OK, so I've been dealing with a sciatic nerve pain for over three months now and after seeing several chiropractors and other Sobadores my wife found this place on social media and made me an appointment. It was my first session and as of right now I don't feel anything different from the other people. I've seen just a bit sore but he did tell me I'm gonna be sore for a few days and then I'll feel the difference so with that being said, I'll wait to see how I feel in a few days to see if I'll schedule a second appointment with Junior. He did do a really deep tissue massage on my left leg, which is the one that's bothering me so ill give him that he really got into it and explain to me what my issue and where the nerves are impacted so let's see what happens and we'll take it from there read more

I would recommend them to everyone especially those who need a healing touch. read more

Conozco a Don Panchito y su clínica desde ase más de 10 años siempre daba lo mejor de él. Pero ahora que tiene a toda la familia trabajando ya no es lo mismo . La semana pasada fui a la consulta una leve molestia en la parte baja de la espalda. Me atendió el Junior, el hijo mayor. No tiene experiencia y así no ase buen trabajo. Eso si cobra lo mismo que el padre . El diablo no es sabio por diablo es sabio por viejo. Y usted encubriendo los herrores que comete y culpando a sus clientes que todo lo que queremos son citas gratis . Usted perdió su integridad y mi respeto y todo por $$$$$$$$$. Recuerde que esa virgen en la sala ve todas sus fechorías . Enseñe a su hijo no lo incubra . read more

I found this page after they used AI on Instagram. Could be a red flag, go figure. Anyway I walked into their spot and told them my appt time, I completed a questionnaire about my injuries if any and waited 20 minutes. After 20 minutes of waiting I decided just to leave, the older man was following up with leads over the phone while I was in the waiting room so I decided it was best to just keep it moving. Their prices are high and kind of unorthodox as well, 25 min sobador treatment for 115 is expensive read more

My husband went. Recommended by my dad from another source.. my husband had sciatica and unable to sleep. Well after two sessions my husband's pain dropped from couldn't turn to sleeping like a baby. I'm glad we went. He still had a little pain but even the chiropractor did not help my husband. read more

Son malisimos solo te descompones y aparte te cobran mucho pesimo service so suck yo fui con 10 % y casi me Mandan sin caminar

Do not come here instead go to : Juanito El Sobador in East LA !! I recommend it they will attend you and staff are nice and they do not charge ridiculous prices. read more

This guy is a joke! I brought my mother here, since she had heard nothing but "great things" about this place. I'm pretty sure the reviews are beyond fake. He refused to listen to my mothers concerns. Careless bedside manner, not a real sobador. More like snake oil. To make a long story short my mom literally could not walk from all the pain that this man caused her. She had to go to urgent care after going to this quack. Do yourself a favor and find a reputable sobador. This guy is definitely not it! ¡Este tipo es una broma! Traje a mi madre aquí, ya que no había oído nada más que "grandes cosas" sobre este lugar. Estoy bastante segura de que las reseñas son más que falsas. Se negó a escuchar las preocupaciones de mi madre. Para hacer una larga historia corta, mi madre literalmente no podía caminar de todo el dolor que le causó este hombre. Tuvo que ir a urgencias después de ir a este lugar. read more

Horrible experience, went to him with my dad who swore this was a god send. Had the most excruciating "massage" i was screaming in pain and he swore it was part of the process. Next day I feel worse, sore and bruised all over on top of the pain. I paid 120.00 to feel worse. This place is begging for a lawsuit. The old guy is going to hurt someone some day. DO NOT GO HERE!! Be warned. read more

Dirty sheets, to start. $95.00 for 20 minutes. I said no thank you. He said "no worries, I will not charge you for consultation"!!!!! What consultation??? you tied to figure out why I'm hurting? I know exactly why I'm there. Seriously overpriced and their products just as overpriced. I should contact health services to inspect the rest of the beds. Disappointed, however I did find a place that got me walking straight again. read more

I have a lot of knots...I had a session for 25 minutes and not one knot was removed. I paid $120 for this. Not sure what exactly was done, but I believe if they concetrated on the massage (la sobada) they could of helped. Not sure why they don't focus on this, after all, we are here for the massage (el bobador)...Right? read more

My wrist was hurting for years, they helped me able to move it comfortably again and get full range of motion with one session. I definitely need to come back to make sure I'm all set read more

Amazing!!!! My massage therapist was Ricardo, he was great! Forced in the area of concern through the whole session and explained reasoning for the pain. Although the session is painful, you will walk out brand new. read more

I been having some sciatica nerve issue on my right leg been doing my research for a while . Finally came across Panchito El sobador on a Facebook ad and knew I had to come give him a shot . Made an appointment quick and easy and was in the next day . I thought Panchito was going to do the treatment but his son jr was the one that treated my sciatic nerve pain. Found the issue with in 5 min and began working for about 20 mins . I came in with a leg pain 11 out of 10 & walked out with pain level at 5 /10 so definitely we'll worth the money read more

First time going to a sobador. Had muscular tightness and soreness around upper back and neck area. Treatment was rudimentary and short duration and very expensive. For $120 dollars at 30 min I would have better experience and soothing results at a spa with deep tissue massage. It seems like the business is more concerned with pulling in clients at a high rate vs ensuring treatment. I am all for supporting community businesses, but not price gouging and especially with minority clients that don't know any better. read more

My mom told me about coming here, I was skeptic but I was in so much pain, I decided to give it a go! Glad I did! I was diagnosed with De Quervain's tenosynovitis and ortho surgeon wanted to do surgery. I decided to try natural healing like acupuncture but wasn't working until Carmen and junior massaged me! I have improved 65% and will continue treatment until healed! I highly recommend this place as it helped my mom and I. read more

The staff is lovely. The massage was amazing almost magical to say the least. My sobador took his time and even exceeded his time. He made me feel comfortable throughout the massage. He was very knowledgeable and good at his craft. Unfortunately it's super expensive and the price is not for the basic worker. read more

I have been suffering with lower back pain and shooting sciatica nerve pain, radiating up and down my legs, for more than 10 years. Ricardo assured me that the massages would help me. I was skeptical, but hopeful, and thought I would try. From the first massage I felt immediate relief! I am so glad I made the decision to try these massages! I drive from 2 hours away, and it is soooo worth having my health back! I feel like they gave me my life back! Thank you to the office staff, everyone is so professional, kind and caring! THEY ARE THE BEST! He estado sufriendo dolor lumbar y dolor punzante en el nervio ciático, que baja a mis piernas, por mas de 10 años. Ricardo me aseguró que los masajes me ayudarían. Estaba escéptica, pero tenía esperanzas, y pensé en intentarlo. ¡Desde el primer masaje sentí un alivio inmediato! ¡Estoy tan contenta de haber tomado la decisión de probar estos masajes! Manejo 2 horas de distancia y ¡vale muchísimo la pena recuperar mi salud! ¡Siento que me devolvieron la vida! ¡Gracias al personal de la oficina, todos son tan profesionales, amables y atentos! ¡ELLOS SON LOS MEJORES! read more

‼ Please listen up anyone that is in serious pain to not go to this place this man is extremely rude. As soon as I walked into his office, he was cracking jokes about my weight. I've been suffering with sciatic pain for a while. I went in confident that he was going to cure at least 50% of my pain this man is horrible. He has no sympathy. He buried his elbow into my back. My reflection stopped him, but he accused me of hitting him and his stomach that was lie. I apologize and he was so rude tells me no I don't accept any. Apologies the bad part about everything was that I couldn't even get up after he buried his elbow in my back or I would've left with a quickness, he continued with an extremely light massage. Nothing was done to me and then he still charged me 120 for absolutely nothing. This guy is a jerk read all comments before entering into his office. ‼‼‼ read more

I really recommend this place the first time I ever walked in was over an injury that I got hiking. I was not able to band my knee very much and when I first visit I got help from Panchito jr from the first visit. once I left, I was able to bend my knee and I did not have the pain anymore. This would be my second time going and this time I got help from Panchito, I ended up injuring my wrist at work and I have not been able to get rid of the pain. once he was finished, the pain was minimal, but he does recommend for me to go a second time, so hopefully the second time I will be walking out with no pain. Will keep y'all updated. And all I wanna say is thank you Panchito and Panchito Jr for helping me out with my injuries read more

No creo que sea justo $95 dólares por 10 minutos, supongo que con la intención de que las personas regresen a pagar $95 por otros 10 minutos sin quitar el dolor por el que fuiste. read more

No recomiendo este lugar. Yo fui para una sobada y me dieron massage 20 minutos y me cobraron $120.00 y te exigen propinada y me salió $132.09 . Es un robo allí . read more

All I have to say is that I feel AMAZING after visiting Panchito. . I had been in pain for 3 weeks before I went to visit them.

i was a bit nervous coming in because i didn't know what to expect. my back pain was debilitating me and i was unable to walk, move, or even bend. i was greeted and taken care by a woman (i forgot her name) and she was extremely patient and nice. it did hurt going through the session but i noticed a drastic improvement on my pain relief. even a day after it's basically gone! i will come back anytime something happens because it's amazing! read more

This is my second time going, last time I went with an issue I had with my sciatic nerve and they were able to resolve it . This time it's been about 3 years and I went back because I knew they could help me since they did help me the last time. I couldn't bend down easily and I had some lower back pain and my legs were getting numb. The first time I went it was an older gentleman who did the massage this time it was his son ,it appears like. I thought I was in for some real bad pain but it honestly wasn't that bad .There was times where it got a little intense but well worth it. It's only been one day and I'm already happy with the results I know these people are good. I highly recommend them. read more

This is the worst place and misrepresentation is the name of their game. Claim $75 session, but turns out it's for a 20 minute consultation with Panchito who screams unprofessional with the soccer Jersey worn and tries to sell. Then if you want an additional massage because you'll feel like you need one from the pain he just caused you. He sends you to a back room with another soccer jersey wearing therapist tries to massage you. Panchito is more concerned with the chatter than doing what it advertised. No sir I don't care if you feel Emma should only be spelled with one m and not two. If you have any pain or need a massage any other place is better than the thieves here. As they recommend to take their supplements rather than doctor prescribed medications. That speaks volumes!! read more

Panchito El Sobador - Massage Therapy Near Me - Whittier, California

Found this place through yelp because my normal sobador retired but i'm glad it took me here and no where else. I read the other reviews and was a little worried about what the outcome would be for my husband who had a shoulder injury. To my surprise, I was very pleased with my experience! From the moment we walked in, the woman at the front desk was polite and kind. We called for a last minute appointment and were taken in right away. My husband told me that the son who gave him the massage was very friendly, knowledgeable, and fantastic at what he does. He massaged the areas of pain and did cupping therapy around as well. My husband walked out of there with way more mobility in his arm than he went in with. The price was pretty expensive compared to what i'm used to especially because he was only seen for 25 minutes but whatever i guess whatever works. Plus it's a mom and pop shop so why not support a small business right? I would forsure come back read more

Wow amazing Panchito El Sobador did and amazing job on my pain I had on my leg and heel, Rhonda did a great job I walked out not limping no more. I recommend Rhonda and all the crew are very nice and accommodating with everything thank you so much I read more

I should have posted this review a long time ago. Got caught up in life and feeling good. Panchito is the best! Everytime I have been to him for treatment,I have felt so much better. Sciatica is a horrible thing to live with. This man knows what he is doing. He knows all about the disease and how to adequately treat it! I cannot give him enough props for doing his job right! Thank you Panchito! read more

Thank you Panchito, Panchito Jr. and your whole team For helping my entire family. My back was out and as always you were able to fix it and get me back walking and back to work. You guys are true professionals, you have a very clean business and truly care for the safety of your patients. I highly recommend you to all. So glad you are reopen now. read more

Love coming here the energy is always so peaceful my knee wasn't feeling right so I knew to come here got a message with Ricardo and I feel so much better ready to work and take care of myself thank you team for always taking care of your clients!! God bless read more

These people are thieves. $75 for 20 minutes but they won't tell you that till they've taken your money & have made you sign a contract that they aren't responsible for what ever happens post-massage. It takes them 5 minutes to "find" the problem. Nothing really gets accomplished, do not spend your hard earned money here. Our wait time was 3 hours to top it off. read more

Ricardo was Amazing I walked out feeling like a million bucks Deep tissue massage was the one I went with he knew where my tension points were and literally rolled them out thank you Again read more

I went in today for my vertigo discomfort and this guy completely cured me. Vertigo has made these past few months so difficult,but after my massage I feel so much better. I am beyond grateful thank you. read more

I had a chronic pain in my back for more than 6 years. It took one visit to this place for me to start feeling better. 1.5 months have passed and the pain hasn't returned. I highly recommend this place to those with severe back pain. read more

If you are dealing with a sever case of sciatica dont come to ponchito , they are realy nice people and they may be good with other things relating to pain , but they couldn't help me at one point they all looked at me with very little confidence like if it was beyond their capabilities , I think they may have even made my situation worse ,that night I had to sleep with my knees on the floor and my head and chest on the couch all night , I'm getting better now but i had to find a good chiropractor . read more
