I have been with Rick for awhile now. I try to see him once a month to relieve stress and soreness. I highly recommend Rick. He gives the most superior massage in San Diego, and I have been multiple places.

He has great package deals, and you can use your FSA. His location is very central, parking can be challenging so you'll need an extra 5-10 minutes.

This is a long overdue review! I've been a client of Rick's for about 3 years. He is professional, listens to your needs, and friendly. He has a great scheduling system and easy to book with. His treatment room is clean and the temperature is always good. He helped me get through some chronic health issues, the most recent was some kind of frozen shoulder type symptoms. I'm really grateful I found him and highly recommend his professional massage services!

Rick is one of the best not only in county of San Diego but possibly the entire state of California. His medical background attributes to his success. Book the Achtung Body massage experience and you won't be disappointed

This is probably the best massage I've ever had, and Rick will continue to be my go-to therapist from now on! I've tried out multiple places around the SD area through various Groupons, word-of-mouth, etc. - and never found a place I wanted to go back to until I came here.
Definitely worth every penny, and the specials that he offers regularly cannot be beat! If you have regular pain/knots like I do, do yourself a favor and go here!

I feel bad for leaving a review like this vice saying something in person but maybe I will do the latter when I am back in town. Regardless, I had a 120 min massage that my wife purchased for me a few weeks ago. I recently had pain in my shoulder and neck but through acupuncture, chiropractic sessions and numerous other massages the pain finally went away for the most part. Until....the massage with Rick. It's all back now and I haven't been able to move my head because of the pain in my neck for two days now. Again, I should have been more vocal about the discomfort during the session

Absolutely love Rick! I discovered him when looking for a good prenatal massage in the North Park area - He is awesome! I've been going to him for the past 2.5 years and every visit is great. I always leave refreshed and relaxed and I love how easy it is to make appointments online. He has great specials via email - sometimes up to 30-50% off! Can't beat it.

I've been coming to see Rick for at least a year, maybe longer. Rick is a very friendly, professional masseur. His studio is always very warm, clean, and inviting. It's very easy to schedule appointments online and parking (given the location) surprisingly has never been an issue. Rick is able to compensate for different levels of massage so don't be afraid he won't be able to accommodate as I've seen him go super light to almost painful deep tissue massage and Rick uses various massage techniques to ensure a unique massage every time.

I have been to massage therapists for chronic neck and back pain since an auto accident back in 2001. I have had good and bad therapists throughout the years and I was quite pleased to find Rick about 2 years ago. I have been extremely satisfied with his technique, his professionalism, and his wonderful personality. He is truly a gifted healer with hands of gold! And the music he has playing softly in the background never fails to put me in a trance like state of complete relaxation. I've even fallen asleep once or twice when getting relaxation massages :-) Tho that wouldn't happen with

It's time for my annual Achtung! Body update. I can't believe I've been coming here regularly for more than two years already.

Rick continues to be my go-to massage therapist. It's easy to schedule appointments with him online and he also encourages me to text him if I can't find an appointment soon enough so that he can let me know of cancellations. That's customer service! :)

I'm happy to report that business is booming for Rick and he's getting ready to expand his service offerings. He will be adding therapists (so it will be even easier to get an appointment

I have been going to see Rick for several months now. I enjoy going to Rick for several reasons. He is located only a few miles away from my house and I can usually schedule an appt within a week of when I check online. He offers evening and weekend times which are my only options for massages due to my work schedule. Prior to each massage he is thorough about discussing if anything has been bothering you or to follow up on an issue you may have been having. I always end up leaving my appointment feeling much more relaxed and not as a giant knot! Give Rick a try.. you won't regret it!

I've been going to Rick at Achtung Body for almost three years now and he is the best massage therapist in town. He is friendly, professional, and genuinely cares about providing a great experience.
Rick takes the time before and after the massage to talk to you about your pain/stress/anything else that is going on to provide you with a really effective massage. He is knowledgeable and responsive to any issues that are going on with your body and does great with deep tissue work as well as more relaxing massages. Rick has helped me through a lot of back and shoulder pain and talks with

Rick,
Is a very friendly, professional masseuse. I enjoyed the session. The facility was very clean and the setting was quite quaint and conducive to a relaxing massage. I recommend you check him out.

Truly the best massage therapist I have ever been to.

Kind, skilled, and effective don't begin to describe him and his services well enough.

I had issues with my shoulder and lower back. I thought a massage would help.
Indeed it did. Rick is personable and very focused on his massages. I can highly recommend them to anyone. His room is in the back of a storefront on Ray Ave. There is no sign for his business, but just walk in and head to the back. He will greet you and make you comfortable before the massage.

Two thumbs up!

Only Rick and one other massage therapist get to touch my back! I've gone to Rick for about three years. His style seems more like physical therapy (which I've had in the past) and is just as effective in loosening my persistently tight lower back. I never had a leg stretch to work the lower back from a massage therapist before, but now I won't leave without one! Rick has also been especially effective at reducing tension in my neck, which really helps preventing headaches. Professional and respectful? You bet! I tell Rick that it says "Master of Draping" somewhere on his

I just had my 2nd massage with Rick and I have to say that he is truly amazing.
There's something very artistic about his movements. He is really into what he's doing in a good, present way, not a creepy way :)
He's a nice guy, and has his massage room in a cute shop on Ray Street. There's a parking lot right around the corner.
This man is truly talented. I highly recommend him!

For providing a soothing massage and being a nice guy, this place gets 5 stars no doubt. However, I rate objectively for whatever type of business it is, from a 76 gas station to The French Laundry. 5 stars are reserved for places like The Bazaar by Jose Andres or $$$$ restaurants in Napa that change your fork after every bite.

At any rate, Rick is an awesome fellow with a lot to share. If your body aches for some reason, I wouldn't hesitate coming by here. He was gentle yet applied firmness when/where necessary. The price he charges is fair. I like how he offers water in a normal glass cup

Absolutely amazing! Rick's technique is perfect and his hands are magic. Seriously. Not only does he listen to you, but he provides feedback after your massage. Last time he gave me stretches to do for my tight neck and shoulder and they really work.

Today I saw him after being in a car accident and while I'm still a little banged up, I feel so much better than when I walked in. If you are looking for someone who can do real deep tissue work then you must try Rick. Hands down best massage in SD and the other reviews prove it! Love the new location... plenty of parking and love that
