Services
Thank you for visiting our website and learning more about Medical Masaje (pronounced Mah-sah-hey). Felix provides a clinical/medical massage, rather than a traditional spa massage (deep tissue, Swedish, etc). His massages are meant to be effective and long-lasting rather than relaxing. Although you can schedule any type of massage first, we recommend that you start with a New Client Introductory Session, which is 120 minutes.
Felix uses a combination of many advanced massage therapy techniques including Neuromuscular Therapy and Neurokinetic Therapy. We highly suggest that you schedule an evaluation session as your initial session. In this session Felix will go over your intake form, complete a full body assessment, perform the necessary orthopedic tests, and manual muscle testing.
We highly suggest that clients buy packages in order to receive maximum healing and maximum savings. Changing the way soft tissue is shaped and functioning in the body takes time and repetition. Setting up weekly appointments is the most efficient and effective way to achieve your goals and heal quickly.
Please let us know if you are currently under any medical treatment or taking any pain medication. Second, Felix will perform an assessment to evaluate your posture and range of motion with focus on the area that you are trying to heal. Throughout the session, Felix will ask you to breathe and provide verbal feedback when you feel any pain or discomfort with the pressure applied during the treatment.
Please tell us about your condition and whether you've seen a medical doctor for this condition. We highly encourage all of our clients to visit their Primary Care Physician before starting treatment with us. This is valuable information for our practitioner to assess the best treatment in conjunction with your doctor.

I had to get a bi-lateral hip replacement and I sought Felix out because of his excellent reviews he got for his massage. I absolutely agree with why everyone raves about his work.
I got a deep massage on my hips and legs before surgery and got another massage about 4 weeks after surgery, and it made the healing process less painful and faster healing. I highly recommend Felix and his strong and skilled hands for a healing and rejuvenating massage. Thank you Felix.

You most *definitely* want to go to Medical Masaje. Felix is incredible! His knowledge of the way the body is connected is unparalleled. In addition to sorting me out whenever my muscles are overworked and causing discomfort or misalignment, Felix is able to address the specific need and help me understand how to take better care of my body. He's the realest of the real.

Don't visit Felix if you are looking for a relaxing massage, but his methods are perfect for any cases where you have painful injuries or muscle tightness that need targeted attention. I've moved out of town recently, and I am really missing his help with addressing my muscle issues from too many hours sitting at a desk.

Felix is a master at his craft. I've been to dozens of massage therapists over the course of my life and as an avid runner, I sincerely appreciate Felix's ability to identify and soothe problem muscles and regions. Every time I get a running or work related flare-up, Felix is my go to. He's the best.

Felix is an amazingly intuitive, strong and very skilled practitioner. His work is far beyond getting a massage as he has a very intricate understanding of the body and what strengthens stretches and facilitates healing. His work really helps me and my wife after our treatments with him, and a unique thing that I've never had with other kinds of bodywork, is how enduring the changes are for quite some time afterwards. And very importantly, he's a great guy, kind respectful talented and with a great sense of humor. Quite literally, you are in very good hands;)

Felix is the best massage therapist I have ever had. I moved earlier this year and am so sad because I can't find anyone who is as good as he is in my new location. It's hard to find someone with his knowledge, techniques and strength. I suffer from chronic lower back pain and slight scoliosis, so his skills and knowledge of the human body and muscle groups made for incredibly effective treatment and pain relief. His techniques are not standard massage therapy, but incredibly unique. If you're looking for pain relief, he is your guy. It's not relaxing or therapeutic. It's often uncomfortable, but

Felix is a gifted massage practitioner. He is very knowledgeable, incorporating different techniques when needed, such as neuromuscular therapy. I have returned to him half a dozen times and am never disappointed.
He is truly one of the best massage therapists I have experienced in decades of receiving massage.

Felix is amazing!! If you're looking for deep, deep tissue massage on targeted areas, look no further! Felix manages to deliver an effective but also relaxing experience. It's clear that he understands the intricacies of the human body and where to focus to make a difference.
Felix helped me get rid of chronic hip pain from carrying a toddler around. I'd tried everything - Physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, exercise but it wasn't until I went to see Felix before it started to really improve.

I am extremely glad I stumbled upon Felix through prior chiro work at The Central Body. I'm a weight lifter and baseball player, so I like to consider myself experienced when it comes to receiving massage work, as I've dealt with a spectrum of masseuses, generally all related to past sports injuries.
The first assessment (yes it really is that long) is a series of low resistance based tests based on the area you're having issues with. He reads how your body reacts during those tests, and uses that information to develop a massage strategy.
I realize what I had gone to in the past were masseuses

If you are looking for someone who really knows the anatomy, physiology and techniques to really fix your issues, you’ve found it. This isn’t relaxing massage giving you temporary relief. It is medical massage that is finding areas of dysfunction and reseting/retraining them so that proper function can be restored. I was clear going in that my hip and inguinal pain was not a quick fix and I am so happy to have found Felix to set me up for success! I left with significantly less pain, more range of motions AND relief in areas I was ignoring were dysfunctional. Specifically, I can breath

I finally found an amazing therapist!! I've been a massage therapist for over ten years, and have never really been happy with any therapist, since moving to the Bay area from NYC three years ago.
Felix Is a wonderful therapist. His intense pressure, attention to detail, strategic plan, and wealth of knowledge is a real treasure.
Being a woman, draping can be an issue, especially feeling comfortable with a male therapist. Felix is respectful, and very conscientious in this regard. Ive never felt uncomfortable with his draping.

"I can count on Felix to provide me with flexibility, balance and strength. In 30 min I walked out with pain relief from a recent left hip replacement surgery. He provides a combination of excellent assessment with muscle testing and accurate massage skills.
With certainty, I will rebook another massage to continue my surgery recovery.

I've been receiving regular treatments from Felix at Medical Masaje for over a year for tightness in my left hip. I've had limited range of motion issues which I believe are a direct result of muscle atrophy after the birth of my son and returning to work at my desk job.
Felix has been able to successfully reduce my chronic pain in my hip and leg and increased my range of motion. His knowledge of the muscle and skeletal system are amazing!!!!!
I've learned more about my body working with him. It's super important to do the simple st home exercises he recommends. I have
