Larraenza Medical

I have fibromyalgia so I know about how good a massage can make one feel. I have had many of them and I must say that I have never had a bad massage. Some were good and some were so so, but never bad.
That said, getting a massage from Liz Larraenza is a whole other experience. I have NEVER had a massage so amazing with such new techniques that Liz so skillfully gets to my particular problems.
Liz doesn’t just give massages. She designs each one to personally address YOUR problems. I have had many massages and no one has had me see results as quickly as Liz’s techniques bring about.
She seems to find (and to verbally explain to you) the places where the pain originates, like no other masseuse I have ever had. She also uses techniques that I have never experienced, that have proven great results with my energy and lower level of pain.
Personally I have a high tolerance for pain, and want to have deep massages every time I come for a treatment with Liz. But draw no conclusions from that. Liz has a soft side of how she can and will work on you as gently as you like, if that is your preference.
And personally, although Liz has this gentle side that reminds me of an old and wise Buddha. Her knowledge of the human body and what is important in living a stress free life, goes far beyond her chronological years.
Liz is the last masseuse I ever plan going to. She is amazing as a person and near miraculous as a healer.

$ 35 for a 45-​minute massage
This place is located in a very busy area among blocks of busy restaurants. Area parking can be a little challenging. Fortunately, there is a parking lot in front shared with Lucha Libre and Yoshinos. The minute you walk in and the the door closes behind you, all the sounds of the city (trains, planes, cars, boats, trolleys) vanish. It’s a warm and comforting environment created by the sounds, colors, furnishings and service. It really doesn’t feel like a spa.
Liz, the massage therapist, is exactly what I need in a massage therapist. After my consultation, I felt someone actually heard me. She asked alot of questions, collecting clues, taking notes. Then she went quiet and intently went to work on my issues. She used a moist heat pack and electrical patch device on me along with the massage. She apparently has a few tools at her disposal. I was advised as to what I should feel and should not feel so I could give her appropriate feedback when necessary. When she found a spot that needed work, the treatment sometimes was painful and t hen there would be a soft «pop» or release sensation and then the pain would quickly begin decreasing. This is an active massage that is a highly effective treatment.
I’ve referred friends and a family to her and we all have different issues such as pain issues, marathon conditioning, digestion issues, headaches, fibromyalgia and stiffness and we all receive very different treatments. This is not a choreographed massage. There are alot of those lovely spas and they certainly have their place. This is not one of those places. Liz seems very quiet and tentative initially yet once the actual treatment begins that tentativeness disappears.
4 or 5 stars. It works. It’s the most effective massages I’ve experienced. $ 35 makes it accessible and helps patients maintain regular treatments if necessary. 5 stars. The expectation people have of these types of places may not be met because it isn’t plush w/​matching, barely used linens, etc. Liz is reasonably priced and if you understand what she’s offering, she’d most likely exceed your expectation. Her treatments sometimes require some of your deliberate participation in your healing.
