Jacobs Structural Therapy

I have been seeing Sam for years. He has a knowledge of the body that can only be compared to a practicing physician. He has helped me though a few major injuries, and I trust no one to work on me like I do Sam. He is an inspirational person, who can help get you back on your feet, and motivate you to strive for more in other areas of your life. Sam has studied under some of the most masterful body workers in the country, and is a downright steal for the rates he charges. I’ve had massages for twice his rate that were the equivalent of having lotion rubbed on my back. I know every session with Sam is both masterful and purposeful. Whenever I am confused about what he’s doing, he offers a competent and detailed explanation of how and why he is working any given area of my body, or what the overall goal of the session will be. I have no doubt that Sam will continue to develop his talents and that he will (rightfully so) become much more expensive. If I were you, I would take advantage of his services ASAP!

I started seeing Sam because I had severe lower back pain where I couldn’t run more than half a mile without having to stop. After several sessions I can now run 3 miles with no back pain what so ever. Thank you Sam!

I had never been a believer in chiropractors/​PT, that it really made a difference. I can say with assurance now that I had just never met the right one. Sam truly cared about me as a client and friend and does amazing work. Absolutely recommend!

Highly recommend seeing Sam for any joint/​muscle pain or for improving functional movement overall. My ankle and hip issues have improved significantly thanks to Sam.

Sam Jacobs is a miracle worker! I have had persistent shoulder pain due to a shoulder injury I sustained 12 years ago. I had constant grinding and pain that 3 different doctors told me would require surgery to alleviate. After one session with Sam the grinding was all but gone along with the pain and it has remained that way in the many weeks that have followed. Sam truly is a healer by nature and a joy to talk with while he works on you.

I have never written a Unilocal review but I really had to write one for Sam. Sam really knows what he’s doing and he explains everything to you step by step as he’s doing it. I asked him a million questions about my body/​muscles/​aches and he was so patient and answered all of them in thorough detail. He made me feel super comfortable, even when he was destroying the knots in my body! After my session, I felt like someone had put me in a blender and then put me back together in much better shape!

I’ve had my fair range of experiences from chiropractors, massages, and even physical therapy — but nothing was quite like this! 2 thumbs WAY up!
They started with some really engaging questions that brought insight into my body and how this therapy would impact me at much deeper level then most. They also did a really great job of making me feel comfortable and relaxed before we even got started, preparing me for what was to come.
After my session was over, I felt completely different then when I came in. The pain I knew had subsided, and there was such a calmness that over came my body and mind. Highly recommend this therapy! Knowledge and practice like I’ve never experienced!

I’ve had many massages/​PT/​what have you over the course of my injury-​ridden life, but I’ve never felt so much better, for so long after the fact until my first session with Sam. The care and knowledge at JST was simply amazing. I had never done rolfing but thanks so Sam I’m a full Rolf convert now!
I asked Sam a lot of questions throughout the session so as to understand what was happening and how to better take care of my body. It was super informative and helpful and he was able to explain things so well, answered my questions, and he even laughed at my dumb jokes!
I can’t say enough good things about my therapy there. Sam’s the best.

I went into the office today and had never been to Santa Monica after living in Long Beach for over 20 years (yeah, I know…) Santa Monica is so beautiful! I thought about moving to Newport Beach but that might take a backseat now.
Anywho, I got some work done today and I feel amazing. I’ve gone through chiropractors and masseuses before but Mr. Jacobs really focuses on what your body NEEDS. It’s a methodical and very intelligent approach. I suggested that he work on athletes.
I’ve already booked my next 10 sessions and will be back every week for the next 10 weeks. I’m currently 5’8″ with sneakers on and he said this can actually help me get an inch or two in height! I’ll let you know how that goes!

I am no stranger to various forms of P.T. As a Flight Attendant for 45 yrs., I have had many injuries, including a recent hand surgery. After complaining for many months that my whole body hurt-​not just my hand-​I tried Sam. I had very low expectations. In fact, I just wanted to get back on a plane to Thailand, Dubai, or Manila, where I could get back to «the best». Imagine my surprise, after one session with Sam-​He is THE BEST! All my world wide experience rendered insignificant by a young man in my neighborhood. Try him once, & you will be a believer!

I recently had surgery on a fractured 5^th metacarpal bone in my right hand, and once I had my cast removed I immediately realized that the only way I could fully recover from this injury was to undergo physical therapy. After visiting Sam’s Therapy a couple times a week for about two months I had full range of motion in my hand again. His combination of knowledge and technique mixed with compassion and confidence had me back in the gym in no time. I highly recommend Sam’s Therapy!

I have been sleeping on a couch for over 6 months so you can imagine what kind of shape my back is in. Even after one session with Sam I could feel a noticeable difference. Not only has he helped ease my pain but he is also extremely knowledgeable and does a fantastic job of explaining the reasoning behind each exercise he does. Already my back feels more loose and my posture has improved. Will definitely be back for a second session.

As a person who works in an office and sits at a desk 40+ hours a week, it’s safe to say posture and pain correlate with one another in the neck and shoulders. After visiting Sam’s Therapy multiple times a week, I now have lost the pain in my neck and shoulders. His knowledge of the right techniques and therapy to alleviate the pain has helped tremendously and helped give me better posture. Great experience every time!

I have been going to Sam for about 4 months now and the results have been great! He has helped me improve my posture and free up a lot of the pain I was experiencing in my back and shoulders. He has also helped my develop a rehab program my my surgically repaired knee. Very friendly and skilled, I highly recommend.
