Anthony is a PHENOMENAL massage therapist. My 20 yr old daughter's back was in so much pain but after an hour under his professional care, she was pain free. I have also had great massages from him! read more

Anthony is a massage angel. Literally a miracle worker. So grateful to have found his work and the Touch Institute. His healing abilities are so unique and have truly helped my healing process as an avid traveler. Looking forward to working together again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for deeply healing massage/body work. read more

My massage with Anthony was the best massage I've ever had. Anthony's knowledge and skill in using many techniques to break down tension and restore comfort and function made this massage feel like a healing experience in addition to feeling wonderfully relaxing. This is also the most comfortable massage table I've encountered. read more

I'm a cycle instructor and had never gotten a sports massage before this. LET. ME. TELL. YOU. This is not the massage you want, but the massage you NEED. Anthony was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and is incredible at his job. He has a forever client now. I got knots out that I didn't even know EXISTED. I recommended him to my entire team of instructors and I think it's safe to say he will be a staple in our self-care routine from now on. read more

You think you're stressed but when ANTHONY runs his oiled palms down your back and every inch is incredibly lumpy and once he's done with warming your problematic areas with his hands and hot stones completely erasing the signs of incredible 'work stress' .... I can't find the words to fully describe the relief. It is an ongoing process; recovering from injuries, however the experience of the calming sounds and fragrance of the oils is beyond delightful! read more

See all

Wow! Anthony!! No wonder you make the Big Bucks! I woke up this morning with absolutely no pain in my body!! Thank you so much for fixing me up! You are magic! read more

I've never had or needed sports massage/therapy, but when exercise overuse caused me knee pain for the first time two years ago, a friend told me to see Anthony. In a few sessions, my knee was back to normal and trouble free these past many months. Then two weeks ago, overuse caused the knee pain to start up again, along with a few other problems on the same leg - so back to Anthony I went. We've done two sessions and it's feeling better, but I have two years of neglect and overuse to make up for. While he works the injury deep, he knows my limits and doesn't push harder than I can take. It's not always comfortable, but I know I'm safe in his hands and he's doing all he can to get me healthy as soon as possible. And once healed, I plan to make regular "maintenance" visits to avoid exercise overuse problems in the future. Because Anthony has experience in so many healing modalities, he can create a plan specific to your problem/injury and your body's needs - far beyond the typical therapist. read more

Anthony has helped me so much. He has helped me by increasing my relaxation and reducing my stress. Any pain I had would by lessened a great deal. Muscles that were tight became completely relaxed. I have heard that all this improves the work of one's immune system. I highly recommend him! read more

I have never had an experience like this before. I was in so much pain. Never had a sports massage, and it was amazing. Anthony not only worked on every inch of my body, but he had a great vibe. I left feeling lighter, happier, and free. I drive a lot and on my feet all day . And I never take the time to take care of my body. I feel so good. And I can't wait to see how I feel tomorrow. Will definitely be going back and highly recommend him if you are in any kind of body pain. It was like medicine. Thanks, Anthony. You have a gift. It's worth every penny and more. read more

Touch Institute LA has performed near miracles for me. As an older aerial artist, mobility is important to me. Anthony has been critical in my aerial journey. I came to him injured, but through massage therapy (and physical therapy), I bounced back better than ever. He is super knowledgeable and is constantly learning how to improve his work. More importantly, he has a good attitude about taking on challenges - he's currently helping me with hypermobility issues! If you're looking to learn about what is causing your mobility impediment and to solve it, I cannot recommend TILA enough. read more

I went to the Touch Institute in El Segundo for the first time yesterday. One single session with Anthony relieved decades of muscle tightness and stress pulling my joints out of whack, sports and past stunt-related falls crippling pain, long drives and desk work and general lack of maintenance and a myriad of referred pain all over my body that had not just prevented me from physical activity but had begun to disable me to do essential daily chores unless done through pain. Quite a bit to go still before I get to a place where I can do just maintenance sessions, but I must say, I had the best night of sleep in months and woke up this AM with much less pain and tightness. Anthony has a profound knowledge of anatomy and his work is surgically precise. I highly recommend him. read more

I went to see Anthony Jasso because I was recommended to him by a friend. This was the best decision I've made. He knew exactly what to target and helped relieve my pain. He gave me the best sports/deep tissue massage. If you are an athlete and are training hard, this massage from Anthony will be the best thing for you! Super thankful for him. read more

I've had such wonderful experiences here! Natashia is incredibly knowledgeable about skincare and within three sessions my skin is looking completely reborn. Shannon also gives an intuitive massage, there was a gentle warm up and then she targeted specific muscles (going deep without leaving me tender). I love how they use high quality organic products and cater the experience to your needs. It's a perfect blend of professionalism and comfort there and I trust I am in good hands. I highly recommend and will keep coming :) read more

I love going to the Touch Institute and have been a client for many years. Everyone is so friendly and they treat you like family. I get great organic facials from Natashia and Shannon, the owner, is so nice and helpful! She always gives great advice and has helped me pick the correct products for my skin. Anthony the massage therapist is excellent at Sports Therapy too! I highly recommend this cozy beach spa!! read more

I've never had a treatment here that I didn't love. Since my last review, I've had a half hour massage from Maria which was excellent. Then, I took advantage of their Tuesday special (an hour massage for $45) and had Andrew. He was super duper professional and had an expert draping technique that I really appreciated. Entire staff is very friendly and accomodating. I will be back for a facial, foot scrub, waxing and more massages for sure. I cut and pasted above from their old location Yelp listing so I didn't have to write all that again. Today I had another excellent massage with Andrew...including an amazing (and free on special) foot scrub. I'm going to schedule another one of those very soon! read more

I highly recommend booking an appointment with Anthony. Anthony is extremely hospitable and made me feel like a friend the second I walked in. As an avid climber, I was dealing with some serious back pain. My back had years worth of tension built up and Anthony was able to get it all out. Although it was a tough process, Anthony kept me calm and relaxed throughout its entirety. I walked out the office a new man, no joke. Keep up the hard work Anthony read more

I love the Touch Institute team!! Shannon helped me with massage therapy when I was a long distance runner. She was always super engaged and kept me in the loop of different techniques and stretches she used during our sessions. Now, I keep going back to get my brows waxed by Natashia. I've been going to her for 5 years now! She is absolutely amazing and I don't even have to tell her what to do with my eyebrows - she does them perfectly every time. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

I initially came for the massage as I bought a groupon since I was in search of a good Deep Tissue massage. I went in and got my massage by Anthony, and have been going since then! He is great in know the problem areas, he knows my problem areas more than I do as I was used to just dealing with the knots. Every time I go in, i feel 1000% better. I started cycling and walking more, and my soles of my feet were hurting, and after i came out from seeing Anthony, the pain was gone, and he gave me some tips on what to do inbetween sessions. He is great, and is very knowlegeable. He starts off by checking my alignment and posture, and is able to know what areas are needed more. Anthony is great and highly recommend him! read more

I have been going to Anthony for several years now and it has been the best decision in my life! He does amazing work and I highly recommend him. Best in the business! read more

Let me first say that Anthony, the masseuse, is FANTASTIC. Unfortunately, the manager made what should have been a nice day an absolute nightmare. I gave my friend a gift card for Touch for her birthday - which was back in July. She just got around to using it and as soon as she was done with her massage the manager, Shannon told her she had already used the gift card. My friend went back to her calendar and could tell with the utmost certainty that she had not used the gift card. Shannon spoke to her in an accusatory manner and kept insisting that she had already used the card and owed money. Long story short, Shannon said there had been a mistake. But not before practically harassing my friend and alienating a very, very good customer. How very shortsighted. read more

I've been in to see Anthony twice now, and I have a whole list of people I've referred to him! I've never experienced a massage by a sports massage therapist -- Anthony and his work is absolutely unmatched. I won't spend money on massages anywhere else ever again! My first massage with Anthony was a deep tissue massage; he also incorporated some stretches. Usually, I'm left feeling disappointed and little results after deep tissue massages -- but not after seeing Anthony! He is acutely attuned to what the body needs. He worked through knots and tightness that long needed help -- AND areas (mostly in my legs) that I didn't realize needed to be worked out! I usually seek massages once or twice a year (mostly because they rarely made a difference in my body's pain, stress, or discomfort), but now that I've found Anthony (and have experienced significant positive results in my body), I've reworked my budget so I can plan on seeing him at least once per month! Plus, Anthony has a very caring and assuring personality. He is kind, respectful, and easy to talk to. I can't recommend him enough! read more

Anthony gave me life. Anthony is now apart of my life. The only reason I'd say don't go see him, is so that he'll always be available for me. He is more than a masseuse, he is a healer. read more

Anthony does an amazing job! I've felt a lot of tightness on my back muscles for quite some time and decided to come in, sad I didn't come in any sooner. The massage exceeded my expectations, Anthony left my shoulder and back feeling very relaxed, I slept much much better that night. Shannon who works there is also very friendly and easy to talk to. I highly recommend this place! read more

I credit Anthony Jasso with literally helping me walk again without a cane. I had complications from back surgery. Lots of physical therapy and exercise helped, but I credit Anthony's therapy as the final component that helped me walk close to normal. He is a caring, compassionate person. Calls to see how you are doing but never pushy. I not only recommend him, but recommend him without reservation. read more

I went with Anthony for some mid back pain and upper back/neck stiffness. I am a professional athlete tans I was banged up. Anthony's hands have magic in them and that's an understatement. He knew exactly where and what to touch and how. I would recommend you set your appt up with Anthony as soon as you feel any type of pain or discomfort. The level of professionalism and information that TILA provide is second to none. Can't wait to go back! Recently found out they stretch and massage the young kids. Might even bring my daughter the next time. read more

I have been going to touch institute for years now. I first tried them out after buying a groupon in 2012 and have been hooked ever since. They use Eminence Organics products, which is an amazing line of products that I swear by now. I am loyal to Natasha for all of my skin care needs. She gives excellent consultations and really knows how to tailor treatment to your personal skin care needs. Their prices are comparable to other spas in the area, but I keep coming back here because of the value I receive from their services. They do not try to upsale you, or quickly move you in and out. It's very obvious that the staff here truly cares about all of their clients and their well-being. read more

Anthony is great, one of the best therapist I have ever experienced! Call him when you need work done. I can only say great things about him! read more

As an ES resident, I've never heard about this place until I saw a Groupon for a swedish massage with hand or foot scrub. For frequent spa-goers, please adjust your expectations and be realistic. This is not your standard hotel spa or spa resort with huge facilities and luxury amenities. This is a small business, whose owners are actually the main therapists who'll be working with you. What TI lacks in facilities/amenities they make up for in what you are ACTUALLY paying for - a great massage treatment! Touch Institute is located on the ground floor on your left side. It's a tiny but bright, clean space. There are only 2 or 3 treatment rooms, 1 small bathroom and a couch in the waiting room. There is NO locker area/shower/sauna/lounge area. They use only organic ingredients for their treatments. Pure sesame oil was used for my massage (no, not the toasted sesame oil used in cooking) and my foot scrub was made of scented pure salt and oil. No additives, or coloring! I was fortunate enough to have Shannon (one of the owners) as my therapist. Have you ever met someone for the 1st time and just knew that they were good people? Shannon has this glow about her and I knew she was the real deal. She is AMAZING - intuitive, kind, gentle, professional, and clearly knows the human anatomy/body very well. She asked me questions that no other therapists have ever asked me and I am a frequent massage addict! For example, she asked me if I wanted a firm massage on my entire body or just trouble areas (this is something that ALL massage therapists should ask) or if I wanted a foam support below my knees. She was extremely knowledgeable about my trouble areas and what causes them (lactic acid, my posture). She also asked me to inhale the eucalyptus oil before my treatment started which was great! I came home nice and relaxed and had a deep, restful sleep. The next day I woke up with no sore aching, that usually accompanies a deep massage. Bottom line, I will definitely return to TI for a massage! If you just want a great massage without the usual spa resort frills, this is a great place to try out. Tips: -As in entire ES area, parking is FREE and never a problem (no metered street parking). Touch Institute is located directly across the street from the 99 cent store. Lots of free street parking available but if you want covered parking, just park in the 99 cent store parking lot. -There are always Groupon deals available so check out Groupon first! -Even without a Groupon, TI's pricing is extremely reasonable for massages (less than $100): http://www.touchinstitutela.com/touchinstitute/OurPrices.html -Call in advance to book an appointment. Since there are only 3 therapists, time slots are limited. -Shannon is great at swedish massages while Andrew specializes hot stone massages. -There is NO locker area/shower/sauna. You will undress and leave your things on a chair in the same treatment room where you're getting a massage. -Shannon gave me a voucher card that honored the same Groupon deal/price for a future visit. If you like your massage treatment, ask your therapist if they could give you a voucher! read more

Anthony said he would fix me and he did. He's intuitive, strong, and very sweet. I would never think something that's been hurting for weeks could be helped in 1 session. Go for the deep manipulation as it works! read more

I just received the best massage I have ever experienced from Anthony at Touch Institute Los Angeles. I felt as if I was floating after my back upgrade. Shannon, the owner, and Anthony were both really friendly and provided excellent service. read more

This place is awesome!!!! Shannon the owner is friendly and goes out of her way to accommodate schedules. I am always calling in for last minute appointments and she always works her magic. Trish is the therapist I usually see and she is amazing. I get a deep tissue massage and she reall works those knots out!!! Love this place! read more

Touch Institute is the best place for a massage! Andrew is the BEST... he is intuitive and knows exactly what to do... my headache I have had for days is gone! The people that work there are kind and loving and I can't say enough about Shannon, the owner! I am not going to wait as long as I did to get another massage.. it is so needed for my mind, body and spirit!! :) read more

Love this place. Everyone is so friendly and they really try accomodate your schedule. The organic line they use use awesome so much so I bought it for my personal daily use. read more

Great place! Great people! Everyone was friendly and Natasha is a fantastic eyebrow specialist! You should definitely go!

My first visit here was 2 years ago, and I have been a regular client ever since. I have usually seen Andrew for massages. He is excellent at finding your sore spots and working those areas. I have recently seen Monica, and she is very good as well. I see Natashia for facials that I really enjoy. Have also seen Natashia for other skin treatments - all great. I also like the Eminence organic products they use for facials. The business is well run by Shannon. It has a professional, clean environment. All employees are friendly and polite. Appointments are easy to schedule. They frequently have special offers. This business acts happy to have your business, unlike many other places. They want you to enjoy the experience. I love this place and highly recommend. They recently moved 1 block from Main Street to Richmond Street. New location is smaller but service has not changed - still great. Yelp reviews at previous location did not carry over to this one for some reason. Look up "Touch Institute Los Angeles" and look for one that says "MOVED". You can see the previous reviews - mostly 5's with a few 4's - nothing lower. If you are looking for a spa in the area, definitely try this place. I always enjoy my experiences here. They will treat you well. Located in El Segundo with free parking, and near lots of great restaurants. Area is very safe and walk-able. read more

This place is a gem! They were able to take me late and on very short notice when I was in terrible pain. The staff and the therapist were knowledgable, experienced and wonderful! The facility itself is clean and pleasant with plenty of parking, and their prices are much better than many of the facilities in the South Bay. read more

Anthony is amazing! He worked out tons of knots in my shoulders, back and neck. I feel 100% better after just two sessions! Please go see him for your deep tissue and sports massages! read more

Hands down, the best massage I've ever had today. Anthony, was amazing and really knew how to manipulate my shoulders and neck. Exactly what I needed after a long week. Not only did I have the most amazing massage, I called last min. and they accommodated me with such great friendly service. I will go no place else now!! read more

Natashia is the best. I've been going to her since 2001, at her other location! And I will follow her anywhere! She's the best

I tried massage, waxing, and facial at other locations and I have settled on Touch Institute as my primary place for these services. I find the quality top notch even though other locations are cheaper - and great personal service and staff. read more
