I came to VFE (Vision For Enrichment) because I had pain in my left shoulder from working out. It had not gone away for a few months so, i was easier to try anything. After just one session with Jonathan, the pain decreased. After the second session, I noticed the pain was completely gone. Jonathan is amazing and really informative. I have noticed, my body and muscles are much more relaxed, and there is no pain anywhere. I would recommend Jonathan hands down. I will continue to come back. Also, the conditions of the business are exceptional, clean, and safe. read more

Love VFE! I recently met with Johnathan and was blown away by his knowledge and attention to some persistent issues with my feet and calves. He created a list of what he was going to target and was very open with his communication on how he planned to help. He has a great sense of humor too which helps a lot when he's attacking all those painful knots! After just one session I felt renewed. He's the real deal. Wish I could give 6 stars! read more

I owe a gigantic THANK YOU to my favorite sports therapist, Rich Lorton @vision4enrichment I've been visiting Rich for 5 years now. He has helped me through a few injuries. Rich always knows the root of the problem, as well as how to help me manage and navigate through the injury. I trust in his knowledge and expertise. I allow him to massage through pain because I know he's getting the spot that needs to be addressed. I appreciate that he is flexible with my schedule and that I can see him at various locations, making it convenient and easy for me to see him. I feel lucky and privileged that I get to be seen by him, as I know he is always on high demand and almost always fully booked. Rich is simply the best, no one compares. Can't thank him enough for taking the best care of me and many other athletes. We owe him a big part of our success because of his tremendous help and encouragement. I recommend Rich to my friends and family always. read more

5 stars all the way! If you're a runner and experiencing some issues this is the place to come. I have been using VFE for about a year now and it has really helped me stay healthy and keep running and racing all year. I ran 4 races last year (3 half marathons and a 30k) and PR'd my half marathon 1:43:17 and took 20 minutes off my 30k time and finished first in my age group. I could not have done this with out the help of VFE. I first came to Rich because of a problem I was having with my hip which caused me to drop out of LA Marathon last year. I was told by a doctor (who is not part of VFE) that I had tendonitis in my hip and should stay off of it. Months went by and I wasn't getting any better and would always feel pain and burning sensations in my hip. I started suspecting that this could be a misdiagnosis.. I knew a few runners who used VFE and saw that they were improving drastically and others who were running 100 mile races sucessfully, so I decided to give VFE a try. ONE SESSION with Rich and I literally ran 12 miles the next day and ran M2B half  marathon two months later without pain.  The last several months I have been going to Tricia Strawn who I would highly recommend. She is a great person and extremely thorough. Even the times when I'm feeling good, She always finds something for me to work on. I have received priceless advice from her and ran strong and healthy all because of her. She makes me feel like a VIP and I sooo appreciate her and all the time that she has spent working on me. My two PR's last year are because of her. I am and will be seeing her regularly from now on. Thank you Tricia! read more

Steven takes the time to talk to you and hear what you are going through. He has remarkable insight into what is causing your pain and how to return your body's balance. I came in with some leg issues related to running and cycling. Steven listened patiently and had me perform basic movements to get an understanding of why I was experiencing pain. We worked through the body's mechanics and drilled down to nitty gritty of the sources of my pains and soreness. He took me through an epic journey of sports massage that alleviated my muscle and joint aches. If your body needs a recovery trip, you could not ask for a better travel buddy than Steven. read more

I highly recommend VFE. I met April at the Rose Bowl about a year ago at a Monday fun run with a local running club. The back of my hip was bothering me and April did her magic! After that I didn't have any issues. After running the L.A. marathon this year, I probably didn't give myself a proper recovery time. So I suffered some injury to my leg calf muscle. I got in touch with April and scheduled a session with her, after 3 sessions my leg felt so much better. From not being able to walk, I'm now able walk fast again! I'm listening to my body but when I try to run a few steps, I feel no more pain. If you ever have any issues or simply need some maintenance, April is your gal!!!! read more

I've been working with Tricia for four years, and she is the best massage therapists I've ever worked with. Every time I go to her with pain she gets in all tight areas, releases all the muscle knots, and I feel much lighter after. Besides body work, she educates her clients, I personally learned a lot from her. She is so knowledgeable and good at what she does that I don't even need to get into the details. As soon as I tell her what hurts, she knows exactly what to work on to release the tension. She is AMAZING! There is no other word to describe her. I highly recommend Vision for Enrichment to everyone! read more

Came in and was extremely disappointed with Rich, I stated the problem areas on my body and it was more like a rub down than a sports massage. Definitely won't be back I would recommend trying another business! read more

Came for calf issues after long trail run. Fantastic work got me back and going asap. Highly recommend. Daisy did an amazing job.

I was having some pain in my left knee, which was compromising my workouts. I had never received a sports therapy massage prior to booking an appointment with Jonathan. I was skeptical that a massage would be able to help my knee at all, but I figured why not give it a try. My expectations were far exceeded! Jonathon squeezed me into his schedule the same day. He was very welcoming from the beginning, ensuring that the environment itself was comfortable for me. To get started, Jonathon asked me some questions and took an assessment of what exactly was bothering me. He took a moment to plan what areas we were going to work on during that session. He then took his time to diligently explain what to expect as we worked through the therapy. Even throughout the session, he made sure to explain to me what was coming next. As the session came to a finish Jonathan had me perform some workouts, that prior to the therapy were causing pain in my knee, and the difference was noticeable instantly. I had a lot of walking to do that same weekend and I was completely pain free after my session with Jonathan. He also texted me to follow up and see how I felt a couple days later. I could see that he really did care. I am looking forward to future visits with Jonathan to concentrate on maintenance and proactivity. Thank you Jonathan! read more

Rich and Tricia are both great massage therapists. I recently had a bodywork session with Rich post soccer injury. He was able to loosen up my leg and provide some relief from some restrictions I was experiencing. He uses different creams based on your injury or situation which is great! Schedule regular sessions with Rich and you will be moving better! read more

if you're an elite athlete or just a regular gym goer, if you have muscle tightness anywhere in your body, you definitely have to come and get work done with them! Rich, the owner is the nicest person you will ever meet. He connected me with Angel who I have been getting work on the past few years and she will help you get where you need to be! Im a big guy about 300LBS and lately my hamstrings and calves have been super tight. I'm able to run now for about 20 minutes on the treadmill with no tightness or pain! read more

I started going to a Rich a few years back when my R.A was causing my muscles to stiffen up. I was having a very hard time walking, I was up to 800 milligrams of Ibuprofen per day, my legs were swollen and I had tried all sorts of balms and even tried pool therapy. Nothing seemed to work. It never occurred to me to visit a sports massage therapist till another doctor suggested it. I made an appointment, hobbled my way to his office and for the first time in weeks I finally felt relief and hope that things would get better. It took various sessions before I could walk normal again. It would take several months to start running again. I can't thank Rich enough for helping me get back on my feet. I will forever be in debt with him. Anytime I hear anyone with injuries or pain I always point them in VFE's direction. Rich is my go to guy but he's usually booked a week in advance so don't ever wait last min to book an appointment. However, he does have additional help now and although I'm biased and will say he's the best he wouldn't bring on additional team members if they didn't hold up to VFE standards. read more

I met Julio when VFE was giving free demos at a race. I'd been skeptical about getting sports massage, since I'm pretty good at loosening my muscles on my own after running. But after Julio worked on my leg, I realized that I still had a lot to learn. I decided to try out a full session, and found out that I had a lot more tight muscles than I thought, much more than could be fixed with just an hour. Over the course of several 1 hr sessions, he fixed up my tight glutes / shins / IT band / quads, all my leg muscles. My hip flexors (psoas) were always very tight every time I went to see him. Julio figured out that my right glute wasn't firing correctly, and gave me some exercises to strengthen it. I started concentrating on firing my glutes more when running, and miraculously, all sorts of chronic pain and muscle tightness issues started going away! Not only that, I found I could run faster for longer runs, and with less pain. Julio is very knowledgeable, and an all around great guy. Being a fellow runner, he knows particularly well the ins and outs of how to fix up runners' issues. He gives great advice, and tells you what to do in between sessions, too. Thanks to him, I've improved my running gait, resolved longstanding pain & stiffness, and I've become a much better runner. I owe my qualifying for the Boston Marathon at the Tunnel Light marathon all to him! He's also been great with helping fix up some chronic issues w/ back / shoulder / arm pain that I've had for decades, not just sports related problems. I wish I'd gone to see him 25 years ago, because he helped me resolve pain that chiropractors/orthopedists/physical therapists couldn't fix! I still see him every few weeks, to get a tune-up. Thanks to his advice, I don't have have him work on my every week anymore. read more

I'm so glad to have been introduced to VFE and Chelsea. I never realized how beneficial this type of sports massage/therapy was for my body. Chelsea has hands of gold and recently saved my life after an intense back injury. She was able to loosen all the muscle that tightened up due to the injury. I will note, this isn't a light touch massage, be ready to endure some pain.... Like I always tell Chelsea I don't know how something can hurt so bad but feel so good at the same time. Definitely check VFE out! read more

I've been going to VFE and working with Rich on a pretty regular basis for nearly a year now. I was referred to him by another athlete at CrossFit Resistance (his office is located inside) when I started having horrible pain in my low back and hip. I vaguely told Rich where the pain was and he immediately knew what to do and got to work. Though I had not been able to train for about a week, after the first visit I was back to normal training again immediately with no pain and better mobility and range of motion; I also felt like I was walking more evenly. Lately I'll pre-book an appointment for my next visit and will go just for maintenance to prevent injury. Reasons I keep going back to VFE: 1. They listen to their clients 2. The treatments are effective 3. They will tell you what to do to stretch so you can prevent future injury 4. The environment is quite, friendly, and comfortable I highly recommend Vision for Enrichment to anyone! read more

I heard about this place from a friend and haven't gone anywhere else since! Angel works on both my dad and I and we couldn't be happier. Both of us have been going to chiros for over a decade and i feel as if we've finally been able to find someone to address the root of our pains. I have and will continue to recommend Angel to anyone who is hurting. read more

I have recommended many to Vision For Enrichment because they are simple great. I have suffered from an on going inquiry for over a year, I was forced to stop running. I was recommended by my fiance to go see Rich...I don't know why it took me so long to see him. I had gone to several therapist and no one helped much until I went to VFE!!! Rich got me up and running and I couldn't be any more grateful. I continue to see him regularly to ensure that I give my body the proper care. The therapists are athletes themselves so that's a plus, because they can put themselves our shoes. They are friendly and sweet....highly recommend! read more

I have been going to Tricia for about 17 months now and my body feels amazing ever since I started seeing her. Her bodywork sessions are amazing, you don't even have to tell her where it's tight or what needs work because she knows as soon as she starts working on you. Her hands are seriously like magic and release all of the tight spots in your body. If you care about body recovery, you will not regret a session Tricia!!! read more

Been seeing Rich and his team for almost a decade. Through all the different phases of my life, from being younger healthy and athletic Through sickness injuries and diagnosis. Recently finished chemotherapy and can say I'm baby Step learning to trust my body again and I still trust rich and his team to support me through It. Even the location being at the CrossFit gym is part of the healing process for me to feel and experience the energy of the community and have an opportunity to socialize again after being in isolation for so long with my healing journey. and since I still got the mind of an athlete But a body that isn't there yet I needed someone to work with me differently this time post chemo and rich referred me to Eric who works with the nervous system and fascia. In just one session I knew he knew what my body had been through and he has been guiding me with his knowledge to understand my body's needs. in just a few weeks we have made profound progress with finding lost connections and reconnecting the pathways back with mind/body. Super gratefulY'all are magical! read more

Not sure why it took me so long to write a review for VFE. Actually, I lie. I know why it took me soooooooo long to write a review. It's because I was ashamed to admit I looked forward to a man rubbing on me. But please don't take that the wrong way. Rich Lorton is that man. All you have to do is point in the area you're feeling pain or discomfort and his magic hands, elbows and forearms will do the rest. He'll even explain to you which muscle he's working on and if it sounds like he's making it up, he's not. He actually really does know the different muscles and how they connect. I was having back pain and when I got on the table ... He had me lay on my back and all I kept thinking was 'Rich, my back is hurting how you gonna get to my back if I'm laying on it?!?' He starting tugging on my psoas ... Yes my PSOAS (Google that shit, I did) and it alleviated the pain. At that point I knew Rich was the real deal. Look him up on FB, call or text him. Get on that table. Thank me later. Reasonable pricing for the relief you'll feel. Don't be ashamed to feel good being rubbed by Rich. Just don't get on the table all sweaty ... I did and felt really bad but he was really nice about it and didn't give me a hard time. I'm sure he's used to it working on athletes who train in MMA, crossfit and runners alike. Love ya Rich! read more

I highly recommend Chris for any athlete having pain or just basic maintenance. He is very knowledgeable and has always been able to pinpoint and make corrections to my body as needed. I am an Olympic Weightlifter and was having major back pain which was actually a hip issue. Chris was able to correct the issue in one session. He is worth every penny! read more

I've been a client of Vision For Enrichment (Angel ) for over two years now and it was one of the best decisions I could have ever made. As a jiu jitsu instructor, I put my body through a lot of physical toll and stress. In my mid 20s I was already getting crippling back pain and my shoulders were so stiff I couldn't move them with a full range of motion. That's until I came here and worked with Angel. With her expertise in body mechanics and physical therapy, she was able to identify the source of my back and shoulder pain/issues and immediately corrected them through intense massaging and cupping therapy. She also gives me a series of exercises and stretches that help alleviate completely all the pain and stiffness. After working with her for so long, my body feels complete rejuvenated and I can continue training and teaching without worrying about injuring myself or hampering my performance. Highly recommend especially if you are heavily involved in physical activities (weightlifting, fighting, running, etc.). read more
