Established in 1981 with one room, F. Joseph Smith’s Massage Therapy Center now offers six massage rooms, two outdoor hot tubs and a sauna. Owner F. Joseph Smith has been a masseur since 1974, a massage instructor since 1977, and has developed his own form of advanced bodywork he calls Smithing. He was one of the co-founders of the Massage Program at North American College of Health Sciences, the first thousand-hour massage therapy course approved by the American Massage Therapy Association in Northern California.

Creating a space where people can feel relaxed and pampered, the Center offers therapists who are proficient in all modes and techniques of massage and bodywork, including Swedish massage, lymphatic massage, accupressure, shiatsu, prenatal massage, sports therapy, and cranio-sacral therapy. Massages are guaranteed to be relaxing and satisfying.

Each of the Center’s two hot tubs is shaded by redwood trees, enclosed by ivy-covered walls and surrounded by a small deck. The hot tubs as well as the indoor wet or dry cedar sauna are available for softening your muscles before a massage or for simply relaxing any time.

COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
“Every therapist provides an excellent massage that’s both relaxing and satisfying. I believe that a simple, ‘thank you,’ is the nicest thing anyone can say as long as it’s sincere, so we’re careful to thank each client after a massage.”
