Therapies By Gabriela

Just received an hour massage from Gabriela for my lower back pain. She has amazing hands and amazing energy. She relaxed me and massaged the muscles I never knew existed to ease my pain. I felt so much lightness and relieve after just one session and I can only imagine the healing transformation that would take place after several sessions. I made a more detailed review of her massage on her page as I am too busy to write a full review but wanted to give a shout out to such an amazing massage therapist. Review here —
Highly recommended!

Probably one of the best massages I’ve ever had in my life. Having chronic back pain throughout the years, I have been a strong enthusiast of massage therapy over the conventional use pain killers. Unfortunately, however, I have experienced massage therapy that has left me requiring meds or chiropractic assistance to fully alleviate my back discomfort… Gabriela, is distances from that disappointment. Her supreme knowledge of anatomy, her ability to provide varying pressures, and her commitment to being attuned to her patient, created a therapeutic healing experience that has left me mesmerized. She is truly a heaven sent, and absolutely worth the price!

Gabriela is one of the most in-​tune massage therapists around. Her hands are MAGIC. Seriously, she takes her time and really works her way into the muscle. She loves what she does and it shows. I know that she has a lot of experience with professional athletes which is great. She has a very peaceful practice. She is a calming presence. I highly recommended her!

i’m a very active person (athletic but by no means an ‘athlete’) with a recurring back injury for the last eight years and everytime i aggravate it, i can’t move my neck at all — it just ceases up (try checking your blind spots on the 405 like that!). i know that massage releases it and gives me back my range of motion (and my ability to drive like a speed demon). but i’ve been looking for a preventative solution rather than an temporary remedy for a couple years now; i chose Gabriela because she’s got experience with professional athletes and so i figured she’d be very familiar with human anatomy, specifically sports injuries.
i’ve had many massages over the years and i have to say that she’s the first one who’s worked so methodically and in a rather scientific way; she looks for the source of pain and muscle imbalances and goes to them, explaining all the while what she’s doing and why.
i found by the end of my first session that she’d released some of the tension in my shoulders and chest and for the first time my shoulders sat back and down, the way they’re supposed to. my neck felt freer and she managed to ease some of the «hunchback syndrome» (my term, not hers!) i’d been developing through poor posture and muscle imbalances.
she’s got a great bedside manner, using humour to ease the painful moments and is completely professional. (important since i wasn’t too sure how the mobile massage thing works and was a little hesitant about someone coming to my house.)
i’m giving her four stars because i’m going to continue working with her on a regular basis and will update my review as i progress and whether or not i see long-​lasting results. but for now, i’m a fan and will be a regular customer.
