodate myself and 3 of my family members during our vacation in Santa Barbara. His technique were expertly used for each of our unique issues/needs. We all look forward to our next massage by Roger! We recommend Roger without any regrets. Only regret was getting a 60 minute and not a longer massage!

Miracle worker… I had a muscle spasm where my entire neck was locked in place and excruciatingly painful. After one session with Roger I was back to normal. Been going to him ever since for any little injuries i’ve had.

Roger is a intuitive, respectful, and talented massage therapist - his massages are different from your everyday parlor where they are ticking off the boxes of where to rub you, in that I can come to him with a problem area and he puts focus there for as long as is needed, and often ends up ringing the “root” of my discomfort somewhere I least expected it! Showing his deep knowledge of anatomy and musculature.

Roger is simply the best. He is professional. Knowledgable and really knows where to dive into your body where you don’t even know you’re hurting! I was nervous to see a massage therapist during Covid, but I feel incredibly safe. He wears his mask the entire time and the room is well sanitized. While face up, the client also wears their mask to ensure safety. He is affordable and extremely intuitive. I recommend his services!

With my work from home order, my body was really feeling the stress of sitting much more than usual. I came in and shared where I was feeling tightness and pain. Roger did a great job of addressing those areas and giving me more information on connecting muscles to roll out to help with more relief in between massages. His knowledge of massage was extensive and I learned a lot about what I can do on my own to help those tight areas. The pressure was great and I truly enjoyed my deep tissue massage. Thank you Roger!
