I have been seeing Latika regularly for years at this point. I have a back injury and Latika keeps me up and running without much other intervention necessary.( Maybe the occasional chiropractor visit.) She is so knowledgeable! Don't let her small stature fool you, she is a beast and very strong. She is able to work out the toughest, biggest, deepest muscle tension. Check her out! She's the best. read more

Latika at Better Body Recovery 1 word. Amazing I've been wanting to come here for the past several years but just never made the time. Booked for 1 hour massage Focused on upper back. She helped loosen my upper back muscles and neck. Feels like 10 pounds off my shoulders. I still need a few more sessions to correct my bad posture and knots from sitting at a desk for long hours. 10/10 massage and I feel amazing . Location: is great. Central San Diego Atmosphere: relaxing and very clean Communication: A+ + her little dog is awesome. She explained how my muscles have been tight and why my shoulders are not aligned. With a few more sessions I will see the muscles corrected. If you are looking to get tight muscles loosened, immediately feel better blood circulation and even breathing easier. This is the spot. Already booked my next session. read more

There should be two extra stars added for her reviews. Nothing short of amazing! Her facility is pristine. You can't call this a massage, it's an experience to say the least. She uses multiple methods of getting to the problem areas, from full deep tissue massage to cupping and scraping... If your looking for a fluffy angelic massage probably not the place all though I'm sure she is more than capable. I highly recommend her to anyone that has a body that needs a next level full body treatment. George read more

My pec and shoulder muscles had recently felt extremely tight over the last month as I had been lifting very heavy and aggressive. Not sure if the universe or my FBI agent heard me, but I stumbled across Latika's page shortly after and set up an appointment for massage therapy. My session was phenomenal. Latika stretched out my muscles and released an insurmountable amount of pressure from my body that it had been harvesting. I felt sore but relieved of so much stress and pressure, and rejuvenated. A few days later, I was back at it in the gym with more range and movement and no stiffness. Latika is the ultimate professional and very kind and welcoming. She builds rapport and is genuinely interested in helping you recover from any injuries or mobility challenges. Her space is ambient, soothing and you're made to feel at home. HIGHLY recommend her for her services! read more

I don't know where to start with Latika. Basically, she's heaven-sent! I was sent to her by a family member for chronic pain of 10+ years. I have seen numerous doctors and therapists of all kinds, had almost every treatment imaginable done, and nothing worked. I went into my session with Latika expecting it not to help. After only 2 sessions, my entire world changed. For the first time in over a decade, I'm pain free! What's even better is the unexpected emotional and mental healing I have experienced during my bodywork. Latika's intuition allows her to connect with her clients on a deeper level than I have ever experienced. I feel like I'm an entirely different BETTER person because of her. She's an angel in my life! Her studio is pristine and parking is super easy and accessible. If I could give her 10 stars I would! read more

I hobbled into Better Body Recovery on the recommendation of a friend. I injured my lower back earlier this week and could barely move. 2 chiropractor visits, 2 Doctor visits, and finally made my way to a massage. I am absolutely a massage snob, so I am hard to please. I walk in and Latika (owner) was very nice and welcoming, such a great vibe in the space. I explain my situation and that I can barely even sit down from the back spasms. She analyses and has me get ready for my massage. I did the 90 minute and was blown away! It was the perfect amount of pressure and she knew exactly where to press to get my muscle spasms to calm down. I was able to walk out normally! I haven't been able to walk or sit without pain for the better part of this week. I finally have some mobility back! I will 100% be back. Best massage I've gotten in San Diego, not even an exaggeration. It rivals the massages I get at the Spa at the Aria in Las Vegas, which is my favorite. There is also a massage chair, oxygen bar, red infrared therapy chamber (on my list for next time) and more. Absolutely try this place. You will be very impressed. read more

Wow, I don't know where to begin! I ABSOLUTELY loved the way Latika worked on my body. Massage, cupping and blading were all necessary for me. I felt stiff in a weird "old lady" kinda way and I thought a regular massage would help. I went elsewhere for one and it never quite did the job. Luckily, Better Body Recovery ad popped up on my IG account. I decided to try it and it was the best thing EVER. Not gonna lie, it was a bit painful but 2 days after, I felt like a new woman. I went a second time and need to go a third. I absolutely believe and trust Latika with her magic touch! She is amazing and is strong enough to really workout all the tightness and tension that is deep within the body! I have recommended her to friends, which I only do with some that is highly skilled!

I've been getting massages since I was 12 years old and no one has helped as much as Latika. Seriously one session and I felt like I had a brand new back. I even had a monthly massage membership at another place and canceled it the second I found her. Words cannot describe how amazing and knowledgeable she is!

I had a difficult time finding relief for sore and achy muscles. I tried a lot of therapies out there, but Better Body Recovery was the solution I was looking for. I appreciate the spa-like feel from the moment you walk in. It sets the perfect mood for a massage. Also, they've thought of any personal hygiene item you may need before and after your services and all is available. It just shows the attention to detail and the perfect curated experience. And then the massage is perfect! Perfect temperature controlled table, perfect pressure, and all. But what stands a part from others is the holistic approach to care.

Good morning Latika.. Working today is gonna be easier. Meeting you was a huge blessing to my life. Your healing powers are unmatched. I've made my way through people who have worked on my body and by far you are the best. I'll never stray from you. I want you to know how much I appreciate you. Your advice is definitely applied in my daily life. Your energy is fire. I absolutely adore everything about you. Thank you for everything you do for me. You keep this man balanced and ready for his everyday. Your sessions are always the perfect restart to my month. Have a wonderful blessed day. I ruptured my left bicep 3+ years ago with 2 surgeries that failed to reattach. I was left with life long pain, cramps and nerve damage to the arm. I rehabbed for 1 year with a physical therapist. Once I was through with the work related therapy I looked and looked for someone to continue the work I needed. After a few failed attempts at finding the right fit for my therapy. I met Latika by chance. This was about 1 1/2 years ago. I've had 12 sessions with her. Should have 16 but missed a few. My levels of pain and discomfort have been drastically reduced. Latika fixes it all. "Like magic". Highly recommend this amazing healer. 1 1/2 hour sessions. Upper body with arm rotation, stretching, blading, cupping and deep tissue. Thank you for everything... read more

I was suffering from knee pain(torn meniscus) tight hamstrings. I tried Physical therapy but I was not seeing an improvement. Thanks to Latikas' massage techniques, I have since regained my mobility and my knee pain has gone away. The cupping definitely helped. I also did the red light therapy (cocoon) and was able to give my body the detox it needed by removing toxins (sweating) and overall relaxing my muscles. The ambiance is very relaxing. Latika has great energy and is very professional! 10/10 read more

Ive been seeing Latika for about 4 years now. I suffered a very bad shoulder strain in 2019. After the first session, I regained 90% of my mobility back! After the next couple check ups all of my mobility returned and she did a wellness check for other pains I felt were "normal". Helped me correct these pains and get back to hitting PR's. Shes always been very welcoming and explains what could be the cause, how she's going to help, and preventive measures. Her office is also one of the most relaxing places to feel the unwind and take your mind off of the outside world and focus on you. Shes gained me as a client for life! read more

Latika is quite talented. Not only is she skilled in massage and bodywork, she is also very intuitive and has a gift for knowing what your body needs.

Absolutely love Latika! She is really articulate in the way that she explains our bodies, and understanding what we need to help alleviate any pain, stress, or tightness. She's personable in every way, and really does a great job at listening to her clients every need. She really made me feel like I had been seeing her for the past two years with the way she understood what was going on with my body and the way we kept talking with each other. I left coming out of this experience feeling not only relaxed, and stress free, but man oh man, am I looking forward to coming back. I have never liked nor enjoyed getting massages.

I've been experiencing shoulder and neck pain for almost 2-3 years... After countless massages, dr visits, and muscle activation therapists I felt like my pain will never come to an end and will be something I'll have to suck up. That wasn't the case when I visited Latika! After 1 session I could already feel the difference in my mobility and pain relief. 2-3 sessions later I am physically pain free, which almost brought me to tears, being that I am living life again with no aches, pains, or strains. Latika is the most welcoming and friendly therapist that truly cares about your body and working her magic on body recovery. She's passionate about everything she does and makes you feel relaxed throughout your session. If I could give her more than 5 starts I would. She's found herself a regular client in me, thanks Latika!! read more

Latika is the best!! Was referred to her by a friend that I play beach volleyball with. I went in my first time asking for tissue repair and recovery and she spent the whole time working on my back and shoulders. I had a shoulder injury a couple years back and still have issues with mobility and pain, so this was definitely needed. She did scraping and cupping as well as massage. After the session, my posture was better and the mobility in my lats and upper back greatly improved. I felt immediate relief that continued throughout the week. I went in a couple weeks later to work on my lower back and body and that session was even better! Honestly felt like a new person after the session, she dug in deep on my glutes and hips and got all the knots and inflammation. The place is really nice too, calm lighting, good music, and her dog Chuey is adorable. Latika is very welcoming and makes the whole experience very warm and inviting. Can't wait for our next session! Thank you Latika!! read more
