The massage industry is filled with therapists who use a cookie cutter approach to their massages. Before our session I will ask about any concerns or areas of tension in your body and they will always be taken into consideration. Whether your goal is improvement of soft tissue health or relaxation or a combination of the two, we can work together to find the massage that's right for you.
For over a decade, l've helped thousands of clients from elite athletes to everyday professionals recover faster, perform better, and stay pain-free without relying on pills or endless PT sessions. I've worked in spas, chiropractic offices/medical settings, sporting events and have tremendous knowledge about the body as far as soft tissue is concerned. I've worked with every demographic of the population and am especially in tune with all of my clients needs.
It is standard practice for massage establishments to falsely advertise that they charge so and so price for a "60 minute massage." When you book with me you will be on the table for at least the time you booked for. I try to allow at least a 20 minute window between appointments to ensure there is no rush.
I will never charge you for being late, canceling or re-booking. I know from living and driving all over LA county, how frustrating it is to try to schedule things and keep all your appointments. Just try your best to let me know ahead of time if you cannot make it on time or if you have to reschedule.

Best for relieving your swelling and draining fatigue
Sports massage therapy is geared toward athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend joggers. The particulars of the sports massage technique are specific to the athlete's sport of choice. Focusing on areas of the body that are overused and stressed from repetitive and often aggressive movements.
Best for relieving your muscle tension and improving circulation
A type of massage therapy, deep tissue massage uses firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). This method of massage is used for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, lower back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
Best for relaxation, improving circulation & flexibility
Relaxing the entire body is one of the primary goals of this technique. Muscles are rubbed with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation & flexibility while easing tension.
Trusted by athletes and everyday professionals. Every client’s story is unique, but the common thread is better movement, less pain, and faster recovery. See what others have to say about their experience.
Real Results, Real People

Today, Chris provided an exceptional massage experience. From the moment I walked in, he was attentive and genuinely listened to my concerns about my recurring sciatic issue. Throughout the session, he remained completely engaged, constantly checking in to ensure my comfort and adjusting his techniques accordingly.
His patience and understanding were evident as I shared details about my pain and worries about aggravating the nerve. He took the time to thoroughly assess my needs and concerns, demonstrating a deep understanding of both my health and the muscles requiring attention.
I truly appreciate Chris’s professionalism and grace in delivering his services. His dedication to his craft shines through, and I am grateful for individuals like him who share their gift with such care and expertise.
I can’t thank Chris enough for the incredible massage experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in search of effective deep tissue work.

I sleep much better after his massages, and his bodywork keeps me going so l can continue to work out. He is strong, consistent, and thoughtful in his approach, and his experience (10+ years) and expertise clearly shows. Also, for anyone who is squeamish about male massage therapists, he is completely professional and just a nice guy.

Chris is an amazing masseuse! I see him for recovery from working out and being generally active. He is the best therapist I’ve worked with. Can do it all - relaxation, therapeutic, full body or just focus on specific areas. I used to get massages at Equinox, but he is much better! Highly recommend him!
Found Chris thru Yelp. I've been searching for a new massage therapist after my last one relocated to San Diego. Finding someone who is legitimate and can apply the right pressure can be a challenge. (I'm a personal trainer based in Redondo Beach. Wear and tear is the common theme for this body.) I was specifically looking for an independent massage therapist after paying much more for professional studios where I wasn't as fond of the sessions given. Chris, though? He's the real deal. He has an understanding of the muscles being utilized in select exercises, so that really made a difference in his technique. I can handle deep tissue massages and I'll tell ya his style is on point. I'll be recommending my own clients to see him after searching for a new therapist the last few months. Definitely worth the time and money. You can also schedule thru his website which is extremely convenient. Thanks again, Chris. I'll see you soon, brotha!

I've had a lifetime of major injuries that keep me off my feet or unable to do a lot of things. So, I came to see Chris.
Firstly, the office is welcoming, clean, and offers great beverages while you wait. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about providing tailored, niche treatment for you, which is rare.
100% will be a regular with Chris so I can get back to myself!!
10/10 all around

Chris should be your go-to massage therapist in the South Bay.
You can tell from talking with Chris before the massage that he has a passion for helping people.
During the massage, it is pure bliss having someone knowledgeable work the muscles that need attention - being active with life and sports we all seem to have spots that lock up - He knows right where to go and takes his time to warm up the muscle before doing deep tissue.
Just wish I found him sooner!
