KUR Mobile Spa

Ada and her crew at KUR are professional to the greatest degree– the rooms are spotless, the staff is welcoming, and the massages are whatever you make of them. They will go as light or deep as you wish, whatever your aching back (or calves, or neck, or shoulders, or gluteus …) desires and/​or needs. I’m a very active runner with a physical real job – I’m never going anywhere else to fix what gets broken.

Best service I have received! They are all loving, caring and Ada gives the best massages. I am always refreshed and ready to go after she massages me. Thank you so much Ada, you are truly gifted. Vanessa Dias

[preface]: I will convince you this is the massage spa for you.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this place.
This is going to be a very lengthy and in depth review of Kur Mobile Spa. As you can probably tell from my heading, *Spoiler Alert* I LOVE THIS PLACE!
My Background:
I have a number of sports and car accident related injuries (neck, shoulder, lower back, leg, ankle). I had recently had back surgeries (over the course of one year) and a knee surgery (5 months ago). Over the past 2 years I’ve gone to countless massage parlors and spas in an attempt to reduce the pain and find some peace! One outcome of having so many massages is that I can tell exactly when someone is doing something wrong or right with my body. I will immediately walk away from a massage if I notice someone is physically hurting me making me feel uncomfortable (i know you know *exactly* what I mean).
I suffer from chronic lower back pain as well as extreme sciatica pain running down both legs. However, I tend to lead a pretty active lifestyle in which I go hiking, workout, and travel whenever I get the chance.
Meeting Kur Spa and Ada:
On the morning of the day I had planned out a hike with my friends (2 am), I started feeling EXTREME amounts of pain running through both my legs and weighing down on my lower back. I got on my inversion table and hoped I could stretch enough to make the pain go away.
I got desperate and started looking on Unilocal for places open on a SUNDAY at 3 am. This is when I read testimonials from clients at Kur Spa. I got on the phone at 3:30 am and left Ada a desperate voicemail explaining my situation. I couldn’t sleep through the night due to the pain, and got a text from Ada at 8 am sharp on a SUNDAY telling me she’ll work around her schedule and make space for me. She was an angel sent from the back pain gods to me already!
At 11 am she greeted me at the door of guarded building in front of Pershing Square and listened to all my problems.
I promise you this godsend has HEALING POWERS. I walked out of the massage so soothed by her massage and her wisdom. She uses a blend of massages (hot stone, shiatsu, deep tissue, Thai) to make sure your pain is gone! And went home and slept like a baby after so many hours.
I got a discount for checking in on Unilocal and she also agreed to apply the discount again if I came by again. I made yet another appointment to see her the next Sunday. After my third appointment she told me about the memberships she has for continuing clients.
Membership:
Silver: A great deal if you want a discount but don’t see yourself coming routinely.
Gold: Great discount than silver!
Diamond: Most amount of discount! You visit the spa 4 times a month (i go every Sunday, PLEASE don’t steal my 11 am appointments with Ada, deal? :D). If you are busy your credit is transferred to the next month OR you can send a friend or family member in place for you.
Recently I missed a weekend appointment because I’ve been so busy with school. The next weekend I was able to not only get my massage but also take my sister in for a massage as a treat :) She simply fell in love with her massage therapist, Amalia. On the entire drive back home she raved about how great of a therapist Amalia is.
So the next week I took my mom in for a massage as well! And she too left the spa raving about Amalia’s magical touch! I recommend you try Amalia or Ada for your first time.
ADA: I’ve gotten to know Ada very well over the past few months because of our weekly massages. She’s so attentive and has such a kind heart. As I mentioned earlier, I have very very bad sciatica pain… she GIFTED me a pressure point belt that I can wrap around my back or legs or neck. It helps so much with relieving my pain and loosening my very very tight muscles. Look, she didn’t have to go out of her way to give me the belt. YET, she did. Ada truly cares! She sends me and my family home with amazing samples of essential oils that TRULY work– Yes, I was skeptical at first… but now I’m sold on essential oils!
The View: OH MY GOD, the view from the balcony and window is one of a kind! People are literally one building over paying tons of money to sit in swanky overpriced restaurants *trying* to get the view Ada has on he 11^th floor. I’ve taken such awesome Instagram and Facebook pictures from her balcony. Make sure you see it!
All in all, if this won’t convince you that Kur Spa is the place for you then I don’t know what can! I am looking forward to gifting all my friends massages at this spa for the holidays and their birthdays. A quick google search showed me the Kur has a lot of deals available!

Ada gave me one of the best massages I’ve ever had in LA. She knew exactly which knots and muscles to work on my back and she asked me if the pressure was right throughout the massage. I felt very cared for at this place, unlike at other massage places. I will definitely be coming back here!

I almost don’t want to write this review because I don’t want to share my fave masseuse in LA. This woman is an absolute star. I come in with major kinks, I walk out feeling 99.9% better. She knows what she’s doing and is always able to get out all the knots. I can’t sing enough praises but if you’re interested, definitely check it out!

The massage was wonderful. I had a lot of tension in my shoulders and the oil and calming music did the magic. I am going to purchase a few gift certificates for my family members. Will definitely be back. Found this service through Groupon.

I suffer from frozen shoulder and a lot of tension in my upper shoulder area. I had a massage with Ada earlier today. Ada made me feel very comfortable, she was kind, caring and my shoulder is feeling much better thanks to her!

Ada is a true and true massage therapist! My wife and I had a last minute couples massage setup and we were not dissapointed! We are planning on adding them to our monthly massges twice/​month for life. thanks ada and rosalinda

Ada is fantastic! I had my first post-​op lymphatic massage. She could tell all the spots that needed most work. Her technique is spot on and still feel absolutely wonderful hours later. Next appointment booked.

Got a wonderful lymphatic massage here. Very knowledgable, sweet and effective. I was in less pain immediately. Prices are also very affordable!

It was a bit confusing communicating to set up the appointment and some information like on which floor wasn’t provided until we got there. But overall, hubby and I were happy with our deep-​tissue massages. We had Groupons for 2 individual massages but Ada was able to put us in a couples room since it was open that day. Ada tuned in to my sore muscles and provided some good relief. Hubby also had a good session with his massage therapist.
Had to pay for parking, since it’s downtown. Maybe make it a night out with a massage and dinner out.

This spot is a miracle! I first discovered Ada and KUR via Groupon, and I am so glad I did! She instantly knew just from the first touch that I suffer from stress and tension related headaches, but by the end of the session my headache was gone. Her technique is so fluid and smooth, and she is very professional. She is not afraid to get in there and work the trouble spots, but is sensitive to pain tolerance and your relaxation experience. I felt amazing after, so I ended up coming back a second time and was just as thrilled. So much more relaxed and energetic. She always has specials going on ($ 10 off when you check in on Unilocal,3 massages for $ 99, etc), but it is definitely worth the full service price if not more!

I visited for the first time last week and had an amazing experience. The massage was both wonderful and affordable. I believe the woman who did my massage was called Maria — she’s great. The woman at the front desk was also very kind and attentive. They send text message reminders of your appointment, which is very helpful. I’ve already made my next appointment!

Clearly one of the best massages I had!
Ada, was really great at knowing the sore areas, where to concentrate, how much pressure to apply. She included deep tissue, hot stone and warm towels for a complete relaxing massage. She took her time and made sure I was comfortable. Definitely going back!!!

Ada was amazing! She really customized the massage to meet my needs. The groupon deal was worth it. Thanks to Unilocal I was warned about the parking issues and was prepared. I parked in the Pershing Square parking lot across the street for $ 7.00. That way I also had time to explore DTLA area as well after my massage. I will be going back.

Awesome massage, awesome price! If they’re still offering the Groupon, I definitely recommend it — $ 29 for a 60-​minute massage. You’re not going to find a better deal than that. They were also able to schedule me within the week.
It can be a little difficult to find if you’re not familiar with the area — the awning faces the Pershing Square parking lot and then you need to take the elevator inside up to the 11^th floor.
When I arrived Ada (I believe the owner?) greeted me with a smile and water and immediately made me feel comfortable. Guadalupe was my massage therapist and even though she’s a very petite woman, she did a great job and used intense pressure — I was amazed at how strong she is! The full body massage was really incredible. She used a combination of different massage techniques and body oils — the lavender smelled so good! Her voice was very calming and she had me do some deep breathing to enhance the massage — a true professional.
I also want to give a special shoutout to Ada and Guadalupe for being so honest and kind with me. Unfortunately I had to admit to them that I got pretty sunburnt the day before my massage (my fault!) so they worked with me to ensure that my massage wouldn’t irritate my skin (no hot stones) and that I wasn’t in any pain — I really appreciated that they told me I might need to reschedule — that shows real concern for the customer.
Lastly, make sure you bring cash for your tip!

I came here because my sister bought two groupings for a massage.
The reason why I gave 4 stars is because it took me about 9 times going around and around to find parking, and it cost about 7 dollars and it was far. We got there an hour early but ended up late because it was so hard to find parking. Suggestion is to bring cash and park in a lot. I didn’t have cash so I had to find a meter.
I was pretty pissed and annoyed when we finally got to the place.
The building is kinda of really sketchy, but don’t worry! The spa is really nice and the view is AMAZING!
The staff had to cut out massage short since we were late, but they were so so sweet!!!
My massage was great and my sister said hers was amazing and she wants to go back.
We will be back and it’s definitely worth it :), but next time, I’m making my sister drive. Lol

I have been coming to KUR regularly for the passed few months. I have had the opportunity to work with 2 different therapist and I must say this place is revitalizing. Another important note here is these ladies have tons of experience and they have been friendly and professional about suggesting what type of treatments I should take.

With only a handful of reviews and all of them being five stars for this place, I was slightly wary. However, after having my first massage with Ada yesterday, I can say this place is legit! She did a fantastic combo of a deep tissue and hot stone massage and it was divine. She focused on the areas that I requested and really worked on all of my many knots. She worked those hot stones like magic and used some great techniques I’ve never seen before.
Her prices are VERY reasonable as well. There is currently a groupon for KUR (3 one hour massages for $ 79) but you can see if she will just honor the price without it.
I usually love to share about all great places but I almost didn’t want to write a review for KUR so I could keep this hidden gem just for myself! However, I have to give Ada her due and I want her business to thrive because I think she really deserves it.

I called for an appt and Ada was able to squeeze me in for the same day. The location is on a main street on a very old tall building, but once I found the office I had nothing to worry about. Small private office, which a great view of Pershing Square.
Which worked for me, because I was in need of a good massage. I told her what my problem areas were and she worked those areas very well. She did a combination of Swedish and Hot Stone, and she ended by adding some aromatherapy oil on my neck, all which were great! She made sure I was very comfortable both before and after my massage.
Very private, clean, and calming rooms. I booked a Groupon special, but the prices are very affordable. I definitely want to return!
