Understanding Stress and Tension in the Body

Stress is more than mental fatigue — it’s a full-body experience. Chronic stress affects the muscles, nervous system, and overall physical health. Over time, tension can accumulate in the shoulders, neck, jaw, and lower back, showing up as stiffness, pain, headaches, poor sleep, and low energy. Even emotional symptoms like irritability or feeling overwhelmed often trace back to physical tension your body hasn’t released.

At Bomi Massage, we see how untreated stress can disrupt quality of life. That’s why our approach goes beyond temporary relaxation. We use targeted, therapeutic massage to reset your body’s stress response, reduce muscular tightness, and restore ease in your daily movement.

Benefits of Regular Massage for Stress and Tension

How Massage Therapy Helps Reset the System

Chronic stress activates the sympathetic nervous system, keeping your body on high alert and preventing rest, digestion, and healing. Over time, this can cause muscle tension, shallow breathing, chronic fatigue, and even digestive or immune issues. Massage therapy works by gently rebalancing your nervous system, encouraging your body to release tension and re-enter a state of healing.

When your body finally relaxes, your mind follows. Many of our clients find that after just a few sessions, they breathe deeper, sleep better, and feel more capable of handling daily stress, and feel more centered long term. Our goal is not just to make you feel good for an hour — it's to help your body relearn how to stay calm, centered, and pain-free long term.

Testimonials

  • - Carrie Dean

    My first session with Bomi left me in complete awe. His intake is thorough, and his hands on work is exceptional. His technique is specific and results oriented. You don’t see Bomi to zen out take a nap on the massage table-You go see Bomi to free your body of years of chronic tension. I cannot recommend him enough!

  • - Andrea A

    Bomi is fantastic. He's helped me relieve chronic back pain in just a few sessions. The best part of working with Bomi is that the improvements are persistent, unlike with other massage therapists. He's also loosened up my shoulders and neck, which were tight for years from sitting at a desk all day. He's truly the best. You won't find any other massage therapist like him! 

  • - Eliana Lauder

    Bomi was a transformative find for me. All of my pain is gone by the end of each session. His healing intuition is so strong, it's clear it travels through his hands and his heart. His healing is physical and spiritual! I cannot underscore how special Bomi is and how lucky I feel to have found him!

  • - Eunice N.

    Bomi is a miracle worker. I went to see him with a glute injury that had been causing me excruciating pain for over a month, making it difficult for me to sit or walk. With each session, I felt noticeable improvement, and within several weeks, I was completely healed. Bomi's engineering background is evident through his thoughtful and methodical approach to diagnosing the root of the problem. His commitment to the science of therapeutic massage is evident in his technique and his ability to explain what and why he's doing what he's doing. On top of that, he's a fantastic listener and incredibly empathetic. Beyond being the most skilled massage professional I have ever met, it's clear Bomi is also a wonderful and caring human being. I am crushed that Bomi is moving to the East Coast. San Mateo is losing an amazing massage therapist, but I am confident Bomi will continue to help people find health, wellness, and balance no matter where he is.

    “Bomi’s massage therapy is intelligent, compassionate, professional, and healing.  Some of my neck muscles had been rigid and stuck for many years, and he was able to soften and relax them in just a few sessions.  I have also seen his medical massages produce released muscle tension and renewed life in a recovering spinal cord injury.  Bomi’s sensitive hands and intuitive knowledge become a fusion of several modalities and respond beneficially to the needs of his clients. I feel confident that my friends and students can benefit from his excellent work.”

    I'm a washed-up college athlete here. I went to see Bomi for an acute hamstring strain (my desk job has done a number on my posture), and ended up doing a deep dive into all of my lingering neuromuscular problems from years of ankle sprains and general poor training discipline. Bomi is professional, knowledgeable, and extremely attentive. He listens very carefully to build an understanding of your issues and history, and he has an uncanny ability to uncover problems you either didn't know about or had been ignoring. I remember before my first session, I thought the pricing seemed a little expensive, but I would honestly pay at least 2-3 times for what Bomi provides, given the improvement I have seen over about a month and a half. Easy 5 stars, 10/10, A+, etc.

    I brought my 17-year-old son to Bomi to help with his rehabilitation from a recurring high ankle sprain due to football. His injury kept him out of play for most of the season. After Bomi's complete evaluation, he was able to address the issue and explain a game plan to both of us. Two visits later, he was able to play an entire game!! My son was diligent on the home care recommended, and I am sure after the season is over, with rest alongside weekly treatment, he will be as good as new and ready for his other sports! I highly recommend Bomi. He is extremely polite, genuine, and caring. He is also very educated in his field, and you can clearly tell he loves what he does!! I was lucky to have found the perfect person to work with and plan on weekly visits to ensure the best care for my son. 5 STARS!!
