About

Every session at Honest Bodywork begins with a targeted consultation assessment—no generic intake questions—before therapists spend the full appointment addressing the root cause of a client&s pain at 2180 Garnet Ave Suite 2G in the 92109. Owner Andrew "Dru" Arboleda founded the practice in 2010 and incorporated it as Honest Bodywork Inc in 2018, building a team after realizing in 2016 that his client demand had outgrown a solo operation. The BBB gives the business an A+ rating and lists 15 years of continuous operation, with Arboleda named as the principal contact. The clinic shares a building with Bodywork by Masha, making 2180 Garnet a two-suite hub for specialized therapeutic bodywork in Pacific Beach. Honest Bodywork&s 5.0-star Google rating spans 356 reviews, the highest review count of any independent massage practice in the 92109. Therapists Eric, Tucker, Kacey, Rebecca, and Ben are each named in dozens of five-star posts, with Eric frequently credited for resolving chronic neck and shoulder tension from rowing and lifting injuries. The practice focuses exclusively on therapeutic deep-tissue modalities—active release, trigger-point therapy, and postural correction—and does not offer Swedish or relaxation-style massage. Clients receive take-home guidance including specific stretches, exercises, and self-massage techniques tailored to their condition. Those looking to add recovery-focused wellness alongside their bodywork schedule can explore treatments at Longevity Lounge, another PB studio specializing in restorative services. Booking is handled online, and appointments are available Monday through Saturday with evening hours extending to 9 p.m. on select weekdays.
