Honest Bodywork, San Diego CA

I’ve visited Honest Bodywork twice already and had an amazing experience with Kat that rearranged my atoms! Her guidance throughout the process as a beginner was comforting and much appreciated.

I’ve had great massages before, but Kat’s friendly approach and communication in educating me about my body and its connection to her ensuing therapies went beyond my expectations.

My wife has been coming here for a while now and their super healing sorcery has made the difference in both of our hectic lives.

I had a wonderful prenatal bodywork session with Thavy yesterday. She pinpointed all my tight spots and had effective techniques in working through them. I felt so much better after the massage and my boyfriend commented last night that my back felt much more open than normal. Definitely recommend!

I have had a great experience at Honest Bodywork. I came in looking for someone who could help me figure out how to relieve and prevent long term ankle pain I have been dealing with. Nick has been a lifesaver! He really listened to what I wanted out of the massage and over a few sessions, we have been able to figure out what works best. After every massage, I have left with less pain, and just a more functional body and the results get better with every session. It has been a huge help in managing pain. The studio also just has a great, peaceful vibe. I 100% recommend

Ben has been helping me with some long overdue bodywork, its been a good experience. My ongoing aches and pains from weight lifting have been minimized!

I had the best experience with Ben, I was having horrible lower back spasms and am a night shift nurse and needed to go to work that night and be able to lift and move patients, he was able to give me major relief and a little more mobility in just an hour. He also explained what he felt my body was doing as the massage went on and gave me tips and ways that I could prevent and fix some of the issues I was having. I will definitely be coming back to him very frequently.

Dru and his team are great! I was having hip pain so I made an initial appointment with Dru and it felt better after just one session. Now I've been seeing Nick every few weeks and he's awesome!

I highly recommend Honest Bodywork! Ben has been so wonderful in addressing my pain. He has been able to pinpoint the areas that I need the most treatment and provide a thorough deep tissue massage. Not only is he great at what he does but he is also patient, kind, and really listens. Can't recommend him enough!

I’ve been to Honest Bodywork a few times now, and can’t recommend this studio enough. This is not your typical massage studio. This is where people can come to receive competent help with whatever physical challenge they’re working through—whether it’s mobility, tight muscles, back spasms, tension headaches, postural weakness, you name it. Thavy in particular has been great! Don’t let her petite size fool you because she is tough! She’s very familiar with how each muscle and joint works together in the body, and she constantly checks in throughout the session to ensure we’re working in the right direction. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience on my first session. The personnel was very nice and willing to explain everything (recommendations after the massage, why they were given the massage in a certain way, etc). The deep tissue massage was great and really helped. I end up getting the bonus for 5 sessions as I really liked the massage received by Eric!

I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! Thavy did a fantastic job and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a bodywork professional that can take miles off their body.

From the moment I walked into honest body work, it was pure zen. The intake process was painless and everything was handled through the internet before I arrived. The staff were professional and courteous, and Eric did a wonderful job working around my injury and giving me just enough pressure during my massage. He was open to working with me and listening to what I had to say, and I was able to request specific styles of massage and modalities that he was happy to oblige. I highly recommend this business and if Eric happens to be your masseuse know that you are in good hands.

Dr. Dru took great care of the issue that I went in for. My first time there and I felt very heard and understood by a fellow athlete. Using his years of experience and techniques I was feeling great after one 90 min session. I will be looking to keep Dr Dru in regular routine for maintaining my body.

I had several sessions with Eric and each time he made me feel comfortable, listened attentively, and responded to the wants/needs I described during the session. He has a warm and welcoming presence and I felt great relief in the tense areas he worked on after my sessions. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I've been suffering with low back pain and sciatica for several weeks now and decided to try this place after having minimal results from extensive physical therapy and other massages. I had my first session with Bryant and it was so much more effective and productive than anything else I've done so far. He actually made me cry (not sure if it was from joy or pain) but I finally feel like my symptoms are improving. I will be back for sure.

I've been having a really hard time, finding a good body worker since moving here, I put out a Facebook post and a couple of people recommended this place, I'm so glad I gave them a shot! Bryant is excellent at locating the areas that really needed help and working them out. I am looking forward to my next appointment with him!

I have visited Bryant twice and am due to see him again in 12 days. I have been dealing with a really annoying hip injury which has prevented me from surfing in the last 6 months. At this point, I am leaning towards the idea that the pain I have is due to overuse and the accumulation of micro lesions in my muscle, as no doctor has been able to understand why I am in pain and all my scans are normal. Bryant’s work has been able to get me feeling better for the first time in months. I have been doing a lot of training to strengthen muscles around my core and hip and have a lot of built up tensions, I wish I had done something like this time ago.

Really enjoyed my massage with Bryant! He has an intuitive sense of where your muscle tension is and provides a relaxing, effective massage.

Exceeded my expectations by a long shot. I’ve dealt with pain from a shoulder injury I sustained back in high school. Thavy took her time to understand my injury and did an amazing job relieving years of pain. I never heard of body work before but it’s something I will definitely integrate this practice into my self care routine & I’ll definitely be sending my friends to Thavy. Thank you for all your help!

Eric is a phenomenal massage therapist. Listens incredibly well and is attentive to detail. Has really helped me with neck and upper back pain.

Thavy is a miracle worker and a joy to spend an hour with. I look forward to our sessions more than anything else I do! She’s already helped me overcome so much persistent tension and she’s helping me fix my awful posture. Thank you, Thavy
