I highly recommend Nuch Thai Massage as a trustworthy business staffed by caring committed people…read more Three generations of family members--the owner, an ageless looking grandmother, her daughter and son-in-law and their daughter keep a clean, fresh, and serene space for urban neighbors to come in with our tense muscles and busy minds with urgent to-do lists give ourselves either an hour or 1.5 hrs. to return into our bodies and become more present. Yes there are people who fall asleep, but many of us are grateful for a quiet massage where we do not need to make conversation but can relax and experience release from pain. Many comes to Nuch for their traditional Thai deep tissue and stretching massage or foot baths and reflexology. There are strong people there for those massages like Molly, Bea, and Linda. Thankfully, I prefer a more gentle massage so the woman there Ann I go to is exquisitely attuned to where to work and where to soothe. Knowing that Nuch takes care of her small staff and they have healthy safe lives gives peace of mind. Nuch is next door to a Thai place one one side and a Duck place on the other. Friends and Family is across Winona. Where else can you spend $80. and add a generous tip for an amazing hour after which you leave feeling greatly improved? We are so lucky to live close enough to E. Hollywood/Los Feliz to have this wonderful resource! I suggest calling for a reservation, but they do take walk-ins as well.

Parking is a royal pain here although they have a reserved space up front but some idiot parked over the line next to it so only a motorcycle can fit. Ambiance was great-dark and smooth jazz playing in the background with curtains separating the massage tables so privacy is not an issue. I'll be back.

I have gotten many…read moremassages from many different employees over the years, but tonight's massage from Emma blew me away. First of all, a 90 minute foot massage is only $60 and it includes the rest of your body but over your clothes so it's not the oil massage you get from the combo option, but it's amazing you get all of the other parts of your body included for such a low price. I have chronic pain due to an extra bone in my feet, and it gets really unbearable because I work on my feet. I came in barely able to walk, and came out feeling like my feet got replaced with new ones. I asked Emma if she could focus on that bone area due to the pain I was feeling, and unlike other people who kind of barely give it any extra focus, she really took her time to be thorough and used different techniques. She didn't just rub the same part over and over like other people have done. I get that it's a strange request because it's just a bone protruding from my foot so people might not think there's a lot you can do, but she gave it so much extra care. I'm feeling almost no pain at all for the first time in a long time. I've never had a masseuse listen to my requests like she has. But on top of that, she was just so sweet. When I had to go to the bathroom, which is located outside, she gave me a blanket to throw over my shoulders because she thought I'd be cold. Every time I asked for a little bit softer, she would giggle and tease me in a playful way and even though I can't speak Chinese and there's a language barrier, I can tell she's so good mannered and kind. I typed all my requests to her into a translation app and she understood everything perfectly so there were no hiccups at all. I think this was my absolute favorite experience getting a massage and I'll only be getting them from Emma from now on! Anywhere else, you'd pay at least $90 for a 90 minute massage. $60 is a steal - I tipped her $30. Everybody get your massages from Emma (and tip her a lot please! She is so nice). She also actually massaged me slightly over 90 minutes - that's never happened before lmao. Usually I get stiffed about 10 min here and there but she was extremely thorough. I love Emma! Thank you!

Then I remembered visiting certain places in Hong Kong that resembled this, where I walked away shameful about judging a book by its cover. This place is a no-frills, Econo-looking room with several draped curtains that serve as separation walls. A 5-star resort it is not. But it IS what I call, old-school, circa 1980s foot massages you would have found in Kowloon, or some no-frills places in Singapore. The massage? AMAZING. The wife and I have been suffering from stiff backs and tight shoulders for weeks, and this place took care of all of it. They dug deep into our backs and legs, and broke down almost every stiffness wall we came in with. Best part of it? Value pricing. $90 total for wife's one-hour, and my 30-minute massage. You won't find that kind of pricing in a lot of places. Definitely a place I'll come back to.

I requested 2 70-minute massages and asked for strong massages. She reminded us to bring cash for tips and that there was an extra dollar surcharge for using card (and that they did not accept Amex). She also asked us what we wanted to focus on that session and we let her know, but I felt like the therapists didn't necessarily focus on those areas too much ultimately. The massages themselves were fine. Mine started off strong during the foot massage with a nice shoulder rub. But my partner said his started off less strong during the foot massage. He also said that much of his body massage entailed massaging a lot of bone but not necessarily tissue, although the person was strong. My body massage was just okay. There was a lot of rubbing and pressure point massages but not necessarily getting out knots. Overall it was just fine and the massages themselves were more like 3 stars. For the price, it is a solid massage place -- $50 for a 70-minute combination massage (30-minute foot and 40-minute body). But it's nothing special.

Good evening. First off what a truly unique experience. I have never had reflexology done before. Charles was so thorough from the initial phone conversation, he asked pertinent questions. Then once I was at the office it was such a peaceful place. I suffer from infrequent migraines and of all mornings I was being hit with one. I shared this with Charles, he stopped writing and sprayed Aromatherapy in the air and had me to deep breath and release. He then continued the questions saying to me let him know if the intensity changes. In a matter 10-15 minutes my migraine had passed. I appreciate his life's journey which shared before he even laid hands on me. After the questions, he went into the bodywork, his hands are magical. Lord when he went to my feet he was very firm with his motions and soft as well. When it was over, I felt like I could walk on cloud 9. Mind, body, and soul were in the same accord which had not been in a long, long, long time. Charles shared several exercises as well as some changes in my diet to do at home to help this euphoric feeling continue. I am definitely going to return to him so I can continue to keep everything in line. Thank you Charles for opening my eyes to a new way of life. read more

On a score of 1-10 this is an 11+++. Charles loves what he does and it is evident in his truly in-depth knowledge of the body, healing from the inside, herbal suggestions (and yes, we all need water and sleep and have to be reminded how important they are) but he explained how to achieve sleep and water intake to be most effective. I learned a lot. Topical soothing ointment (for my ouchy knee), along with proper exercises to ease pain as well. And that was just the beginning. Now to the reflexology session - in no time I was relaxed, feeling every touch on my feet telling me I was in the hands of a master reflexologist. An hour of kneading and I was loving my happy feet. Besides being a wonderful therapist, Charles is a gentle soul who gives generously of his wisdom and I finished the session more at peace than I'd been in a long time. Thank you Charles.

I went to see Charles a couple of weeks ago and I still fill AMAZING!!!! Charles is not only a reflexologist, he is a healer. Before my session, Charles took the time to sit with me and asked me about my complaints and about my daily routine. He gave me advice about nutrition, sleeping (my biggest complaint) and exercize. I was so amazed about his skills not only as a reflexologist, but as a healer. Charles is professional; he is courteous, knowledgeable and very kind. During the massage I was very relaxed. Like he said during the consultation "you will feel as if you are walking on clouds," which is exactly how I felt. I highly recommend him, he is the real deal!

It was so relaxing and yet when Charles had finished, I felt a wealth of work had been done and was already beginning to affect my whole being.

Whatever you've told him hurts...he whisks that pain right out of your body. Totally amazing! During one of my treatments I fell asleep a few times it was so relaxing. Ha!

If you are considering reflexology stop your search now and call Charles. I would have never tried reflexology, but I got a gift certificate for Charles and decided to try it out. I am so glad I did!! It was the best relaxation, stress reliever, and feel good experience I've ever had. I felt like I wasn't even on earth during the treatment. It was like I had drifted into another world. I liked reflexology so much that I booked another reflexology treatment at a high end spa in Hollywood a few weeks later (sorry Charles), but I was sorry I did...it just did NOT compare, at all. I will never go to another reflexologist again! read more

I believe that Eugene is probably very helpful for some (mostly male) clients. I'm stunned today by how much worse I feel and how I keep blaming myself for allowing him to handle my body the way he did. When I protested he actually said "this is your fault" and that I just needed to relax. I don't think he means to be harmful but I find it alarming that he is treating first time female clients this way. I'm left ruminating about all the moments I knew it was hurting me but told myself I was wrong. Many times it was actually Eugene telling me I was wrong. I'd hoped somehow I would feel better today and it would've been worth it. Yikes. A real reminder to always trust my body.

I told him to stop and it was too much. I told him he was torturing me and he said he knew he was torturing me but it was necessary. I cried multiple times and said it hurt and told him it felt like something was going to tear. He said, "ha, you know how much it strength it would take to tear?" as if to dismiss my pain and what I was feeling. I felt helpless. He was not listening to me. I was struggling to get my arm back into a less painful position and he held it down, not permitting me to move and kept saying, no no no it's ok....relax. He justified the pain and said I needed it. I can actually take a lot of pain. I've had several bodyworkers tell me I can handle a lot, and that I can handle pressure that makes grown men cry... But this man working on my injured shoulder was something else. I never experienced torture before. This was the closest feeling to torture that I have ever been through. When he worked on my neck it freaked me out because he would be working on my arm then quite suddenly wring his hands around my neck, putting intense pressure on it. It was almost as if he was getting a kick out of startling me and making me feel like he was going to choke me. There is NO reason to so abruptly wring your hands around someone's neck like that. This is not normal people. He is not normal. As noted by the previous reviewer, Molly, he kept telling me I was a strong, independent woman. In addition, he told me I was a disgrace regarding certain topics he wanted to discuss, topics completely irrelevant to body work. 60-something reviews is not a lot and can't be trusted. Hopefully, more people will leave their honest review if it was similar to my experience.

During the pandemic he even trained me with kettle bells at muscle beach in Venice to get me stronger and maximize my fitness and well being. Mike is my go to holistic body mechanic. He knows intuitively how to manipulate the bodies stresses and injuries. His table is not like anything I've experienced to date. I can't recommend Mike Krasovec highly enough.

I…read morehave been going to a chiropractor for 6 months , they sent me to a pain doctor I got an injection in my neck another in my right lower back, this has help but pains continue in neck and lower back. My neck is stiff and my lower back muscles are stiff . I googled for a massage therapy to help me get rid of the pains. I came yesterday 12 August to a one hour and a 1/2 to treat with massage the neck and upper back and it really helped. Today August 13 I came for and hour to treat the lower back and right hip and I am feeling better. Mike Krazovek the massage therapist explained to me that when accidents happens the body takes time to heal and that massages therapies help a lot to go deep and heal the muscle that is stressed and stiff to release trauma that the body went through. I really recommend his massage therapies very professional with 23 years of sports massage experience. He treats specific damage areas.

I can't recommend Misha enough! I've seen many massage therapists over the years for recurring back…read moreand hip issues, but he's the only one who's been able to really get to the root cause instead of just treating the symptoms. After just a few sessions, I noticed a huge difference and finally felt like myself again. Now I see him for maintenance or anytime I tweak something -- usually every few months -- and he always helps get me back on track. He's incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and intuitive in his approach. If you're dealing with chronic tightness, pain, or an old injury that just won't go away, he's the person to see.

Micha is incredible. He helped me more than any PT or even the doctor recommended after back…read moresurgery left my leg and foot numb. He just gets the body.

If you have chronic upper body issues such as TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome) like me, go see Andrew…read moreASAP. I've been to many kinds of therapists throughout the years who have not been able to get even close to the kind of relief I feel after just one 90 session with Andrew. Massage is so body specific so I can obviously only speak for myself. But after having TOS since my late teens, I now have a go-to for some relief (wishfully hoping it is permanent) when it acts up. Anyone with chronic pain issues will understand that any kind of relief therapy is worth exploring. Like his other clients, I simply texted him for my appointment. Thank you Andrew!

The first session with Andrew was hard on my body. I was not used to the type of deep tissue work…read morehe does. It seemed my body was hurting with every stroke. He explained that because his massage is more trigger point - based I was going to feel almost every tidbit. He was right. After my body recovered from the massage, I was feeling the best I have felt in my 20s. For the second massage there was much less resistance. The pain felt good as opposed to excruciating. He was able to flow thru his routine with less interruption. He definitely covered more ground in the same amount of time. We were actually able to get some relaxation elements in this time. I would highly recommend Andrew's therapy for those who want more deep tissue type work. He is hands down a problem solving therapist. Excited for my third massage after the marathon next month!

I've waited to post this review because honestly, it's been a bit of an emotional roller coaster…read moresince I was in a bad car accident in 2015 on my way to work. In a nut shell, It was early am and I was hit hard and fast on the passenger of a small compact by a Ford 250 that ran the red. This sent me (instantly totaled) into opposing traffic which, thank you all that is good and great, had stopped. Fast forward to the beginning of this year (having gone to innumerable places that hadn't really worked or dig the the core of the pain) still dealing with Worker's Comp and while some things have mildly relieved pain temporarily, nothing has been as effective on a long term basis (instead of hours) than being adjusted by Ben Sanchez (and Chloe) A dear friend had recommended I go to see Ben and his assistant Chloe. Desperately trying to find a way to not feel crunched up in my left hip anymore and also relieve the 3rd lumbar which has been a quarter inch out (this area affects digestion, and a number of other things in your system) I made the appointment. I arrived in Beachwood Canyon area and easily parked (morning appointments make this easy) and went in. In the the center of the room is a 30" massage table and 2 healers that unquestionably are here to help us realize we do not have to suffer the indignities of judgements by doctors that tell you imperiously, "well, you won't get better, you have a chronic condition." Ben set to work guiding me through specific breathing techniques as well as explaining, in detail, each thing he was about to do and what it was connected to. It was a cross between mesmerizing and physically challenging my ability to truly let go of this long term pain. By the time Chloe (Ben's assistant) and Ben both gave me the adjustments, it affected me not only physically as I could feel release for the first time in years as well as it affecting me psychologically. Anyone taking the time to read to here understands this well and is probably as seriously injured as I have been. To explain, I was being adjusted (or spiritually exorcized to our wit bluntly) in a way that felt like the condition of pain I'd learned to adjust to was being lifted away. I was having a deep experience that is traditionally described as a "mind, body, spirit" connection. It was (and still is) such an intense healing energy when one has both male and female energies working together. Chloe, Bens assistant, is very instinctual and brings a maternal energy to this unified effort of "rebirthing" you into your own perfect body. Or simply put, aligning your spine into its original state. Nitty-Gritty: Prices are really fair- contact Ben for info. He also has Tai Chi classes which will be in a separate review. Please check out Ben's IG here: http://www.instagram.com/ting.jin.healing And here is where Ben was trained in this Tai Chi/ Chi Gong art form of body work: https://www.discovertaiji.com/en/index.html Ok, so until I want to share more, this is my review for now. Visit Ben and Chloe, tell them you read this review. I get a free session like you will if you recommend someone. NOTE: Visit my other reviews and see how long those ones are. If I didn't believe in this is so profoundly and how it's affected me physically, mentally and emotionally- I wouldn't bother. Also note that if you actually want to heal and not be a victim to what doctors claim to "know" about your physical well-being, please please please go see Ben and see for yourself after even just two or three sessions how deeply you are gifting yourself going through this process. This isn't for victims who need to stay in their pain for attention or empathy to avoid their own growth. This process is for leaders and pioneers who need to be well for their journeys. Elizabeth

WOW! Ben and Chloe work wonders. Everytime I leave this place I feel an inch or two taller…read more Word to the wise, Ben's technique is not for the faint of heart. Unless you're seriously committed to realigning the results of your bad posture and physical inactivity, it might be wise to go a more traditional route. That said, if you can muster the courage to sort out consistent treatments, this tai chi technique is truly life altering, in the best possible way.

Santa Monica Sports Massage

I am so grateful that I found Michelle at Santa Monica Sports Massage!…read more As a long distance runner, I am VERY specific and picky when it comes to massages, and after moving to Santa Monica, I was struggling to find a therapist who had the education and knowledge of the body that is necessary in providing a quality sports focused session. I strongly believe in massages that leave you feeling like you've experienced a significant difference, and Michelle is capable of that and more. I recently raced in the Chicago Marathon and sessions with Michelle were not a need but a must during my training cycle! Anytime I had pain or a niggle come up, Michelle would know exactly what to target and focus on to help alleviate and remedy the problem area, and also helped keep my body well maintained and feeling refreshed despite running consistent high mileage. On top of her expertise, she is such a lovely person and truly cares about each of her clients! So, if you're looking for a masseuse who knows her stuff and provides top level customer service, look no further! :-)

He listens well, understands needs,…read moreexplains his approach, and he got some great results in my calves & ankles which were super locked up going into the hour. I appreciated that he assigned some "homework" to help me make physiological changes throughout the week. I've also seen Michelle a number of times and she is fantastic. I'm a runner and I've been seeing massage / physiotherapists for over a decade. These guys are great.
