Los Angeles Thai Massage & Prehabilitation

I had a session that fixed me. I went for a very intricate problem. An injury to the neck that went down to my rib cage breast area and down the arm. The therapy was effective, thorough and done in a very polite way. My issue was solved and I feel a lifted weight from the impingement I experienced that no one else I went to for healing could find the spot or know what to do. I spent many years at chiro appointment clinics, acupuncture, massage, yoga etc. Nothing could relieve me until I was referred to, Daniel, at Los Angles Thai massage.

I’ve known Dan for over twenty years. He was the best martial arts instructor I’ve ever had and now he’s followed this path to healing. He’s helped me with a lot of things and blown everyone else I’ve seen for body work out of the water. This time I came in with planar fasciitis. My heals have been killing me. Right away he figure out what was needed and went to work on my lower legs. He broke up my shin splints and worked his way up my leg. I immediately felt some relief and as my legs are healing up so are my heels. If you’re looking for a no baloney master of deep tissue massage, Dan is the man. He’s also much stronger than most practitioners so he can dig deeper than they can.

I come from a wrestling/construction background and had some pretty terrible lower back/shoulder/ and neck issues before coming to see Daniel.

The results have been immediate even after the first session. After 5 sessions now I no longer have any of the issues I initially came to see him about.

Daniel has completely alleviated my lower back pain and I'm now able to work out for longer and more regularly and generally he's helped me get back into the swing of things as far as living an active lifestyle goes.

If you know Thai Massage, this the real deal!!! Follow directions this man is the fountain of youth!!!!Once you email, he answers right away!!! Once you set appointment remember, follow directions!!! 1st time arrival early is a must and once you tell him your pain, he will identify and explain. Then the magic happens. I promise if you go once and he fixes your issue, keep coming thats when the rejuvenation happens. Take my word for it this man is the best things thats ever happened to me!!!!!!!!! Highly, no extremely recommended!!

Amazingly fast results combined with extremely generous care and attention. Daniel has already changed my life. Some results so far:

After 30 min (!!), my locked-up hip flexors released to the point where I was standing much straighter.

After 3 sessions, the radiating nerve pain in my right quad/IT band is gone (something not achieved by 10 years of traditional physical therapy, massage and acupuncture).

I have more range of motion in my hips than I've had in 15 years.

Now we're working on my neck and shoulders. My shoulders have dropped 2 inches after two sessions.

It is AMAZING to feel hopeful about regaining freedom of movement and greater energy, when I had begun to give up hope!

I began seeing Daniel when I was five months pregnant. After experiencing sharp back pain while trying to sleep, I knew I needed to address the root of the issue before matters became worse and I'd have to experience a sleep-deprived pregnancy.

After one session, Daniel addressed my back pain and I experienced immediate relief. He also addressed an old shoulder injury that I'd forgotten about - I'd become so used to the dull pain. Months later, I still have complete relief from this injury that had plagued me for years.

Although I had relief after the first session, each session thereafter I became more comfortable with daily activities. I was able to sleep soundly throughout my entire pregnancy - even during the ninth month when so many women wake up in the middle of the night because of discomfort. I slept peacefully until the last day.

I'm incredibly grateful for Daniel's expertise. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to address back discomfort and pain safely and effectively.

Life changing! For nearly two decades I had chronic back pain that worsened as I continued to play club sports through repeated injuries, including a severe tear of the ankle ligament that led to long-term complications. I stopped playing a few years ago because the pain became unbearable despite trying various therapies, exercises and acupuncture without success. About six months ago, I had severe back spasms that required treatment at urgent care and an NSAID injection—which provided relief for a few days.

My colleague referred me to Daniel, and after two sessions I felt a dramatic decrease in symptoms. After he worked on my legs and back, and broke up scar tissue and adhesions around my shin muscles, I immediately noticed that I walked straighter and without the stiffness I had grown accustomed to.

I have not had any back issues for the past two months, and I can finally sit through the work day without pain medication. I highly recommend Daniel. He is truly a miracle worker!

I had debilitating lower back pain and TMJ (it was so bad I couldn't close my jaw and chew solid food). I saw Orthopedics, PTs, a chiropractor and TMJ specialists for each respective issue and received multiple treatments (injections, etc). Nothing worked and I started to lose hope.

My father-in-law referred me to Daniel and he immediately identified the cause of my pain: immense scar tissue in each area. After a few sessions I was almost pain free and could chew solid foods again (phew!). After a month of working with Daniel, I was able to resume normal physical activity. I couldn't believe it!

Daniel's deep tissue thai massage coupled with his prehab exercises have done wonders for me. If you are in pain, I highly recommend you see him. He is a master of his craft!

The effects of my treatments with Dan have made my life into B.D. and A.D. (before Dan and after Dan). I’m a woman in my mid 30’s who had been dealing with chronic head and neck pain for years, after spending my teens and twenties as a rabid headbanger, and in addition to this, I’d experienced other head and jaw injuries, making a mess of my MRIs. My injuries began to lead to increasing nerve trouble, oscillating between pain and numbness throughout my entire body.

I saw Dan for the first time 6 weeks ago, and have just finished my 3rd biweekly session with him. Since the first session, I feel like I’ve lost 50 pounds from my head and neck, from which the pain has miraculously vanished. Since my first treatment, I haven’t had a single headache or any nerve pain, which before were daily challenges.

The very instant he began the treatment, a lightness arose as he worked to break up the scar tissue around my neck, upper back, and jaw. The process can be (and was) necessarily intense, as that is what it takes. That being said, Dan is a master of reading the body in such a way he moves or stops exactly the moment it might be too much. The crisp and confident intentional energy of healing, and his talent of precision are evident at first touch which, for me, granted an immediate trust in his process. His ability to trace the exact pathway of pain in the body and to release it is truly incredible and effective. Every single movement and pressure felt like exactly the right thing for my body and what it needed to heal.

Even though he only worked around my neck, it created a chain of effects throughout my entire body, from an improved heartbeat to brighter vision to easier deeper breath and opened lungs. My voice became stronger, clearer, my attention and focus much enhanced. My face was instantly more alive and relaxed. The entire length of my spine seemed to suddenly stack into perfect alignment. As a serious yoga practitioner, I must say it is allowing me to improve and deepen my practice to an unprecedented degree. These effects have persisted through my day to day experiences since my first session.

Though the first session felt incredibly effective, the second time it went even deeper. This time, it felt as if my entire nervous system, especially the nerves in my neck, arms, and chest, (yet also even extending into my hips and legs) had been given a power wash, as if grit and stagnation had been blown out of my neural pathways, replaced with a healthy, alive, river of feeling. The plethora of other effects initiated during the first session also deepened.

My third session was a couple of days ago, and again the improvements have increased. His treatment really has been a miracle of healing, and a sense of vitality has replaced a heavy, stagnant sensation, delivering a profound life improvement.

It is hard to believe how effective this has been. I cannot emphasize enough the skill of Dan, who has a genius level of talent at what he does. He is a rare gift and a genuinely likeable person. Anyone who experiences Dan’s treatment is extremely lucky…he is truly a world master. Thank you so so so much, Dan! Get Slayer and the other headbangers in there quick!

I suffer with scoliosis and Daniel was able to get to the scar tissue almost immediately and found the problem. Within minutes I felt my body shift and a huge weight lifted. I saw balance in my shoulders & overall posture. Definitely going to continue treatment.
