Psoas Massage + Bodywork Psoas isn’t a spa. It’s a human body shop. call or email us today to book your appointment! They take massage deadly serious at Psoas.

Experts in how muscles react to strain and stress and how to keep one’s body performing at its best, our knowledgeable, experienced therapists custom design each session to meet your individual needs. Psoas Massage + Bodywork is San Francisco’s premier massage therapy clinic, consistently voted the No. 1 place for massage in the San Francisco Bay Area. Psoas (so-as) was founded in 2003 by Jennifer Lightstone and Scott Schwartz, two seasoned and talented bodyworkers who shared a vision for a different kind of massage company. Not as a spa but as a serious clinic, where clients could come to get healthier, feel better in their bodies, become better athletes, and address injuries that other methods could not seem to touch. Born from a desire to aid athletes and people in pain, Psoas also partners with traditional and alternative healthcare professionals to provide holistic and integrated care. Psoas maintains the highest standards in massage therapy, requiring therapists to have over 700 hours of education, a state license for practicing, and a minimum of 500 hours of client experience. Most of their therapists far exceed these requirements, with extensive clinical experience and thousands of practice hours on their resumes. Psoas continues to be therapist-owned and operated, ensuring that their business goals are centered on providing the most knowledgeable massage therapy available. At the heart of Psoas is a core philosophy that guides all their work—and sharply distinguishes them from other massage establishments. That philosophy is simply this: they believe that massage and bodywork are powerful tools for creating health and wellness in the body—and with expertise, one can quickly help people achieve a level of comfort and ease of movement that they might not experience otherwise. Based on this philosophy, Psoas provides a new and different approach to bodywork that their clients find both vital and refreshing.
