LA Sports Massage

Renzo really knows how to work on your problem spots. He did wonders on my tight calf muscles and made some good suggestions about other steps I could take to help with the tightness in my calf muscles.

I would recommend him for any serious athlete!

• Pros: Great sports massage
• Cons: None

I have been put through the ringer.

and I mean this in the best possible way. Seriously.

If you want a massage that can really pinpoint areas given by very well trained sports massage specialists, then this is your place.

Do you have to be an "athlete" to come here? Hell no. I know many an athlete that has benefitting from visiting this place, but your average, everyday mortal can also benefit from these targeted techniques. Is it going to be all "trickling fountain in the background, time to go to sleep"? no. Are you going to feel some serious work being done to problem areas? yup.

Sean (Shawn? Shaun? - sorry!) spent time on the areas I had noted in my form and really made notable progress on alleviating some tightness. He found some new spots where I did not know I was tight, but I think it brings joy to massage therapists to find those happy little spots, don't you agree?

He showed me a little stretch I could do for my fasciitis tendon that will help me as I put in longer miles in training. He spent time on my very abused lower back and my even more abused shoulders. I finished the session feeling a bit sore, but for the better.

This place is clean, there seems to be ample parking, it is easy to get to (right across from Rainbow Market) and I look forward to my next session.

• Pros: knowledgeable, experienced
• Cons: no fluffy robes and slippers. ;)

Renzo Rocks!

by laqtgrl at Citysearch

I had my first massage with Renzo last night and it was amazing. Having had massages before but never a sports massage, I had no idea what to expect. Five minutes in and I knew I was being treated to something special. After little instruction, he honed in on all of my problem areas with firm yet gentle touches. After an hour, I was hooked. I walked out feeling like million bucks and even better today. I would highly recommend LA Sports Massage to any athlete, novice like myself to elite. Treat yourself, you will not be disappointed.

• Pros: Skill, technique, communication
• Cons: None

Great for sports injuries

LA Sports Massage is great! They treatment is effective and not as painful as I was imagining. After 1 treatment I noticed a significant decrease in pain/ tightness. Dennis works other muscles that he feels may attribute to the problem and this makes a big difference.

• Pros: Very effective
• Cons: only 1 night availbale for late appoitments

Highly Recommend LA SPORTS MASSAGE

I'm very happy to have re-connected with LA Sports Massage at their new location on Washington Blvd. I had requested very specific work on deep-seated,hard-to-reach muscle groups. Dennis and Jason were 'spot-on' with their work. As a cyclist, I have seen an improvement with leg speed and power based on massage work. LA Sports Massage staff are true professionals with progressive knowledge in sports massage. We're lucky to have them on the westside! Location is convenient and parking is abundant.

• Pros: Experienced Massage Staff
• Cons: none
