What Our Customers Are Saying

I came to Roger in a state of desperation. I've had a severely tense neck and shoulder area for years now. The night before I came to see Roger, I slept wrong and could barely move my neck in the morning. I couldn't even look into my blind spot when I drove myself to my emergency massage appointment later that same day. Roger was very personable and friendly, which put me at ease straight away. He began by opening up my chest area, explaining that unless we relaxed this part of the body first, my neck and shoulder muscles would take longer to open up. He proceeded to work areas that no other massage therapist has ever touched before. I don't think they had Roger's anatomical knowledge. By the time Roger got to my neck, he was surprised by how bad the injury was. But he took his time, assuring me that he wouldn't let me leave until we had made significant progress. He applied a good deal of pressure throughout the massage, which is exactly what I wanted. He worked harder than any massage therapist I've gone to see in the past. I left the appointment feeling so much better than when I first came to see Roger! I could look into my blind spot when I drove myself back home. I could move my neck (for the most part) from side to side. I still need more work because my neck injury was years in the making, and I've already decided that Roger is the only massage therapist I can trust for the job! I can't recommend him enough!

Roger is by far one of the best massage therapists in our community.  He has a very specialized technique, this is not your average relaxation massage.  Roger has in depth knowledge with muscle tension, deep tissue and sports massage.  He is excellent and highly trained.   I would recommend to anyone suffering from muscle stiffness, knots, headaches etc.  Rogers workspace is relaxing, great location and he is very responsive when making appointments.

Roger’s massage is exactly the medicinal-style massage I was looking for, since I have back issues (scoliosis) and not every massage works for me. Roger knows anatomy, muscles, and nerves so well, that every laser-focus massage move releases tension and removes those tight knots you have in your body from everyday activities, health conditions, sport, injuries. This massage feels like a combination of acupuncture, foam roll, and chiropractor!:)

Roger was thorough and reassuring the entire session. Being new to massage he was sensitive to my needs and put me at ease. I had a lot of work needed on my upper body and he was able to take away the pain and discomfort I had been experiencing for a long time. I would definitely recommend him and will be going back for more sessions.

Roger did a great job! My muscles haven't felt this good in so long! Will definitely book with him again!

Kristi Kohnke

Roger has found and fixed every knot and bit of muscle tightness every time I have got a massage, which is about 8-10 times in the last 4 years by my memory. He is 100% effective.

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!
