YOUU-NESS — Local services in San Luis Obispo

I went to Youuness to get work done on my body due to pain. Ive been having pain mostly on the right side of my back/shoulder/traps area, right Tricep and many other places but these were the priority. I enjoy powerlifting, cycling and running which gives my body a lot of wear and tear. I am very much use to the sports massage/deep tissue style of being dug into and feeling pain throughout the session to the point of feeling lightheaded. Coming to Youuness was a different experience. I had got work done by Summer and had my first experience with Myofascial Release (MFR). I was skeptical at first as I knew nothing of MFR and was use to the rough and tough massage. Admittedly, MFR was making me question things at first. However, Summer was excellent in explaining what MFR was, how it works, why she recommends and uses it. The massage its self had some pain which was normal considering the shape my body was in but overall the massage was great! Summer helped not only with my immediate concerns but worked with me to figure out how I can improve my daily living to prevent something like this from happening again. Additionally, she showed me stretches I can do to help connect and correct my body. Afterwards, I was not sore like I usually am when getting work done to but, to my genuine surprise, I felt MUCH better. I am writing this review the next day because I wanted to see how my body felt after getting rest. Waking up, there was some soreness which I expected. However, I found that my body did feel so much better. Better than I had expect if I am being honest. I was able to do tricep stretches without feeling pain in my shoulder and my back/traps/neck area appears and feels much better. Currently I do not feel pain or tension. I can honestly say I am without a doubt happy with this service and have already made an appointment to come back. I highly recommend this place, especially if you are little active or put your body through...

Eunice is a lifesaver. She fit me into her very full schedule and even gave up her day off to address my chronic and worsening problem. After just 5 sessions, she had me back into my routine and had me pain free for the first time in decades. ART was recommended to me by an orthopedic surgeon as an initial step in finding a solution to my chronic back problems. Eunice worked through a myriad of old injuries that had cascaded me into a significant level of pain and was severely limiting my range of motion. While I still have more work to do, the significant improvements in my physical abilities have me looking forward to even greater capabilities. Eunice is very professional, knowledgable, focused, thoughtful, and kind. She listened to me, analyzed my skeletal and muscular symptoms, and defined a path of action. She worked very hard. Honestly, I was quite sore. But it paid off....

I first met Eunice when she was providing complimentary post race massages at the Tent City Marathon in Atascadero. She was very friendly, professional, courteous, welcoming, and the massage felt great! Since I was in training for a 100 mile race, I decided to begin weekly message/active release sessions to “work out the kinks”. Eunice always asked what areas needed specific attention and never gave a generic treatment; every session was customized to my specific needs. Another awesome thing about Eunice is her genuine hospitality; she truly cares about your well-being and is interested in learning about the activities you are doing. In the end, I found not only an amazing massage therapist, but a friend as well. Due in part to her services, I was able to finish the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run with a 2 hour PR! I look forward to utilizing her services again...
