I was referred here as I was looking for a massage therapist that could really help work out a few of my kinks.  I a fitness instructor and tend to overwork certain body parts.

To say that I was blown away is an understatement.  I spent one hour with Nathalie and she was incredible.  Now, let's be clear.  If you are looking for a massage where you can sit by the spa, sip tea, read a magazine, and have a mild massage like at the huge spas, this isn't your cup of tea.

However, for those looking for a comprehensive massage to really get your body working at it's full potential, this is the place.  Nathalie spent a long time analyizing my body, my posture, and sent me home with 5 exercises to further help my troubled areas.  I felt like Humpty Dumpty.  She picked my muscles apart and put them back together.  
I was incredibly impressed and give this place a two thumbs up.

I've heard great things about the other massage therapists, but haven't experienced them first hand.  I'm sure that everyone there is great!

Nathalie also specializes in prenatal massage.  

I'm hooked and going back for more!

I came here after being recommended by a coworker and because the one review they got was from a therapist I went to some months ago from Ascent who was mediocre at best and negative.
I have been twice to Athletes Advantage and my therapist was amazing. She listened to my issues and I literally walked out feeling like I was walking on a cloud. She called to follow up on how I was doing. I saw her the following week and she completely made my neck spasms go away from working behind computers all day. This places SNAPS!

I use to come on a weekly basis and Tim is good. He is able to put the right amount of pressure where its necessary. I would highly recommend it for parents especially for gifts.

If you are a recreational weekend warrior or a serious competitive athlete, this is the place for you!  Patti Salinas is an amazing, knowledgeable therapists who goes right to the spots of your deep muscle tension to loosen them up for better performance and reduction of pain. I have found my secret ammunition for staying healthy and fit through her deep tissue therapy targeting my specific needs rather than the all-over, where-ever feel-good spa massage. This is better than a visit to a doctor!!

After reading the Yelp reviews, I decided to try Athlete's Advantage for my back pain. Patty asked many questions to better understand my problem and then really helped untangle my areas of pain. She also provided me examples of stretching that I can use at home. I feel so much better and will definitively go back.

Not sure what disgruntled ex-employee gave a "1-star" to this place. I agreed with the other reviewers. Tim, Nathalie, and Agnes are all amazing. This is the only place my husband and I go to fix my problems. We use different therapists at Athlete's Advantage. This is not a relaxation massage place. If you have real pains and injuries, they will help you to identify the root cause and fix it. When my pain got really bad, they gave me recommendations, exercises, and even sent me to another place to fix my posture so I don't have to go to massages as often, which means they actually rather fix my problem than make money off me. I tried many other massage places in mountain view, palo alto, los altos, los gatos, and san jose before finding this place. Athlete's Advantage fixes what my physio therapist and chiropractor couldn't. Honest and professional, a real therapeutic place.
