About
Trigger point work, deep tissue pressure, acupressure—these techniques demand precision and feel. After twelve years working with clients across California, I've learned that real relief comes from understanding where tension lives in your body and applying exactly the right pressure to release it. That's what I bring to every session.
I'm Ken, and I've been helping people feel better in San Diego for over a decade. Whether you're recovering from a running injury, dealing with chronic back pain from your job, or just carrying stress in your neck and shoulders, I use several modalities to find what works for you. Swedish massage for pure relaxation. Deep tissue when you need serious muscle work. Sports massage for athletes. Acupressure, trigger point, neuromuscular—I blend them based on what your body needs that day.
I'm proud to serve the LGBT community here in San Diego, and I work both in my studio and mobile throughout the area, serving San Diego and surrounding communities within a 50-mile radius. My clients often tell me they notice the difference after just one session. Lower back pain that's haunted them for years starts to ease. Neck tightness from hunching over a desk finally loosens. The body feels lighter, looser, like you can breathe again.
You can come to my studio—I keep everything clean, professional, private—or I'll bring my table to you. Either way, you'll feel the warmth of hot towels, hear calming music, and have someone who genuinely listens to where it hurts and why. Contact me whenever you're ready. I work early to late, every single day.
