Chuck Worley Massage

I started going to Chuck in December 2015. After one appointment I was hooked and bought a 10-​pack massage deal from him. I was so impressed by his technique and dedication to addressing my specific needs that I even bought Christmas gift certificates for several friends. He uses great pressure and constantly checks in with me to see if I want more. He keeps a file on me and writes each and every visit feedback down in order to improve on my next session. He takes a few minutes before each session to check in with what you want to accomplish during that session, too. I work very long hours in front of a computer, and his work on my lower back, shoulders, neck, and forearms go a long way towards healing and undoing the damage that I do to these areas during the work week. I highly recommend Chuck!

I’ve been coming to Chuck for years. He is an absolute pro. In fact, I buy gift cards for my friends and family and they also love Chuck. Chuck is very detail oriented. He keeps a file on you and writes each and every visit down. He takes time at the beginning of each session to see what your body needs are and puts his therapy to work. You walk out feeling awesome. I do a lot of weight training, yoga and cycling so each session may have a different need. I usually go for the 90 min message to work the whole body and focus on specific body areas. His office has a nice ambiance and the message room is equip with the lasted and greatest tools of the trade. Besides all of the above he its just a wonderful, kind and loving person.

Chuck is a true professional in all aspects. He takes great care to listen to my requests and provides excellent therapy. I am a very active athlete and Chuck just knows how to address my issues. I tell him what type of activities I have been involved with and where I feel I need therapy and he is very responsive to my requests. He can perform any level of pressure that I request from deep tissue to gentle swedish strokes. The office is very quiet and soothing environment and I love how he uses heat pads and an adjustable warming table. After every massage he always asks for feedback and takes notes and sure enough the next time he is incorporating feedback into the session.

I was visiting my sister in Los Gatos and really needed a massage. I found Chuck on the AMTA website. He is a highly skilled muscular therapist and lovely man who was exceptionally open to my massage preferences & requests. As a woman I felt completely relaxed & comfortable even though I had needed him to work on my hip problems by focusing & massaging my groin muscles. He was clearly invested in making sure I had the best possible massage.
I particularly liked the way he worked so creatively on my neck, gluts, & low back.
I loved the Thumper MaxiPro he used & felt it helped relax my muscles more quickly so when he used his hands he could get in really deep more rapidly.
I highly recommend Chick to anyone who likes really deep massage.

Chuck is exceptional at massage. I have been a client for over two years. The things that set him apart include:
He keeps notes on likes/​dislikes, muscle injuries, etc. Because of this, his massage is always personalized.
He has great suggestions on how to keep muscles relaxed when you can’t get in to see him.
He also offers amazing specials a few times a year, allowing clients to take advantage of the opportunity to see him more often.
Chuck is able to find that perfect balance as a therapist who is useful in easing pain & stiffness yet also relaxing! I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Chuck has a calm demeanor, and he is a very caring, intuitive therapist who is knowledgeable about anatomy.

A friend gave me a gift certificate for a massage from Chuck almost 2 years ago… ever since that first massage with Chuck I’ve been going regularly! I’ve been to many MANY massage therapists in the past but now I only get massages from Chuck. I appreciate his high level of attention to detail. He listens to what I need at the beginning of each session and works on the part of my body that needs extra attention. He always sets the room just right for me: temperature of the massage table and room, heating pads, and even the music. Sometimes I like to chat about running, yoga, etc. But other times I just want to have a quick shut-​eye and Chuck will let me have my quiet time. He will also remember what my concerns are and sends me follow-​up emails with suggestions or resources. My massage sessions with Chuck always go by quickly but I always leave feeling very relaxed. He really is the best massage therapist I’ve been to and I recommend him to all my friends.

I initially went to Chuck for my lower back pain and shoulder issues close to 4 years ago, and since then I have become one of his regular client. He was highly recommended to me by a close friend who has high standards in massages. I knew I can trust her words. As result, I was pleasantly surprised that Chuck is more than what I have expect. In additional to the great and diversified skills he equipped with, what is important to me is his ability to really listening in to you and to your body. He is very good at communicate with you in what you need, and thru touches, he explores your vulnerable area and significantly alleviate the problems. And at end of each session, he will carefully document your specifics, so he continues improving and creating a special experience just for you in the coming sessions. I felt my massages with Chuck today are keep improving as his listening in to my body has made huge difference in what I have received. I particularly enjoy the different stretches & long deep strokes he delivered which is huge stress relief. I also very much enjoy the sophistication he put into his massages, the quiet and serenity room overlooking the redwoods, the so very comfortable table, the linens, right temp of the bed, heated bean bags, different size of leg bolsters, your favorite scent & music … there are just so much caring thoughts are put in so that you know he is truly caring about what you receive from him. All these special touches, and thoughtfulness are fully reflected and expressed in his healing touches, which you can feel it from your heart, as result he creates an exceptional experiences of bliss for your body and your mind.

As a yoga instructor, getting a massage once a month helps my muscles recover. I was referred to Chuck by one of my students a couple of months ago when I was complaining about my QL making me lower back very tight and sore. After just one treatment from Chuck, I couldn’t believe the relief I got. The real test was getting UP from bed the following day (I sleep on a futon which is on tatami mats on the floor), I was delighted that I was able to get out of bed without feeling any strain in my lower back. I wrote to Chuck to tell him that my back wanted to thank him. Needless to say, I think Chuck is the best in the professional massage business.

Chuck is first place I go anytime a calf/​shoulder/​hamstring/​etc start acting up. He’s great at working with you to figure out what the issue is and how to solve it. His location in Los Gatos is easy to find and he’s very responsive via email so scheduling is extremely easy. I’d recommend Chuck for any endurance athlete looking a sports massage.

You will be hard pressed to find a better masseur than Chuck. He is friendly, safe, thorough and has AMAZING hands! Want sore muscles to feel better? Want deep deep deep where others can not to seem to hit the right spot… I bet Chuck can. He has a heated table, yummy fresh flannel sheets, and heated bean bags, props and bolsters to make you comfy. most comfortable table I have ever been on. The most important thing is that Chuck really loves what he does and he is very very interested in giving you EXACTLY the type of massage you want. He is not only capable of delivering a terrific massage, he does it with humility and genuine care for your well being. I felt very comfortable and well taken care of! Bravo to Chuck, I wish you the best success, well deserved.

I was introduced to Chuck through recommendation from the bikram yoga studio I practice. I need a therapist who knows how to do sport/​deep tissue massage. Chuck’s deep tissue work is amazing. He is able to get to the deeper level of the muscles with comfortable yet extremely effectively techniques. My overworked back and shoulders feel much lighter now, and I love the stretching he did in the sessions. Chuck is passionate about his work, and is a keen learner. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in sport /​deep tissue massage.

I’m a cyclist with a troublesome IT band. I stretch and foam roll daily but couldn’t alleviate the persistent tension on my own. That’s when I decided to call Chuck.
Chuck is the first professional masseur I’ve visited, so my frame of reference is admittedly limited. That said, I couldn’t be happier with the experience and results!
Chuck took time to interview me about my areas of concern and expectations for our 90-​minute session. His down-​to-​earth, conversational approach put me at ease straightaway. During our session, I enjoyed chatting with him about triathlons, training, and analog semiconductors…
The massage itself exceeded my expectations. Chuck has strong, expert hands. He was able to work through my stiff muscles, isolate problems areas, and massage them out. He was also able to identify and address deeper trouble spots (like my fibularis) that I wasn’t previously aware of.
I left the appointment feeling very relaxed and grateful for the additional insight into my nagging ITBS. More importantly, I’ve been able to resume my training without any reoccurrence of the knee pain. It’ll be back eventually, I’m sure, but at least now I know who to see about it.

I have been a client of Chuck’s for the past five years. As an older athlete (age 70) I need every possible assist I can get to maintain my energy level.
Chuck understands as he too is an over 60 athlete so he focuses his massage to my particular sport. I have learned a lot from him specifically about pre race preparation, post race stretching and nutrition.
His massage assists my muscles to recover faster by moving the exercise induced toxins out and bringing in the new regenerative blood.
I don’t believe I could continue at this pace without Chuck’s support.
Update — recently Chuck has helped me recover from a pulled muscle in my lower back and
a really painful stiff neck. I understand that the key to healthy aging is to keep
on top of all these little aches and pains before they become chronic and
therefore limiting. For many years I was a nursing home administrator so I will
use every possible advantage to maintain maximum mobility.
Sincerely,
Betsy

I went to see Chuck for a 1 hour massage back in August, but he was not yet setup as a business on
. Now that he is setup, I am giving credit where it is due.
Overall, I thought the massage was fantastic. Honestly, it was one of the best ones I’ve had in a long time.
I have to admit, I walked out of his office feeling a bit sore from the massage, but the soreness started to subside later that evening, and by the next morning, the soreness went away altogether. I was able to complete my morning jog without a problem. I also slept very well.
Pros:
1) Introduction: 10−15min intake form, brief discussion — I like this b/​c it gave me a chance to tell Chuck what was going on with my body and what I was looking for. It also gave him a chance to get to know me, and ask any questions before we began.
2) Room: It was setup very nicely, and had a calm, serene feel to it. The massage table was also very comfortable. As a classical music lover, I could not have asked for a better music selection.
3) Massage Pressure: Spot on with the pressure, I liked how he used the 1 – 10 scale, so I could always tell him what number/​level pressure I was feeling. I appreciated how he always adjusted based on the number I gave. Any knots, adhesions, etc that were present before the massage were smoothed/​ironed out by the end of the session.
4) Communication: This is of utmost importance, in my book, to ensure that the client is getting what s/​he needs, and that the masseuse understands what s/​he should (not) do. I felt his communication was perfect, we had constant dialogue throughout the hour which allowed us both to know what was going on.
5) Timing: Although the massage was scheduled for 1 hour = 60 minutes, he actually gave me a few extra minutes so that he could finish working on the muscle group that he wanted to, without rushing through that muscle. He said that he wanted to do a thorough job so that I would like the massage and feel good after. This is something that I very much appreciated, and find extremely rare amongst most massage therapists.
Cons:
This is just me being picky. But the only slight downside would be the location, as Chuck’s office is a bit far from where I live. It is roughly a 30 min drive in good traffic. However, his location has nothing to do with the quality of service or his ability as a massage therapist, therefore I am not deducting any stars for this comment.
It is very obvious from the start that Chuck has been performing massage therapy for a long time, and he really knows his muscles, but more importantly, he knows athletes’ muscles, which is of key importance for someone like me. As a long distance runner for the past several years, it makes a huge difference to me, to be worked on by a therapist who understands athletes.
If you need a massage, whether a relaxing one, or something with deep pressure, go see Chuck, as he will take excellent care of you.

Chuck is an amazing massage therapist in that his technique is excellent, he keeps good notes on his clients about what their problem areas are, what they like and what they don’t like. He is extremely polite and always checking his notes to make sure he is giving «you» what «you» want. He is a very mindful practitioner who honestly cares about his clients and their issues. He is a good communicator and sends out wonderful reminder e-​mails about your appointments, as well as reminders to stretch during the day (if you want them).

As an El Camino Hospital Healthperks member, I saw that I could receive 50% off a first time visit for a massage with Chuck Worley. I immediately jumped at the offer and booked my appointment, which was for today. I received a 90 minute massage for $ 55 (regular price $ 110)! What a deal! Anyway, the location is directly across the street from Peet’s Coffee. It is a private parking lot for the small community of private businesses. I came into the quaint office (Suite A1) and got to fill out some initial paperwork. Chuck is super warm, gentle, professional and very respectful. He uses great techniques– some that I have never experienced before that I absolutely loved. He really has an intuitive understanding and truly knows what he is doing. Being that I am a massage junkie and have gotten TONS of massages, it is a rarity when I find a superb massage therapist like Chuck. He was very communicative and explained everything he was doing. He also appreciates feedback and is very gracious of it (as you are supposed to tell them if you like less/​more pressure anyways). I just cannot say enough great things. If you are looking for a massage therapist, give Chuck a try! I ASSURE you– it will be one of the best decisions you can make for yourself!
I also loved that in comparision with my regular massage therapist, Chuck’s prices are VERY competitive and the lowest prices for such remarkable, wonderful massages! You can not go wrong with him! I think I am going to switch to having Chuck as my regular massage therapist now. When I first made the appointment, I was told that his massage was «the best of Los Gatos.» I can say with great confidence that this is a true statement. I’m just glad I found him before he gets all booked up and not able to take more clients!
Please keep in mind that, right now, he only works Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays 11am-​7pm.
