I love Elena's massage. She is not only a knowledgeable and great massage therapist but also a caring and loving person. I look forward to my appointments with her. I even took my 12 year old daughter to have massage with her. My daughter asks me all the time when she is having another massage with Elena.

I have been bringing my 16-year old daughter to Elena for massages for several years now. My daughter does Ballet many hours a week, and has had Scoliosis since she was little. She needs a professional massage to keep her condition at check, and to relax/heal her muscles. She also gets hip and neck pains from training, and we love coming to Elena, because her massages help a lot with pain, and promote healing and well-being.

I would highly recommend Elena's services not just to athletes, but to anyone with neck/back problems, or just for a deep muscle relaxation. Elena is very knowledgeable and experienced. She always gives great recommendations on how to help your specific problem, or how to stay in shape and not get injured. Her massages are gentle, and she is very attentive. It is very hard to find someone experienced, especially in sports massage. Definitely recommend Elena!

Elena is excellent. She is well trained in a variety of techniques and does a great job keeping me in tune! She adjusts her treatment to meet my needs. As a masters track & field athlete I am often suffering some type of injury. Elena helps the recovery process and provides inputs on how to prevent in the future.

It took me 3 years to find Elena. My now 12-year old daughter wants to become a professional ballerina, and trains many hours a week in classical ballet. Several years ago, while living in Moscow, she was diagnosed with Scoliosis and Lordosis. We had an excellent Sports Therapist in Moscow, but after arriving to San Diego, I was devastated. I could find no specialist that satisfied our needs and criteria.

So I had to drive to Los Angeles, and it was very hard on our family. After finally finding and locating Elena, I decided to give her massage a try, And needless to say, we are very happy! Elena is very knowledgable, but she is also very gentle, which is very important! She knows all the specifics and requirements of training of athletes, what is needed and what has to be addressed.

Before Elena's therapy, my daughter always used to complain of neck pains, but after just one massage, it was gone! We also tried cups and loved them! I highly reccomend Elena's services! She is very professional, educated, knowledgable, and kind! P.S. It was hard for me to find Elena's house the first time we came, so make sure you keep in touch with her, and she will help you!

I've known Elena for almost two years. She is highly dependable and trustworthy. I've used her personal training services (which are definitely a cut-above) and now, she comes to my home monthly for a deep-tissue massage. She's also great about reminding me when it's time to take care of myself, and I'm grateful for that. I'm VERY selective regarding who enters my home, yet Elena has earned my trust. Elena knows the science of the body and the mechanics of every joint and muscle group- and she has the Master's Degree to back it up!

All of her knowledge works to your benefit as she massages you back to great posture and fantastic health. There's nothing better than getting an outstanding massage in the privacy and comfort of my own house. And, if I plan it correctly, I can spend the time after she leaves in quiet reflection, enjoying my home and slowing down to savor the peacefulness that follows an always-amazing therapeutic massage.

I really value the service I get from Elena. She has a great working knowledge of the muscle groups and her touch is careful and skillful. On problem areas, she has the hand strength to zero in on stubborn muscles and make them move again, yet she is very sensitive to my comfort level and finds the right balance. On top of it all, she is a really nice person. I'm so glad to have found her.

Elena is a wonderful massage therapist for high school professional athletes, she works with numerous gymnastics team members including both of my daughters, who train professionally. Elena has deep knowledge about human body and muscles/ligaments. We use her services on a weekly basis. Each time she carefully chooses a unique set of skills out of wide array of skills at her dispence to provide the best recovery depending on the current state of an athlete's body. Currently, our most favorite is cupping along with her massaging technique, heat, rolling, and many others.

Elena has been doing 30 minute sessions with my son since he was 10 months old; he is now one. We've used her services for baby massage, and the results are exceptional. I was able to see improvement within days after the first session. She is a true professional, who takes her time to get to know her patient's history in order to provide a higher quality of service. San Diego Massage Works specializes in therapeutic massage vs. a regular Swedish or even deep tissue massage, which means that after a massage with Elena you your condition will improve, and you are going to feel better instead of simply feeling relaxed. Also, Elena does a ton of research, and is very well educated in various techniques effective in improving your condition. Elena is honest in telling you exactly what to expect and in letting you know about the changes that need to be made in order to improve your daily routine. I have been recommending Elena to all of my friends, and am going to continue to do so! Thank you, Ilona Kerr

I am a professional tennis player. My calf muscles were very stiff and sore after attending a tennis camp. I played for 5 hours a day for 1 weak. I received a good quality sports massage. It was deep tissue massage with stretching. I really enjoyed it, it was very helpful. I plan to come back to receive another sports massage.

At 34 weeks pregnant I pulled a muscle in my back and suddenly couldnt bend over or sit unassisted. Having a 3 year old and working full time this really impacted my life and there were not a lot of options of how to fix it or treat it during pregnancy with medicine. Elena provided wonderful pregnancy safe massages that helped me get through it. She has been great and recommend her to anyone!

Elena is an excellent massage therapist. I saw her during intense training for my first full marathon. She was great with helping me deal with some overuse running injuries I was experiencing. She is also a very nice person and she makes you feel very comfortable. I look forward to seeing her again in the future.

I highly recommend Elana! Since she specializes Sports massage and rehab she has a great sense of where you body needs work. She is very strong and can focus on just the right area. My husband and I both get messages from her on a regular basis which greatly helps our bodies stay healthy and increase the results from our normal workout routine. We would not be able to perform at the level we do without her massage

I always look forward to my massage with Elena. She is a wonderful massage therapist as well as a very caring person. She brings incredible knowledge and insight to her profession, and the calm, comfortable environment invites clients to relax and enjoy their massage experience. I have a lot of sore muscles all over and especially in my neck and shoulders, and Elena very quickly locates the problem spots in my body.

I can feel the tension dissolve as she massages. She always tailors the massage to my current needs and often offers stretches or suggestions on how to work on those trouble areas outside of massage. Elena truly understands her clients' needs, and I highly recommend her services!

Massage with Elena is both, luxury and necessity for me. Regular treatment with her provides me with muscles relaxation, stretching and pain relief. I like Elena's flexible schedule, the way she follows up and the session itself is always adapted to my needs. Very recommendable! Thank you!
