Elements Massage

I absolutely recommend Daniel as your therapist. He is educated and very compassionate about his job. I see him once a month and it helps with my sciatica, shoulder and back muscles. Treat yourself to a great massage. You will be glad you did.

Julia was awesome. So very relaxing and A wealth of knowledge about stretching! The gentleman up front was extremely helpful. Thank you Elements!

I must say I’ve had my fair share of massages but nothing compares to my experience at Elements.
As soon as I walk in I’m greeted by name. I don’t ever wait long for my therapist to come out and get me.
I’ve had massages from every therapist there because I like variety and I like to see what each therapist has to offer.
I love how the people up front place you with the therapist that fits what you’re looking for.
They make every process easy and I love that they’re open 7 days a week!
Thanks Elements for always giving me the best massage!

Brandy was absolutely AMAZING. She was the most professional massage therapist I have ever worked with. She listened to all of my needs and constantly made sure I was comfortable. I felt so much better afterward. I would most definitely recommend this place and of course, Brandy to anyone interested in getting a massage here!

Found this place as its in the best strip mall in San Diego and because of all the amazing reviews gave it a try. Had the best deep tissue massage I have ever had and felt amazing after (during of course was dying in a good way). Mandy at the front desk is the sweetest thing in the World and while in my massage, found nearest Whole Foods so I could order our Thanksgiving dinner! So appreciated the awesome service! Thanks!

I was treated to a hot stone massage by Julia as a birthday present from my hubby and son. It was phenomenal. I love the atmosphere here and the staff was very kind. Julia was probably the best massage therapist I have ever had. Not just with the actual massage but her attention to me, making sure I had water in the room, asking if she should re-​visit any spot on my back before I rolled to my front, asking if I wanted water after I rolled to my front, checking in on me with how everything felt while she was working her magic, my whole time with her was amazing. I would highly recommend that you book your appointment soon! You don’t want to wait any longer to experience this place!

Had really great experience. Paid $ 59 for an hr massage but I really could’ve done a 90 min– the time flew by so fast. I had actually requested a 60 min massage and then tried to change it to 90 mins. They said «after 60 mins, let him know if you still want the extra 30 mins». What ended up actually happening is my masseuse ended the massage and acted like he really wanted to bail. Bummer!
My masseuse was Daniel. Before I saw Daniel, I showed up 10 mins early to fill out a paper. The waiting room is nice– simple but extremely professional and «zen».
My prime motivator for a massage tonight is I have been dealing w/​chronic hip pain and tonight I had a ton of muscle tension in my neck. This massage was very different from other experiences, in the sense that I wasn’t greased up and massaged all over (a bit of a bummer, as we did discuss which areas I wanted to focus on). Part of me wanted the «luxury, relaxing massage» but in reality I did reap the practical benefits of a massage.
Daniel has an «interesting» technique. What i can tell you is that he grabbed kinda strange areas (for eg, area by my arm pit) and would jiggle them. I figured it was to warm up the muscles so that he could make them more pliable. Not fully sure. Huge bummer bc I really wanted my feet worked on but it never happened…
As for pain relief, I feel +great+ leaving than I did going in. For that reason I am
staying at 4 stars.
–1 star bc this place is overpriced. Even if you join their monthly wellness club, the massage is $ 69 instead of $ 99. That’s a lot of money when you throw in a 20−25% tip. I tipped $ 20 so my total came to $ 79. I would prob give them 5 stars, if their regular price was $ 60 for one hr, without having to join some club. I’m not into that.

Got a 55 minute Swedish massage from Daniel — great! I would definitely return. Want to try again to confirm consistency of service before buying in to a package.

What’s not to love about this place?! First time clients get 1 hr for $ ⁵⁹⁄₂ hr for $ 118 (which is what I did). My first time there I had Tammy, who is on-​call. Her style is going in deep without you knowing it. Very therapeutic. The second time I had Daniel and he’s like a combo swedish/​firm/​sports (stretching) and accupressure. I really liked him. My hubby had Dan, who gave him a really deep tissue, which is what he needed.
I’ve been meaning to write my 5 star review as I’m a fan of theirs. From their excellent, and very friendly service, down to so far the 3 various therapists we had were all great, for different reasons.
Honestly, I was hesitant to book my first massage there. Y’no, strip mall (located next to Sprouts on Carmel Mt. Road) and I figured it’d just be like Ross on Friends (the wooden spoons episode lol ;) But they impressed me.
I ended up joining their massage club. I pay $ 69/​mo on a recurring credit card charge and it allows me 1 hr/​mo plus any additional massages that month for me (and/​or one person of my choice to be part of my membership, in this case, hubby) is $ 59. All unused massages rollover month to month and never expire. It’s a month to month contract (need 30 day notice to cancel) and at the time of my sign up I got a free 1 hr. massage. They didn’t give it to me (at first I didn’t know about the deal so I hadn’t asked for it) and when I called the manager, Jules said there was some typo on their website (you get a free 1 hr w/​one yr sign up). I asked if he’d honor it since that’s what it said, and no arguments, he gave me the 1 hr massage. THAT’s customer service. Nothing I hate more than bait & switch. So yeah, I’m not on a one year, but I plan on it. Even if I have to put it on hold (ex: going on vaca), I would just restart it the month after.
Their membership prices are:
55 min $ 69
80 min $ 99
110 min $ 129
I could get my massages for less at my chiropractor’s office. But the problem is getting appts same day when I need it/​what fits my schedule. At Elements, each time I’ve called, I’ve been able to be seen pronto! I have this nasty habit of getting injured during holidays lol my first time there was Memorial Day weekend… so, being Labor Day weekend, naturally, I tripped over some boxes and pulled some muscles… I called and got same day appts for me and hubby 3 hrs later! To me, that’s worth paying a little more for. Plus it’s very high quality, super convenient to where I live and I love their hours.
Also, anything outside of the recurring credit card charge, they accept Spa Finders certificates. So I buy them at Costco at 20% off face value and use them to pay for additional massages.
Very nice and clean. Everyone is super friendly. Hours are M-​S 9 – 9 and Sunday 10 – 7.
lol I just got home from a massage and had their flier, that’s how I know all this stuff. I don’t work there!
Even if you don’t join their club, at least try their new client deal. I’m so impressed at the quality of their therapists! Bonus, they’re close to The Joint (chiropractor), The Bar Method (where I do barre), and Corebody Pilates (the BEST SPX studio in town!) so after I do all my ClassPass classes (#ClassPassAddict), I can get a massage.
ps– Monica at the front desk rocks and she loves Hello Kitty, just like me!

I felt like this was gonna be a mediocre massage parlor. But I was truly wrong the staff were great and friendly. I had Tammy who did a fantastic job and was great with sports related muscle tightness and knots and even went above and beyond to give me stretches to do to help the process along. I would definitely recommend her to any athletes looking for a therapist that knows sports specific areas. My wife was scheduled for the same time I was and also receive a great massage and came out begging to join their wellness program.

I my experience was absoluty lovely from start to finish! The receptionist was super friendly and pleasant to chat with. My therapist, Sabrina was phenomenal! I left feeling very relaxed and rejuvenated ! Thank you for such a wonderful experience! exactly what I needed!

I had the most relaxing & soothing massage last Friday. I was very tense & stressed out that week. I left the spa feeling renewed. The masseuse was very gentle & kind. She was personable & we had a great conversation. The place is very nice, clean and relaxing. The scents and music was very soothing. A great escape-​I am so thankful that my daughter gave me the gift card for this amazing place. I would love to make Elements my personal massage therapy spa but unfortunately the location is over 20 miles away from my home. Highly recommend them though. Shout out to

Great massage by Dan! This was one of the best deep tissue massages that ive ever had. The masseuse was very knowledgable and i definitely recommend him. As for the spa, its very basic. Would definitely recommend that they offer or use aromatherapy oils/​candles in the masssage rooms. Also, the use of heat packs or hot towels would have made my experience even better. I think this place has great staff, but the overall ambience could be improved.

I’m sorry folks, but this place is just another chain of massage parlors. Yes, they’ll book you quick but will it bring you relief? No. At least not in my case. I’m a very active, athletic person and got a pinched nerve in my back. Yes — the GP will rx. Zanaflex or Soma but a good massage always fixes it. I was booked with Theresa who is very young and it’s obvious she just graduated from school. I got «elbowed» my back for 40 minutes, it was ridiculous! It was the most un-​helpful massage I ever had. Going back to Stone Medical Group in Escondido. At least Patrick know his stuff and always «fixes me»

Leslie, is the best deep tissue masseuse I have ever had! She is firm with magic hands. I loved her unique technic. She is very skilled in relieving back aches. I was very surprised how strong she was because I usually prefer a man because I like it hard. I would definitely repeat.

Clean, quiet, friendly staff– those are the only good things about my experience.
I’m in more pain after the massage– which is a first for me.
I don’t like deep tissue.
I said that to my masseuse yet still it was way too deep.
I wanted relaxation, to the point of falling asleep.
Didn’t happen– longest non-​relaxing and miserable hour I’ve had in awhile– all for $ 59 + tip.
I’m very disappointed.

I was in town visiting family and one of them happens to be a member here. So I went in for a massage and was surprised at the QUALITY of the massage for the price. The place was super clean and the employees are all so helpful and friendly. I just wish we had an Elements back here in Delaware :) From what my cousin and the front desk told me the Wellness Program membership is just an easy month-​to-​month program. I wish I could join! I will definitely be back in when I’m in town.

I felt like jello after I left!
Massage places are usually the same in that they offer calm surroundings with friendly service. However, it comes down to the quality of the masseuse. I have had massages in the past where I walked out feeling NO difference. Today, I booked a random appointment because I’ve been feeling a lot of aches and pains and was fed up. They got me in and catered to the spot on my body that was compromised. Overall it was one of the best full body deep tissues massages I’ve had. She worked on my problem area as well and I already feel better. I’ll be back in two weeks!

Let me start out by saying, that as a guy that has never had massages before, I was pleasantly surprised at how much that put you at ease here. Never really having pampered myself before, it could have been a little disconcerting. I was set up with an excellent massage therapist named Erica. She is a true professional. Hears what you say, asks about pressure, offers advice at the end, what else do you want?
(I’m assuming by Stephanie M.‘s comments, she wanted someone to hold her hand and think for her (and pay for it, oh it was) — BTW, if you look at her reviews on Unilocal they are overwhelmingly negative and she does not give a true reflection of this business establishment. Probably one of the «self proclaimed entitled ones» that cuts people off on the freeway because she thinks her time is more important than anyone else’s. Please remove stick from @ss –Rant over).
The value is great if you sign up for the wellness program. I noticed one reviewer complained about cancellation terms, because she didn’t bother to read what she was signing. Hence the housing crash of ’08. Almost every company in the world makes it hard to cancel memberships/​subscriptions. That’s life.
Anywho, if you want a great experience I would give this place a shot. They will even try to push the cucumber/​lemon/​kiwi/​etc. flavored water on you if you show up early and have to wait. Only complaint is the switch from Ghiradelli chocolates, come on guys you can do better.
Stay classy San Dia go.

I have been curious about this place which opened about a month ago. I wanted to compare it other places since it’s much closer for me. It’s to the left of Sprouts in the Carmel Mountain Plaza. In the window, their deal is new clients get a 55 minute massage for intro rate of $ 49. (regular rate is $ 99 for a 55 minute massage.)
(I just missed the flyer deal which was a better rate of $ 39 for a 55 minute for new clients, but you had to book by 8÷10÷13 and use by 9÷15÷13. Yep, I snoozed on that. Still this deal was pretty good.)
Today I thought I’d look them up on Unilocal,but the only place listed with this name was a different location further north. Normally I check Unilocal prior to trying, but I thought I’d take a chance, and I’m glad I did!
They were able to accommodate me as a walk-​in. Yeay! The receptionist who helped me was nice and the lobby was comfortable. A short form and 5 minutes later, I was in a nicely decorated massage room. The room temperature was just right.
My massage therapist BILL was really informative and educational. I wanted to try a combo of Swedish and Deep Tissue (lower back issues are bothering me again) and he started off with no oil at first, then incorporated oil and hot compress. I’m very happy at how detailed the massage was. He was still able to do a quick all body massage, though I’m content that we spent more time on my back issues. He checked in with me throughout to be sure the pressure was good, which I appreciated. After my massage, Bill even took a few minutes to suggest some stretches I could do at home, which I thought was really great customer service. And the chocolate was a nice touch.
When I checked out, the other receptionist explained the wellness program (you pay once a month and get discounted rates and free massage when you join. Massage can roll over to next month and can be shared with significant other.)
Now to be clear, this is not a place to bring the gals for a hang out all day spa experience, i.e. no sauna /​shower lounging here, but the massage was very good and I’m glad I decided to check them out.
