Best Kept Secret in LA

by RubyH at Citysearch

First off, let me tell you that I?ve been in 2 car accidents have lots of scar tissue and have been in chronic pain and soreness for some time. I?ve been to a myriad of massage therapists, including acupuncturists, chiropractors and rolfers.

I was referred to ?Radiance of Life? and have been back three times since. I think ?Radiance of Life? is the best-kept secret of LA. Lu gives the best deep tissue massage I have EVER had and I have experienced many! Lu is a wonder and a joy and her place is adorable, relaxing and inviting. She has surpassed everyone?s attempts at trying to get my muscles to relax and get my shoulders to go down. She knows exactly where and how to touch and the pressure she is capable of exerting is SUPER-HUMAN. Employing a variety of techniques according to what you need during the course of the hour, she does not stop until all of the kinks are worked out. As a result, the effects of her massage last for almost 2 weeks. Almost unheard of for someone in my condition!! I sleep better, I am more relaxed and at ease and I feel like exercising again. When she is finished with me, I forget I have a neck it is so relaxed. With each visit the success has been palpable, the chiropractor has also noticed and I can put my shoulders down again! As a diehard devotee of her massages, I will undoubtedly continue to drive all the way from the Valley to Larchmont. It is well worth it!

• Pros: An amazing price for an amazing massage!!!

Very worth the money

I must say I was very pleased today when I experienced this place. I have been reading online reviews of several places and when I cam e across this tiny larchmont spa with all good reviews I thought that there must be a catch. I made a phone call and they were extremely nice, gave me a first time discount and were very honest about all of there different options. Aside from not being the quietest spa i have been too I had to understand that for 44 dollars in wont be perfect. It was one of the better massage I have had in a long time. The ladies were very nice, a little flirty but definitely worth the 44 dollars I spent... I will definitely go back.

• Pros: Price, size and ease of getting in and out

Great place for massage.

This little mini day spa is a wonderful place for massage. I had terrible back pain for about 2 months and nothing could help. I turned to massage therapy. I went to Radiance Of Life for help and after 1 1/2 hour massage, I felt like a different person. After a few more sessions my pain was gone!!!!! That was the most amazing thing for me after 2 months of pain.

The owner, Luriya, is always wonderful with her warm welcome, accomodating, and friendliness. The price is very affordable. Radiance Of Life locates in Larchmont Village which has variety of stores, coffee shops, and resturants. I highly recommend this place for anyone who has back pain. Try once and you'll be back for more.

• Pros: skillful staff, affordable, relaxing, great location
