From the reviews

Very grateful to have found this place. My wife and I started to get massages from Rosa a few months ago now. We are blown away by her experience and how well she can really assess our different body needs and tailor her massage to give us the most benefit.

I was referred to Rosa by my chiropractor because of ongoing issues on my hip flexor. For years I had a pinch which was uncomfortable and it prevented me from pushing further on my exercises. After my first appointment, it was immediate relief which made me come back for more.

Hi all review readers! My name is Aaron, Owner of Sealey Strength Gym. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Monrovia Athletic Massage, I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the level of service and expertise that I received. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt welcomed and at ease.

★★★★★ — Sealey, Mar 2023

Rosa is much more than just a massage therapist, she is a true body worker! Things get fixed with her! I have had hearing loss in my left ear for over 30 years. I couldn’t hear frequencies that was 3,000 to 4,000 HZ like crickets or birds and after one session, I was able to hear crickets and birds again.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
