Review #840 2025-012…read more I was rear ended in 11/2024 before Thanksgiving & went to P/T when my therapist suggested acupuncture &/or massage therapy to advance my recovery: right shoulder, neck, & back. I tried massage once more than a decade ago, but I have personal space issues besides being very ticklish. I searched awhile trying to find the "right" type of massage therapy, & came upon Gettys Muscle Therapy. I wasn't able speak with Lyssa because she's an independent contractor at Amie House, but she did reply by text with enough info that I felt comfortable to schedule an appointment 1-month out. She's busy either because of her limited schedule: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (M, T, Th), 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM (W, F) or she's THAT good. Established in 2010, Lyssa is a board-certified CA massage therapist providing therapy for rehabilitative care (not like the spa-associated massages?) at Amie House, a reimagined holistic center of independent wellness professionals. The 1st appointment is 90-mins.: 30 for pre/post assessment based on your intake/application form + 60 for massage. A detailed intake form ensures a full massage session, other it'll be shorten to clarify your needs/goals; thereafter, sessions are 30, 60, 90 mins. with Pay Later option of 4 installments (not sure if there's surcharges for this payment plan). Lyssa is thorough with asking questions that will assist her in your treatment, & discusses post-treatment observations & changes between appointments to guide her approach for a more impactful session. She's methodical in working on & around the tender areas, stretching & maneuvering for better range/flexibility. Her technique is different from another masseuse who uses more & constant pressure. At Gettys Muscle Therapy, treatment shouldn't be "no pain, no gain" instead it's detailed pressure with some discomfort of a "good sore." Followed by consistent homework on post assessment tips to maintain the progress made. Due to the cold weather, any minute progress made with PT & massage therapy is 1-step forward, 10-steps back; now weather is slightly warmer, & have increased the PT intensity & additional HW (from 1 set daily to 3 sets) & infrequent massage therapy, I've regained a lot of mobility & working on the back & building strength. On my 2nd session, Lyssa suggested I come in earlier to supplement with Dry Float Therapy, aka Zero Gravity Therapy. It's meant to be a relaxing experience that simulates weightlessness without getting wet. It involves lying on a special floatation bed that uses a dry membrane & is designed to minimize outside senses & feelings to help relieve stress & physical pain. However, this wasn't for me... triggering claustrophobia, anxiety, & nausea that remained with me for the whole day into the next day. I was barely in the bed (less than a min.?)... lying flat, which I'm incapable of doing (need to be raised a few degrees upward), & it felt tight like you're in a coffin but more snug. After getting my bearings, my massage wasn't therapeutic with my focus on breathing through the normally tolerable discomfort & trying not to get sick on the bed. This complementary add-on is $35 at a 30% discount for 30-mins. & $80 regular price for 60-mins. I'm not consistent with her post assessment tips (HW), but these complementary massage sessions along with PT has helped in my recovery. If you're looking for clinical massage therapy, look no further than Gettys Muscle Therapy. Keep in mind that it's challenging to secure short-term appointments because she is THAT good.

I feel very fortunate to have found her through Yelp, and have been going several months now. I always feel better after leaving, her skill and attention to detail and ability to ascertain my problem areas are second to none. Furthermore she takes the time to provide recommendations on maintenance steps between sessions such as foam rolling and other care. Thank you very much!

I had the 90 minute deep tissue massage with Johnny. He is super thorough and ensures that you feel comfortable and receive the recovery work you need from the second the massage begins til the end. His massage skills and techniques are to notch. I am an avid weight lifter, so I put his skills to the test with the knots and trigger points in my muscles because it had been quite some time since my last massage. I wish I had booked a 3 hour session! He does offer massage packages and I highly recommend investing in yourself and your body and purchasing. His space is also just two blocks away from the beach if you want to continue the relaxing vibe with a walk on the beach afterwards. Highly recommend!

She can find all my troublesome spots and work them away. I get the Thai combination massage and like to add the hot stones.

Which it always is, I know she can feel my reactions. Lilin runs her own business. When you visit her, it's just the two of you. She has her own suit with a waiting area, bathroom, and massage room.

If you are looking for a large spa with steam rooms and saunas, receptionists and multiple massage therapists, fountains and champagne, this may not be the place for you. If you are looking for your stress to melt away, your body to be treated with attention and care, and frankly one of the best massage of your life, this is your place. Thank you Lilin!

They perform what I call scientific massages, grounded in the most advanced reflexology principles from both the East and the West. This is my second visit, and each time they deliver consistently excellent results. Alejandro's hands possess the skill and precision of a doctor and scientist, expertly targeting pain at its source. Wendy is the perfect host, radiating a serene spirit of hospitality. She handled what could have been stressful with grace and calm, and even arranged future appointments, completing the entire experience with care. I highly recommend Massage Revolution -- they know their craft. The office is spotless and beautifully designed, creating a great atmosphere, and everyone is friendly. When you go, ask for Alejandro and don't forget to spin the wheel. Mention that Omar sent you. Peace & Love. #KeepGoingOAM
