I think this review is mostly for any women thinking of going to see him for a therapeutic massage…read more I am in so much pain today after my session from yesterday. 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 went to Eugene for a shoulder injury. He was working on my injured shoulder and it was so painful…read moreI began to cry. I never cried SO hard from pain. I was bawling out. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Today August 13 I came for and hour to treat the lower back and right hip and I am feeling better.
