Meet Jose Rodriguez, CMT

 A: I specialize in treating a wide range of injuries including post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, new or old injuries from repetitive motion, auto accidents, and work-related injuries. My treatments are tailored to address the unique challenges and needs associated with each type of injury. 

 A: Post-surgical massage therapy can significantly aid in the recovery process. It helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, decrease pain, and restore mobility. Additionally, it can help in breaking down scar tissue and speeding up the overall healing process. 

 A: During your first visit, I conduct a thorough assessment to understand your specific condition and medical history. This includes discussing your current pain points, past injuries, and any relevant surgical history. Based on this assessment, I will develop a personalized treatment plan 

  A: Yes, massage therapy is highly effective for treating sports injuries. It helps in relieving pain, reducing muscle tension, increasing flexibility, and preventing further injury. I also provide guidance on exercises and stretches that can aid in your recovery. 

 A: The frequency of massage therapy depends on the nature and severity of your injury. After the initial assessment, I will recommend a treatment plan which includes the frequency of sessions needed for optimal recovery. 

 A: Absolutely. I believe in a multidisciplinary approach to healing and can work alongside other healthcare providers, such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, or your doctor, to ensure a cohesive treatment plan.

 A: For repetitive motion or work-related injuries, I use a variety of techniques including deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. These techniques are effective in alleviating pain, improving range of motion, and addressing underlying muscle imbalances 

 A: Coverage can vary depending on your insurance plan. I recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your coverage. I can provide necessary documentation for insurance claims when needed  

 A: You can book an appointment via our secure online scheduling, or by calling (310)800-9931. If you have any specific questions or concerns before booking, feel free to reach out.  

 A: Your safety is my top priority. I adhere to all current health and safety guidelines, including regular sanitization, wearing masks, and maintaining social distancing where possible. Clients are requested to reschedule if they feel unwell. 

 A: To prepare for your session, ensure you're well-hydrated. Think of your muscles like a sponge; when dry, they can become brittle and less flexible. Proper hydration before and after your massage helps keep your muscles pliable and responsive to treatment. Also, wear comfortable clothing and avoid eating a large meals 1 hour before your appointment.
