JP Massage

I’ve been here about four times and previously had a male therapist who was excellent. I never felt pressured about tipping, the pressure was appropriate, and I was able to fully relax I even fell asleep during those sessions. This time I had a different therapist for a 2 hour massage ($130), and unfortunately it was not a good experience. She used her elbows excessively and applied painful pressure despite me saying “ouch” several times. I ended up skipping the cupping portion because I was too uncomfortable. I’m still sore from how intense it was. The most upsetting part was after the massage. I tipped $10 based on my experience, and she waited outside to ask how much I tipped. When I told her, she said $35–$45 would be more reasonable and continued insisting I give more. Another staff member had to step in so I could leave because she was getting aggressive with me. I understand tipping is customary, but it should never be demanded or pressured. I’ve had good experiences here before, which makes this disappointing.

I recently had a fantastic 2-hour massage and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Tracy was the therapist who took care of me, and she was absolutely amazing! Her technique was perfect, and I left feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. I also experienced cupping for the first time and she was great during the process. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a truly great massage experience. I'll definitely be back!

My ankle was sprained recently in a soccer game. I decided to visit JP for professional treatment. JP is very knowledgable and helped me relieve the tension. Now my ankle feels much better! Also got my long overdue acupuncture done. The whole body feels really refreshing now! Highly recommended!

Pros: - Their 2-hour package at $130 includes so much more than most places—cupping, hot stone massage, and customized bodywork all included. - The leg work was absolutely phenomenal, especially the cross-body technique (e.g., working the left leg from the right side and vice versa). - They do put effort into creating a relaxing atmosphere. Cons: - The walls are paper-thin, so you can hear everything—from clients arriving to conversations in nearby rooms. Unfortunately, my neighboring client was very vocally enjoying his massage, which was quite distracting! - A disappointing part of the experience was the expectation around tipping. Despite giving an 18% tip, the staff seemed unhappy and were expecting something closer to 50%, which felt unreasonable and left a bad impression. Overall: It was a fantastic massage for the price—thanks entirely to the skill and effort of the massage therapists, not the establishment itself.

JP Massage in San Francisco is a hidden gem! I went in with persistent back pain and a web of knots that had been bothering me for a week, and I walked out feeling with relief. The massage therapist at JP has great knowledge of pressure points and good pressure for the massage that made my pain and knots disappear. Their technique was spot-on, and he tailored the session to focus on my problem areas. It was evident that he genuinely cared about addressing my concerns. I left JP Massage feeling lighter, more flexible, and completely rejuvenated. If you're in San Francisco and seeking genuine relief from pain and knots, I highly recommend JP Massage. They have a unique skillset and a dedication to their clients' well-being that sets them apart from the rest. Note- it is no-frills place, so keep that in mind- go if you want pain relief!
