Ocean Relaxing Station — Local services in San Luis Obispo

Wow. If you know plantar fasciitis, you know I haven't taken one step in 8 months without searing, blinding heel pain. I got a one hour foot massage with Jerry at U-Relax SLO last night, and today I woke up to ZERO HEEL PAIN.

ZERO!!!!!!

I'll admit it hurt a lot during, but I was desperate to give anything a chance. Jerry definitely knew what I was talking about when I showed him a diagram of PF on my phone, and he clearly hit all the right spots in my heel. But what really impressed me was how he judiciously balanced both responding to my pain and still accomplishing what needed to happen even though it hurt sometimes.

I've been to 2 doctors, a chiropractor, and at least 5 other foot spas. But they had no effect.

Comment to other reviewers: They start you out sitting up with no back support while working your shoulders/back to allow you to get involved. Try stretching and changing your position in response to what's happening and you'll have a new-found freedom :) It's just a different style.

Now, I'll also admit the music is funny and there's no receptionist... but it's just part of the casual, no-pressure, cooperative, warm, almost family-like vibe they maintain, which I like.

All non-essentials aside, you WILL get a world class massage... and don't forget to communicate your pain and get involved :)

Tears of gratitude to Jerry...

The other day I had hurt my foot and decided to try massage to help the healing process. I was able to get an appointment the same day. When I got there I was met with a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. I chose the 45 minute foot massage and was pleasantly surprised when that included neck, back and arms for the first 15 minutes. At first I was questioning if the girl who was to work on me would have strong enough hands to get deep into where I was hurting, and soon found out she was super strong and the massage was great. My foot actually began to feel better soon after. (I was skeptical). It’s been two days and my foot feels great, no more limping. I’m considering doing this monthly. The prices are very reasonable and the massages are very good. If you are stiff, sore or just want some pampering,...

I had my first visit today and I’m so glad I stumbled upon this place. I have only had traditional Chinese massage in the Bay Area and never thought I would find it in SLO. I had a great experience and got a 60 minute DEEP full body massage with hot stone. Their prices are humble and they are worth a fabulous tip considering the value of the massage and the labor they put into their craft. To be clear, I have had several massages in Grover Beach, Avila, and SLO and no one has come close to addressing my issue areas. I will be coming here moving forward! So so happy with how I felt during and after. Thank you so much! I am looking forward to coming back again and love to support...
