Tod Overstreet

Tod ROCKS – That is all you need to know!

Tod is the best massage therapist I have had. He is holistic in every sense of the word and is thoughtful, thorough, and caring in his massage practice. He always listens and understands where my back pain is stemming from and approaches the massage based on my needs and how my body responds. I always walk out feeling like I got everything I wanted out of the massage and ready to schedule the next one! He is incredibly caring and very in touch with the type of upper back pain I have, and always suggests exercises I can do at home to provide additional relief. I highly recommend Tod for someone who is looking for a very high quality, no frills massage from a mindful, caring, and talented therapist!

A massage by Tod is a treat — relaxing, healing, rejuvenating. I felt so comfortable and safe with Tod — he is so calming. Just a really gentle, wonderful soul who has the skills and knowledge about the human body to really make a massage a great all-​around experience. I have recommended Tod to everyone I know looking for a massage.

Tod is amazing with his hands and he is such a kind spirit! He’s got the skills and caring to make for a healing and relaxing massage. If I lived closer, I would get all my massages from Tod only!

I was in a car accident a few months ago and had a difficult time getting over the pain and tight muscles. My acupuncturists referred Tod, and he’s great! He knows the body well and how to treat it. I’ve had trouble sleeping comfortably after the accident but when I got home from my first session, I feel asleep like a baby!!! I’m definitely going to continue to use Tod!!!

Tod is truly a master of his craft. I have had a lot of bodywork over the years and Tod is the one I trust with my complex issues. When I first came to see him I was in such pain I could hardly move. I basically said to Tod, «please help me but don’t touch me.» Most therapists I think would not know what to do with someone like me but not Tod. He was patient, checked in with me just the right amount, and most importantly he new how to find his way into my locked up and scared body. Tod has this amazing ability to listen to the needs of my body at any given time. Each session is different based on my needs and not his agenda. He truly meets me where I am and helps. I feel lucky to have found such a gifted healer. Because of Tod’s work I am back to being very physically active, stronger and happier in my life. Truly a transformational experience!

I’ve been going to Tod for massage for a few years now. He is truly an exceptional healer, with wonderful skills, positive energy and presence. I always leave a session feeling restored, centered and with a strong sense of well-​being. In general I don’t have many health issues, except for a lot of stress, but a few times I have had specific wrist/​arm pain from excessive computing, or hip pain from running, and literally one session with Tod has left me pain-​free, stress-​free and feeling well. Thanks Tod! You are the best.

I was referred to tod by a woman sitting next to me in a restaurant who overheard my complaints about back pain. She assured me I would get relief from tod and she was correct. Within the last year I’d seen several different professionals, desperate to get better; physical therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists. And my pain was no less. I am an athlete and began to think I had either come to the end of my physicality or had arthritis and was on a path to a sedentary lifestyle. When I first met tod he spent the time to listen to what was going on with me. He asked me questions about what I do physically, he analyzed my gait, asked me to demonstrate how I sit and type on the job and how I stretch. And then he worked on me with a focus on my lower back and hips. I felt better! After the session he gave me several things to do to stretch my IT band, strengthen my core, and most importantly, he suggested small changes to my posture while walking and at the desk as well as ways to support my back while sleeping. I finally had a pain free night of sleep! After seeing him for about 2 months and incorporating these things into my life, I feel better. I am not totally better, but I have days with no back pain, and, more importantly, I know how to help myself. tod gave me amazing body work AND the tools I need to prevent pain. He is a thoughtful human being and a true healer.

I have had massages all over the world. I have never found anyone else who has the healing power of Tod. When I fractured a vertebra, several years ago, Tod was the ONLY healer who was able to take the pain away. I had been to chiropractors, acupuncturists, holistic healers, my internal medicine doc (MD), a back surgeon. None of them were able to help, except to give me pain pills, or offer surgery. Tod started slowly, gently, and my body responded. I would be pain free for 3 full days after Tod’s treatment. He gave me gentle exercises to help at home to stay as pain free as possible until the next treatment. when I’m on Tod’s treatment table, my whole body responds to his healing energy, his gentleness, his sensitivity to my body’s needs, and trust — the most important factor. Today, my back is healed, but I return to get «Todded» whenever I am able. This man is a gifted gem, and the person under the healing hands of Tod will reap the benefits for many years.

Tod is the best. He is a true healer. He has a great understanding of how the body works. He listens, remembers and helps you understand how to heal, strengthen and release. I started receiving massages from Tod when I was pregnant and have been going ever since – over 7 years. Nothing beats a Tod massage.

I’m a trained bodyworker (though not practicing), and Tod is one of my top choices when I need a massage. He has both highly-​trained skill and intuitive talent. His presence and workspace are refined and comforting. His style of massage is unique, a blend of East and West with a thorough knowledge of anatomy. He never fails to find the spots that needs attention, and lovingly works on them deeply but totally non-​aggressively. Not the type to force your muscles into submission by banging on them, if you’re looking for that type of thing… but a true healer with mindful precision that will give you lasting benefit.

I was really impressed with Tod’s massage technique/​body work. I would recommend him in a heart beat. I found the massage unique with a «fusion» of so many different schools incorporated in a very «whole» way.

Tod is an amazing massage therapist, energy worker, and great person. His work and service are very healing. His technique as a massge therapist has helped my body release both physicially and energetically, while his energy has proven to be healing spirituality, as well! He is very personable and I enjoy his presence! I have experienced a few massage therapists in my lifetime and, honestly, he has been the best so far. He knows what he’s doing and I feel the effects immediately.

San Francisco has a lot of great body-​workers, and Tod is among the
best. In fact, he is kind of the bodyworker’s bodyworker. He has been doing massage for like 20 years and it shows. He is one of only a handful of people on the west coast doing Thai Yoga massage with as much training and experience. His orthopedic and table massage is great, deep work that you’ll wonder how you lived without. If you want
a great massage from a really good guy, call Tod.
