About Leo
My sessions focus on helping my clients find their path to healing and wellness. I offer comprehensive treatment for muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, nerves, and connective tissue to relieve pain, restore normal joint function, improve posture, balance, comfort and range of movement. I am a certified professional bodywork therapist with over 12 years experience and extensive training with doctors of osteopathy and rolfing (structural integration) therapists. I practice in San Diego, Santa Monica and Palm Springs. Clients wear comfortable clothing (disrobing is not needed). For minors, one of the parents needs to be in the room.
I specialize in myofascial release, muscle energy techniques, neuromuscular mobilization,deep tissue and structural body alignment. Very effective and precise techniques to treat back pain, neck pain, nerve pain as: Sciatic, Plantar Fasciitis, Frozen shoulders, TMJ, Foot pain etc. I offer one hour and ninety minutes sessions.
I know how intensive and unique nerve pain is because some of my facial nerves were once damaged from shingles. I suffered for 5 months from excruciating nerve pain before one of my fellow neuralfascia bodywork therapists treated me with great results.
