Do you remember what it’s like to be tension-free? To not be stiff or full of aches and pains? How it feels to sleep well at night and wake up energetic, ready to take on your busy day? The move towards technology has forced many of us into inactivity, with hours spent in front of our computers. But in Los Angeles, particularly, we also spend far too much time sitting in our cars. With shoulders hunched, legs bent and back forced into an unyielding position, we are often in pain, stiff and fatigued. Michael Greenspan, Certified Neuromuscular Therapist and owner of Massage Revolution in Manhattan Beach, has developed a natural, drug-free effective solution to help our aching bodies and offers and affordable solution!
Neuromuscular Therapy and What It Does
Unlike traditional massage, Massage Revolution’s neuromuscular treatments focus on finding the cause of clients’ problems, not just temporarily treating them. Neuromuscular therapy is based on thoroughly assessing and treating muscle pain, imbalances and injuries, while relieving trigger points and restoring blood flow and nerve transmission to affected areas. Trigger points are small, painful knots in muscles that sometimes feel like peas. If you’ve ever pushed on knots in your shoulders, for example, you know what they feel like. They often burn, radiate pain and can simply wear you out.
Muscles play a significant role in the body’s overall health, and finding and releasing the trigger points reduces pain and improves body function. Many people experience persistent throbbing, aching, stiffness, tension, 
burning and tingling, which conventional treatment has often failed to fix.
"It’s my vision to raise the quality of bodywork and help more people who need longer lasting muscle relief," says Greenspan. Michael Greenspan is a Certified Neuromuscular Therapist, Posture Alignment Specialist, pain relief and corrective exercise expert, who has been successfully practicing neuromuscular therapy for 17 years. He is an instructor, educator, and practitioner in the healthcare field, helping people holistically become pain-free. Greenspan uses a variety of natural techniques to help clients stay active, sleep better, sit more comfortably and maintain their muscles in an optimum state of relaxation.
Neuromuscular therapy involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body to help balance the central nervous system. Stress, injury, or trauma can interfere with nerve signal transmission and cause issues such as: back, neck, and shoulder pain, headaches, sleep disturbances. Fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel, herniated discs, scoliosis, knee, hip, or joint pain, sports injuries or decreased sports performance, TMJ, spasms and postural distortions.
Dr. Janet Travell, a pioneer in the field of skeletal muscle pain, co-author of an acclaimed book on trigger points, and an attending physician to John F. Kennedy, discovered that trigger points are a component in up to 93 percent of muscle pain in pain clinics and the sole cause of muscle pain in as much as 85 percent of those cases.
The Pain-Free Solution
Massage Revolution has developed five Signature Neuromuscular Massages to get clients back on the path to well-being. : Revolutionary Back Relief Treatment, Complete Headache Relief Treatment, Ultimate Neck Relief Treatment, Total Shoulder Relief Treatment, and Fibromyalgia Relief Treatment.
Although also offering traditional massage and spa services, six of Massage Revolution’s 20 therapists are specially trained in neuromuscular therapy. "We’re completely unique in this sense from all the other massage centers/spas around town," says Greenspan. "Especially with this new economy, people want more benefits, results, and relief for their money…real relief."
Each of their signature bodywork treatments help correct poor posture so clients can walk, move better, live a healthier less pain-filled lifestyle, and improve their muscle balance and tone. Most important, the treatments aid in restoring clients’ health – without side effects, drugs or surgery. This total-body, holistic approach has helped more than 20,000 of Greenspan’s clients, from people simply seeking pain relief to athletes wanting better sports performance. The signature treatments also identify potential weak spots, which actually help clients prevent injuries before they occur.

LAsThe Place.com: How do you feel you differ from the other Massage businesses that have cropped up?
Michael Greenspan: We’re the only one specializing in giving people long lasting muscle relief from neck, back, headache, shoulder pain/tension with our neuromuscular massages. I have 17 years as an instructor and practitioner of neuromuscular massage and currently have a full practice. We have 6 out of our 20 therapists trained in Neuromuscular Massage that I’ve trained.
Many pro athletes as well as chronic pain sufferers seek these treatments and drive from all over Los Angeles to come see us. None of the other regular massage places can pull from outside the South Bay just offering regular massage…yet people are greatly motivated to get out of pain, so they drive distances to get results.
Neuromuscular massages raises bodywork to a whole new level. It’s nothing like you’ve ever experienced before and it’s only available at Massage Revolution. I’m only 1 of a few people in Los Angeles highly skilled in the particular method of Neuromuscular Massage we offer…and I’m the only instructor.
We also differ because with Neuromuscular Massage, each client first gets a complete posture analysis to determine which muscles are tight, at the source of their issues, and pulling their posture out of alignment. Then, the Neuromuscular Massage Therapist releases all the necessary muscles to bring them back into alignment so they feel taller, shoulders, neck and head way back, with amazing relief. They work the muscles much more thoroughly than any type of massage: they work the individual muscles completely, from origin to insertion (or beginning to end), and the muscle belly in between, and all the little knots, spasms, and "trigger points" at the root cause of the pain. No other place offers so much for your money. These are treatments myself and all my few associates charge over $150 per 1 hr session, yet my vision is to get them out more affordable to give people the relief they need and deserve. We charge only $79 per 1 hr session. For just a little more money than the other regular massages you get amazing long lasting muscle relief.
LATP: Are your visitors getting results?
Michael: First, check out testimonials from 2 top 10 volleyball players in the world:
"I was side-lined in 2006 with a torn meniscus in my left knee and a rotator cuff repair in my left shoulder. After extensive rehab and strength training I started competing again but I wasn’t feeling good out on the court. I was suffering from back pain due to a phenomenon known as compensation. I was getting stronger on my surgery side, but weaker on my healthy side. After two ‘signature body work treatments’ I felt complete relief from pain and was able to focus on the volleyball court without thinking about my body."

"Being a professional athlete comes with a lot of body wear & tear. Massage Revolution has been a key part to my success this year on the beach. With many talented therapists available, 
I’ve been able to work around my busy & random schedule & still get amazing work done every time. Which has kept my body in great competing shape & injury free. I recently had major headaches from traveling & moving. With just 1 treatment (Signature Neck & Back Treatment) my headaches were gone & with the 2nd treatment, I’ve been sleeping better & the range of motion in my neck is back!
Thanks for keeping me on top of my game!!"

A Los Angeles Lakers therapist and trainer totally endorses us…and Brad Beale from Velocity Sports in Redondo Beach, a huge training facility where pro athletes go, exclusively sends us his pro athletes. YES we have so many repeat customers for our Neuromuscular Massages as well as regular ones too.
LATP: Why did you choose the techniques that you use?
Michael: I’ve been teaching and practicing for 17 years now…feel free to check out my personal website at www.eliminatepainnow.com with answers to questions too.
Neuromuscular Massage gets to the source/cause of people’s muscle tension and pain, and people need relief. They don’t want to just feel relaxed…they want results for the money they’re spending, especially these days when money is tighter. They want benefits for their money, and in the massage world, it’s my experience that Neuromuscular Massage provides the most benefits for long lasting muscle relief.
Also, the techniques I didn’t invent. They were actually pioneered by Dr. Janet Travell, JFK’s doctor, and the first female white house physician. She saved JFK from quitting office by healing his back pain with these techniques. He is widely known to have suffered with so much back pain from a WW2 injury, he was going to quit office. She stayed on as white house physician with Lyndon Johnson too.
We hear on and on how our neuromuscular massages are the only thing that helps people…we’re usually down the chain or list of practitioners they’ve seen as they’ve already tried everything by the time they get to us. Often, this is the ONLY thing that gets rid of their headaches/migraines, or back/neck pain. It makes me feel so good to know we’re helping so many people and it’s my commitment to get these treatments out to everyone who will benefit from them.
In addition to their advanced customized neuromuscular therapies, Massage Revolution also provides full spa services such as specialized massages, facials, skin care services, waxing and health supplements.
