Los Angeles Thai Massage & Prehabilitation

I've been seeing Daniel periodically for the past 5 months after being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and feeling out of options after trying everything I could research on mitigating joint pain. Daniel has the best intuition on the human body of anyone I've ever met, and our sessions often expand beyond the massage itself but also on specific stretches and stability exercises to do in my own time. In this time, I've mitigated the joint pain, eased off medication, gained about 10 pounds of muscle and a new level of mental clarity, something I couldn't achieve working with a personal trainer and physical therapist and training twice as hard with weight training. Couldn't be more grateful for the mindset shift and body awareness Daniel has brought in my life.

I have been meaning to write this review for months. I found Daniel through nothing but divine intervention on the heels of a cross country move and an injury that left me temporarily bedridden. I was holding all sorts of old wounds in my body from being a year round athlete and dancer. He got me realigned while teaching me quite a bit about the body and Buddhism (I asked). I felt such intense relief from the first session. I had forgotten my body could feel that way. My lower body was most critical at that time and I’m looking forward to another round for my upper body. He is intuitive and holistic while also being so grounded and no nonsense. If you’re looking to actually have a problem addressed at the root, he is your man.

I tore a neck muscle from a climbing incident, and since the initial recovery I had been tormented by constant tension, stiffness, and loss of dexterity since. It was difficult for me to do mundane things like read a book or even just sitting down without feeling like my head and shoulders weighed a hundred pounds. I tried various rounds of physical therapy, exercise, yoga, stretches, and other Thai massage, but everything ended up as surface-level pain remediation than addressing the root issue. Feeling out of options, I turned to Daniel to see what he could offer. Immediately he identified the scar tissue buildup around my neck and knew what to do. The sessions are definitely painful, but in a good way; I knew it was releasing tension and opening my body up in ways it hadn't been for a long time. For the first time I finally have real, long-term relief after feeling stuck and hopeless. If you're on the fence at all, go see him. These reviews ain't lying, he knows what he's doing.

I worked at a luxury spa with very talented and experienced practitioners and no came close to doing work like Dan. Dan has helped me and many friends (including a personal trainer, a yoga teacher, and a massage therapist) get out of pain. Another friend says with all seriousness that Dan saved his life and prevented him from needing back surgery. I hobbled into his office with terrible pain in my hip - I could barely lift my foot off the floor. Half-way through our session I could walk with ease again. Go see him.

I had the pleasure of receiving a treatment from Dan. It was an incredible experience and essentially life changing. Dan's knowledge of nerve lengthening, scar tissue breakdown, and muscular and nervous system cleansing truly shines through in his work. He was able to identify areas of tension and discomfort that I didn't even realize were present, and skillfully worked through them. Dan's technique is effective. Not only did he provide an exceptional treatment, but he also took the time to explain his process and answer any questions I had, which made me feel comfortable and well-informed throughout the entire session. I highly recommend Dan to serious people/athletes/anyone who have been suffering from serious sport injuries and life long discomfort.

Daniel is an absolute angel! I threw my back out while traveling from MN and could barely walk. I was desperate for relief and sent an email asking he had an opening that day. He gave up his lunch hour to fit me in! What he did that day was a damn miracle. By finding the right pressure points on my body, he released whatever demon was causing intense pain and I walked away from his office in zero pain. I was able to attend a wedding the next day - wearing heels - without pain. He saved my vacation! Do not hesitate to see Daniel. He made me feel so comfortable and although the manipulations were intense and painful, I could tell that the pain he was causing was the good kind - healing release. He had a great sense of humor which helped the pain. He followed up via text the next day and suggested some stretches. He even followed up two weeks later and recommended some therapists I could reach out to in Minnesota! Daniel goes the extra mile with his patients and then some. 10 stars!!

Daniel is truly AMAZING! I was experiencing back pain of unknown origin that had been an issue for approximately 2 years. I had visited a chiropractor for adjustments and an Orthopedic surgeon, who did two steroid injections. Both treatments resulted in minimal relief that only lasted for a short time. I believe they are treating the symptoms rather than finding the cause of the problem and fixing that. While traveling, I was experiencing quite a bit of pain and found a Thai massage therapist close by and tried it out. I found that I had some relief which gave me hope that I could continue with that. Upon returning home, I scoured the internet for a Thai massage therapist. I luckily found Daniel’s website. It looked much more specific to pain relief than a traditional massage place, which was exactly what I wanted. Working with Daniel has been amazing. He was able to determine the origin of my pain just from our initial conversation. He tailored the massage specifically to my needs. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and most importantly, he has delivered results that I am thrilled with. I felt 75-80% better after my initial session and it keeps improving every time. He checks in before each session and makes any changes to the treatment based on what I am feeling-he truly listens. I would highly recommend that anyone experiencing unresolved back pain see Daniel. The treatments can be intense, but the results are well worth it!

Daniel is World Class in this area. I went in with back issues and his knowledge and instruction was spot on! This is therapy and rehabilitation, not a normal massage. And my back has never been better! No surgery necessary. I even had tennis elbow once and when I told him, he had me lay down and got rid of it in an instant. Not after weeks, while wearing some device you buy at CVS etc. Same day relief! He’s worth every penny!
