I went to Amber and I must say, she was really professional and thorough. She focused on my tight areas and worked out all of my knots. The experience was so relaxing. I honestly didnt want to leave. I recommend this place and I also recommend that you ask for Amber. I plan to continue to receive massage therapy there on monthly basis. The atmosphere is great. I left as a very happy and satisfied client.

I am very satisfied with the empathy and kindness shown by Christine. Her skill is at a level that demonstrates a passion to help her clients find relief. I will sleep much better tonight and have a better week for having attended to my physical concerns. I will be booking again.

Wow. Just wow. Amber Trevino is, hands down, the best money Ive ever spent on my body. She is getting into old kinks and tweaks that I didnt even realize were there and explaining how everything connects every step of the way. I love this approach, but be aware, this is not a typical relaxation massage. If you are in tune with your body, ready to invest in deep tissue work and geek out on how trigger points connect to other muscles/areas in distress, this is your place! Prices are worth every penny ($119/60 minutes) and include tip, which I really appreciate.

Get Amber! Shes awesome. Listen to her suggestions too. Very knowledgeable and experienced in tension and muscle release. Love this girl

Colleen was very attentive to my needs. She took time to read my intake form and gather feedback regarding what is effecting my body. I appreciate her organized process and attention to detail. I feel she went above and beyond my expectations and was a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with her well into the future.

I want to give a huge thank you to Amber! She did an amazing job on me. She is very professional and knows what she is doing. She is also extremely nice and makes you feel really comfortable and relaxed. I like that she tells you some things you can work on to avoid having any mores knots in the future and how to build muscle on areas that need work. I highly recommend her!Thank you soooooo much Amber!I will be coming back!

I wanted to get a massage while I was visiting Manhattan Beach. I run about 30 miles a week and my sister recommended Christine who has a great reputation for sports massage. It was a fantastic experience and she exceeded my expectations. It’s a soothing and zen office which is a nice balance when some of the massage can be painful. Great experience!!

I have been a massage therapist for nearly two decades so when I say Im really picky about my massages, believe that it comes from a LOT of experience. I also teach in massage schools so I am highly critical of the smallest details. Ive been seeing Christine at Orthopedic Sports Massage for several months now and was a little trepidatious when she told me she was bringing someone to work with her. I trust Christine though so I booked a session with Amber.Id been having a nagging problem in my right hip for about a month and a half when I went in. Amber not only zeroed in on the issue, she helped me figure out what the source of it could be. After only an hour with her, I walked out in NO PAIN!Since we were working on my hip, we did several different positions on the table and her draping was impeccable. Since I teach massage, I am always on the lookout for little stuff like that. Even during hip stretches, in side-lying position, and doing range of motion, I felt totally secure and covered.I am thrilled that I now have TWO massage therapists in Los Angeles that I can trust!

I felt so relaxed & amazing after my massage with Christine! She has such a great touch & presence & is so passionate & knowledgeable about her work! She really listened to me and my body with just the right amount of pressure. She used Active Release Technique on one particular spot and it felt really good afterwards. I highly recommend Christine for massage! I would love to receive her massages every day! Thank you so much Christine!

I have never had a massage therapist take time to really listen to me beforehand. You could tell she cared. It was a great experience. Christine has strong arms, the medical knowledge and right touch for this. Also you dont need to be lying down on your stomach if you dont want to. You can lie in any position thats felt more comfortable for you. Plus the massage table has holes that come out for your breasts so you can lie comfortably if you have a large chest like me. Wow! It was a one hour massage but she also hit the spots on the front specially the psoas muscles and pecs. She even loosened the muscles in the front of my neck that I had no idea were even there, let alone so tight. I had no idea how much tension I was holding there – My head has never felt so light ever since. Shes awesome! Thank you Christine!

I’m a grad student and I sit for long periods of time (especially driving the freeways in Los Angeles) so I have tons of tension and knots and decided to get a sports massage.. I told Christine this and she listened carefully and had me do some range of movement tests to make sure she totally understood what was going on. Then she went to work. She used this awesome heat thing first and then was really specific in getting to my exact problem spots using trigger point massage. She had me get up halfway through to check that we were making progress and I was so happy that she was determined to get everything. Worth every penny and definitely will be getting a repeat experience.

Well, Ive found a new masseuse! I wasnt even looking for one, but a friend wrote a yelp review on Christine so I thought Id try her. Shes experienced and understand how muscles/ joints work, the minute she worked on my back i knew i can trust her to fix my muscle pain issues. She applied the perfect amount of pressure. Needless to say, after our first session i was hooked, and will recommend her all my friends and family!

In the recent months I have been experiencing neck and shoulder pain regularly. I currently solve this by a daily stretching regimen but lately that has not given me relief. I am a Camera operator in the motion picture and film industry so I am lifting pulling etc on a regular basis. It was recommended by a friend to visit someone that specializes in sports medicine.I then found LA Orthopedic Sports MassageChristine was amazing. She not only worked out a few problem areas on the spot but she also gave me a few stretches to try at home. The have helped already. I think her approach to not only massage but to educate is exactly what I was looking for. She takes the time to explain your condition and gives you the tools for a faster recovery. Thank you Christine I will defiantly be back soon.

I had back surgery less than a year ago and Sage was able to release all of the tension and scar tissue I have been left with. I have an extremely tense back and her care to my condition and her precise attention to where I was in pain was truly top notch. Ive had hundreds of massages in my life but Sage the time to make sure she cared for the exact spots that needed attention. I would recommend her with 100% confidence. She is amazing and I cant wait to go back!

What an amazing sports and injury massage. In spite of its greater Los Angeles location, I drove from Orange County after a friend insisted I try this chiropractic office.As a result of my treatment and massage I now have greater mobility and feel substantially less pain.Christine is such an amazing professional, she was even out at the Olympics providing services to our country’s athletes.If you are in need of the best chiropractor or best massage, then look no further and head to LA Orthopedic Sports Massage.

After my massage with Christine, I feel so relaxed and relieved. I can truly say that these guys did a great job and I would like to Thank Christine for a job well done. Thumbs up! Seriously... thumbs up!!!

Christine is a truly phenomenal human being and gifted healer. She has many years of experience, and it shows. She was able to pinpoint my pain immediately, and made me realize that you dont have to undergo painful massage and trigger therapy to have relief. She is extremely gentle, but effective. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and wants to help them. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you have bad pain or pain you dont want to get worse, please go and see her, you will be very glad you did! Wonderful experience!

Christine is extremely warm and kind. I received the hour long sports massage from her where she took the time to find and alleviate my pain. She is knowledgeable, patient and determined to heal any and all trouble spots. I was definitely in good hands and am happy to have found a professional who I feel confident in visiting next time my back decides to cause trouble.

Amber is the best! I had such an annoying pain in my lower and upper back. After she was done with me my back felt so relaxed. She was gentle with the massage so I didnt feel extremely sore afterwards. Most importantly she focused on where I mentioned was my pain and she made sure to get rid of it. Thanks amber!

I loved my massage with Travis! Highly recommend for anyone in the area👍🏻

Probably the best sports massage Ive received. My recent gym workout was centered around squats so I was sore and walking gingerly. Christine worked out the knots and pain points. She also gave me exercises to activate my glutes so my hamstrings were not over worked the next time I squat. Its in a nice, comfortable office with easy parking and access in downtown El Segundo. Highly recommended.

I needed a good massage for My back and shoulders I am a swimmer and golfer so I decided to try a new sports medicine place in town Christine Sage provided an amazing massage and very detailed work on my poor muscles. My muscles are relaxed and loose now. I would highly reccomend booking an appointment with Christine.

I made an appointment to see Christine based on a friends recommendation, and I cant even begin to explain how happy I am that I did!Ive dealt with chronic pain in my neck, chest and shoulder for a few months now, and have tried many different therapies to remedy the issues, such as acupuncture, cupping, graston method, deep tissue massage etc. you name it!Unlike all the other treatments I tried, Christine really tailored her treatment to my exact needs, and I felt relief after only 1 session. I already have my next massage booked and highly recommend you make an appointment as well. She is FANTASTIC!

Wow!!! Christine loves what she does and is very knowledgeable. I went in for a sports massage and came out feeling like i gained more mobility. You must fill out a questioner that leads to a very informative conversation. I mentioned to her past injuries and small injuries that I had and also described my pain and she knew exactly what to do. After she finished I gained mobility on my right leg a stretch that I normally struggle with was almost instant. Thank you very much Christine you have no idea how much better I feel! Do yourself a favor and come check her out she will help you bring your body back to life.

I was fortunate to go to this office and, in particular, Christine Sage Johnson, who was my masseuse. I am very active, always tight and usually sore, lol. I have had all kinds of massages pretty much all over the country and never have I had such a rewarding massage experience. Christine was incredibly knowledge, sought to understand my particular needs and to find ways to work those issues out. I left the massage floating on air for what a good experience it was and recommended her to 3 other people before I had even made it home. I cannot recommend Christine more highly, especially for those that are active in sports.

Travis is an amazing massage therapist and I highly recommend him! Especially if you care about your body and wellbeing and want to learn some new ideas of how to fix your dysfunctions and ailments (yes everybody has these!). I went in with neck pain and knee pain and Travis impressed me from the start with how he asked about it. He was different than the “typical” massage therapist who looks at the paper forms you fill out and then just goes from top to bottom of your body, through their typical routine. Everyone’s bodies and injuries are different so I appreciated this customized and thoughtful approach!Travis asked me at the beginning “what have you tried already and what seemed to work the best?” so he could make the best use of our time and build off of the techniques that seemed to help me the most. In this case it was ART and moving through the range of motion while he released my trigger points.The other thing I enjoyed about my time with him was the self-care advice he was able to give. He gave me insight into some new things I can try on my own - including mobility work with lacrosse balls and using epsom salt to increase hydration of my fascia.I enjoyed my time with Travis and am eager to book my next session! Thank you, Travis!!

I am just now recovering from the best massage hangover, and feel compelled to write this review. The South Bay needs to know about this gem.Its so hard to know what youre going to get when you book a massage. Some places have a great ambiance and a terrible massage experience, and some have the opposite. But this place hits it on all fronts.First of all, the room is really comfortable. I cannot stand a cold massage place, but the temp inside the room was perfect. The massage table she uses is amazing. The place where you put your head is adjustable, to make it the best positioning for each person. But whats more is that it has optional belly/breast cutouts for pregnant or lactating women! Omg where was this place when I was pregnant? I want every expecting mother on Yelp to experience this and then report back to me, because that would be just the best thing ever.Christine was wonderful. She is so welcoming and has the warmest energy. My massage was the perfect blend of a sports massage with pure relaxation. She spent a lot of time really working out problem areas and trigger points, which my body needed badly, and then she spent time at the end on my scalp and upper neck, which was icing on the cake for stress reduction and relaxation.It was a great overall experience, and one I would definitely recommend!

I was so happy with the result of my injury and Christine did a great job. She helped relieve my pain. She is friendly and listens to what you need and did the right amount of pressure. Would definitely recommend.

I got a sport massage yesterday with Sage. Im 42 and have been playing competitive beach Volleyball at a rated level for about 8 years. I really beat my body up competing with kids half my age or worse.But I know that Sage does sports massage for the AVP, the Olympic team, and has worked with pro sports teams. I suppose if our gold medal athletes work with her, Ill be OK. So I booked a massage.My right shoulder has taken the brunt of the abuse being a tall hitter, and I have a knot in that shoulder I constantly wrestle with.. its been years. Ive wanted to just stab it with a knife sometimes.She was able to take years of abuse down down dramatically and release that shoulder FINALLY. I instantly have more mobility, my head turns further than it has in a while (I can look right now!), and I can already feel my neck and back strain has diminished from her working on that shoulder.If you want Olympic level sports massage with a local provider whos up to date on the latest sports science and techniques, Id definitely check out Sage.

I can not say enough great things about Christine.I had been suffering from terrible sciatica pain since getting pregnant 30 months ago and thought relief was nowhere in sight. I had been to physical therapy all through pregnancy with no substantial relief. I went to Christine about a week ago, and she told me she could hopefully get rid of my problem with one session. I was soooo skeptical, but she delivered. Since our 1st session I have had almost NO pain whatsoever!! She is super knowledgeable on the specifics of your pain and what muscle groups need to be worked on. She could just press on a spot and tell me if it hurt and she was correct every time. She worked her magic and by the end I felt like a new person!The sciatica issue took the whole hour, but I plan on going back for my neck issues (3mm slipped disk and super tight muscles throughout my neck, shoulder and upper back)Go to Christine, you will be happy you did!

Visited Christine at LA Orthopedic Sports Massage for a Stretch 40 Minutes session (felt longer!). I previously did heavy lifting using only my right shoulder.First impression of the office: quiet, clean, nicely decorated. Even had a mini zen garden with sand and a rake to play with, which I thought was neat (ASMR enthusiast here). Music was playing through a portable Sonos speaker, pleasant for the setting.Christine quickly greeted and presented us with paperwork on clipboards (as it was our first time visiting). I was second so I was able to use the restroom prior to my turn, which was clean and roomy. Also of note: it had a shower.So once it was my turn, Christine went through all my notes and asked questions pertaining to my statements. She actually spoke on my areas of concern (my shoulders and right side of my back), and was very informative of what would take place. I was impressed by her muscle knowledge and massage techniques in order to induce blood flow and straighten out my tensed muscles. She gave me tips on how to improve the condition of my shoulders and muscles myself, which I will definitely use.Best part was it wasnt awkward as she did maintain a professional but personable conversation throughout. I tend to ask a lot of questions so that I can learn as well, and she answered with great ease and attention. She knows her stuff and helped us greatly.Also of note: she does NOT take tips! $$

Best massage I have received. I have never met a massage therapist with the level of education that Christine has. Her passion for her work shows in her results. You get exactly what you pay for here

Christine Sage for all your massage needs. No question. Tell her where it hurts and she gets to work.A little bit of a back story on me. I was in a car accident a year or so ago that left me with some back pain. After chiro treatment and 2 separate surgical injection procedures my back felt better than how it was after the accident, but throughout the year I would have pain come and go. An issue that I dont think will ever fully be fixed.When you first walk into LA wellness you enter into comfort.Nice decor, soothing music,comfy couches. Since it was my first visit I had to fill out some paperwork. Quick and simple. Christine is very friendly and had a nice smile on her face making the experience even more comforting.Once in the room and a few questions to find out your problem areas you get to see how knowledgeable Christine really is and how she explains without getting to technical what she will be doing or how shell work on certain areas of the body.Having worked for the Olympics and on Olympic athletes brought another level of comfort to my experience as I knew I was in good hands (literally). After I let her know where the pain was she went right to work. Ive had massages before,deep tissue etc. chiro treatments and never have I ever gotten the treatment like I had with Christine. She worked areas that had never been worked before and I immediately felt the difference. Ill definitely be booking future appointments as I am now a true fan of her work as I can actually feel a big difference in my back after my massage session.

I just had one of the best massages of my life by Christine Johnson! I have both back and neck complications so she applied some of her medical massage technique. It was incredible! She was able to release tension from places that have caused me headaches and low back aches. I hear she works on professional athletes as well as those who simply enjoy sports, but even if you simply have a chronic injury like me, she is wonderful! Her compassion made those deeper moments easy to breath through. If youve ever had to rehab, you know what Im talking about.

I worked with Christine and she was amazing. I was having some back pain and tight hip flexors and she helped me release it on the first session. She also wasnt to tough where I was sore the next day from her rubbing out the knots. She is professional and very knowledgeable. I highly suggest seeing her!!

Christine Sage was so helpful, caring and an amazing listener to all my injuries. It’s difficult to find people who care in this world, so glad I found someone who genuinely wants to make me feel better.

I highly recommend Christine for therapeutic body work. I found her confident, knowledgable and she has a great touch. I went in with a sore neck and tight lower back, she used several techniques to help my muscles relax and recover. Today I woke up without pain in my neck. My lower back will take more time and is a little sore today, which she told me to expect due to restricted blood flow in the area. I look forward to my next session with her!

Ever walked out of a massage irritated because they didn’t address your problem areas even though you asked them too? Not with Christine! She made sure she knew exactly which area I wanted most, then my 2nd choice and 3rd. And then that’s exactly what she did. That may not seem like a big deal, but it was really refreshing since most therapists I’ve been too have never done that. I walked out feeling a million times better with my problem areas – solved!

I took my boyfriend this last week for his Birthday. He felt relieved and in way better condition when we left. He struggles with constant back and neck pain due to stress from a bad car accident. Very happy with the results!

You get quality massage when the person is passionate about their craft. Christine has the knowledge and skill set worth making the trip from OC!

I’m usually deterred from going to a ‘sports massage’ location as although I’m active (volleyball, TRX, boxing, yoga, run), I don’t think of myself as an ‘athlete’ because it’s all recreational. I tend to stick to Swedish and Deep Tissue massages when feeling tight. However, after having some ongoing issues with a calf muscle I decided to give it a try. Christine Sage used an active release technique and really focused on the area, along with some other sore spots I had highlighted. Her knowledge and passion for sport massage really shows through. She listened to what I had to say and applied her skills. I learned so much about my body and the ways all the ligaments are connected. It felt like a great value to not only have areas worked on that needed dedicated attention, but to learn how to prevent future injuries. So far so good! I’ll definitely be returning.

Christine Johnson gave me the best sports massage I needed for tennis competitions. Thx!

Come here for all your therapeutic needs.

Here again to receive true loving care and healing from Christine Sage.. I highly recommend her services for anyone with chronic issues that havent been resolved through other methods

Professional treatment in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

She’s a pro! Love her work!

Better than physical therapy

Awesome!
