Dr Stites DC- Orthopedic Manual Therapy Department

Weekly sports massage with Raul Quintana has been an integral part of my training regimen for over 10 years and I credit him with helping to keep me injury free so I can continue performing at a high level. Any time I have the slightest niggle or pain, Raul is able to figure out the source of the issue, work on it, and I'm usually better within a single session. Raul is very talented massage therapist and I highly recommend him.

The sports massage with Raul Quintana has shifted my body pain specifically targeted for my shoulder + allowed release of much stored tension. Raul is incredibly knowledgeable + thorough in his approach. I highly recommend him to get in there + work things out @ the source!

Together, Dr. Marty and Raul, the dynamic duo, nursed me back from a neck condition that all the docs were saying would need surgery. Instead, with patience and nuance, and extraordinary hands, Doc Marty and Raul nursed me back to 100% health. I am beyond grateful to have literally been in such good hands. It pays not to go the easy way-- the trick is aligning with the best in their field, and Dr. Marty and Raul are just that. Forever grateful!

Came to Raul based on recommendation from client. Had presented signs of carpal tunnel and was told by orthopedic surgeon that surgery might be necessary. After 3-4 visits with Raul, he had loosened the nerve/tendon/muscle causing the tingling sensation and it has not returned since. No surgery needed. Highly recommend.

I love this place. I have seen Stephanie and Raul several times each. They are both very consistent in sitting down, listening about my resolved/recurring/new issues, recommending a plan and getting to work! I feel like a new person every time I walk out of their office. They have also given me countless recommendations for self massage and stretching at home to manage issues between sessions. These are masters in their field and are born healers. Give them a shot, you will not be disappointed!

Seeing Raul at Balanced Body Works for manual orthopedic therapy is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I have a very physical job and an active outdoor adventure lifestyle so my body can get pretty beat up. Frozen shoulder started setting in on my left shoulder from the multiple injuries/strains I’ve sustained over the years and the numerous bouts of physical therapy I’ve had have never helped. I started regaining motion after one session with Raul and my range and strength in that arm has greatly improved. I’m having him work on the rest of my body now to undo all of the years of physical strain I’ve put it through. I actually woke up with an excruciating strain through my hip and thigh last weekend and could hardly walk. I went in to see Raul and he had me walking again in an hour. So grateful that I found him. I highly recommend him. He’s professional and personable and knows his stuff. He has evening hours too! Take care of your body now so that it still works later!

I have been searching for a good, effective sports massage in LA for years and I finally found it here! For me, massage keeps me injury free in my very active lifestyle. I see Ian, and I’m very happy with the results! I’m not sure what you call the style, but he really focuses on specific problem areas. I walk in a tin woman and i wake up the next day with a discernible relief :) Thanks Ian!

Ulysses is hands-down the best massage therapist I have ever encountered. He's very attentive, professional and knows how to work through muscle tensions to relieve pain and dissolve built up knots. I've had chronic back and shoulder pain pretty much since I can remember and tried many different approaches with little relief. After seeing Ulysses for a few weekly sessions, I felt like a new person. Unfortunately, it gets pricey to get regular massages which is why I had to stop for a while - and my body is not happy about it.
