ESPIRITUSANTO MASSAGE

I am deeply grateful for the care and healing I’ve received at Espiritusanto Massage. At 33, I unexpectedly needed four surgeries in one year—including two back surgeries and two shoulder surgeries—the most physically and emotionally challenging year of my life. If it weren’t for my physical therapy and the work I did with Ludwig at Espiritusanto Massage, I truly don’t believe I would have healed the way I did. I saw Ludwig weekly, and it expedited my recovery—especially after back and shoulder surgery. His ability to intuit exactly where your body is holding tension, pain, or stress is nothing short of otherworldly. These aren’t light, feel-good massages—his work is intentional, therapeutic, and focused on true healing. Some sessions were intense, but always exactly what my body needed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the absolute pleasure of receiving a 90-minute Swedish massage from Ludwig, the owner of Espiritusanto Massage, and it was everything I needed and more. From the moment I stepped into the space on Main Street in downtown Pleasanton, I felt welcomed, safe, and at peace. Ludwig cultivates such a calming, professional, and respectful environment—perfect for truly letting go and being present in the experience. This was my first visit, a birthday treat to myself, and it couldn’t have been a better gift. Every movement felt intentional, intuitive, and deeply restorative. I left feeling relaxed, recharged, and already looking forward to the next session. I’ll definitely be rescheduling monthly—this place is a gem.

If you are hard on your body, you get stressed and/or just need some effective body recovery and repair time, then Ludwig is your person. He knows the body’s neuromuscular structure and function extremely well. He finds muscles that need attention better than I can tell him where I need it. Seriously… best massage for your body that you will experience. It’s totally worth a try. I’ve made many referrals who agree with me. Everyone needs to recover, repair, rejuvenate and relax.

Ludwig is a very talented massage therapist. He isn't your typical 'spa day'. He gets how the muscles work and knows how to get out knots and kinks. He has expertise working on all kinds of things from Achilles tendinitis, sore backs, carpal tunnel, etc. Honestly I cannot recommend him enough and how terrific he is!

Ludwig is a wonderfully skilled massage therapist. He performed a trigger point massage on my neck, shoulders and back and was able to loosen up several areas that needed attention. He communicated with me during the massage to ensure that the pressure was neither to light or too hard. For the person who wants to stay healthy and fit, I would recommend Ludwig to anyone who wants to feel good. My neck and shoulders were much, much better after he was done!
