As a working acupuncturist I have tried many different massage/bodywork modalities. Nothing compares to Joel Hillman's Barefoot Bodywork. It is deep, specific and very satisfying. The patients who I have referred to him also rave about his work and they report significant pain relief and healing from injuries. More...

Joel Hillman compressive therapy is truly the best massage therapy I have had!!! He eliminated my low back and shoulder pain which I had lived with for years. He also helped reduce my wife's hip and knee pains. He does incredible work and I strongly recommend a session with Joel!!! More...

Joel was able to locate the areas in my body that were causing me pain, and with care, is helping bring them back to a pain free place. He is not a cookie cutter masseur that does the same routine on everyone, he focuses on The areas of your body that need to be fixed. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love helping people get out of pain, healing of injuries and improving athletic performance.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was fortunate to learn a form or therapeutic bodywork that really works, not just another regular massage. Having quite a bit of success with clients who then referred other clients, I did
not need to work for someone else and could maintain my own successful practice here in Marin.
Why should our clients choose you?
Barefoot compression massage is deep, specific and the benefits last. The work is done fully clothed and the first session is guaranteed. If you don't feel great, there is no charge (no problem).
In 23 years, no on has not loved it, so I feel very comfortable giving this guarantee.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I no longer do house calls and only work with clients in my treatment office.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Very covid safe. Actually, compression massage is very good for the immune system and it moves the lymphatic fluid around, moves the blood round and reduces stress. Science has proven that stress is detrimental to the immune system.

Workshops and classes
I teach classes and lead workshops in Barefoot Deep Tissue Bodywork. Most of my students are either massage students or professional massage therapists who have pain in their thumbs, hands, back or all three or are injured from too many years of massage. I teach them how to use their feet and save their hands.
