You are you. With your own unique aches and pains. Whether it's tennis elbow or sciatica, pulled muscles or migraines, carpel tunnel or just a plain pain in the neck, The Massage Garage gets results. Our goal is to make your body run smoother, regardless of the age, make or model. We'll give your body a complete overhaul, isolating where the pain is, and using specific neuromuscular massage modalities to make your body run in synch with your life.

Gary Mendelson is a massage therapist with a background unlike that of any other massage therapist. He was a dancer, an actor and a candlestick maker. You heard right, we have moved to a new location within The Healing Arts Building at 1801 Bush Street, Suite 131A, San Francisco, CA 94109. All sessions will now take place at this new location and will be available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.

We will continue to follow all state and local guidelines and procedures to keep everyone safe. If you are feeling uncomfortable with our in-person sessions, you can book one of our 15 Minute Consultation, Virtual Structural Assessment with Stretching and Strengthening Session or Virtual Massage Session here.

Gary Mendelson is a massage therapist with a background unlike that of any other massage therapist.
He was a professional theater artist for 25 years, as a dancer, singer and actor who performed in many major Broadway productions.
During his two years in CATS, his body sustained many injuries, and the production company always provided therapeutic massage to the cast as needed.
He was awed and amazed that massage therapy could get him out of pain and back to work the same day.
That's when the seed was planted to heal others through touch.
You already know Gary is not your usual massage therapist.
Sure, like most massages, you'll feel good after one of his sessions, but feeling good isn't good enough for Gary.
He wants to make you feel better.
And it's the manner in which he approaches every client that gets you the results you want to feel refreshed and refueled.
Gary's unique process starts with a diagnostic road test, an intake session, as he calls it.
He learns everything about you, your health history, your injury, where and when and how it happened, what the pain is like, and how much overall stress you have in your life.
Pain is the great communicator!
Don't be so quick to silence it without listening to understand its underlying message first!
More often than not, the messenger is NOT the true culprit.
The one thing EVERY INJURY has in common?

Gary is amazing. His goal is to help and educate people so they can be free of pain and have the best possible quality of life.

For 3 years I suffered from debilitating pain to the point I was bed ridden. I saw doctors at UCSF and Stanford. All I was offered was medications that barely worked and had horrendous side effects.

Neuromuscular sessions with Gary has helped me immensely. Not only did the sessions help my pain which drastically changed the quality of my life. Sharing his knowledge and tips on how to care for my body has educated me on how to help myself take better care of my body.

Gary is knowledgeable, intuitive, thoughtful and caring. He also has a great sense of humor.

I highly recommend Gary and the Massage Garage.
