Olympic Sports Massage. Holistic Health Los Angeles — Attraction in Los Angeles

One of the greatest benefits of working with a professional massage therapist, especially as an athlete, is gaining another level of awareness of how your body objectively functions vs how it subjectively feels. Because we're inside our bodies all of the time, we get used to the feeling or adapt to pain / misalignment to the degree that it becomes normal even though the body is out of balance, and not functioning at the highest capacity. A massage therapist provides an external perspective to help identify the areas of malfunction and leads the athlete to safely recover to optimal function.

Misha's experience combined with his refined technique quickly identified areas of my body that were under heavy tension and this stress would undermine my efforts for strength and muscle development.

In just 1 session, he accelerated the healing of a minor injury I had in my obliques using cupping technique, and worked wonders on relieving the tension around my neck/ shoulders/ chest.

The following day I generally felt more mobility in my joints and ease of movement throughout my body. Everything just felt more articulate, and less tense.

I'm very grateful for body workers especially as an athlete because I'm constantly breaking down my body and therapists are there to help rebuild.

I highly recommend Misha to any athlete, amateur or professional. Even if you're not an athlete, it will be one of the best therapeutic sessions you can experience.

I will definitely schedule with Misha regularly despite...

I have been going to Misha for several months now, after a long stretch of being unable to find a reliable masseuse who could give me the treatments my body needs.

As a professional open water swimmer I find that most massages are too light on touch, even when I ask for more pressure. The great thing about Misha is that he understands athletes and has studied his craft-the massages he gives are the best. He is thorough, applying strong pressure in the right areas and working out any kinks, tight spots and knots.

I definitely feel like I'm getting an athlete's massage with him, one that has benefits for me days later and which translate to better open water performance when I race and train. I will be going to him...

If I could give Misha a 100-star review, he is incredibly talented and knowledgeable. Getting a sports massage from him is simply wow—it's a complete experience that you don't want to miss! I had issues with my shoulders, but thanks to him, my pain vanished, allowing me to return to the activities I love. Misha is not only skilled but also excellent with interaction. He ensures to ask about any pain or pain history, demonstrating his thorough understanding of his craft. Simply put, he knows his stuff! He is my number one choice for a sports massage therapist, and if you're in need, I highly recommend seeing him,...
