Testimonials
Raul has been my massage therapist for about 2 years now. As a competitive age-group triathlete, being able to train consistently is essential to success and my weekly massages with Raul have definitely helped keep me injury free and able to put in the hours of training every week. Not only is Raul extremely friendly, personable and easy to talk to, but he is very knowledgeable and has a “feel” for massage and for what your body needs that not every massage therapist has. Before Raul, I often left my massages feeling that the therapist had just gone through the motions, as if the massage was not specific to me, but rather just a set of massage techniques put together in a set order. This definitely not the case with Raul! Every massage is different, depending on what my body needs on that day. If he finds an issue, he works on it and doesn’t move on until it’s either resolved or worked out as much as possible for that session. I’ve had a few aches and pains over the past year that I’m sure would have become full-blown injuries if it were not for Raul’s expertise and relentless commitment to helping his clients maintain athletic, healthy, injury-free bodies.

I have been getting regular sport massage for about 5 years, and have had a number of different therapists over that time. Sure, I can tell about Raul’s many years of massage experience and his excellent knowledge of a anatomy and body function (I’m a physician, so I know Raul knows the human body). But what sets Raul apart from other therapists is his innate ability to be able to find trouble areas and then to apply just the right amount of pressure with the correct strokes to release and soften those knots. Of course he listens to what you want him to concentrate on during the session, but even if nothing is said, he finds those spots, and gives them the attention that they need. Raul has a great touch with enough strength to do the deep tissue work that I like, but he also has the finesse that I trust. I truly believe that Raul’s body work has been instrumental in my training and recovery and has allowed me to have no significant injuries during my Ironman training.

I can unequivocally say that I love Raul. He is absolutely one of the best therapists I’ve seen. He has a professional and appropriate demeanor and is thorough and effective. I have not always felt comfortable with male massage therapists, but I have felt completely safe with Raul.
I don’t know the names of all of the various techniques but he has used active release massage as well as some rolfing type stuff – I have serious IT band issues and he’s given me tons of lasting relief.
He listens to client input with regard to pressure etc. and interprets well for a comfortable and effective level of pressure.

I have been working with Raul for several seasons and he has become an important part of my training, racing and recovery. Whenever I have a problem I can count on him to accurately identify the issue and resolve it, often in one session. Seeing him regularly helps keep me injury-free and aids in my recovery process.

I’ve been running with LA Leggers for years. I’ve had a persistent problem with my IT Band. I’ve usually ended up in physical therapy. Then I discovered sports massage. I didn’t know what it was and had never done it before. I was set up with Raul and he is the best. He dug until it hurt but he freed up my IT Band and I was back running without missing a beat. Raul is very personable and very discrete. But most of all he’s very good.
I highly recommend Raul!

I had a wonderful experience with Raul. He was really strong and made me feel a lot better. He continuously asked me how i was feeling and we also discussed what i could do differently to prevent such stiffness. Raul was great!

I went to see Raul with a six year old back injury. PT, medications, etc gave some relief but after two massage sessions I am pain free and able to resume strenuous physical training.
The Best Sports Massage!
