I've been a fitness professional for the last 5 years and it's really difficult to find other people in the health and fitness industry that provide exceptional service. It's even more difficult to find people who provide exceptional service AND know what they are doing. After many trials and error finding someone I trust completely with my body, Christine has been my go-to and I will never replace her. I lift a lot of weights and play sports, therefore I tend to get tight all over. She helps me release tension in my muscles to help prevent injury, but also allow me to gain more progress in the gym, helping recovery quickly and active all my muscles easier. Better activation means more gainzzzzz! She has assisted me in my right shoulder injury, left shin injury , hip tightness, and a torn right acl knee. I can train without any restrictions after I get massaged by her. I have only met 5 people in the fitness and health industry In the past 5 years that I trust. She is one of them. read more

Been through Chiropractic & Physical Therapy for injuries that happened in my 30s, but Christine actually provided a thorough assessment that explained my solutions, then worked her magic and I felt stronger walking out and now have the confidence to continue playing basketball again, even at 40! read more

First found Christine because I needed some massage therapy and it was very different then anything I've experienced before (hard to describe, but it's like a burning sensation vs. a kneading feeling). It was effective though so I decided to see her for some body mechanic and posture workouts. Those have been great as well. I'm glad to have met Christine and work with her on my health journey. Definitely get a massage with her and if you can, get some posture training too! read more

Christine was recommended by close friends of ours. She has very strong hands, and can go as deep or soft as you need (I've never had to ask for deeper massage - only for her to lighten up a little on the more sensitive areas). Her philosophy is to also use less oil/cream than others so she can feel the areas that need more work, and do a better job with manipulation. She does a great and very thorough job! Very professional. She can feel where the problem areas are, and will spend extra time on them. In fact, she often finds areas that I didn't even know I needed work. She's fantastic. Flexible on scheduling, great personality too! Ask about her membership plans. Totally worth it. I look forward to every session! read more

Christine is amazing! Very professional and really understands the sports side of massage. I didn't have to overexplain what was hurting and why. She already knew. Excited for my final two massages with my three-pack that I bought and I can't wait to go back. read more

Ok wow. Christine is way different than any other massage therapist I've been to! First of all, she has a delightful personality and is super easy going and fun to chat with. Right off the bat, I could tell that she was different than most massage therapists because she has an incredible background with triathletes, Olympic athletes, weightlifters, and CrossFit athletes. I always love getting worked on by people who have experience in the extremes of their field, and Christine is exactly one of these gems! Her location is right off the freeway, and was really easy to get to. I'm located in Newport Beach and it was really easy to find. Her suite is spacious and relaxing, with also a athletic vibe. She offers more than just a spa experience; she has far infrared heat lamps and E-Stim too. Christine's pressure was spot on. In the past, I feel like I get massages and it's either too light or they push too hard in the wrong spots. Not Christine. She has a great combination of pressure speed and depth so that it was right at the sweet spot between comfort and therapeutic healing. I am a chiropractor, and I can tell quickly if a massage therapist keeps on learning about their trade, or if they're doing the same thing over and over on each person. I am really glad that I found Christine, and will definitely be recommending my patients to come to her for their massage therapy treatments! read more

I've had some lingering overuse injuries that I've put off for quite some time. It was pretty much to the point where I would just work through the pain and "lived" with it. Christine came highly recommended in our community, so I figure I give her a try to see what she could do. Ok, wow! She's super awesome to work with, extremely knowledgeable, and thorough. My shoulder has been sore for about a year and a half. After working with her, the pain was completely gone. It was so weird to have full range on my shoulder I had to keep testing it out to make sure it was real! She also recommended ongoing exercises to help make sure the problems don't come back. Bottomline, she's the real deal! read more

I've been seeing Dennis for awhile now and it's been amazing! His technique is unique and precise to what my body needs at the time of the appointment. I get massages regularly and try to maintain a routine with self care so when I see Dennis I'm grateful for the time. He does a great job and I've definitely seen & felt an overall improvement in my body. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs specific muscle work and to relax. read more

Christine is absolutely gifted! She has strong hands, is very thorough, and very educated on the anatomy and physiology of the human body. I have been in the dental field for a few decades which is very taxing on the body. In order to prevent early retirement, I get regular chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage therapy. It's safe to say that I have had a few hundred massages in my lifetime. Christine is definitely one of the best I've ever worked with. I don't like the shee shee type of massages. I have always preferred a deeper, more intense sports massage and she has always delivered! It's amazing how she tackles so many areas in one hour. And I never leave feeling like there was a spot she missed or "I wish she worked on that area a little longer." My entire body feels relaxed and soothed when she is done with me. I'll often come in asking for one area. Not only does she alleviate the pain in the sore spot, but she manages to squeeze in a full body treatment. She says her specialty is shoulders, but I would definitely say she has a gift for working on the neck. Uhhhhh, and forearms... and legs/thighs.... and shoulder blades... ok, it's hard to pick a favorite area. She's superb at it all! She even knows a ton of stretches and exercises and spends time teaching you how to do it. She's very flexible with scheduling and I like that a lot. She also has a positive and inspiring attitude. (It's like she's constantly high on endorphins). Such a happy and uplifting personality! She plays some great music too. Not that typical spa crap (unless you request it). I always look forward to hearing her playlist for the day. I would highly recommend Christine. I'd give her ten stars if I could! read more

Christine is a miracle worker! I played volleyball for 13 years and have the aches and pains to prove it. I found her through Yelp and am so grateful I did! I contacted her and she was extremely prompt in getting back to me so we could set up an appointment. The first session we spoke so I could explain in detail the areas of pain I needed the most help with and she paid extra attention to my problem areas during the massage. All it took was one massage for me to be hooked and book another one! Thank you Christine! read more

This was a great experience- maybe the best massage I've ever had. Christine really helped with my trouble spots and I feel much better.

After moving here from Boulder, Colorado, I have been very worried about finding a good therapeutic sports massage therapist with additionally a great personality. I saw Christine now five times, and have been extremely impressed by how the massage feels and the results. The sports related problems I had in my shoulder, hip, neck and ankle steadily decreased, and even my Bikram Yoga practice improved. I especially like the slow and sustained pressure Christine applies, which not only feels great, but works exceptionally well. I can whole heartedly recommend Christine. She is excellent, listens well, and additionally has a great personality. read more

I may not fit Christine's typical client profile, and I'm so glad I found her. As an active senior, I have a village of folks to help me stay active and fit (trainer, chiropractor, physical therapist, acupuncturist, and now, a fabulous massage therapist). Christine listens to me and is eager to help me reach my fitness and performance goals. The massages are great and she can target any specific 'problem' areas I may have. I know I'm in the good hands of a true professional and she takes excellent care of me. Looking for a massage therapist to be a member your own fitness village? Give Christine a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

I booked my reservation with her after finding the Oc Athletic Massage for my sport massage. I have problem with my back and neck and I have taken massages in other places. She was the only one was able to find the source of my hip problem and exact reason. She did a great massage and I really felt a relief after one session, I think I need more session for my problem and definitely will get another session with her. She also gave me some practice and moves for strengthening my muscles. I am satisfied 100%. Highly recommend. read more

Christine is AMAZING and knows how to fix WHATEVER I have managed to damage during the week. Im an avid athlete abusing my body with everything from HIT, weightlifting, and Tri-athlons (sometimes all three) Christine quickly assess what I've done and helps set my body to heal quickly and effectively. Meaning , WAY less down time from training! Absolutely the best! read more

She has ruined every massage I've ever tried to get on vacation. She's just that good. So I spend my money on other things and Christine is my go to. No one really can compare. read more

Christine is knowledgeable, dedicated, and hilarious! She reviewed my knee injury, educated me on the potential sources and treatments, provided much needed massage therapy to my legs, and went over-time in order to make sure I was set to recover after I left the office. I'm now able to squat again with no pain, thanks to her massage work and the excellent stretches she guided me through. I highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their mobility or alleviate pain. read more

I am quite sure my comment will bury among tons of good ones. Due to some issues on my upper back left side, I had done many things to cure, also been in different places, massages, and treatments. I found Christine's name on the internet where people had said lots of good stuff. With just one session, she nicely addresses my problem and unbelievably fixed it. She is very patient, a good listener and knows body structure (Anatomy) very well. At the end, she recommended some exercise and tiny tricks to avoid future problems, and I am really happy with her service. I was the last patient at the end of the day, and once I stepped out, realized she was busy and in a hurry to leave, but she patiently was listening to my concerns and gave me a bunch of advice. Highly recommended read more

Christine is the best! Amazing results. Fixed my shoulder injury. Fixed my low back pain. She is very knowledgable about the body and how it works. read more

I've been to a few massage therapists, Christine Ryan is hands down the best I've ever had the privilege to work with. She's accommodating, incredibly fun, personable and a good conversationalist when I'm feeling talkative or quiet and responsive when I'm feeling meditative. Her range of pressure is incredibly extraordinary. As an very active person (strongman weightlifting classes and multiple hockey teams) I've seen her for a myriad of aches and excruciating pains. She's assessed and addressed things that doctors, chiropractors, and acupuncturists missed. I'd highly recommend her to anyone that needs a body tune up. read more

Christine is a miracle worker! When I dislocated my shoulder while snowboarding I wasn't sure how to help the healing process. She has a unique skill of identifying target areas of your injury and an even more unique way of fixing them! After a few sessions, she had me back up and running. I would certainly return again (but fingers crossed I won't need to) and would recommend her to others. Thanks, Christine! read more

I'm an Athlete of many years who has had a double shin splint issue for many years. Massage, stretching, Rolfing & rest wasn't making it any better. Two sessions with Christina and I just ran 10 miles pain free for the first time in years. I'm sold, and she just gained a client. read more

I've has many different massage therapists over the years for Fibromyalgia, and Christine is hands down the best one I've been to yet!

I have been seeing Christine for massage for a couple months now on a regular basis and I am very pleased with the results. Specifically I am getting lymphatic drainage massage.

Thanks Christine! read more

Christine is the real deal. I'm a runner and it's so great to find someone so knowledgeable and skilled at sports massage and massage therapy in general. Highly recommended. read more

Incredible. I can't recommend this strongly enough. I struggle with chronic pain and even just one massage alleviated the pain like nothing else has (and I've done a lot, including other great massages). Christine is impressively educated and talented. She realigned my spine, taught me more about the issues with my body than multiple doctors I've visited, and gave me targeted exercises to do at home. Even if you live a bit far afield, like in los Angeles, if you are struggling with any kind of physical pain, spinal misalignment, or other issues of that nature, it is worth visiting Christine read more

Dropped in as a recent neck injury was flaring up. I missed seeing my "regular" therapist in San Diego and was in the OC area on a trip. WOW! Christine was super friendly and responsive and narrowed in quickly on the problem areas. The massage loosened up my neck and shoulders and I felt way better after. She even had targeted stretches I haven't tried that I've added to my routine. This gal knows her stuff and had a lot of good advice, will definitely come back again if/when in the area. read more

I saw Christine the week prior to the LA Marathon. Unfortunately, I was rear ended approximately 3 years ago and haven't been the same. I have had many massages by many people across the country as I travel a lot for work and Christine was a thorough as I have come across. In addition to the massage, she researched exercises with instructions to help me find relief. I highly recommend! read more

Wow - Christine did such an amazing job with my massage. I had Back pain from a motorcycle accident and neck pain. She worked it all out and I feel amazing. She gets in the zone and really felt my pain and worked it out. I have never had a massage where the masseuse felt more like a healer finding exactly what caused the problems so that was amazing to experience. read more

Christine Ryan is an excellent message therapist. She is a cyclist herself, and appreciate the experience and knowledge she brings the the table (pun intended). I ride my road bike about 8500 miles a year, play squash a couple times a week and lift weights twice a week...All regularly year around. I pretty much beat the crap out of my body, and I'm 54 years old. I use her for deep tissue work to help me doing the things I love to do. I highly recommend her. read more

As an avid cyclist, I use massages as an integral part of my training and recovery. Christine has an experienced touch that soothes the sorest of bodies. Her knowledge of the muscle groups and connective tissue is only surpassed by her healing touch. I look forward to my next session and my IT bands continue to thank her! read more

I have been receiving acupuncture and massages to manage a medical condition as- well-as to continue my physical activity. Christine Ryan has a wide range of massage techniques that are optimal for my situation. I originally went to Christine for a lymphatic drainage massage but also found she was able to IDENTIFY ( one of her strengths as a massage therapist) muscle and joint attachments that limited my volume of exercise. Christine has a knack for applying the correct pressure for the tissue involved. Her massage therapy sessions have allowed me to increase my cycling efficiency and for the first time in 5 years I am back to running regularly. Thank you Christine! read more
