If you're ready to kick your injuries in the butt today, read on!
1. Massage Revolution, Manhattan Beach
If you love the relaxing benefits of a good massage, you'll be happy to know that massage also help with musculoskeletal recovery and repair. When pressure is applied to the body, the blood vessels are stimulated to dilate, which leads to an increased delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Especially when your body is in need of rest and recovery, massage can help speed the process by triggering the circulation of essential nutrients throughout the body and the release of stress-reducing endorphins.
The benefits of massage include:
Increased blood flow and circulation
Balanced stress hormone levels
Relief from sore muscles and joints
Boosted detoxification
Deeper sleep and overall feeling of relaxation
Why our clients love Massage Revolution:
Many of their therapists are certified by prestigious massage institutes around the United States. Rest assured you are in good hands. (No pun intended.)

3. Float Clinic, Torrance
Flotation therapy is an excellent choice for people recovering from injuries who want to combine the serotonin-releasing effects of deep relaxation with the musculoskeletal benefits of total body sensory deprivation. The high concentration of Epsom salt also provides an instant boost of magnesium (an essential mineral your body needs) to sore and inflamed joints and muscles, which can be beneficial in reducing inflammation and regulating nerve function.
The benefits of flotation therapy include:
Reduced lactic levels in muscles
Increased ATP production
Regulation of stress hormones
Whole body detoxification
Improved sleep and concentration quality

Don't worry about taking anything else except your body. The facility provides everything you need for a pleasant relaxing time (i.e. towels, earplugs, shampoo, lotion, cotton swabs).

4. Beach Cities Cryo, Torrance
Cryotherapy has become a staple of the recovery program used by professional sports teams and - for a good reason. Various medical literature shows that by exposing the body to freezing cold temperatures for short bursts of time, cryotherapy can be used to quickly alleviate the inflammatory symptoms associated with acute and chronic injuries. This means less downtime and a quicker return to whole body functioning.
The benefits of cryotherapy include:
Increased blood circulation
Accelerated tissue oxygenation
Decreased inflammation in muscles and joints
Boosted energy, alertness and strength
Reduced arthritic pain
