Carlsbad Best Massage

Helen is a miracle worker!!! My partner and I came in for a 45 min couple’s massage on a Saturday at noon, they worked us in pretty much right away. We both work with our hands and were having lots of shoulder pain, mine was going down the arm and causing lots of pain, tingling, and numbness. The room was nice and relaxing, low lights and quiet music. Helen made sure to ask what kind of pressure to use and I told her to use pretty strong pressure and told her what my symptoms were. The massage itself was not exactly "pleasant", but not because Helen did a bad job, simply because I was sooo tight and sore. She REALLY got into the most painful parts of my shoulder and neck, sometimes the pressure felt like almost too much but I didn’t tell her to stop because I needed those knots GONE. Afterwards my partner and I were both quite sore, but I could immediately turn my head to the left without pain, which I couldn’t do before. Helen told us to drink warm water and to expect to be sore for a couple of days and she was definitely correct about the latter part. Prepare to be sore for 2-3 days with a deep tissue massage on an area that’s been painful. However I can happily say that a HUGE amount of my neck and shoulder pain is gone!! It’s not totally resolved but I will definitely be going back for more treatment with Helen! She is awesome 😎 She’s obviously quite well informed about how muscles, fascia, and nerves work together and even has a chart at the front desk showing all the relevant anatomy throughout the body. Super reasonable pricing as well. Highly recommend

I’ve been coming to Helen for years. She is the best! I’ve seen her through my 2 pregnancies and postpartum. I’m 2 months postpartum and just received the most incredible deep tissue 90 minute massage. I love coming back here!

Very prompt service and great massage. Their service is top class. They do a great job managing the appointments so you don't have to wait. Try the full body massage, they are fantastic. They go above and beyond to delivery an overall great experience. Very friendly and professional staff.

Wow, that was well worth the money and Helen was awesome! Still a bit sore in a good way 🙂 highly recommend if you are looking to fix some tight spots.

I went to Mary at Carlsbad Best Massage and it was so lovely! I left feeling both energized and relaxed. I woke up feeling more limber as opposed to sore like I have at other places. She was very thorough and her hands are healing. I can’t wait to go back. This will be my new regular massage location. So grateful they exist!

I started seeing Helen and her team during pregnancy. One of the best recovery massages ever. She is so knowledgeable of the body, and was so kind and attentive. I came back for a foot massage and also enjoyed it! It isn’t your typical dark, packed massage center, usually you are the only one there which is so enjoyable.

Helen and her team are amazing. Helen has helped solve plantar fasciitis in my foot for me and has greatly relieved other chronic issues. Also she is just an extremely pleasant and super nice person. Thank you Best Massage!
