Body Journeys By Boston Blake

Boston is Magical! It’s rare to find someone who really listens to your body. He’s attentive and doesn’t just «go through the motions,» he feels what needs to be corrected and has a beautiful way of healing the body. I love his massages and I recommend him to everybody.

Boston Blake is simply phenomenal: professional, intuitive, strong, and possessing a powerfully healing touch. I’ve been getting massages for many years and can honestly say his massages are probably the best I’ve ever had. After seeing him regularly for 3 years I still look forward to our appointments with the same enthusiasm, and am always left feeling blissfully relaxed and physically more balanced. NB: If you’re a runner or an athlete he knows exactly which muscles to work on to provide the recovery you need and to maximize your potential for your next run or workout.

I was directed to Boston by my regular massage therapist in San Francisco as he was out of town. He asked me to Unilocal him and I must say these reviews were dead on including one from his friend Anthony who like me is from the tech world and we all have back shoulder and neck issues. I went for 90 minutes. I recently had cervical spine surgery and just finished physiotherapy. Boston was very intuitive in his approach. I went in with back pain and tight shoulders and quads as I had been walking all day yesterday and very sore. Within 2 mins Boston had hit half of my sore points. He a extremely good with the right pressure. 90 mins flew by. I came out relaxed and pain free. So relaxed and energized that I walked back 2 miles to my hotel as über was in surge mode and I didn’t feel like calling a cab. Boston also was kind enough to recommend a place to watch the soccer World Cup. I would highly recommend him. I will be back on my next trip.

I’ve had a lot of massage, chiropractic care, physical therapy, and acupuncture over the years, and Boston was so incredibly in tune with my body — even on the first visit. I was blown away. He really concentrated on restoring my range of motion and releasing the major sources of tension that I had built up. I would highly recommend you give him a try. it’s so much more than just a massage!

I’ve been to Boston twice so far and it has been phenomenal. He offers an excellent combination of learned massage technique and natural intuitive skills. I had a few areas of injury that I brought up, and he took the time to discuss them in detail both before and after, and also was open to input from me as he was working on those areas. The massage as a whole was amazingly relaxing, putting me into an excellent space of ease afterward both physically and emotionally. The location is very convenient, and the space itself is perfect — quiet, soft and inviting. I found him here on Unilocal,and can attest that all of the stellar reviews had has on here hold true!

First a disclaimer, Boston is actually a good friend of mine but this review would be the same regardless if I knew him or not.
Boston is one of the best massues I’ve come across, I’ve had massages regularly for most of my life and have had the fanciest $ 300 massages at island resorts to the grimy dirty chinese places in NY. There are good, bad and average massues and then there is Boston. He is up there as one of the best, he truly has magical, relaxing, strong, healing hands and creates a calm environment in which to relax and float away as he removes all the tension.
From firm sports massages to soft and relaxing stress-​relief Boston has got you covered!

I just finished receiving one of the best massages I’ve ever had! It was exactly was I was looking for in terms of bodywork. I receive massages on a regular basis and I’m very particular about how I like to be worked on… needless to say I’m a very happy girl right now. :0)
I have a couple chronic injuries and some areas of my body that need special attention. Boston was able to attend to the those aggravating areas in my hips and shoulders by applying just the right amount of pressure without making the rest of my body tense up (which is very difficult to do). Not only do I feel relaxed right now but I feel totally energized!
Thank You Boston for putting my body back together again! I’ll definitely be back on the table again soon!

I’ve had more than a few massages in my life, but Boston’s work is by favorite by far. He is dedicated and knowledgeable about body work and it shows. His space is clean, peaceful and conveniently located. I felt great when I got off his table and I will absolutely be back soon.

I have had countless massages in my 11 years of living in SF. The massage I had from Boston was one of the best I have ever experienced. I am a CMT myself, and have learned not to say anything about that unless it comes up after the appointment. I had to mention to him how much I appreciated his healing energy and intuitiveness. For me, massage is all about an exchange of energy. I feel that Boston truly understands this and gives a calming, professional and relaxing massage. I never felt too much pressure, or any pain. I have to say it is exceptional for a massage therapist to tune into their client so well, and deliver just what is needed. Knowing that people like Boston are out there helping others with their well-​being, gives me hope for humanity. Thanks a million, Boston!

I get a little freaked out when going for a massage. Where do I change? How much do I tip? god forbid I fart!
I don’t want to look like a pervert. What if the sheet falls down?
Anyway, the point is I have only gone to a few people that I actually liked. Boston made me feel super comfortable. The massage room is in the back of a office like building which was a little weird, but the massage room was great and it actually works that it is far back cause it is quiet and warm.
Props for knowing how hard to go. It was firm and certainly did the job without me wincing the whole time or asking if it is too hard every 30 seconds.
Go Boston! I’ll be back

Boston is a kind soul with magic hands and intuition. He manages to know the perfect pressure and where to focus his time. I highly recommend you go to Boston, and plan on wanting to go back again and again. Plus his prices are very competitive!

First review?! I can’t believe noone else has written about Boston’s magic hands.
I’ve received massage work from Boston for a couple of years now. At one point, my back was killing me so much I could barely walk down stairs! After a series of Boston sessions, I was right as rain :)
Boston always listens carefully to what i’ve got going on and digs in to all the right places.
Go get work from him right now!
*update: just got some work done by Boston after ignoring my poor body for a while. He’s as good as ever :-)

Boston has an amazing gift. His ability to touch in just the right place with just the right amount of pressure to create the openings in the body that are necessary is beyond compare. I have had this experience consistently over the years and have been to 20+ CMTs over the years. Beyond his touch, his «bedside manner» is friendly, inviting, safe and simply beautiful to be around.

I can only give him 5 stars? OK, but I would give him 10 if I could. Boston is fabulous. When people talk about healing hands this is what they are talking about.
Boston has touch unlike any other. He is strong and gentle at the same time. A massage with him feels like a journey. I am having a hard time writing this without sounding like a complete hippie, but so be it. He’s great. Go for it.

Boston is the best massage therapist I’ve ever encountered. I’m a regular customer and have had over 10 sessions with him. My reasons for rating him so highly are his technique, professionalism, and empathy. Boston listens carefully to my assessment of the state of my body and starts the massage accordingly, and is extremely perceptive of the non-​verbal cues that my body sends out during a session. His ability to establish this rapport and then adjust the focus, technique, and intensity of the session is what sets him apart from most other therapists I’ve worked with. On top of that, he’s warmly professional and an overall good egg.
