E Z Shiatsu Massage — Local services in Los Angeles

Massages are my jam. They keep me going, and make me a more pleasant person to deal with. Plus, they are just awesome. A good massage will keep me on a high for days, and a bad one will anger me at the wasted opportunity.

Tom gives a great massage. This business is a mom-and-pop shiatsu stop in the heart of little tokyo, on the second floor of Honda Plaza. Tom has been doing massages for decades now, and is so skillful at knowing what the human body needs. He has clients who have been seeing him for as long as he has been doing massages, a testament to his skill. His shop is no-frills, good, massage. You change into comfortable cotton clothes behind a screen and then he goes to work! Gentle and hard pin-pointed pressure. He asks at the beginning of each session what hurts, any complaints, etc. and works through each one. He never gyps you on your full hour (1 hr for $60), which starts after you lie down, not when you get into his shop. He isn't scared to use hard pressure (standing on your back, etc., as necessary), but doesn't do so gratuitously. He will also be very honest with you, telling you whether you need to see a doctor for a problem he can't work out for you, or need to come back next week to finish, or not until another month for maintenance. He also is scarily accurate with when the pain will come (from releasing all those built up toxins) and when it will subside. He knows his stuff.

He also does house calls for the same price. (OH WHAT! Yes. In house massage for $60 an hour). Not to mention he is the gentlest, sweetest guy ever!

Come here and you...

Wonderful! Well worth it. He is skilled, strong, gentle, and gets the job done. He clearly has healing hands. I've gone to him through the years since my C-section messed with my hips. Recently, he helped with a dislocated shoulder and also gave me advice on how to work on it at home. This is a place to have in your back pocket for any issue. I firmly recommend this place. And parking is free for 1 hour. Can't beat that in...

Truly excellent!!!! Highly recommend!! Mr. Tom is so kind and clearly very skilled. If I lived in LA, I would be a regular here. It's on the second floor so I got a little lost but they were kind enough to come find me. Same style of massages my husband and I went to in Japan but I found more relief at this one. FYI it's not supposed to be a fancy spa type of atmosphere, and you keep all of your clothes...
