I met Dulce as a therapist at a chiropractic office back in 2019. After the first visit I knew that she was capable of more than massages. She focused on hip mobility and trigger points in my hips, which I had never experienced before. Right after the first visit I noticed more mobility and less tightness in my lower back. I continued going to the chiropractor for years, never really experiencing a unique plan to better my posture and mobility. I would tell the chiropractor my recent pain, etc. and they would do the same exact adjustments they use on every single patient. I never really felt like the chiropractors came up with a unique treatment plan and definitely never experienced long lasting results. I really ended up just going to the chiropractor for the massages, which I am sure I am not the only one. Since Dulce branched out and started Divine Posture I started seeing her more frequently. Only about 2 times a month, until I injured my tailbone. I went to her and told her what happened and instantly she changed my therapy to fit my unique condition. This really was an eye opener, realizing that her therapy was uniquely designed for my current condition/injury. After that I decided I would go weekly and really focus on her prescriptive therapy sequences and stretches. My weekly therapy with Dulce started May 15th and I have noticed drastic results in less than 2 months. I get compliments on how much better my posture has gotten and feel much less pain along with more energy. Here are two images of my posture. The first was taken in 2021 (bad posture) and the second was taken in July 2023 (showing my posture after 2 months of Dulce's weekly therapy). I will admit, this does not come easy, I have been doing her therapy workouts and stretches daily! I still have a long way to go, but it is noticeable that my ears are more in line with my hips and shoulders. I honestly cannot believe the impact that postural alignment and joint mobility can have on one's overall wellbeing. Since corrected, my energy and overall positivity on my mood has greatly increased. I always thought these corrective exercises were a joke and your really need to focus on weight training to have a positive impact, but I was wrong. These seemingly simple corrective exercises are extremely difficult when your tiny structural muscles aren't working properly. Strengthening them with bodyweight exercises and stretches improves how well your entire body functions. I cannot be more satisfied with Dulce's corrective therapy! read more

We went hiking two days later and I can tell there was a difference in my body, I kept telling my sister that I couldn't believe how good I felt on that hike. I had a shoulder pain as well that the Dr.s said it might be a life long pain, after meeting with Dulce, I don't know what she did, but I can honestly say that my shoulder felt like how I've always wanted it to feel since my car accident. Definitely suggest going and working with Dulce. read more

Devine is amazing! I was in pain for years! I was just living with it but I couldn't take it anymore.

Divine Posture - Thank you Devine Posture! Now let's go race! - Massage Therapy Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Where to begin... Dulce is an incredible woman who really takes the time to look and listen to your body. I came in after visiting the doctor multiple times about my neck hump. I work on the computer 8 hrs a day and prior to that, I spent countless hours on my laptop for college. Several referrals after, and my doctors said it was just a hump. The only way to get rid of it was cosmetic surgery (if it really bugged me that much). I came to Divine Posture on a friend's recommendation and not only is she helping me with my hump, she's also teaching me how to walk! Turns out I've been using my thighs to walk instead of activating my glutes as I should. This in turn has lead to other imbalances and ways my body has overcompensated that we are working on. She tailors exercises to your lifestyle and body mechanics to correct these imbalances in a gradual way. You'll do the exercises with her and then at home if you're serious about improving. So do your exercises! Make her proud! read more

I came into Divine Posture with some lingering issues across my body. Primarily I had a sore back with some muscle imbalances for MONTHS which was frustrating. But upon arriving, Dulce was extremely helpful and insightful in her approach to help me mobilize my body in the proper way. She was very informative with the exercises / stretches i would perform and why they were important which was awesome. Alongside this, the deep tissue massage helped relieve some tenseness I had built up on my back after months of exhaustion. Overall, great business and its perfect for someone looking to become more mobile and prioritize longevity with their posture! read more

Divine Posture - Therapy - Massage Therapy Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I'm only 23 and I've had two big injuries in my life thus far that was caused by lifting weights and training jiu jitsu. I've seen a physical therapist and went through a 3 months course of therapy but it didn't compare to the one day of treatment I had at Divine Posture. In only one day!!! it felt like Dulce found all the answers to my problems haha. She made me aware of a lot things that I couldn't notice on my own. Not only is she really knowledgeable! You can tell she loves what she practices! While she's helping you heal, she is also teaching you. Knowing someone really cares and seems really invested in helping you heal is a great feeling and makes you want to go back! I will be back very soon after my competition! Great vibes "I can be here all day if you can"- Dulce read more

I've had sciatic nerve issues for about 2 years and it seems to keep getting worse and worse. Every day I wake up 3-4 times a night with excruciating pain in my calf. I have been seen by doctors, chiropractors, Thai masseuses, Chinese masseuses etc and no one has been able to help me. All they have done is put a band aid on me. All temporary relief. Last week I had my first appointment with Dulce and it was truly mind boggling the things I learned about my body. I have never ever received this kind of treatment. Some high level stuff!! Very unique. She literally spent over 2 hours with me. I never knew how off/crooked and weak my hips are which is throwing so many things off in my body. And I also learned I walk with my head down and I am always staring at the ground which means my head is always titled down. Things I never paid attention too. I learned soooo much on why I am in so much pain. I am looking forward to my next session with her. I highly, highly recommend her. There is no doubt in my mind I am going to be healed and my posture is going to be better than ever. Chiropractors charge $40-$60 for 15-20 minutes, masseuses charge $100.00 for a 90 minute massage plus tip!! Her prices are very very reasonable!!! Worth it!! You CANNOT put a price on your health!!! read more

Dulce is the ultimate healer! She cares about her work deeply and pays attention to the utmost detail! I came to her as a pro beach volleyball player constantly in pain. She helped me recover from a major surgery to perform again and maintain my career over the past 6 years! I wouldn't have been able to make it to where I am today without her specific knowledge, care and kindness. Hands down best massage therapist you will find! read more
