Gilbert Mendez

“They are very skilled and my pain has been significantly reduced”

“I started coming to Massage Revolution 1/13/19 for knee pain and Achilles pain, that I had for 3 years. I saw 6 other practitioners for help, 1 M.D., 3 PT’s, UCLA surgery dept (I didn’t have surgery) and a chiropractor. My normal life was interrupted due to chronic pain, limiting physical activities but avoiding those activities led to weakness and tightness. In 5 treatments or so, results became apparent. Massages from Massage Revolution have helped me begin to overcome tightness that has contributed to my knee and Achilles pain. Two therapists in particular made an immediate impact. They are very skilled and my pain has been significantly reduced. They were also great at communicating with me about how my muscles felt so that I could focus on things like foam rolling between massages.”

Jane Evans, Culver City

“Alleviated back, neck, shoulder and knee pains caused from two different car accidents”

Dave Gatlin, Writer, Los Angeles/Redondo Beach

“I felt results instantly. 95% of the time, my pain goes away and I immediately feel relief”

“I started at Massage Revolution’s Back & Neck Relief Center in 2013 for relief from stress. I felt results instantly. 95% of the time, my pain goes away and I immediately feel relief”.

Melisa Kaufman, Redondo Beach

“I felt results in my initial treatment and continual treatment…Their training is great!”

“I started 6-8 years ago at Massage Revolution’s Back & Neck Relief Center, with chronic back issues…my neck was solid as a rock! I had this problem for 25 years, saw 3 other doctors, my normal life was uncomfortable. I felt results in my initial treatment and continual treatment. I come twice a month, helps me with physical, medical, and spiritual well being. My energy is incredible, several favorite therapists, always try out therapists, you can’t go wrong. Their training is great!

Paula Barksdale, Hermosa Beach

“Due to the treatment, I was able to resume my normal life much quicker”

“I started coming to The Back & Neck Relief Center 10/1/15, as my physician diagnosed me with whiplash and muscle spasms, which I had for 8 weeks. I saw 2 doctors for this condition. Until I started myofascial release treatments [at Massage Revolution’s Back/Neck Relief Center], my normal life was interrupted. Daily, around 4pm or 5pm, I experienced severe pain in my rib cage due to the muscle spasms. Physical therapy was not addressing this pain. I experienced a reduction in pain within one week from starting myofascial release treatments. The health benefits of the myofascial release treatment I received from The Back & Neck Relief Center was critical to my healing. I truly believe if it was not for the treatment I received at the center, the healing process would have taken much longer. Due to the treatment, I was able to resume my normal life much quicker. I would recommend [Massage Revolution’s] The Back & Neck Relief Center to anyone that has been involved in an auto accident. They were instrumental in getting me back to my normal health.”

Brian Chang, Redondo Beach

“Took 1 treatment before results became apparent”

“I started at Massage Revolution 1/17/19 for back tightness and pain, tried ibuprofen, yet took 1 treatment before results became apparent. Therapists are incredible, life changing! I will be back!”

Kelley Johnson, Manhattan Beach

“My pain level has gotten better”

“I started at Massage Revolution in June 2017 for lower back/neck pain, IT band problems, I had for 5 years. I went to 2-3 doctors for this. The pain used to be severe enough that I couldn’t do my normal daily routine. It was approximately 1-2 months of treatments before results became apparent. I have been very impressed with the care I have received here. My pain level has gotten better. The therapists here are fantastic. There are different therapists that specialize in different types of massages, so there are many treatment options.”

Lauren Braman, Torrance

81 year old says “It allows me to regularly play tennis, power walk for a distance and workout at the gym, without joint pain or muscle soreness”

“I started at Massage Revolution in April 2014. I do massage therapy not because of ailments but as general maintenance. I am a very active senior citizen so I use massage therapy to get the knots out, the muscles smooth and the joints loose. I do a 1 ½ hour deep tissue massage every week.. When I skip a visit, I can feel the difference. I have been doing weekly massages for 15 years, and I am convinced that it allows me to regularly play tennis, power walk for a distance and workout at the gym, without joint pain or muscle soreness not related to overuse. I generally sleep well and move around on the court way better than my peers. I find the Massage Revolution therapists to be very competent, knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive to my needs. I regularly use three therapists in a weekly rotation. As each has different strengths, ie; back, legs, etc., I get all of the parts fully attended to and I feel great.
P.S: I am 81 years old”.

PE Dorr

“After 4 treatments, results became apparent…increased my mobility in my hip…less pain…better sleep”

“I started at Massage Revolution in August 2018 with pain in my right hip that wrapped around to my groin that lasted for 6 years. I saw 4 doctors and took lots of Advil. I was able to do things, but always in pain. Also, the pain interrupted my sleep. After 4 treatments at Massage Revolution, results became apparent. I have increased my mobility in my hip. I have less pain overall and better sleep. I finally feel like I’m going to be totally healed”.

Imoye Francis

“The neuromuscular massage therapy provided is second to none”

“I started massage care at Massage Revolution in May 2015 with low back, neck pain, headaches, achilles tendonitis, and sciatica for the past three years. I saw two doctors, three other massage therapists, and 1 physical therapist. My life was interrupted competing as an athlete… my ability to compete at a high level was non-existant until beginning my therapy at Massage Revolution. The balance of consistent therapy allowed me to return to the track to compete at the Military World Championship and a number of other international competitions The neuromuscular massage therapy provided at Massage Revolution is second to none”.

Manny Smith

“The massages really helped me with my neck issues”

“I started Massage Revolution in 2015. For approximately three months, I had a really stiff neck from all the tension carried in my neck and shoulders. I couldn’t turn my head to look to the left. I had a hard time driving because I couldn’t turn my head. Within the first month of treatment, I could see a big improvement in the stiffness of my neck and shoulders. The massages really helped me with my neck issues. I feel wonderful every time I leave after my massage!”

Anonymous, Torrance

“After 2 treatments, I felt results. I feel so much better”

“I started care at Massage Revolution in November 2018 with right sided pain, especially glute and hip pain, I had for a year, preventing me from increasing my squat! After 2 treatments, I felt results. I feel so much better and it has improved my sleep and quality of exercise”.

Lorraine Rojas, Redondo Beach

“Getting relief at Massage Revolution was the only thing that kept me going”

“I love the neuromuscular massages!”

“I love the neuromuscular massages! Of all the places I’ve been for massages and different types I’ve had, it is by far my favorite. Your office is not the closest to me, but it is my regular choice. And the staff and massage therapists are great”.

Peggy Brown, Los Angeles

“These are the best massages I have ever gotten and help relieve pain from everyday stress and workouts”

“I have been coming to Massage Revolution for several years (2007) and I love it! Every therapist is professional, knowledgeable, and skilled. These are the best massages I have ever gotten and help relieve pain from everyday stress and workouts. I get a massage every weekend, and the prices are great too!”

Marilyn Mobey, Manhattan Beach

“Results were immediately apparent with improvement in comfort, range of motion, and function”

“I’ve been coming to Massage Revolution for the past 6 months with degenerative disk disease, neck and back pain, and muscle spasms, that I’ve had for many years that progressively got worse with age. I tried seeing two doctors, chiropractors, massages, and taking ibuprofen/mobic. My life was significantly interrupted due to this. I needed to cut out aerobics, weight training, and aggressive exercise, and cut work hours. After coming to Massage Revolution, results were immediately apparent with improvement in comfort, range of motion, and function. I was able to also resume some exercise and dance. The staff at Massage Revolution is helpful in researching my insurance benefits to ensure that I can receive services. Very nice and attentive for a busy place!”

Barbara Phillips

“They relieved my pain and helped from getting surgery”

“I started at Massage Revolution in November 2017 to treat my shoulder and back pain that I experienced for 5 years. I saw two other doctors for this, but my life was interrupted a moderate amount at work. After only two months of treatment at Massage Revolution, results became apparent. I had a great impression! They relieved my pain and helped from getting surgery.”

P. Cloud

"Before Massage Revolution, I knew I needed weekly massages, but struggled to fit it into my busy schedule. When I found Massage Revolution, I discovered much more availability and flexibility to fit massage around my schedule instead of fitting my schedule around massage".

Lisa Acker, Business Owner, Manhattan Beach

Neck Pain Relief

“I regained my range of motion, with no more pain while at my work desk!

“I started at Massage Revolution in February 2018 with shoulder, neck pain and stiffness, which I was having for the past 3-6 months. I tried physical therapy, but it was still difficult to raise my arm, and I still had nerve pain at my work desk. After 2 months of weekly to bi-weekly appointments at Massage Revolution, I regained my range of motion, with no more pain while at my work desk! The staff at Massage Revolution is great at giving “homework” to ensure the results they give are sustained, even if you miss a session. They’re fantastic!”

Tracy Goudy

“They lengthen the muscles, relieve the tension and find the source of the problem”

“I started coming to Massage Revolution in November 2014 with 3 years of tightness in the left side of my neck, hip, and back due to swimming on my masters swim team. I tried seeing chiropractors and acupuncturists but sitting at my desk was still uncomfortable and tight muscles always apparent. After 10 visits, I find the massages specifically to be exactly what I need. They lengthen the muscles, relieve the tension and find the source of the problem. When the massages were covered by my insurance, I came 4x times per month! Now down to one time, but absolutely worth it!”

Stephanie Olan

I never slept, sitting hurt, and everyday was a struggle…My first session helped relieve the pain!

“I started coming to Massage Revolution in November 2018 with severe SI Joint/Q.L.pain, neck and shoulder pain, TMJ, and tension for over a year, and spent 13+ years else where trying to treat these conditions. I never slept, sitting hurt, and everyday was as struggle for the pain not to take over. My first session helped relieve the pain, and each session helps… Massage Revolution has great choices in massages, and the neuromuscular massages really benefit me. Love that insurance helps too. Therapistis really good and trained well to listen to your needs. So glad I found you- right under my nose.”

“Not only physically do I feel better, but also mentally”

“I started coming to Massage Revolution in 2016 to treat my neck pain, trigger points, back pain, tightness and weakness that I experienced for years. I sought out chiropractors and other massage places, but sleep was still difficult. Turning and lifting my head, and stretching my neck was all painful and difficult. After a year of treatment,I have felt less tension in my neck and back, and I feel more relaxed and calm. Not only physically do I feel better, but also mentally. Thank you so much for all that you guys do. Definitely life changing”.

Melanie Mitchell

After 4+ visits to Massage Revolution, results became apparent. It made the pain more bearable- I needed less time with doctors, less injections in my back or thigh.

Every person is different, but these stories reflect what is commonly possible when the root cause of pain is properly addressed.

Our goal is always to help you achieve meaningful, lasting improvement—not just temporary relief.

Clients come in for a wide range of issues, including:

  • chronic muscle tightness and stress

We also see many clients who simply want to relax, recover, and feel amazing.
