I have had many different styles of massage and thai massage has been the most effective for me. I work out 5 to 6 days a week, weight training, core training, yoga, pilates, and my muscles get very tight. JSM Bodywork has saved me from discomfort as well as injury by me getting a thai massage every month. I LOVE the atmosphere and especially all the technicians. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I spent some time in Thailand last year and got numerous massages there, and this place gives a genuine Thai massage, a good value for the money They let me bring my longboard into the office so I would'nt stress about having it stolen out of my truck. The setup is typical - futon mats separated by curtains, which is typical in Thailand. Massage was very thorough and she gave me more than an hour. This was also done on a "dropin basis" I was driving by the building and saw their banner, called, and I was in! Atmosphere was quiet, serene, and professional, with sounds of nature and water, no heavy scents or incense. I got exactly what I wanted, and recommend them fully. This is the real deal if you are looking for Thai massage.

This place consistently delivers an awesome massage! The massage therapists are amazing...they really know how to read your body and work out the knots. They offer Thai massage and Reflexology. And, not that it matters, but I think the therapists are actually from Thailand. If you prefer a soft and gentle massage, I don't think this is for you. But if you like deep tissue, this is probably more your style.
When I was waiting for my massage, I overheard another customer say that he himself was a massage therapist and that he works at the Golden Door Spa. A coworker had recommended JSM. If you haven't heard of Golden Door, they are a world famous spa/resort which has received awards from Zagat, Travel + Leisure, Conde Naste...and has a long list of celebrity visitors. Anyway, if JSM Massage is good enough for the massage therapists at the Golden Door...it's good enough for me!
The building where JSM Boydworks is located looks "suspicious." I'm not sure how else to describe it. But don't let that scare you away. Inside you will find your happy place! -

Highly Recommended!
5 stars for relaxation, great massage and great people that run the place. I've been going here for about 2 years and they never let me down. If your looking for an authentic thai massage in San Diego this is a great place to go.
Ask for Jocelyn, they have a membership plan that will get you hour messages for 45$. -

JSM is my favorite place for a therapeutic massage! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. They combine stretching and deep tissue massage to help their patients. Both my husband and I go here and he has fallen asleep during a deep tissue session.
I had serious shoulder pain from working on the computer and after one session, I could feel the tension slowly slipping away. I used to go every 2 weeks, but as the pain has subsided, I go in monthly for maintenance purposes only. I recommend JSM Bodyworks! -

4.5. rounded down to a 4 because if you only come here once in a while it is pricey.
I didn't come here to relax, but to get rid of knots and really tight back muscles. I knew this place had "authentic" thai, not the american thai teachings that it popular in western culture. This is the place to go for therapy because they do pay attention to meridians and zen lines etc. Do not come here if you are looking to fall asleep though. This is pure muscle work which was my goal and was accomplished.Comment from JSM B. of JSM Bodywork 12/8/2009
Thank you for your review and continuing patronage. At JSM… More » -

The masseuses here are fabulous and well worth the money. However, I have had to stop coming here because the owner is a nut who would harass me every time I came in. On my first visit, she brought up politics and I said I was a liberal. From then on, every time I came in, she would go off on political diatribes where she would insult me and ridicule my beliefs. The last thing someone wants to do is talk politics when getting a massage, but she was relentless and wouldn't let it drop. And she has told me I am not the first person she has run off with such behavior
UPDATE: The owner read my review and called me screaming at the top of her longs, demanding to know why I said she harassed me (she had my number on file). I told her not to ever call me again and hung up. She then called over and over and over again -- not comprehending that she was YET AGAIN HARASSING ME! -

one of the best massages i've gotten, and i've gotten a lot. my masseuse found the perfect amount of strength to use, right between pleasure and pain. it was a morning well spent.
the place is a bit small, and there are no individual rooms; the beds are separated by curtains. i went on a quiet morning, though, so it was fine. i like that they don't rub you down with gallons of oil, like other Thai massage places. my only real issue was the price: $75 is a tad steep. with tip, you're looking at close to a hundred. that said, i've gotten $100 plus massages at swanky Vegas hotels that don't even compare to this experience. -

JSM is a great place to get a great massage. Very relaxing AND therapeutic. I am a Chiropractor and have sent several of my patients here and they have all been very happy. I think their style of massage, which incorporates stretching and movement (they do it for you) along with the massage is an amazing style of therapeutic massage. I highly recommend them.

Authentic and satisfying! Thai massage is a distinct type of massage that I personally enjoy a lot. It combines pressure points (with point pressure and broad pressure) with muscle manipulation - kind of like having yoga performed on you. I think it's great, and these guys do a great job.
In addition to a great massage, they do some nice touches. You know how you fill out a form at every massage parlor that asks how you found out about them, if you have any medical conditions, etc.... You do that here too, except you do that while your feet are being warmed in one of those water-jet foot massagers. -

I actually decided to try this place because of the favorable yelper reviews and it was close to home. I concur, this is a great place for a massage. No frills, but very clean. My masseuse, Nali, a soft-spoken woman, was polite and cordial. Very professional - she inquired a few times if the pressure was too much or too little. And she worked the Thai massage technique wonderfully. Much more satisfying experience than the fufu places I've gone to in the past. I'll definitely patronize JSM Bodywork's again.

the best little hole in the wall place to relax and rejuvenate your body! i have had countless places i have tried and have not solved the problem of back pains and neck aches. they have taken away a lot of the pain and theraputically fixed me. i always refer my friends and my own clients here.
