Expert Massage Therapy in Oakland, CA
I established 4to7 Massage with the goal of combining my two decades of experience in corporate facility management with my passion for holistic wellness. After recognizing the profound benefits of massage therapy, I transitioned from managing ergonomics and public safety programs to becoming a licensed massage therapist through the National Holistic Institute.

I work closely with clients to understand their unique needs, whether they require therapeutic pressure adjustments or specialized techniques like myofascial therapy. The name '4to7 Massage' reflects my commitment to achieving optimal results within the therapeutic pressure range of 4 - 7 on a 10-point scale.I prioritize client education to ensure everyone understands how these treatments contribute to long-term health benefits.

Services
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage maximizes relaxation through fluid strokes tailored to individual comfort levels. This therapy improves circulation, reduces stress hormones, and enhances sleep quality. Ideal for first-time clients or those seeking general wellness maintenance through gentle, rhythmic pressure techniques.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage targets chronic muscle tension using focused pressure on specific areas. This technique breaks up adhesions, improves posture alignment, and accelerates injury recovery. Combines therapeutic stretching with concentrated work on high-tension zones identified during initial consultation.
Myofascial Therapy
Myofascial Therapy addresses restricted joint movement caused by tight connective tissues. Gradual sustained pressure releases fascial restrictions, restores natural range of motion, and prevents compensatory muscle strain. Particularly effective for repetitive motion injuries and postural imbalances.
Comfort Massage
Comfort Massage prioritizes compassionate touch with light yet purposeful pressure. Designed to ease emotional stress through soothing contact, this therapy fosters mental calmness while gently maintaining muscular flexibility for overall emotional well-being.

Kevin took time to ask me what my needs were and went above and beyond to work on my problem areas. Gave great advice and his massage techniques were fantastic. I made a future appointment on the spot to continue working on my pain and tension. Thanks Kevin!

Kevin made me feel comfortable and heard when explaining my treatment goals. He answered all of my questions thoughtfully and made my experience feel like his top priority. I will certainly be returning not only for his hospitality but for his professionalism as well. Thank you Kevin!

Kevin does consistently deep and sensitive work and has done so with me for over two years. Kevin is unlike other therapists who give you a great massage the first few visits and then fail to deliver at 100%. Kevin has given 100% every single massage. He is also uncannily intuitive in finding those spots that need the extra work. I leave refreshed and the massage lasts for at least a week. It doesn't just feel good on that day, the massage results in me sleeping more soundly, experiencing less repetitive stress issues at work, and, best of all, gives me an ability to do all that intense

Kevin does a great job at hearing and feeling where the problem areas are and digging in. He's friendly and makes you feel comfortable in his space. Good covid procedures, too. All I can say today my neck isn't killing me anymore!
