I've been getting massages here for almost 10 years now, I even had a massage on the rooftop during COVID from these wonderful, skillful and magical ladies. I keep coming back out of neccissity as massage, and specifically Ashiatsu massage keeps me active and moving! I play softball, I sit at a desk most of the day, I do high intensity workouts AND I chase littles around on the weekends so my ability to move without pain or restriction is CRITICAL to my life and my adventures. The long, deep strokes of Ashiatsu relieve my shoulders and back in a way that hands just can't as I carry most of my stress in my shoulders. If massage isn't part of your health care routine it should be, I wouldn't be able to function at the capacity I do without it! They also do cupping, couples massage, facials and Reiki which I've also tried and highly recommend trying for yourself.

We were thrilled DCompress found a spot in their schedule for my husband and I to have a couples massage (we were traveling). My therapist was D, and she learned my areas of concern and really worked on them. I was so relaxed afterward, and felt such relief in my problem areas! My husband’s therapist was Christina, and he says she works magic! She uses the perfect combination of soft and firm pressure. He still feels relief from his neck pain several days later. If we lived in the area, we would go back to DCompress regularly! The place has a really nice feel, and the staff is wonderful!!!

I had such a lovely experience at Dcompress. The studio is so serene and clean. Christina was amazing and helped massage out the tightness I carry in my shoulders. I felt so relaxed after and can’t wait for the next appointment!

I had such an amazing experience with DCompress. They are very professional, friendly and attentive. Shout out to Cristina, who gave me a wonderful full body massage. You’re great girl 🫶🏻💕 I’ll for sure be back.

Had the best massage from Christiana. She was attentive to my needs and worked on areas that needed the most worked on. She took her time and loosen up all the knots especially on my shoulders. I’ll be making another appointment with her in the near future.

Had my second Ashiatsu massage with D. and like the first it was outstanding. In addition to being very relaxing, she was able to concentrate on problem areas and adjust pressure for maximum benefit. The massage significantly improved my on going issue with back spasms. Highly recommend. The

Amazing experience. She took the time to ask questions, understand what was going on with my body, and personalize everything. Felt cared for and walked out feeling noticeably better. Easily one of the best massages I’ve received in my life. Highly recommend.

I’ve been going to DCOMPRESS Downtown for almost 10 years now. It is hands down the best massage experience in San Diego. The rooms are perfectly set for a relaxing experience. The masseurs are all excellent, although we have our favorites—Christina and D. I always feel like a million after I leave them. Thank you so much for your many dedicated years of the best massages I could ask for!

★★★★★★★★★★Sara PolczynskiNov 2025

I just tried the newest treatment at Dcompress, Ashiatsu. What an incredible experience! This is a deep tissue massage performed by D, the owner of the studio, using her feet instead of her hands. It is an incredibly effective technique that produces an incredible feeling that covers a wider surface area of the body at one time providing you with a truly relaxing deep tissue massage. The room is set up to be incredibly comfortable with a soft cushioned table. You are able to pick the music of your choice and then the magic happens. She was able to work on my problem areas in a more effective way than traditional massage techniques. I left feeling great and invigorated. I can't wait to try it again.

As a dad of a ten-month-old, I finally booked a massage with Christina—and wow, what a relief. After months of stress, I left feeling lighter, more centered, and genuinely relaxed. Christina has a perfect touch and a calming, welcoming space that makes it easy to let go and unwind. If you need to decompress, book now—you’ll thank me later. Christina, you have no idea how much I needed last weekend. See you next week!
