Client Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying

It was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. I was nervous because it was my first deep tissue massage but the whole experience felt very easeful and I can’t wait to get another massage!

As reported by earlier reviewers: this is the easiest website/quickest route to bodywork I've found so far in the area. It's also, as advertised, very much on the structural adjustment end of the massage spectrum, rather than the dip-spacesuit-in-delicious end, so plan accordingly. It's easy to get to and clean and I might go again... if I can negotiate a treatment plan/approach to fit my particular body.
Professional and prompt

Mr Ramon healed my long time injury. He is a true professional and one of the rare people who knows what he is doing.
It’s not what my body needed

Great massage!
First time here and can’t wait for my next session. Exactly what I needed for my strained neck from overuse in climbing. I experienced very clear communication for the online appointment setup and pre appointment instructions emailed to me so I knew what to expect. Facility appeared very clean, safe and professional. Albeit, I was in excruciating pain when I arrived so I wasn’t in the best mood but was welcomed in by kindness, compassion and understanding by Tanya early on a Sunday morning.

Fantastic - very easy to find and good set up. Tanya is extraordinary.
Nothing special about the location. The website is good, signing up for a time / person was easy.

Really professional, knowledgeable, and only a couple minutes of tough-to-tolerate pain (which I knew I was getting into—and expected to have to endure more pain than I did for the amount of relief I got).

I really appreciated that he didn't stop when it hurt! That means that my body really needed the work done - the entire rest of the day I felt taller and more connected to my body, even my partner noticed that I felt more at ease in my skin :) Thank you, Alex! See you next month!

by Kelly on Apr 15

I've had chronic neck/back pain for the better part of 5 years and I have felt noticably better since I started seeing Alex regularly. Granted, this is not a "feel good" massage, it hurts (as is normally the case with true deep tissue massage), but it's 100% worth it for the lasting affects!

Adam did so much better at interpreting my attempted summary of my physical state than I was doing at summing up. His approach made a great deal of sense and I could see working with him further, though we would have to change some things because the recovery time this round took too long. Genius concept, but I would need to break the amount of progress we're hoping for over a number of treatments, probably.

Adam is a remarkable massage therapist. I am so grateful to have found him, If I could give him 10 stars I would! He has a very diverse toolkit and whether I'm dealing with a chronic pain from years as an athlete or simply need a relaxing Zen like experience I can trust it will be nothing short of amazing! I feel immediate and noticeable results after each session. The space he works from is great tranquil and private. He's respectful, kind, professional and his touch is unmatched. I've seen dozens of therapist over the years, he's the best.

Adam was extremely professional and his space provides a comfortable place to fully relax. And most importantly my back tightness and spasms are no longer an issue after a few sessions and advice from him on how to better take care of it.

I really appreciated Ramon’s thoughtfulness and work. I liked that he worked his way into a deep tissue massage by warming up my muscles first and then finding the specific areas that needed more work. He addressed my questions and concerns, and shared his holistic approach. Would gladly come back for another massage from Ramon!

My many thanks for a very professional job. Tanya did excellent work at dealing with the tendinitis in my hand. Feels way better.

by Liane on Mar 09

As an avid climber, I’m looking for a massage therapist that can deal with very tight muscles that need deep conditioning on a regular basis. My upper body is always tight. This time around, my neck was in so much pain, I was unable to sleep through the night and taking Tylenols to control the pain regularly to get through the day just keeping my head up! After seeing Tanya for an intense 1-hour massage, I felt she hit the right spots, with the right amount of pressure (painful but not unbearable) to help start the healing process. She focused on my problem areas, and could feel where I needed more help. In all honesty, she focused on areas of my upper back and lats that I have never experienced a masseuse working on quite like she did. I followed her directions and hydrated for 24 hrs afterwards so that the soreness was minimal (almost nonexistent) in the following days. She was very professional, effective, kind, and communicative. Next time, I’ll go for a longer session! It’s a recurring issue I have as I continue climbing (and working on a computer, also driving long hours) and I’m hoping this can be my solution as another tool to keep me climbing regularly and continuing to level up in my sport.

by Julia on Mar 06

Tanya is incredibly talented, kind, and insightful. She understands the body so well and knows where to focus to get rid of any specific aches and pains. I knew Tanya from the famed Watercourse Way and tracked her down in the East Bay because I couldn't find anyone else nearly as skilled or lovely as she is. Thank you, Tanya!!

I found Tanya to be personable and professional. She has the strength and the technique to get to places that other "hand's on" practitioners have only affected superficially. I let her do her thing but I would say she is open to communication and has the ability to alter the pressure without going too easy. I will definitely be seeing her again.

This is not a place for you to listen to zen music with essential oil diffuser, you take a nap and someone smoothly, lightly massage you. This is definitely a place for you to get those sore muscle knots out. It's very painful but you feel the immediate relief.

Great COVID measures, only thing that could be better would be proof of vaccination. Very no frills ambience - which is just fine, I'm here to deal with an injury and no amount of crystals is going to make that experience easier. The walls are thin so you'll hear other clients walk in while you're on the table but that's fine - it's a welcome distraction from the intensity of the massage you'll be getting. Easy online booking. In person experience matched what I expected from the website and reviews.

Adam was great and really professional. I came in with a back injury that wouldn´t even allow me to turn my neck and came out feeling much, much better. He gave a great deep tissue massage, which may be a bit strong for some, but really did the work. One thing I would like to say is that he should let the client know what is going on and when it's going to hurt so that we can take a deep breath. Other than that, it was excellent and I will definitely go back.

Excellent. Adam really gauged immediately where my upper back/ shoulder issues were and the deep tissue massage was incredibly effective. I could barely move my neck before my session and i was close to pain free afterwards.

Ramon played upbeat music with Spanish lyrics. It wasn't appropriate for a relaxing message. He also didn't ask if I was okay with it. He set the ambiance for himself--not the client. Ramon did some odd technique that applied no real pressure or effort. He did the massage he wanted instead of what was required for my specific needs. The laptop was dead do he didn't know if I'd paid. I told him that I booked online and it requires payment before booking. I even showed him the payment confirmation. He still refused to unlock the door to let me out until he called someone to ask. That made me extremely uncomfortable.

The experience was ideal for me. I'd only ever received deep tissue work in the area from hotel spas in the past. Obviously, the focus of Berkeley Deep Tissue Sports Massage is quite different than that of a Fairmont spa, which actually is a plus for me. At BDTSM, I met Adam Estrada at the facility and after a brief introduction and inquiry about problem areas, the work was underway. Adam was firm and intuitive about where to focus his attention. I appreciated that the name of the business lived up to the experience. I cannot speak for anyone else, but a session with Adam Estrada is worthy of a repeat booking the next time I'm in the area.

This business doesn't give two hoots about their customers. The first massage was great and although much time wasn't spent on the problem area - the reason I went in - I let that slide. The second massage was more like torture - I left with a lot of pain and later on swelling and bruising developed. I was in so much pain - could barely sleep comfortably at night - it took me 1 week to recover. I have requested a refund but they refuse and keep telling me to send a letter which is ridiculous.

Business response:

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I did try and work with you to resolve this. You did not try and work with me. When you had your experience you didn't like you didn't contact me to try and resolve it. You went directly to trying to get the massage charged back to your credit card. When that didn't work, you sent me angry and threatening messages. You refused to participate in our dispute resolution. Best of luck to you in your future.

The massage I was always hoping for: intense on the edge of too much, until suddenly everything felt amazing. Got out of bed the next day without pain for the first time in ages. There was no music, nothing scented that I could tell, and the room temp was comfortable. I was expecting to undress but didn't have to, which was a relief for me.

Bit of an awkward situation where I was just told to go into the massage room and had the door closed behind me with me and Ramon in the room. No intro or anything.

But, I have to remove one star, and hesitate returning because the laundry detergent that's used to launder the linens used for the table is EXTREMELY pungent to me, and I'm not even the most odor-sensitive person I know. It gives me a headache while I'm there and I can still smell it on my skin and clothes long after I leave.

Best massage I have ever had. Knots that have been present in my back for years were gone by the end of the massage. My body felt euphoric.

I have a frozen shoulder and the work Alex did allowed me to have more mobility in that area, right after the session.

Berkeley Deep Sports Massage is a wonderful place to get a serious massage. Flexible hours and a great price.

Each massage with Alex just keeps getting better! He fixes my neck and my shoulders every time I break myself. He also lets me DJ, which I really appreciate. Alex is great at what he does and I appreciate the interesting conversation, too! All around great experience.

The studio is very peaceful and tidy. Parking is very easy in this area and the signage on the side of building was clear, so you can easily get to the back entrance.

Alex was prepared and waiting for me when I arrived early, and we got started before my official appointment time. Alex listened thoughtfully to my description of ailments (back trouble) and then went to work. During the process he providing very clear instructions regarding the interactive parts of the massage (holding slight resistance and then relaxing on cue). I felt immediate relief after the massage, and one week later I'm still feeling the benefits of the session.

Alex is very skilled. He was able to identify the real cause of the pain I was feeling and apply the correct technique to decrease it.

I went to see Alex with lower back pain after injury while performing squats. I shared my problem area with Alex and he spent a good amount of time working on my back. I received a full body massage and I must say that it hurt but my body immediately felt better once the massage was over. I will definitely be going back to Alex and will happily recommend his services to anyone!

While the entrance is could be better labeled (specifically the door, the signs leading to the door were fine), the area inside was very nice and open.

Business response:

Thanks for the feedback. I've added some more signs to make it easier for people.

we did not have a massage so this does not apply. For some reason the stars went through anyway but I did not rate a massage because we received coaching.

He is EXACTLY what he purports himself to be. Skilled and helpful if you use your body and it gets sore and tight and jacked in general, he can help you be the athlete you want to be. Not too too painful either. Fantastic!

Most deep tissue massages say they're "deep tissue" but they never get as deep into the tissue as I need for my active lifestyle. Alex did a great job doing exactly what I needed! My muscles always are knotted and tight from lifting and Crossfit and I felt so much better after I left. Will def go back!

My neck and shoulders were hurting so much I could not fully turn my head. In a short session that all got take care of. I walked out feeling better than I had before I hurt myself. I'm not sure how he did it, but I know I will go back.
