I want to thank Rosa again for that amazing work she did and finding other issues that were causing discomfort in my shoulder. Rosa is very knowledgeable of how the body should function and very skilled with her massage techniques and tools. I am so glad that I went to Rosa for help. I highly recommend her if you need to recover from an injury, need lymphatic work or a massage. Thank you Again, Rosa. read more

I was gifted a postpartum massage from a girlfriend and Rosa made it the best experience! I didn't even realize how messed up my body was until she got to work. Some parts of the massage felt as painful as labor but immediately after I felt insane relief. Afterwards she had me lay on an acupressure massage table for an additional half hour and that was relaxing and like a second massage. I highly recommend doing a postpartum massage with Rosa! I'll be back! read more

Athletic Recovery Center - Massage Therapy Near Me - Monrovia, California

This place is incredible for recovery. I originally came in just for the cold plunge, but it turned into a much better experience than I expected. The staff made me feel comfortable right away, like I actually belonged there. I'm staying out in Monrovia for a bit, so the location worked out perfectly since it's right nearby. More than anything though, I walked out feeling noticeably better than when I came in. Appreciate you guys. read more

Athletic Recovery Center - Massage Therapy Near Me - Monrovia, California

I had a GREAT experience with Rosa! This was my first time doing sports therapy at ARC, and let me tell you--it won't be my last! From the moment I entered to the moment I left, I felt welcomed and taken care of. Rosa walked me around the facility and showed me all the recovery tools and machines. The room I had my massage in was clean and inviting. During my massage, I loved how Rosa told me exactly what she was doing and WHY she was doing it. She checked in on me when it came to pressure and pain. Rosa was able to tell me where misalignment was in my back, and she used different techniques to release tension. It's been a few hours since I got the massage and I already feel better! Can't wait to book my next appointment! Happy Marathoner/hybrid athlete here! read more

Rosa has a true gift of healing hands. I found ARC Monrovia through Instagram. It was easy to make an appointment. My focus was on the hip flexors and my goodness...she hit every trigger point. I felt relief days after the massage. I will be back, Rosa. Your technique and all the tools you have are a saving grace. read more

Amazing experience with Rosa! The lymphatic drainage massage was gentle yet very effective. I felt less bloated and noticeably lighter right after the session. Rosa was very knowledgeable, professional, and made the whole experience relaxing and comfortable. Highly recommend if you're looking to reduce swelling and feel refreshed! Can not wait to go back!! read more

Rosa the owner is magnificent and has created such a fabulous place to heal and nurse your body. This is my second visit and I was thrilled to enjoy the sauna and leg compressions .

See all

Rosa is a deeply gifted therapist. She is knowledgeable and intuitive. I came to her a few years after having my son I had been struggling with so much chronic pain. A two hour session helps me SO much. Grateful to have found Rosa and Arc. read more

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. Her massage tables are very comfortable, as she can adjust them to decrease any strain in the lower back from laying for at least an hour. We would highly recommend Rosa and her team. read more

I recently had my first therapeutic massage @ ARC with Rosa. She's not the owner but truly cares about your wellbeing. I've gotten all types of massages before but none compared to the session I had @ ARC. I've been dealing with pinched nerve and thoracic outlet syndrome causing excruciating pain and numbness shoulders down to my arms and fingers. Rosa was able to relieve much of this pain in one session, especially in places I did not realize I had pain. This was the best Thanksgiving for the mere fact of finding ARC in my Instagram reels. If you're looking for chronic pain relief, look into ARC! read more

I wish lived closer because my experience here was great. I did an hour session in the sauna and cold plunge. It's in a private room with robes and towels provided. The sauna and cold plunge are both top of the line and kept clean. I thought Rosa was very nice and accommodating to my last minute appointment. I plan on visiting with my wife in the future when in town. read more

ARC, and specifically Rosa, is phenomenal!! I cannot rave about her more or recommend her more highly. I had severe leg pain that she was able to work through via massage. I also used the red light therapy sauna and ice bath, which was AMAZING!! I didn't think I'd be able to tolerate the cold water, but I did, and it was fantastic! The sauna and bath are in the same private room, and I alternated between the two. I honestly wish I could use the sauna/bath every day! Now, my leg is so much better, and I'm walking with much less of a limp. A few more treatments will have me as good as new! read more

I love this place! Rosa is very knowledgeable about the human body and overall wellness. She has a genuine passion for helping people. She gives the best massages and tailors it for your specific needs. She used scrapping tools, cupping and her amazing hands on me and I felt like a new person! I'm so happy that I found her. I've been using the infrared sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy, PEMF mat and I can really feel the difference. Her pricing is also very reasonable and so worth it. So happy she is in Monrovia!! read more

Absolutely top-notch recovery center! The range of services is unbeatable, from targeted massages and ice baths to the sauna--all perfectly set up for a complete recovery experience. Rosa is amazing; her expertise and care are unmatched. Left feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on any workout. Highly recommend for athletes or anyone needing a reset! read more

Absolutely amazing place that offers so much for healing. I just got a massage yesterday with Rosa, and I really can't thank her enough for how hard she worked on me. I have severe scoliosis and had spinal fusion surgery as a teenager so I am a little tricky to work on so it's rare I can find someone who knows how to work on my fused spine properly. She is a master at what she does and she really knows her anatomy and the places that need to be worked on to release other areas. I have not been able to fully turn my head to one side completely for a long time now until I had this massage, and now I am able to turn all the way with no problem. Truly a miracle. My energy is so much lighter today too. I will most certainly be back and include this as a regular part of my wellness routine. It's a must now!!!! read more

Rosa has been so amazing. After 70 pound weight loss my body panicked and I had a lot of issues from cramping through to swelling due to a very aggressive weight lifting routine. She supported my recovery, helped with some very bad inflammation and also worked the area around my neck so well it improved my vision due to the improved blood flow. She is super knowledgeable and very open. Her recovery center also has a lot of great equipment to do quick therapy sessions as well. read more

This place is great for post training or event recovery. I have used the sauna and ice bath multiple times after a triathlon and it has sped up my recovery and ability to train for new goals faster. Melanie for massage therapy has helped me reach new personal records with weight training! ARC is a great addition to any training program and the owner Rosa is so knowledgeable and willing to help! read more

My first time here today for a massage.This was definitely the best massage I've ever had. Melanie was very professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back. read more

I was referred to Melanie Ramirez by my niece and I regret not going to her earlier. I've always had neck, shoulder, and back issues due to past history and now working from home, so I'm always either very sore or in pain. Melanie will always ask what's going on and what I'd like her to focus on. She always takes her time working out all my crazy knots. She may be itty bitty but she is mighty STRONG. What I love about her technique is that she will work on one spot, let it rest and go back to it until the knot is gone. Not like others where they massage the hell out of that knot leaving you in extreme pain. I highly recommend Melanie to everyone. She will be my forever masseuses. read more
