Michael has been working with my dad, who is bed bound due to an ALS diagnosis, for more than two years. We appreciate his professionalism and kindness towards my dad, trust and respect his sessions are making a big difference for my dad. HIGHLY RECOMMEND MICHAEL TO ANYONE!!!! read more

I have so much trust Im the unique modality that Michael has created that I don't even bother to feel the need to talk to much about what ailment I have walked in the door with because I KNOW it will be a thing of the past and left in the dust after he is done working his magic with his combination of deep muscle stimulation machine, assistive stretching and massage. It is a completely meditative experience and I can't help but completely relax and just go along for the ride. I always feel a million times better than when I walked In the door! read more

I highly recommend Michael Payne and his Flexability business. I had back issues and a sharp pain under my shoulder blade; Michael took the time to listen to my concerns, and we started a few sessions of stretch that helped significantly. He also recommended exercises to do at home, taking extra time after the session to show me what to do. He was also very helpful with my mother in law that had to recover from fatigue and muscle loss read more

I have been with Michael for more than a year now, and I have to say over this time I have gone from back issues to a fully mobile and highly functional lifestyle. I am regular at gym, but never used to spend the time stretching, which lead to load issues with my back, resulting in severe pain. Michael, fixed my back within a week, and then helped me understand the body tissue mechanics. He suggested simple stretching routines, that I have now added to my gym routine. I meet Michael once a week to continue to stretch extensively in areas that I cannot do by myself. Thank you Michael, for helping me get into a higher mobility lifestyle. read more

Michael helped me rehab some muscular imbalances in my upper back/traps. He was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and friendly, taking the time to explain what he thought was going on and how to best fix it. He's also extremely flexible with scheduling and his prices are super reasonable, both of which are huge pluses. Highly recommend Michael when dealing with an injury of any sort and you need someone who will devote the time and care to helping you recover. read more

My Ricardo and I had a Stretch Therapy with Michael Payne and when I said he will get you right I mean he will explain what is going with your body while doing the Therapy. During this pandemic he uses all the right measures before any session is started and makes you comfortable and safe. So if anybody that suffering from any Chronic Pain I would definitely recommend Mr. Michael Payne. Ricardo Arzu read more

I went to see Michael because of a slight twinge/pain in my back before a long flight and he was able to fix me in three short days I've now been going to him for the last three months and have already seen a vast improvement in my flexibility which has led to a big improvement in my golf game I highly recommend Michael read more

I started working with Mike 6 months after bilateral knee replacement. My PT was focused on knee range of motion and muscle strength but my legs were extremely tight. My husband has been working with Mike for a long time (and feels like Mike changed his life for the better), so he suggested I meet with Mike. From the first session, I immediately started feeling my muscles work better. The gentle therapy helped loosen and lengthen my muscles and my legs are working better than I ever expected. I now understand that good flexibility is the key to a strong, healthy and well-functioning body. Also, Mike is a great guy, easy to work with and his pricing is more than fair. I highly recommend him! read more

I was in a car accident in July of 2018 and THANKFULLY I only suffered with a broken ankle. I now have a plate and 10 screws which does not allow me to wear the shoes that I used to wear. I asked Michael to help me get back into my heels and possibly some I hadn't, because of the height. I am SO HAPPY to say that after ONE MONTH of therapy, I am able to wear heels again without any pain or discomfort and walk in them!! I need a little more tIme before I wear them outside of the house, but I am truly AMAZED and THANKFUL!! Mike is truly a blessed soul that has a true passion for health and healing. His therapy was even BETTER than what was provided through my insurance. read more

Michael is very professional and knowledgeable. He does a great job, not only with stretching, but finding muscle imbalances that could lead to potential injury further down the line. I also appreciate that he informed me of what exercises to do on my own to fix these imbalances so I'm not completely reliant on him. Michael does a great job and I will be returning to him soon. read more

I visited Michael on two separate occasions. One for neck and shoulder pain and another for back pain. I went to a chiropractor 6 times for the neck pain but issues still persisted. I went to Michael and in one session I felt a whole lot better. The pain subsided. I thought it was to good to be true but when when I rushed myself to ER because of back pain he made me a believer. I got xrays done and they told me is was my muscle. I immediately contacted and booked an appointment with Michael and I will say without taking any meds my back is back to normal after 2 more sessions with him. I'm keeping this guy on speed dial! read more

I work in fitness as an exercise instructor and personal trainer. I have injuries and aches and pains quite often. Michael has helped me so much! He's very knowledgeable and really cares and wants to help. He is a genuine, caring, healer. He always spends extra time when needed to make sure everything that needs attention gets it. I highly recommend Michael for pain relief, injury recovery, and just feeling better in general. read more

Michael Payne has been helping me for over a year. He is so incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive, caring, and talented, his services are addictive. I broke my neck, but thanks to Michael I am back to 100%. Even for minor pain, I recommend a session (or 10) with Michael. read more

I just started seeing Michael recently for some aches and pains and to improve my flexibility and mobility. So far I'm pretty satisfied, discovering a lot of tight areas that I had no idea existed. read more

I can move so much better now. After an off roading injury, I've had to deal with chronic lower back pain for 3-years. I've been through regular physical therapy, chiropractors and massage therapist with very small improvements. My friends gave me a gift certificate for my birthday and I can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner. First of all, the owner is amazing! He knows what he's doing when it comes to helping people recover from injuries. And this was the first time I went to a place that studied my movement to find out the source of my pain. I've only been for two treatments and started feeling better almost immediately. I can't wait to go back! read more

Michael is professional and excels at what he does. He combines his treatment with guidance and support giving you exercises and stretches to work on at home. He knows how far to push you and balances that with the comfort you need at any given time when you're fatigued addressing the body as a whole. read more

For years I had not been able to walk any distance without terrible lower back pain and foot pain. I'd been going to a chiropractor for years, but that seemed to be a very temporary fix. I began working with Michael last summer. He assisted me with stretching, increasing my flexability and exercise instruction. By November I was able to walk for hours without any pain! I continue to work with him as he continues to help me with me flexability and increasing strength in my back and lower extremities. The improvement I've seen has been tremendous. Due to my noticeable improvement, my husband now sees him on a regular basis as well. His progress has also been terrific. We both highly recommend Michael's therapy. read more

Mike is an expert. Not only was he informative throughout the session on the physical issues being addressed, but it felt AMAZING! I see how his efforts are essential to athletes, performers (such as myself), or anyone who needs relief from muscular tension and stress. 5 stars! :) read more

For years I sat and worked at a computer while my body slowly lost its flexibility, range of motion and strength. I knew I needed "strong medicine", that is, a comprehensive, effective strategy to reverse this fossilization. Michael came highly recommended from a friend whom he had helped recover from a very serious hiking accident. I gave Michael a try. Results came quickly. My weekly sessions with Michael were therapeutically effective and informative. He clearly explained what he was doing, what I needed to do and why. The phrase "magic hands" comes to mind. After each session I felt like I was walking on air. Michael gave me homework, that is,exercises to do that would build on his treatments. Encouraged by the results of our sessions and his clear descriptions of the benefits my home exercises would bring, I did my homework each week. After two months of weekly visits and exercises at home, my body and my life has changed for the better. I feel I'm on my way to regaining the flexibility and ease of motion I had, say, 30 years ago. Michael has an extraordinary combination of medical knowledge and deep insight into what his patients need. Working with him is very enjoyable; I look forward to my weekly visit. I give Michael my highest recommendation. read more

I have been seeing Michael for almost 1.5 years. I have had back issues on and off for decades, and have tried chiropractic care, massages, acupuncture, and cupping. Therapy with Michael has really made a difference. My back feels much better. He has also helped me with a foot issue. Michael is very professional and dependable. He is extremely focused on making his clients feel better - that is his goal. He really cares about his clients. He is extremely knowledgeable on the body. In addition to solving pain issues, therapy with Michael has improved my flexibility back to almost my childhood. It is also very relaxing and stress reliving. Michael is very flexible on appointment hours and will spend extra time with you to address issues. He has a therapy room at the El Segundo Athletic Club, but you do not have to be a member to see him. There is plenty of parking in lot next to the club and free parking on the street. I highly recommend stretch therapy with Michael - for pain issues or just overall well-being improvement. read more
