Arbus is a remarkable massage therapist. He is an expert professional as well as uncannily intuitive! I am an active senior, in quite good shape, pursuing my '10-Item Bucket List', particularly swimming in terms of endurance, grace and distance (but not speed LOL). Arbus is especially knowledgeable about movement and body mechanics. My neck, shoulders and hips have been particular areas of focus. I feel overall rejuvenated and refreshed after each session, and I will continue to see him weekly
with the exception of 'Bucket List destinations where
hotel and spa massages will be hard-pressed to equal the caliber of Arbus's body work.

I have been going to Arbus for several years. His massage is the best of the many I have tried. His place is so warm and inviting from when you enter into the very clean apartment with low lighting orbs along the floor lighting your way. The table is an oversized heated one with clean sheets and towels. His use of hot, moist towels to start off and enda with dry heated towels that he covers you with allowing you to bath in the glow of a most wonderful massage. His fingers never leave your body once he starts. The pressure is perfect as he checks in to ensure. The calm and relaxing music is the perfect setting. Arbus is beyond talented. His innate abilities are uncanny. He reads your body to know what you newd and delivers spot-on. You won't ever be disappointed. He is surpurb and is a gentle soul.

Arbus is the BEST massage therapist in the Bay Area. I look forward to seeing him every two weeks (or at least once a month) as I have done for the last 5 years. He will listen to your body and irons out any tightness with a combination of strong and gentle touch, all to wonderful music. I cannot describe in words all the benefits I get from my sessions with him.. he's a master!

Arbus is the best! He is a wonderful combination of strong and sweet. I have been going to him for a few years and I always leave feeling blissed out and completely relaxed. He is just a lovely person with great massage skills.
