Massage By Daniel

Fantastic masseur! Very knowledgeable and great techniques. I highly recommend him for both relaxing massage as well as deep tissue.

Daniel was able to easy my pain within weeks. He was able to explained to me in simple terms what was wrong and how to fix it.
I definitely recommend his services, if you need to work on your body. Personally, I will continue with the sessions to get back to 100% and to avoid further injuries.

I was new to the area for work and needed a massage. Of course I googled/​Yelp best massages in Newport and based off the reviews I selected Daniel. Daniel did an AMAZING job! My body felt FANTASTIC after he was finished. I lift weights a lot and often my bursitis flares up. My shoulder felt so much better just after 1 visit. I will be going back in 2 wks to keep my shoulder from flaring up, but then making it my monthly place to go! He was very professional, polite, and can tell he wants you leaving feeling your best! Hmmmm… it has only been 2 days & I want to go back already!

I can’t express in enough words just how awesome Daniel is! He is so wonderful at what he does. I had an excruciating pain my my lower hip for almost a month, and I tried everything– Thai massages, deep tissue massages, lots of types of pain relieving creams. I couldn’t even sit for more than 5 min, bend over, or lift anything slightly heavy and it was really affecting my workouts, running, and strength training at the gym, as well as regular daily routines.
I was at a point where the pain got so bad i called around to all the sport massage and massage therapy places. And I am so glad i found Daniel. I was skeptical at first because nothing helped with the pain so far. But after my massage therapy with him I felt so much better. And as the days passed it got better and better, and then the crazy pain was completely gone!
I even referred my parents to Daniel just yesterday and so far they have nothing but great things to say about him and his work.
I thought that in a month I would have to go back because that pain would come back but so far it has been over a month and it’s still gone. I was actually looking forward to another session! haha
He will definitely be my go to guy for all my future pains and workout injuries =)

5 stars isn’t enough!!! Daniel is the BEST!!! He is so in tune with what is going on with a persons body and he gets all my problem area’s which are my neck and shoulders due to sitting at a desk all day.
I am SO glad I found him! After each massage I feel so much better! I literally sleep better too!
If you are an athlete or have a workout related injury I would suggest going to see Daniel.
I just got back from a long flight and my neck was killing me-​he was able to fit me in and fixed all the stiffness and pinched nerves in the matter of minutes.

This guy is the real deal! My back literally went out that morning and he had fixed it by that afternoon. He seriously knows his stuff and is great at what he does. I have been to many massage therapists and Daniel is one of the very best.

I had my first massage with Daniel today. It was awesome!!! This isn’t your typical massage. He is VERY smart and in tune with every muscle, how it works and why it needs to be maneuvered. Got a pain? He doesn’t just rub it, he works the origin of the pain and the surrounding area. It was truly remarkable and I’m hooked!

Daniel is great! My husband and I went to see him because we were having a lot of back pain. Daniel did a wonderful job of talking to each of us and coming up with an individualized plan of what areas to focus on. He also provided great education and and tips on what to do with the pain in the future. Daniel really knows what he is doing and you can tell he is passionate about his job. Thanks Daniel!

By far the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever got. Daniel is a talented therapist, great to work with and is very attentive and intuitive to one’s needs. I’d highly recommended Daniel to anyone!

Daniel is great! One of the best massages I ever got :)

I have been going to Daniel for the last 6 years or so. He also works on my kids as needed for sports strains and relaxation. Daniel is totally into his job! He’s not a half ass kinda person or masseuse. He’s strong and strategic. He isn’t satisfied unless you got the relief and experience you expected! He is by far my favorite masseuse and I’m a picky pain in the ass :). He’s particularly good for deep tissue and sports injuries. Smart, kind, professional. If give him 10 stars if I could!

Plain and simple Daniel is amazing.
I am a Doctor and if I need a massage to help relieve my pain or stress, I go to Daniel.
I have had many massages over the years and none compare to the results I get with him. I spend all day on my feet in a high stress environment and thus I have muscle pain in my lower back. Every time I get worked on by Daniel I leave feeling significantly better. The great thing about Daniel is that he is diligent and effective and the results that I get with him are consistent. He takes the time to figure out what muscle is the problem and the most effective way to help it. I have worked with Daniel for a few years and his work has never been anything short of fantastic.
I have sent many patients to him for massage work. Every single one has had great results.
Trust the other reviews on here, they are 100% spot on.
If you are considering having massage work on your back or neck,
Go and see Daniel.

I have been working with Daniel for over a year. He is very knowledgable. He is professional and he is enthusiastic about helping you heal. I think he knows the name of every muscle in the human body as well as how it is supposed to work.
When I started working with Daniel I did not have full range of motion in my neck. This was due to a sports related injury. My chiropractor continued to suggest that my spine was moving correctly but we could not improve the range of motion. Daniel was able to get my neck moving after a couple of sessions. He takes pride in his work. I also appreciate his instruction of work I can do at home to improve.
I gave Daniel 5 stars because he deserves them. You will be pleased with his service and thrilled by the results.

I found Daniel via reading the Unilocal reviews, I figured what the hey! They’re all the same right? Nope! Was I wrong! Daniel is in a class of his own.
He’s very attentive to ones needs. He takes the time afterwards to go over any questions or concerns. You definitely don’t feel rushed!
He has definitely been blessed with a talent that not most individuals can possess.
Thanks Daniel!

Daniel is such a knowledgable and professional therapist. Not only is he wonderful at his craft be he takes the time needed so you too understand your aches and pains. He is very able to amend to if i need an intense sports therapy massage session (which is a majority of the time…) or if i just need a relaxing session.
After the session we work together to come up with a plan for me to do on my own– stretches, foam roller work, etc– so that I can continue to live the benefits of his amazing work until out next session.
Daniel truly is a master at his craft!

Daniel is a lifesaver. Go to him. If you want more info, read on. Otherwise, just call him.
A little backstory: I am not a massage person. It’s been over 2 years since I had one, but I woke up with awful neck and shoulder pain one morning that got progressively worse to the point where I woke up in tears at 4 am the next morning as it hurt so bad. Going into labor was nearly on par with how I felt… almost.
Being that I never get massages I turned to Unilocal to find a massage therapist as I didn’t want to bother with the big chains that have been cropping up. I was really looking for more of a physical therapist when I came across Daniel.
I called him first thing in the AM since his Thursday location was right around the corner from my house. He called me back within a half hour of leaving a message and I was able to see him an hour later.
Daniel assured me that he is not a miracle worker, but I don’t know what else to call him. The pain didn’t go away instantly, but by the end of the day I felt a million times better, I could actually turn my neck. Each day has been better than the last.
Daniel is so knowledgable about his profession and the science behind what he’s doing. He also gave me other tips for things to do at home and work to minimize what sitting at a desk and lifting and running after a child have done to my neck and shoulders.
I hope all you others out there seeking relief will find it through Daniel. And quite possibly I won’t wait 2 years to get another massage.

Daniel is a healer. I’ve had four sessions with him so far, and my body feels much better than it has in many years. Two years ago, I had a lower back surgery for massive hernias from a weight lifting accident. I needed a massage therapist who is up to the challenge of working on my body with nerve injuries and very tight muscles.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I’d scare Daniel away with my initial lengthy emails describing my symptoms and problems. Daniel was very open and up to the challenge of helping me.
I’ve had many massages and consider myself a very picky client. I’ve also attended physical therapy sessions for years, but wasn’t getting enough focused attention to heal my tight (frozen) muscles which were causing nerve problems.
Daniel is very intuitive and has started to unravel years of injury and tightness. He is also great at explaining body mechanics and what’s needed to be done, and gives «homework» to help supplement the sessions so I can stay pain-​free. Before I started with Daniel, I was starting to wonder if I could continue working as a computer professional due to the pain in my thigh/​leg with my angry sciatic nerve.
Prior to seeing Daniel, I had two M.D.s tell me that I probably would not recover further, and I should carry a cane so I wouldn’t fall. After four sessions, I can walk further, have less pain, and even started to enjoy stretching and doing a little yoga. I was in very good shape prior to my injury, and it has been very frustrating to not be able to do much exercises. Now I am more productive at work and with my stretches, and look forward to getting even better!
Healing the body is my current priority. And finding Daniel has been a blessing. I recommend him wholeheartedly: Daniel is an exceptional massage therapist who is professional, positive, and gifted.

Feeling stressed? Working late hours sitting at a desk, or a physical job? Over working those muscles of yours at the gym day in and day out?
Well guess what can make you feel a million times better! Yup, you guessed it right, a massage from Daniel.
Not only can he work with you on the affordability of getting a great massage, he can also work with whatever aches or pains you are having and be spot on in resolving your issues and leaving your relaxed after wards.
He’s very knowledgeable of what he is doing, and also great with explaining what needs more work, and what kind of stretching you can do yourself to better your situation.
Give him a call, schedule your appointment, and look no further for a great massage!

You know that moment when your walking away from a massage and thinking that was shitty and I paid for it lol
Break the cycle by getting an AMAZING massage with Daniel TODAY
Let me say Im picky. How picky? I AM A MASSAGE THERAPIST. So you know he’s good when instead of promote myself, I’m promoting him (LUV) =]. Daniel is one of the few people I let touch me. I go to specific people and once you find them you dont let them go. His knowledge of the body is amazing, Iv had a ton of massages by him, and he’s a genuine nice person who cares about your all around health.

Ask any of my friends, I’m a massage therapy junkie. I do chair massages, full body massages, scalp massages, _​_​_​_​_​_​massages, etc. I’m pretty much an expert at people touching me.
Daniel does his massages out of Balance in Motion in Costa Mesa and I see him every month for deep tissue massage. I work out regularly and sit at a desk all day which basically means that my neck and lower back are always sore. Throughout the years, I’ve been on a quest to find a massage therapist that can pinpoint those areas. I like Daniel because I really don’t have to tell him what’s bothering me – he can pretty much figure out my problem areas when he starts to work on me. He’s also the type that will chat with you as little or as much as you like. During my massages, I usually talk about my backstabbing coworkers or my road rage experiences until I fall asleep.
As far as technique goes, I think he’s a good balance if therapeutic massage and deep tissue, although he can probably do anything. I always walk out feeling amazing and even better the next day. I usually get in an intense workout before seeing him which helps prevent a lot of my soreness.
