“My range of motion improved remarkably during the session, and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t wake up with noticeably tight hips.”
“I have chronic pain in my lower back and I have to say this is the first massage I've ever felt where I experienced more long term benefits past the initial appointment date.”
“Diana made me feel comfortable, addressed the shoulder issue I was having very thoroughly and gave me some good stretches to on my own to further help with recovery.”

From the reviews
Found my new favorite bodywork spot in the East Bay! Diana was absolutely incredible. I live with pretty severe TMJ and chronic pain in my jaw, neck, and head, and I left feeling noticeably better🥹🥹🥹. I’ve been to a million practitioners and I feel lucky to have found Diana.
Diana is absolutely amazing! She has excellent bedside manner with a firm and comfortable touch. I am a runner and I came in with nagging aches in certain parts of my body. She tailored the session to my preferences and checked in with me to make sure everything felt right.
Strategic Bodywork has such skilled and professional bodyworkers. The therapists are knowledgeable, kind and engaged from beginning to end. Today I received a 60 minute neuromuscular massage from Nehal. Nehal made me feel very safe.
This was my first time to Strategic Bodywork and I will definitely be coming back! Diana was very cordial and attentive to my needs, starting with a conversation about my various ailments and continuing throughout the massage.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
