Hands 2 Health

Not bad, but not great either. The sign calls it something else out front, I guess for the price it was ok. It was clean. No place to hang my clothes, pleasant masseuse, but I’ve never had a massage done thru a towel before. She used oil on my back but a towel on the front of my legs. No arm massage or feet done in an hour massage, for some reason. Did a face massage, which was nice but not really needed. Nothing bad, I just probably won’t go back because I couldn’t really relax in the environment (walls are really thin and music wasn’t really relaxing)

Great massage for reasonable price. Vicky is very professional and have been coming to her for a few years. Takes her time and always remember my problematic points and always make sure special attention is given in each massage.

I have been going to Vickie for massages for the past 2 years. Hands down best massages I have ever had! Consistently amazing each and every time! Icing on the cake is her incredible presence, she is a wonderful person and it comes through each visit. Massage is one of the best gifts you can give yourself, with Hands 2 Health they make it easy with a great new location and you can’t beat the prices for the ultimate gift. Feel free to call them and get my number if you wish, I would love to continue to tell you how much I Love Hands 2 Health!

BEST MASSAGE IVE HAD!
I brought my best friend here last week before she got married as a treat and we both enjoyed our massages, it was like heaven was in their hands. I had Vicky and my friend had Lisa, it was a beautiful thing. I am definitely going back tomorrow. I couldn’t wait to come back to Plesanton to get a massage.

scary! Plus, it’s a min. 75 minute foot massage. That’s way too long!

I’ve been here twice now, once in December and just had my second visit this week. The prices here are very competitive and the ladies here do a great job! This is no day spa, and as one reviewer said, if you’re looking for candles and cucumber water and the like, you won’t get that here. You will however get a great massage and a relaxing environment. The rooms are nicely lit and clean. I’ve had one swedish type massage and more recently a deep tissue– which always leave me feeling like hamburger meat but I needed it! I believe I had Vicki recently and she really could tell where I’d been having problems and spent a lot of time in that area. If you want something fancy, and you don’t like appointments (they are always ready for walkins), these ladies are a great package!

So far I’ve had 3 different women (Vicki, Ada, and Lisa) for full body deep tissue and reflexology. I alternate with those every other week. They were all amazing in their own way, but Lisa (who is very hard but good) actually started saying «car crash car crash» while rubbing the knots in my neck today. I was impressed that she could tell there was a car crash, 2 years ago, actually, and she kept rubbing until there were no knots in my neck. relief!
One of Pleasanton’s best secrets!

I have tried many massage places in Pleasanton, and so far this place is the only one consistently good. The prices are good, the service is professional and the place is clean. I went in for an hour deep massage and got exactly what I paid for. The only thing I did not like is that the gal asked me for a tip as I was leaving. I had left one on the table for her already — so I was kind of pressured for no reason. Besides, tips are optional (or should be) and there were multiple signs reminding customers to leave tips up on the walls… isn’t that enough? Sigh … I will say the massage was tip worthy though and I will be back.

This is definitely not a fancy day spa, but if you’re just looking for a relaxing, reasonably priced massage in Pleasanton this is the place. I had a one hour Swedish massage with medium pressure. The woman did a great job and helped me with the crazy tension in my shoulders and neck. She even threw in a hot stone treatment for free. I personally didn’t like the hot stones because it felt like she was going to rub my skin off with rocks, which doesn’t really help me relax. So I’ll return and skip that part next time!

If you’re looking for cucumber water, scented candles and fancy ambience, then Hands 2 Health is NOT for you. But if you’re looking for a fantastic, inexpensive massage, then this is the perfect place. I’ve been about 5 times now– first for a prenatal massage and several since my son was born. This is the first massage place I’ve ever been where it feels like they can actually find all the sore spots and take the time to customize my massage to work them out. Too often massages at spas feel like they just go through the pattern of whatever type massage you’re getting (Swedish, etc.) but they never really pay attention to your unique needs. I go home from here feeling great. The place is clean but very bare bones– small basic rooms with paper thin walls and threadbare towels. If you can get past that, you’re in for one of the best massages of your life.

Asian Massage with a Happy Ending in Pleasanton? Oh, Yeah…
Read on Massage Enthusiasts:
This place is a no frills Massage/​Reflexology spot in a small alley next to Bank of America Downtown Pleasanton. I wanted to buy my husband a massage & reflexology gift certificate at another massage center, but the day I went, it was closed, and as I didn’t have many days to pick one up, I went to this place because it was open and it was on my way home.
The décor, like I said, is no frills, close to bare white walls, structured into small rooms down a little hall.
I got a SCREAMING deal for an hour Massage and an hour reflexology that could be used separately for $ 99!
My husband was kind enough to give me the reflexology gift certificate because I was under a lot of stress at work, and I am so glad he did.
The Treatment: I was a little sketchy at first when they told me to sit in a small commercial chair in the corner of my tiny room and stick my feet into a plastic tub of hot tea for ten minutes and left alone. But after that initial 10 minutes of tea feet, it turned into pure foot bliss. No jasmine/​peppermint/​eucalyptus/​lavender scented essential oil– just a non-​scented massage cream out of a jar written in chinese. Deep massage though my pads to my sole with knuckles– deep presses into every pressure point imaginable, including what seemed like 10 different points in each toe! Each foot (toes, foot, ankle, shin, calf, back to toes, back to feet) was given a full half hour reflexology treatment of bliss. I even got the Mr. Miyake Karate Kid treatment (yes, I know he was from Okinawa, but she did the rub her hands together and place over my knee bit, just like in the movie). Both feet felt as if I had never walked before, as if my muscles were new and made of butter. My treatment finished with a brisk hot towel rub down of my feet, toes and lower legs.
AND NOW– the Happy Ending Part?
Well, this is MY sort of happy ending… right when I thought the whole thing was over, she gives me a quick arm, hand, and neck rub down, and then chop suey’s my entire length of my spine. and this was ON TOP of my full hour reflexology!
I would like to recommend this place to everyone– well, not everyone– if you are ticklish, then a deep pressure reflexology treatment is definitely NOT for you, but it is totally for me. I am definitely going back!
