Javier is my absolute favorite massage therapist. I’ve been seeing him for several years now. As a former prenatal yoga teacher, I would constantly hear what a great prenatal massage therapist he was also! So I sent all of my pregnant students to see him over the years and every single person loves him. I am not pregnant, and I have never gone to him for a pregnancy massage, but whatever you need… He is the one! He has that special touch and is the perfect mix of intuitive body worker and physical therapist. 🙂

Javier is a rare find. I’ve been seeing him for about 5 years now and started going to him for pre-natal massage originally. I had gone to several therapists who seemed afraid to touch a pregnant lady and finding Javier was a great relief. He is so talented and somehow has the exact right balance of therapy and a feel good/relaxing experience. He is extremely knowledgeable about the body and has amazing intuition. Highly, highly recommend.

Javier is my angel! I had a rare cancerous tumor removed from my shoulder/back about 6.5 years ago. I have deep pain and scar tissue from it. I searched for a long time for someone to help me manage this pain. Javier is an answer to prayers! He not only helps with the pain, he pays attention to every detail of what my body needs. I’m so thankful that I can fully trust him with my pain. I recommend Javier to EVERYONE! I literally have my entire friend crew seeing him. 🙂 You should see him too!

Javier is a magician when it comes to prenatal massage! He is HANDS DOWN the best massage therapist I had between my two pregnancies. Javier is intuitive and isn’t afraid of deep tissue techniques, which us preggo mamas need with all the aches and pains that arise. He’s warm, caring, authentic, and friendly. And, he’s great at picking up on if you’re in a talking mood or just want to zone out and be silent. I am eternally grateful for the support and healing he provided during this pregnancy, and highly recommend him!

Javier is the absolute best for prenatal massage. I had been going elsewhere for prenatal massage, but my experience at OC Massage Therapy was MUCH better. I have been coming in regularly throughout my pregnancy, and he has helped me get through all the aches and pains!

I was fortunate to meet Javier because our daughters attend the same elementary school – he’s got such amazing personality; hard not to love the guy; and I didn’t even get to the best part; he’s got magic hands! I have always been the guy who joins his better half at the spa for a massage 1-2x per year – but, I am aware of the amazing health benefits of regular massage therapy! (given that most of us are parents and deal with great amounts of stress on a daily basis) – I have been seeing Javier every 4-6 weeks and I feel just great – he has helped releave stress, tightness and muscle pain from my upper back, shoulder and neck area; also my hips (due to my arthritis) – COMBAT THE DISEASE OF SITTING BEHIND A DESK!! Workout, healthy meals and visit your friendly Massage Therapist!! TED E.

Javier gave me one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I went in for 90 minutes, and asked for full body deep tissue, with an emphasis on my shoulders, neck, and upper back as these are particularly tight areas for me. Javier seemed to intuitively know what my body needed — how much pressure to use and how to manipulate the muscles so they would release — and I left feeling more relaxed and open than I have in a long time. I re-booked immediately and am so pleased I have found my Southern California massage therapist! I highly recommend Javier.

My husband and I became clients of Javier’s earlier this year. He is extremely skilled and I love that he gears his pressure to your needs and uses a variety of techniques to tackle pain. Trigger point, deep tissue, relaxation, etc. It seems like a lot of massage therapists have a routine they do; They might hit a good spot, but then they keep going, leaving you wishing they’d worked out some of those knots. Javier is adept at finding those spots and releasing them properly before moving on.

Javier is exceptional good at what he does! I’ve been to see him several times for emphasis on the neck and shoulders and he works his magic every time. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting any sort of massage therapy. On top of his skill he is always so polite and I genuinely look forward to my appointments so much
