Elena Schwartz

Massage Therapist & Medicupping Practioner- Pasadena

A session with Elena will provide longer-lasting PAIN relief. She is a certified Medical Massage Practitioner (MMP), who specializes in instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM); with the use of Myofascial Release, Cupping, Deep Tissue, warm stone massage, LOMI LOMI,  Sports Massage, stretching, Reflexology, Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST)  and Aromatherapy.  She is ACE™certified in Vacuum Medicupping; a technique that incorporates a decompression machine to create a "tent" by lifting the skin up off the muscle tissue to create a bit of space for flow and long-lasting pain relief. 

 

Elena's massage career grew from her inherent knowledge of architecture and ergonomics. She graduated with a B.F.A. degree in Architecture from Otis in Los Angeles, CA in 2005.  After 20+ years of design/desk work, she suffered from chronic headaches and back pain due to whiplash and poor posture. Massage and more specifically, "Myofascial Release" became the stepping stone that helped her realize the similarities between the structure of a building and the structure of the body. Her goal is to have you sit up from the massage table feeling lighter and move more flowy!
