Wow! Karen and her hands of golden warmth and sonar (they find every knot), Karen really knows how to make the tension just melt away- like a cold stick of butter from the fridge does when placed in a window under the sun.
I love that she can just look at you and figure out what's going on for you and adjust it. I sometimes leave her office a half inch taller (no JOKE!). She's Incredibly skilled, warm hearted to boot and in my book, with a wonderful sense of humor! -

I'm a little skeptical about the methodology/phenomenology of body work , though body workers clearly are on to something and can successfully address joint/muscle/connective tissues issues that traditional western medicine is very hard put to even diagnose.
In any event, I was in a bad way with a knee problem that surfaced a little while after stopping dance class (go figure). The problem was getting worse the longer I rested it.
I tried Gramberg simply because she works out of the same building I'm in, and I was panicking over the state of things and wanted to see someone right away.
To make a longer story not so long, my knee immediately and dramatically responded. Very hard for me to see it as a coincidence. I've never had that dramatic response after seeing a body worker before.
I've since seen her twice more, both times with good results.
She's a warm, thoughtful, intellectual practitioner with a very good touch. I could not recommend her more. -

I can't wait for my next massage!! Karen is fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable and very skilled in massage therapy. This is the best massage I've ever had and I have had many!
I highly recommend her. -

I have been going to Karen for 4 years after being in a violent car accident. I would give her 10 stars if Yelp would allow it.
She really listens. This has been the best experience with massage I've had whether the visit was theraputical for the injury or stress relief from the everyday rat race. -

Karen is one of my teachers at San Francisco School of Massage and when we had our arms and hands class, I asked her about my sore wrist. She gave me a bit of advice and I decided to schedule a session with her.
Her space at ActivSpace is really cute - warm and cozy with some great interior touches. Her sheets are SUPER soft too (bonus).
This was the first massage where I never shivered on the table and it was COOLD outside that night.
My wrist hasn't felt this good in a long time - she totally fixed it. I have my own work to do on it but she really worked a lot of the tension out of it.
She also stayed a little later with me and showed me some great exercises I can do to help engage my core while riding my bike and since I'm training for the lifecycle ride ( http://www.tofighthiv.... ), this is very important.
She's also an excellent teacher! -

Overall an amazing experience. I came in with lower back pain and EXTREME tightness in my hamstring. She had a great approach, spending time to discuss the issue and show me posture improvements and stretches. It helped somewhat and when she called two days later I told her it was still painful. She made an exception to fit me in for a second session when she wasn't normally open, spent another 45 minutes on the same issue and it has now been 100% fine for almost two months! I appreciated her customer focus, great skills and patience. Overall a great experience!

Karen is a relaxing masseuse and an excellent body worker. I started going to her right after my shoulder surgery. My surgeon had just told me that my physical therapist was crap and I was on my way to a "frozen shoulder". While waiting a few weeks to get into a new PT, I went to Karen to help loosen up my arm. She did amazing work and gave me some at home exercises. When I finally got into the PT, he was surprised at how much better I was doing then the surgeon's note implied. Plus, her warm massage table and little office is very cozy and relaxing. She has an amazing positive energy and makes you feel instantly at home.
