Jocelyn Yang, CMT

Jocelyn comes to our office and we get treated to wonderful 15-​minute long chair massages weekly. It doesn’t sound like a long time, right? But man oh man, it makes such a huge difference!
Her pressure is firm, but not painful. And I feel incredibly relaxed afterward and my desk-​bound body doesn’t hurt as much. Jocelyn’s also great to chat with — she’s very friendly and knowledgable — or you can just relax in complete silence as well. So nice.
Highly recommended!

Jocelyn is simply an amazing massage therapist and person to get to know. Her massage skills are second to none, and her knowledge of the human body is top notch. I would highly recommend Jocelyn to anyone and everyone I know… she’s that good!

About a year ago, had chronic pain in my back, neck, and arm. It was due to a poor ergonomic seating arrangement and improving that situation didn’t seem to help. After weeks of agonizing pain, I decided to seek help.
I went to two other massage therapists, both of which did me no good. Then I found Jocelyn.
Her profile listed her as a former computer science student, which made me think she probably understood a thing or two about my situation, since I am a computer programmer. And she certainly did.
She provided a very targeted session and worked the muscles most in pain, as well as muscle groups I didn’t realize were related. Not only that, Jocelyn also provided a lot of great advice, such as types of stretches and exercise I could do at my desk. She even had diet suggestions.
I followed all of her advice and after several sessions, found my pain significantly minimized. Then I went on vacation and the added time away from the computer completely removed the pain.
Jocelyn is so good at her work that she effectively worked herself out of a client, as I no longer need massage therapy. But I’ve been recommending her to everyone I know. I even tried to get her into a previous company at which I worked, since she does on-​site massages for some Bay Area tech companies too.
If you are looking for a thoughtful, detail-​oriented, and knowledgable massage therapist who is especially familiar with repetitive stress injuries and pain, I would highly recommend Jocelyn.

Jocelyn is very professional and she knows muscles. She recently moved from her old location at Back In Shape Chiropractic in San Mateo and also does company on-​site massages.
She has more inexpensive 30 and 45 minute sessions which is nice to be able to get massages more regularly instead of only when I am really in pain.

I have been working with Jocelyn for over two years and have also been receiving her work also. Coming from a fellow therapist that has been practicing for over 7 years, her work is definitely detailed towards my issues. She is a very personable therapist that can range with light pressure to deep tissue if needed. Her strengths is her ability to work with repetitive stress and tackle it with her knowledge of deep tissue. I am glad to be able to have her work with my shoulders. Yet my neck is my main issue and she has been one of my go to therapist to work on my stiff necks. Even with all the knowledge I know as a therapist with ways to work with stressed muscles, it is still hard to prevent tightness in the neck and shoulders. Thanks to Jocelyn for being able to work on my crazy knots in my neck and shoulders!

I’ve been getting massages about once a month from Jocelyn for the last few years! I keep coming back because it’s such a nice reward for my mind and body after hectic weeks. When you walk in, the room is clean, relaxing music is playing, candles are running and all you need to do is lay down and relax! Sometimes I feel chatty and other times I just want to meditate and Jocelyn goes along with either. She does a great job at finding the stress zones and even suggests stretches to loosen tight muscles. It’s such a nice experience that I even recommended her to my company and now she comes to our office twice a month to do chair massages.
