OnBalance Massage Bodywork

I highly recommend Michael for deep tissue and medium pressure massage work. I have been going to see him about every three weeks for five months for ongoing neck, shoulder and upper back tightness/pain because of too much computer work combined with migraines. I absolutely love his style and how much better (and taller) I feel when I leave.

Michael has a calming, warm demeanor that immediately put me at ease the first time I met him. Now I look forward to chatting while he works on my kinks, although I’m sure a lot of his clients prefer things quiet. I just find him interesting.

As a woman, you do not have to worry around Michael. He is extremely professional and takes care to ensure that you are covered at all times.

I’ve been to a few places in the San Carlos area for massages and without a doubt Jaire is the best. He seems to know how to apply just the right amount of pressure and find those knots – he even finds ones you didn’t even know you had 🙂 He’s also a very calming person so it’s just a pleasant experience all around. He’s located in a day spa so there a nice massage table and soothing music. And another thing I like, unlike other places I’ve been to – if you feel like talking, he’s very nice to talk to, but if you want an hour of silence, he’s good with that too. But, most importantly, you can tell he’s very experienced in what he does and he takes his work seriously. Definitely recommend!

Tweaked my neck and lower back and heard from a co-worker that Jaire did some amazing stuff. Scheduled an appointment online and wow, pretty amazing what a massage can do. Tugging and pulling, Jaire relaxed a whole set of muscles and nerves I didn’t know were out of whack. Neck feels markedly better and the lower back is in great shape.

Jaire was communicative and understood what I needed focusing on, working with me to see where he could do the most help in our limited time.

I’ll definitely be back to see Jaire – if not for future aches and pains, simply just to relax. I’d recommend anyone coming here for the first time schedule to arrive early to chat with Jaire so he can understand what he can help with.

My whole family has gone to OnBalance for years for various muscle kinks, knots, soreness, stiffness, etc., and we can’t recommend Jaire and his crew highly enough. I just went back there a few days ago to have my shoulder worked on and Jaire performed his usual magic, enabling me to exercise again without pain. Check out their services, you will not be disappointed.

I’ve been going monthly to Onbalance for the last two years. Jaire is a fantastic masseuse and is always able to figure out how to help me feel completely at peace and relaxed at the end of my session. He is skilled in a lot of different kinds of massage and is always implementing new practices into the session.

Best of all, he has an inner peace that really rubs off on others when you’re around him. I highly recommend OnBalance if you’re looking to escape the high-intensity life here in Silicon Valley for a hour or two!

aire is the best messuse!
Not only does Jaire fix my back pains, he teaches stretches, maintenance needed after the message.
Jaire is also a yoga pro, identifying what we all should know that yoga is good for our back and our backs.
I feel Jaire really cares, listens, and follows up with call to ensure I am ok day after.

Jaire is one of a kind, all around nice guy, excellent pro!

Great massage. Jaire got the knots out of my neck, and loosened up my shoulders from slumping over a computer all day. His firm and smooth slow massage took care of all of it. Sometimes masseuses can quickly run through the massage and it ends up being more painful than relaxing. Not Jaire. The 90 minutes was just perfect. Signed up for the group package, and just signed up online for my next. The location is great. In a salon with my manicurist whom I’ve been with for 25 years. She’s great too!

It’s been almost a year since I last needed the expert skills of Teodora at OnBalance, but this time I needed fixing in a hurry. We had a trip to Disneyland planned!

Both my knee and my shoulder weren’t working – and that just wouldn’t do. I was very lucky that she was available for 3 visits in the week before we left – and it worked! She worked a lot on my IT Band (?) which can be very painful (as I discovered in physical therapy) but happily, it wasn’t with Teodora. I did still need to ice after a long day of running across both parks – but I’m old enough to need need that anyhow 🙁

With Teodora’s help, I was able to keep up with my companions and really enjoy myself for 3 incredible days. Not sure what I would have done without her and OnBalance.

Excellent massage! I’d say by far the best around the peninsula. Jaire has what i call the magic touch: he can find all the knots and can apply just the right pressure, all while helping my entire body relax. He is super nice also and the spa is clean, smells great and is very airy

I found OnBalance massage by chance because I couldn’t remember the name of the place I went for my last massage. Fortunately, I was able to book an appointment on-line for the next afternoon (Wednesday), and the “New Client” discount was a great enticement.

I met Michael when I arrived, and when he had me fill out their form, I realized this place was really different. They wanted me to FEEL BETTER, not just give me the usual deep tissue massage I’ve had elsewhere. We discussed my problem areas (neck/shoulders) and the possible causes. Then Michael went to work. He would check with me on the pressure intensity, gave me some tips and ideas to alleviate future pain, and even better, I didn’t feel like a greased pig at the end of the session. Also, I noted on the form that I bruise easily, and Michael picked up on that right away. For the first time ever, no bruises the day after the massage!

On Balance is now my new first choice for a massage, and they’ll be seeing me again!

If you’re looking for the “spa” experience (milk bath, massage, facial, mani/pedi, whirlpool, steam/sauna), please go to a day spa. This is a small business with one massage room, and they really concentrate on YOU feeling better.

I came to see Jaire due to my neck and back injuries from a car accident. Hands down the best massage therapist I’ve ever been to — and I’ve been to quite a lot due to having a long history of neck and back injuries in the past. After 2 sessions with Jaire, the uncomfortable symptoms of my injuries went away and I’m so happy I came here to get treated. Jaire is very attentive, respectful, and makes sure that he doesn’t rush through with his clients — making sure all needs are met.
