3 Energies Massage and Bodywork

Gina is amazing. She doesn’t try to waste your time by half-​treating you… She puts all her energy into curing all of your muscular aches. It’s clear that she is motivated by her passion to help people.
I was experiencing excruciating back spasms for over a month. I was walking crooked and with pain in each step. Sitting was the absolute worst. I tried everything (emergency room, chiropractor, acupuncture, pain meds. which only helped temporarily) but after a single deep tissue massage with Gina I am now feeling like I was before those horrible spasms!!!
The massage was a bit painful since she had to get really deep into the muscles, but nothing compared to the pain that I had been dealing with for weeks.
Finally, Gina tells you exactly what is happening. She tells you which muscles she’s touching and what they’re doing to cause you discomfort. She will walk you through everything and leave you with all the knowledge you need for the after-​care process.
If you have ANY muscular related issues, Gina WILL help you. No doubt.

I have been a client of Gina’s for almost 5 years. I initially discovered her through a friend who was also experiencing quite a few chronic pains resulting from too much sitting at a desk and improper posture. She told me that after her session, she dropped to her knees and asked Gina to marry her. I was in so much pain — I took her advice and booked an appointment with Gina. I’ve had plenty of massages before, based in all sorts of disciplines. Everything from hot rock to Rolfing. Never before have I had such transformative bodywork — and on a level that gave me lasting results. Gina’s various fields of studies have given her such a comprehensive understanding of how the body is structured and interconnected. She works on a structural level and uses (at least –on me she does) a lot of trigger point therapy. She starts by looking — just looking at how I stand or walk and she can see how my body is out of alignment. And she FIXES it. I don’t need a chiropracter — there is nothing wrong with my spine. My problems lie in my structural alignment, in my muscle and fascia tissue — resulting from bad habits. In five years she has helped me with everything from bad posture to sports injuries. She has always been incredibly kind and generous, but also pragmatic and rational. I have just recently moved to Los Angeles and I am so sad that Gina won’t be in the same city. Not only because I have grown to really adore her on a personal level, but also because it is incredibly difficult to find bodywork/​massages that are based in so much wisdom, knowledge, and experience — and give you something so much more beneficial than a pleasant experience. Awwww… Gina — thank you so much for everything you gave me: kindness, patience, knowledge, and pain relief. You deserve everything good that comes your way.

Gina is awesome at what she does and I am glad that my friend recommended me to her. I pinched a nerve in my back and was in pain. The pain was all on my right side. Gina did her assessment and advised me of what was happening. She massaged my back and applied deep pressure in all the right places. Like I said she is awesome and very knowledgeable at what she does. Because of this 1 session I felt more mobile than I had been for the last few days. and was able to return to work. Thank you Gina!

She knows human body like a doctor would and she’s passionate about what she does. She knows how to reach the deep tissue to make your body move and feel like it should. I’m very grateful for her expertise.
If you want to get your money and time’s worth and feel better, she is the one to help you get there!

I’m going on a month of pain caused by tendinitis & impingement. Gina is amazing at helping me to work through it! Priceless

Gina is awesome.
She was so attentive to hear my problems and her questions were extensive from my posture, diet and water intake, etc. Honestly I did not feel so great on the day I had a treatment, but the next morning, I felt more relaxed and much better. I plan to purchase gift certificate for my friend’s BD present.

i understand why gina gets so many 5 stars now after seeing her this afternoon. when they say she really listen… dang…she REALLY listen. gina is not there to make you feel good for a couple days but she is there to address your problem areas and work on them even if it takes a couple a sessions to resolve. you get what you pay for meaning sure you can get massages for less but you get quality that’s incomparable and definitely not in the same ball park as gina’s. she reduced my back pain to zero from a 4 and my neck pain from a 4 to 2 on a 0 – 5 scale. worth it!

Gina is such a sweetheart and so professional at what she does. I walked in without an appointment and happened to catch her between appointments. With her trained eye she instantly saw that I was having trouble with my shoulders, and generously accommodated me for a quick trigger-​point release session. I could tell by the way she took me in that she really loves what she does and loves helping people.
The session itself was great — she went over my neck and shoulders, correcting my posture and relieving a lot of pressure. I walked out with my head higher and shoulders straighter. Would definitely recommend Gina!

Gina takes her work very seriously and is intent on helping her clients heal. She is able to pinpoint the areas of tightness and pain and work out the knots in the muscles to get to lasting relief. I was only visiting San Francisco but wished I lived closer so I could go back again!

I have a 3 year old injury to my shoulder and realized I am in some amount of pain all the time — and perhaps I don’t have to live that way. I had used a great trigger point therapy practitioner a couple of years prior and had good results. Time to try it again, but I did not want to drive all the way to the South Bay. Gina did the trick. 90 minutes of strenuous release, and I have muscles working that have not worked in a long time. I have had one session. And look forward to going back for the recommended 2 more. But I bought the package of 5 — because I think I will enjoy future trips to Gina on a regular basis.

Today was my first visit and OMG!!! I purchased a 5 pack session… I work a lot on my laptop and I workout a lot… so basically, have a very stressful life. Gina was able to help me out and open up all my stress points… I feel so relieved. There is no doubt she knows her stuff and if you are prone to injuries, or are injured already (I have lower back and stiff shoulder/​neck problems), I would definitely recommend her. I am looking forward to my next appointment

I injured myself in a dumb cheerleading accident over 10 years ago. I should have listened when my dad recommended Soccer. REGARDLESS, It took me ten years to find someone that could actually help me turn left again. And no, I was not planning a Zoolander reference as I typed that.
This woman is incredible. When I messed up my back for the millionth time on Friday I emailed her because her reviews were awesome. She couldn’t fit me in last minute so she sent me a detailed description of how to relief the pain until I could see her on Monday.
Today she spent 30 minutes fixing 10 year old injuries, explaining everything as she did it.
I am so overwhelmed by the difference in my neck that I keep turning my head for fun. FOR FUN!
(Obviously I’m a little bored today, no judgement please)

Just had my first experience with Gina and just WOW. For the first time in YEARS i was able to move my neck without a pull or any discomfort. I feel like a million bucks and she did this in just 30 minutes! Can’t wait to go back and fix the rest of my body!!!

Gina is amazing!
I went to see Gina for overall body aches and pains including, chronic headaches, stiff neck and shoulders, hip pain, and feet and calf pain, and balance issues. Yes, I came to Gina basically being a complete mess.
She asked me some questions about my background, level of activity, any trauma (10 year old car accident and sprained ankle), daily work life, and observing and inspecting my posture, and what the end goal is, while vigorously taking notes.
Gina works in deep tissue massage, and is incredibly mindful on intensity and pace. In that first 90 minute session, she corrected my feet so I can balance, loosened up my neck so I can turn my head, straightened my hip back into alignment, and loosened up the knot in my back. The frequency of my headaches have also lessened.
I’ve been seeing her for over a month now, and it’s possibly one of the best investments I’ve ever made.

What more can be said??? Gina is awesome and really knows her stuff! I first saw her a few years ago after being in a car accident. I’m not going to say it was a pain free experience because Gina really gets to the root of the problem and pin points the issue with deep pressure, but you do walk out feeling good! The next few days are sore but as long as you ice it’s not bad. Gina is amazing and worth every penny!!!

It does not get any better than Gina. I have never in my life gotten a massage that has left me feeling as good as this one. I came in with a clicking shoulder and boulders of tension on my back, and left feeling as soft and weightless as a dandelion. I could swear that I am even in a better mood. I wanted to hug her of how happy I was; poor woman, she probably thought I was crazy — or she might be used to it, because she truly is a miracle worker.
I knew I was onto something good when before the massage Gina sat down with me for a consultation. She is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy and throughout the session explained everything that she was doing and the reasons why I was feeling tension and pain in certain areas of my back.
It’s funny, I was just coming in for a quickie bit of relief on my back, and left with a better posture, more flexibility and even tips for improving my seating arrangement at work.
I CAN NOT WAIT TO COME BACK!

Whenever I get a stiff neck, stiff shoulders and arm pain, I seek Gina’s expertise. She is extremely knowledgeable of the human anatomy, how the muscles work, and finds the trigger points that are causing pain. She does deep tissue massage, which is truly a therapeutic body work. She’s a «muscle whisperer»; she tells the muscles to let go so that the pain goes away. Pretty amazing!
You must give her a call and make your appointments soon!~

I’m joining the chorus here and singin’ the praises of Gina. My back and shoulders had hurt for weeks. Mostly brought on by stress, I was so tight and wound up I couldn’t turn my neck normally, and forget about moving my shoulders. I’d also experienced chest pain brought on by a spasming pectoral muscle that was continually aggravated at work and the gym.
In several minutes she’d assessed problems I didn’t realize were affecting me so adversely. This is corrective massage with trigger point release, not a froufrou massage. Gina did a fantastic job explaining what she was doing and why. Her communication about pressure and pain levels throughout was excellent.
After the fastest 90 minutes of bliss/​pain I walked out standing taller and was able to move my head and shoulders normally. I really didn’t realize how bad everything was until it all felt normal again.
My only complaint is that she’s so good I’ll be spending a lot more money on massage and bodywork this year :)

I went to see Gina today for lower back pain. I’ve been in pain now for over two weeks — some days unable to leave the apartment. This was/​is a huge issue for me since I’m very active and had even signed up to compete in a triathlon. Since my pain started, I’ve seen other body professionals and a chiropractor and nothing worked.
This was not one of those «feel good» massages. This was elbow-​in-​your-​hamstring painful. Move-​your-​intestines-​out-​of-​the-​way uncomfortable. Remember-​to-​breathe difficult. Talk-​to-​distract-​me challenging.
I can ecstatically report that after one visit I am at 90%! I’m really looking forward to pain-​free walking. I can’t wait to seeing Gina again — I know next time I’ll leave at 110% or better.

Gina is a consummate professional. Her knowledge of the muscle and skeletal structure and deep love of her work combine to make her an exceptional therapist.
Having injured myself in the gym, I visited Gina in hopes that she would be to ease my back pain. In short order, she was able to target specific muscles to release pain and provide a wider range of motion.
Believe me – this is not your typical «feel good» massage. This is real, therapeutic body work: it may be slightly unconfortable, but it works and that’s all that really matters.
