Errol Feria, LMT

I think it’s worth pointing out that there’s no way to claim health insurance reimbursement for the treatment while Unilocal says they accept insurance.
I knew my insurance covers massage, so I asked him to send me a receipt for 5 times (in person, phone call and 3 voice messages), but he never sends it to me.
His massage was ok, but the customer service is disappointing.

I discovered Errol about five years ago when I became disenchanted with the massage therapy provided in San Francisco hotels and day spas. I live in Southern California and visit San Francisco several times a year. On each visit I make an appointment for a massage with Errol. Errol’s studio is located on Castro Street about 1−½ blocks from MUNI Metro. Errol is a gentle soul who is very intuitive when working on me. He is one of only two masseurs I’ve found who are able to relieve my head and neck problems. Errol incorporates a variety of techniques, ranging from Swedish to deep tissue, when he works on me. I always leave Errol’s space feeling relaxed and energized. I recommend him without reservation. It’s a great experience!

If you need a massage, go to anyone. If you need a healer, go to Errol. He’s outstanding. Just walking into his room and talking to him is calming. Right away you’ll feel you’re in the right place. His big brown eyes and his generous smile welcome you to what you will find to be far better than just a massage. It’s a time to heal, to learn about your body, to ask for help with chronic pain and to walk away knowing you just left a special place.
I had a neck injury 15 years ago which had formed a small bulge of flesh around C6-​C7. I told him to be careful with it since it was chronic and no one had ever been able to make it go away. I had accepted that I just had to live with it. He said…“Well, let’s see what we can do, i think I can help you.” By the time he was done it was gone. I couldn’t believe it. The lump was gone. He healed a chronic pain I had put up with for 15 years in one session.
Go see him, you’ll be happy you did.

I’ve been coming from the East Bay to SF for several years to see Errol and to benefit from his massage work. Much of my stress manifests itself physically in my back, shoulders and neck, and Errol provides a strong and professional healing touch while working out the kinks in my muscles. I’ve referred him to many of my men and women friends, all of whom (who?) had great experiences.
Errol’s healing space in the Castro is convenient to me, as I can either drive and easily park in the neighborhood, or I can take BART & MUNI. I really appreciate his professional manner and compassionate disposition, and he’s given me a lot of helpful advice on stress-​relieving techniques, posture, and the like.
I firmly recommend that you see Errol for a professional, healing massage experience.

I just got my 3^rd massage from Errol this past weekend. He did such a thorough and compassionate assessment before offering me 90 minutes of his healing hands and energy. Not only is he an amazing massage therapist with an incredibly convenient location, he also has a great understanding of the body and incorporates alot of yoga knowledge into his massage. I truly appreciate you, Errol!
See you again soon!

I have had excruciating hip pain for the past 9+ months (after getting overzealous with exercise DVDs). The pain was so bad it had me crying in Pilates and unable to roll over in bed. Never mind bending or leaning to the side or forward.
I was moving like a 90-​year old and wondering what I would do 20 years from now if it hurt like this now. I also began to understand why people in chronic pain look to end their lives. Yes, it was that bad. Even three months of physical therapy didn’t make go away.
I finally (why did it take me so long?!) booked a massage with Errol and while at times I honesty thought I was going to throw up as he was working on me it was SO WORTH IT. The pain is GONE. I heart Errol.

I’ve gone to Errol 3 or 4 times now and will definitely be going back as much as I can.
I second pretty much everything everybody else said about his technical abilities — he is very skilled and intuitive. I like how he’ll mix up styles to work out whatever he is sensing about my mood and feeling in my body as he starts to work. Technically, he’s got to be as good as or better than anyone else I’ve been to.
One big plus that hasn’t been commented on here much is that he’s a really nice and interesting guy as well. We always ended up having a nice chat while we’re together, and it makes it feel like i’m being worked on by a friend. Makes it just that much better!
By the way, go for the 90 minutes, 60 minutes is not enough. And schedule it for the evening, you’ll be ready to crawl into bed and sleep like a baby when you’re done!

Errol is a natural. I’m very picky about who I let work on me. So when I found Errol I was delighted with his approach. He treats you like an individual and addresses what is happening with your body right now. His flow and perfect sense of touch will melt away your tensions. His Castro office is serene.
I’ve also worked with him at events, and he is professional and always sought after.

I was feeling pretty sore the day after running a half-​marathon, and I called Errol based on his Unilocal reviews. I am happy to say the reviews were spot on. Not only do my legs feel better, but Errol relieved tension in my neck and hands, as well. He is a skilled massage therapist and the atmosphere in his space is so calm and relaxing, you’d never guess Castro Street is right outside the door. It was a great experience and I am looking forward to getting out and running again that much quicker.

i have known errol professionally and personally for over 6 years and i am so lucky to have someone like him in my life. not only is he gifted with the healing touch, but always has positive insight and energy to give as well. he makes the best dinner date, big brother, mentor and FRIEND. not to mention massage therapist. :)
now to the relevant massage therapist review, he is one of the few that i trust, and can refer my clients & friends to for massage. he has a wonderful approach to working on the body and will even show you exercises afterwards to help alleviate & prevent your pains. he is completely professional, and makes you feel comfortable and really has magic hands.
while working together at one of SF’s top day spas, i worked the front desk and handled the public demand for a spot on errol’s massage table, as he had quite a following. it was CRAZY i tell you, CRAZY!
ERROL is the bomb.
if you don’t know, now you know.
consider yourself ENLIGHTENED!
