San Jose Bodyworker

I went to Casey for several massages. At first everything was fine, and the massages were good. But then I realized that Casey had been overbilling me for my visits, and charging me for appointments that I never requested. In total, he charged me over $ 500 more than he should have over a 3 month period. I’ve tried to contact him to work it out, but he never answers his phone. I’d find someone else.

Casey is awesome. He knows how to dig deep and get the knots and kinks out. Very happy with my massages! That’s why I have the membership and go at least every two weeks.

I have been seeing Casey for clinical massage for years. I have been the type of client that I go see him when I am in pain, 1 – 2 visits and I am pain free, then I don’t go back for a long time. His work is so effective and lasting I always feel so much better really fast.
I was tired of the pain returning so I am now on a fitness program that he has tailor made for me and I am noticing huge changes in my strength! I highly recommend coming here. So excited to get back to being strong and healthy.

UPDATE: Still a loyal customer and loving it!
REVIEW FROM 11÷26÷13:
I’ve been coming to Willow Glen Massage for a little over a year now. Having been to a few other places gave very basic/​general body massages, I quickly realized that Casey catered his techniques and focuses to adhere to the specific strains of my body’s everyday routine. When I told him that I coach/​participate in both cheer and dance, he knew exactly where my problem areas were and worked hard to loosen those knots. This was somewhat different than what I was used to, but I found that my body was definitely benefiting from the customized massage.
Since then, I’ve also started to go to Casey on a monthly basis to help relieve these chronic stress-​related tension headaches. The massages really seem to be helping and I haven’t had a tension headache since! Along with great massages, he’s also given me advice on how to stretch/​work out the muscles in any of my problem areas in order take care of them in between sessions.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

UPDATE:
Casey is still the best massage therapist that I have worked with– ever. His knowledge, skills, and expertise are superior. Working with anyone else would be a waste of my time and money. He is also very skilled at using the rock tape. My hamstring, neck, and hip injuries feel so much better!

I searched online for fascial stretch therapy, and found the Living Social deal for SJ Bodyworker. I researched their website, which was very professional, and decided to give it a try. I chose to work with Casey as I like his credentials and it sounded like he knew what working with fascia was about. Booking online was super easy, clear, and and I received a confirmation email immediately, plus an email reminder the day before.
I chose the 90 minute clinical massage. I have old injuries that need extensive work, and I’ve been labeled an enigma by previous practitioners who could not effect any sustained change in my pain and discomfort.
First impression upon arriving: Casey is super nice, easy to talk to, genuine and caring. After talking a few minutes and showing him the yoga poses that cause distress, I knew this guy knows his work well and felt confident and at ease. He knows anatomy like nobody’s business and can easily tell me what’s causing my problems.
The massage was injury-​zone specific and exactly what my body needed. In other words: it hurt so good! Very thorough and worked out the spots that cause me so many problems. If you’ve never had this type of massage, you may be disappointed that it’s not all la-​la relaxing, etc, but as nice as that can be, it’s not what I needed. I was worried after the 1^st massage that I would be sore and bruised the next day, but I woke up feeling better than ever! Finally something that sticks!
Casey is very professional and has followed up each massage with Rock tape and exercises that I can do at home to help ease my pain and strengthen muscles that need it. I’ve had 3 massages now, and I plan to continue. The membership program is a great deal! Plus the music he plays is awesome :)
Thank you Casey :)

Mr. Casey Amaral is a blessing! I have been going to him once a week or at least once every other week for about six months to help me heal from a shoulder and upper back injury. Due to these issues, I have had hundreds of massages over the past few years and have seen countless people. I know what an amazing, healing massage is suppose to feel like. Casey completely understands anatomy and knows how to reduce muscle pain. If you want a seriously therapeutic massage, this is your guy. His regular clients, like myself, are addicts so if you are going to make an appointment, suck it up and understand there might be a wait but I promise he is worth it.

I made an appt for a 50 minute customized massage — because really, who doesn’t need a little help working out some kinks and feeling better?
Casey was ready for me, even though I arrived a few minutes early, and had me fill out a few questionnaires — mostly regarding what body parts currently hurt, old injuries and health information.
The space was inviting, tranquil and relaxing — just what I needed! The massage table had super soft sheets and a cozy blanket on it, made me just want to snooze away :)
The massage was fantastic! Casey took a lot of time on all my trouble spots — using different techniques to work out the kinks (there were a LOT of them!!) and to make my muscles happy again. The massage truly was customized — the places that really needed work, got it — the other places got some attention, just to make them more relaxed. I was a wreck when I walked in from years of neglect to my aches and pains and walked out feeling complete!
Casey showed me some exercises to help out my trouble spots (neck, shoulders and bootie/​thigh) — which I really appreciate because those are the things that have been causing me a lot of pain recently.
My whole body was like putty that evening. I was relaxed and happy, so I enjoyed a glass of wine and slept like a log :)
Can’t wait for my next one!
Give it a try — you won’t regret it!

This review is long overdue as I’ve been a member here for over a year now and Casey never disappoints. With his extensive background in physical therapy, Casey is very knowledgeable of the human body. He knows where the tension is and works out the knots every time. I always feel restored after my massage.
Casey is very professional and passionate about what he does. I would highly recommend his service to anyone who is looking for a consistent massage experience.
