Body Assist Massage — Local Services | Serving San Diego & beyond

Body Assist Massage was established in 2019 by Christopher Sanchez after receiving his massage certification. His vision was to promote massage as a form of healing and to change the idea of it being an expensive luxury. He wanted his practice to be seen as a form of alternative medicine. He identified his style as medical massage which incorporated rehabilitation, pain relief, and other healing techniques.

Prior to massage therapy, he attended San Diego State University. There, he studied kinesiology and received a bachelor’s degree in food and nutrition. After looking at many nutrition jobs, there was nothing that interested him. Instead, he discovered massage therapy and soon found the school that most interested him. While attending Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, he was amazed at their techniques and theories. He realized that he could incorporate his nutritional and kinesiology background to create his own unique massage therapy practice.
