It was great! The technic that Meredith uses seems to work on my body well. I needed some recovery time for a few days after 90 min massage this time as I felt so exhausted. She was very thorough before and after. She takes good amount of time to ask what's going on my body with ailment I have and what I need most during the session. Since she can go very deep not only for muscle but promotes lymphatic flow and other, I can go not asleep but deep , almost meditative resting state which I did not experience with any masseuse/masseur at Elements before. No unnecessary talk during the session either. I feel she is the one-step above advance massage therapist with full of knowledge and understanding of human body. Shorter talk and shorter undressing time not more than 5 minutes before the session would be good although I appreciate her thorough review after the session very much. I may ask her to go easier on the outside of thigh as they are usually very tender spots of my body even though it's necessary to work on the area to release tension in muscle surrounding hip joint.
It's convenient to schedule online. The rooms are calming and comfortable and every massage therapist I've seen at San Mateo have been professional and skilled.
Meredith was awesome! Seemed to listen and understand the problem completely. Took the time necessary to work out the stress points in my shoulders and hips.
I came in as a first time visitor and terrible pain. Shiv listened and tailored my treatment exactly to my needs. He checked in regularly to make sure that the pressure was ok and was not making my pain any worse. I had told him that I wanted all of the time focused on my area of trouble, and he listened! When I left, I was so relieved and felt so much better that I almost could not believe it. Now, a few days later, I still feel so much better and appreciative of his efforts and kindness.

I'm very happy with the two services (two one-hour massages) I received in 2024 and this year. I saw Amber the first time and Billy the second. Both therapists were very friendly and had great suggestions for how to ease tension and pain and both suggested follow-up massages. The front desk staff is very friendly and communicative. I would definitely recommend Elements to anyone needing a massage in the San Mateo area.
