About Us
Hi! My name’s Ben, and I created Pain Solutions Bodywork to help others manage or eliminate their physical pain and dysfunctions. My work is focused on rehabilitation rather than relaxing, although I do incorporate deep tissue work for clients who prefer an integrative approach.
I work with clients to create customizable treatment plans, which means I make treatment recommendations based on what I find, and then discuss with my clients whether that is a plan they can follow through on. I want to see my clients get better, and usually that requires some kind of ongoing relationship. My goal is to get people better so they don't need to come back and recommend me to all their friends.
Some of the conditions I’ve successfully treated:
Neck pain (many types of presentations).

I’ve been going to Ben for almost 2 years now. I always walk out with my issues addressed and feeling new. Ben’s studio is very tidy and he’s always welcoming. Very highly recommend!

Ben is terrific at relieving my sciatica when it flairs up from time to time. He has a lot of knowledge about body mechanics and is always furthering his practice. I highly recommend Ben to everyone.

Knowledge is key, and he knows the source of pain! That pressure in different spots is incredible how body relates!

I've been having body work done for years, and Ben is hands down one of the best masseurs I've ever worked with. Ben has a deep understanding of body and has helped address problems in my neck, back and arms that have been with me for a long time. I'm a repeat client, and with no end in sight to the day-time desk job and the weekend athletics, I'll be seeing him for as long as he has a table in San Francisco.

I came to Been for a tremendous pain I had in my right shoulder.
He worked very carefully and patiently, checking in with me at all.times.
I felt safe, taken cared of, heard and super relaxed.
His knowledge, and wisdom was very helpful.
He explained everything to me and I left feeling very relaxed and my shoulder feels amazing.
I would definitely recommend him to any person out there seeking healing work.
Especially women, his energy is safe and I felt completely relaxed in the session.

I’m a long distance runner and have been seeing Ben for weekly sports massages. He has a cozy, beautiful private studio and a heated massage table that feels amazing for a tense body that has accumulated many miles over the week. He knows exactly how to release trouble spots (some of which I’m unaware until he discovers them) over a 90-min session that passes in the blink of an eye. I leave feeling lighter and fresher to conquer the athletic demands of the week ahead. His knowledge of human anatomy and biomechanics far exceeded my expectations. Also, Ben is highly personable and a great conversationalist, and I feel that I can be myself around him in a judgment-free zone. I've been through many massage therapists to find the right fit but, after finding Ben, I've never gone back to find another!

I booked a massage for the second time with Ben. He did it again! Saying that he did a great job on massaging me. If you are looking for a Massage Therapist Ben is the right guy for you.
What really amaze me is he knows what part of my body needs work. I really feel so light and relax after the massage. So book now!!!

I asked Ben come to my house on a friend's recommendation to help address some chronic low back pain I have.
Ben arrived on time and was very easy to converse with. He spent about 15 mins asking very specific questions about my issues until he really understood what I was dealing with and laid out a plan for how he'd like to approach the massage. During the conversation it become very clear to me that Ben has a deep, rich understanding of anatomy/physiology. As a result, he approaches his work with a thoughtfulness and consciousness that's unique in my experience.
Given our 'header' introduction, I was blown away by how intuitive his touch was. I originally expected a more clinical massage, but Ben worked from a place of such awareness and empathy! The trust with which my body responded to his touch was almost eerie, allowing me to relax the ways I needed. His touch was always perfect pressure for each knot found and the stamina/patience of his hands took out even the most stubborn ones.
A great massage on any level! Ben has a new long-term client

Ben is INCREDIBLE! I am a competitive athlete and book an appointment with Ben monthly to work on my tight calf and hamstrings. He works your muscles hard which allows this to release and open up. I am so impressed with his pressure and how my body feels and functions after getting body work by Ben. Can't recommend him enough!

I first listened to Ben explain his type of massage, as he was speaking with a possible client. For the past few months, I had been having some issues with pain in my right hip. I had used rollers, either tubes or balls, which would help ease the discomfort, but only for a couple of days. I mentioned this to Ben on my first appointment, but did not really expect that he would be able to help with this issue. He did some very focused work on that hip, which was not really 'pleasant', but with good results. After the second session with Ben, i had pain free mobility.
Each time I see him, he will ask if I have any specific issues for him to work on. Hate to be a whiner, so I say I am fine, and then he finds the areas on his own, and (often with a bit of pain mixed in), he is able to work on the specific muscles, and gets me back to comfortable mobility.
I have nothing but praise for Ben.
While Ben is not a talkative person, he is warm, and seems to remember every detail I have told him about either my body or about me.
While Ben is able to do Swedish based massage, his value to me, is his restorative massage.
I highly recommend him!
