Seth Gentry, LMT

After suffering for several days with a terrible knot in my back AND after unsuccessfully receiving relief from a chiropractic visit, a Thai massage and hot baths Seth really worked a combination of muscle groups to ease my pain. It is evident that Seth has many years’ experience in body work and he is very professional and well in tune with working to release tension in the body. I am permanently switching to Seth as he is very effective in determining your issues and works in a variety of massage styles. I couldn’t be more appreciative of his talents as a massage therapist.

STRUCK GOLD! Finally, I found a masseuse that «gets it»!! I’ve been in a lot of hip and lower back pain for over a year and was getting so frustrated with pansy, superficial massages. Seth is intuitive and knows his stuff! I finally feel like now there’s hope for me to be able to get back into doing the things I love and enjoy! (Dancing, hiking etc) Thank you, Seth! Don’t ever leave us! LOL :)

I had massages from Seth at a location where he used to work. The place went out of business and I didn’t know where he went. I googled him and found him and am I ever glad. He does an amazing job. I feel he really knows the physiology of how everything works and is connected! The other best thing ever, is he got my jaws back in order (TMJ problems) and I’ve never had anyone know how to do that! He is awesome! You will not be sorry.

Seth simply put is AMAZING! I’m «that» person who uses Unilocal,but doesn’t write reviews but decided Seth warranted breaking against my norm. I used to go to Seth at 220 Wellness, and was delighted to find him again a year later. I’ve dealt with back issues for 2 years now, and don’t let just anybody touch my back! Seth is by far the best masseur I’ve seen in Los Angeles (and trust me, I’ve had a lot!). His understanding of the human anatomy makes his therapeutic massages very effective & his massages help bring about significant amount of relief.
Seth genuinely cares about his clients and shows different stretches at the end of sessions to help prevent any knots or issues that he identified during the session. I definitely plan to use Seth regularly moving forward. My only regret is that it took me so long to find him again!

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Seth is awesome, firm and precise. Get your massage with him or you’re missing out.

Went to Seth while training for a half marathon and suffering from lower back pain, IT issues and piraformis syndrome. His deep tissue work brought me much needed relief. Will be on call going forward! Friendly, knowledgeable and easy to schedule.

Seth was AmAzing! Very knowledgeable and professional. Our first session went so well, I’ve all ready booked 4 more sessions with him to help fix my sciatica and lower back.

«With the knowing hands of Helen Keller, Seth will find every knot in your being and work them out like an Exorcist. Let me forewarn you, if you do decide to visit Seth, it will be like hitting blue meth for the first time. You will be hooked, but in this case you simply be booking your next visit and not chasing your next high.»
I thought I had lost touch with Seth because 220 Wellness «healing» studio died and I could not find the obituary listing Seth’s contact information. Thankfully he reached out to me letting me know his direct contact information and I just got back from another great massage !! I will be a regular for sure.
He has a new website, you can reach him here:

Seth is the best!!! He is a superb massage therapist and also a great all around guy. He will listen to your concerns and address them above and beyond your expectations. I’ve seen him for over 3 years and couldn’t be happier. I’m pretty hard on my body but he’s always able to keep me going. His knowledge is extensive and no matter what new problems I give him he always has a technique to fix it. I give him my highest recommendation!

I have had a LOT of massages, and I’m pretty particular… Seth is, hands down (pardon the pun), the best I’ve had. I’m incredibly active – I surf, box, spin, run, lift, hike – pretty much everything that could possibly get my body tight and my muscles tense! I’m also an actor, so it’s important to me to feel connected to my body and able to be fully expressive.
Seth has an incredibly precise and intuitive understanding of the body. He pinpoints my latest aches and knots as well as the ones that have been there for years, and he knows how to work on them all. He is insanely gifted at what he does and wonderfully communicative. He makes sure I understand what he’s doing so that, between sessions, I can try and keep up with keeping my body free and relaxed.
I want everyone to experience him… but only if he still has time for me!

Seth is an amazingly talented and intuitive massage therapist. He is able to hone in on things you didn’t even know where bothering you and make them all better. I’ve had my fair share of massages but none of them compare to the work Seth does. Now that the secret is out of the bag, I hope he still has time for me in his schedule!

I have had massages all over the world, for years and years. I have had bad ones, good ones, and incredible ones.
Seth is one of the incredible ones. He is legitimately gifted, very anatomically minded, and worth every penny. The intuition and ability to really feel exactly what is going on with your body is what sets him apart. I’ve sent friends to him, and their response is always the same: «…Wow.»
If what you are looking for is body work that is both relaxing and effective, look no further. He knows what is up with your alignment, tissues, tensions, scarring, adhesions, and the myriad other things that can send you to his table, and he knows just what to do about them.

I met Seth about 9 years ago in Santa Barbara and he was the very first person to introduce me to the magical wonders of massage therapy.
With my first full-​body massage, Seth showed me how powerful a mind-​body connection can be when it comes to healing physically and having more energy throughout the day. It changed my life! Due to moving quite a bit the past few years, I’ve had to work with other massage therapists, but no one has been quite as good as Seth. He truly listens to what you and your body need, so each massage is unique and suited specifically to you.
He has a deep knowledge and understanding of the human body, psyche and massage therapy and he is more than willing to answer any questions you may have. His energy and enthusiasm for health and well-​being is contagious and refreshing!
If you’re looking for an amazing massage that could change your life as it did mine, give Seth a call right now!

When I first met Seth I knew right away he was going to be great. He scans your body in a way and was spot on with issues I already had going on and he was just using his eyes! I told him about a sudden nag I was having and within just a few visits it was gone. He’s not pushy and doesn’t try to sell you packages. He recommended I come in weekly to get the issue worked out and then once every two weeks for maintenance. He’s really attentive too and listens. I’ve had massage therapists in the past that are like robots and just do the same thing over and over. Seth really feels what’s going on in the body and works from there and he’s amazing at explaining — I feel as if I get an anatomy lesson every time and understand my body so much better now. Thanks Seth!

I was lucky to be one of Seth’s first clients when he began his practice years ago in Santa Barbara. After ten minutes of being on his table I thought «this is MY massage therapist.» It is difficult to describe in words the level of healing I went through as I worked with him regularly for two years after that first massage. Seth helped me get back into relationship with my body after years of fighting with it. No small contribution to my life as you might imagine!
Bottom line is that Seth is a master at the TECHNICAL aspects of massage and a natural when it comes to practicing massage as an ART. One word of warning, if you go to Seth once you’ll likely not want to be on anyone else’s table afterwards. Just sayin!

Whoa! This guy gets it done! He talks anatomy like a doctor and has the hands of a gladiator. Scar tissue? Sports injury? TMJ? Migraines? No problem! This is more like a medical treatment than a b.s. back tickle, so expect to immediately get real results with this muscle master.

I’ve been going to Seth a little over a year now. I moved from the west side to the east side, but still I make the trip to Santa Monica to see him. He’s that good.
He’s attentive, professional and thorough. If you’re a big guy like I am, I would highly recommend going to Seth. He’s a strong, physical guy with plenty of technique and knowledge.

Seth is THE MAN. His massages are very unique mixing in different techniques into one massage. I remember the first time I received a massage from him, I swear my posture was super upright for at least a few days that I felt like I gained a few inches. I also appreciate his professional and yet warm persona. He makes you feel comfortable, finds a pressure right for you, and makes you feel like you are in heaven. My only regret is that I don’t use him enough!

Great massage, great music, great guy! Can’t say enough good things!

Due to sports including karate, tennis, and weightlifting, plus teaching, I have a myriad of muscle and ligament issues. I’ve been to dozens of massage therapists and Seth is the best I’ve met. He’s professional, efficient, and effective. He listens to what I need and I always feel I got a good value for my time and money. I’ve been seeing him about once a month for the past year. I highly recommend him for people who want a therapeutic massage.
