Christine is absolutely amazing, I get a massage with her once a months and she is not only knowledgeable but incredibly talented. Hands down the best massage for long term healing.. there is also a sauna and cold plunge right next to her office that you can use after your appointment which is an added benefit.. seriously worth every penny

I was having some neck and trap issues that just wouldnt go away, constantly feeling knotted up and just pain when I bent my neck or turned it. I went to see Christine for a massage which helped a lot but she also showed me some exercises and stretches to do that would help with the neck, also checked my posture and how my body moved, offered some tips on my workouts to tweak a few forms ans workouts I was doing that could trigger the neck pain, and so far - after a couple months of going to Christine my neck is pain free!

Christine is a an expert at what she does. We tailored a 5 month plan on day 1 to best suit my needs as an athlete. I have never felt more prepared to excel on the field each week than when working with her!

My experience was absolutely amazing! The facility was inviting, service exceptional. I am truly experiencing the benefits even after just one session. As the motto reads, If it doesnt challenge you, it wont change you. Looking forward to doing it again.

Visited for a pre marathon massage. Christine understood the assignment and eased my aches and pains! The availability of the sauna, cold plunge and compression boots after is an excellent bonus!

I joined Christine’s stretch class today and let me tell you I felt amazing afterwards. I have been dealing with shoulder issues especially after my shoulder surgery and I’ve been having chronic lower back pain. After stretching this morning I was actually able to do house chores without feeling the pain. I’ll definitely do this class again. Thank you so much Christine 💕.

Christine is in every way an outstanding massage therapist. I can’t imagine a better Massage therapist, for sports injuries or for general deep tissue massage. She thoroughly knows how the body works and how to get it into good shape again. She is very personable and was able to fix all of my pain points and keeps my body functioning well. I highly recommend Christine!

Christine is amazing! I have been seeing her for over a year and she has helped reduced my aches and pains from playing pickleball. She has a great understanding of the human body and knows where to focus every time. She has also helped me prevent injury and allowed me to play longer and more often. Her latest addition of contrast therapy is a game changer!

Fantastic cold plunge and massage therapy. I’ve been coming to Christine’s practice for months leading up to an Ironman and the cold plunge and her athletic massage were key recovery methods after hard sessions. Very clean space and friendly people. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Christine is very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. She treats your complex situation like a puzzle and unpacks the whole musculoskeletal and musculofascial linkage leading to your symptoms. Post injury I attempted to self heal for almost a year and Christine identified what was causing the problem and fixed through holistic active exercises and movement!

2023-08-15 23:24:02

Wonderful experience, will 100% go again. She took into consideration my specific pain points and focused on it. I always look forward to getting the deep knots out and she did just that.Thank you Christine, look forward to my next visit!

Over the years I have visited different massage therapists and I can tell you that Christine is by far the best Ive ever been to....hands down. I sustained a shoulder injury, so finding a therapist with her expertise has been paramount for helping me function, maintain my mobility and avoid surgery. Christines understanding of the human anatomy is truly impressive and her ability to incorporate different approaches such as contrast therapy, stretching and various massage techniques to help injury prevention sets her apart from others. If youre looking for a knowledgeable therapist who, as an athlete herself, understands the importance of a healthy body, I highly recommend visiting Christine at OC Athletic Massage.

Christine is amazing and awesome! I have been getting a weekly massage and/or ice plunge for the past few months and my body has never recovered so well. I can’t thank her enough for her help in my training/recovery for a half marathon.

Review №17

2022-01-06 02:12:52

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. Im 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.

I have been seeing Christine for training and dynamic stretching (ELDOA) for about a year now. She is amazing! After the series of significant injuries I have had, I now feel the best I have in a long time. With Christine and her NEW cold plunge on my side, I’m back pushing the limits, knowing she can get me back out riding my bike!

Really happy with my experience with Christine. There was a snafu with the online scheduler but she was very accommodating to sort things out. The treatment itself was spot on what i needed/looking for. My body had heavy tension from my calves up to my back and it was starting to cause injuries and prevent me from my activities. Her sports massage was strong end effective. I will be a regular

Great place to get a cold plunge - Christine is awesome and easy to schedule a plunge even spur of the moment - for me its a must to maintain my pickleball routine and to nurse my many nagging injuries.

Christine is an amazing massage therapist! Im so grateful to have found her. Its been surprisingly challenging to find a massage therapist who knows what theyre doing--until now! She truly understands how the body functions which is essential for anyone looking to overcome an injury (I happen to fall into this category). I dislocated my rib cage a while back and have been unable to fully recover. In fact, I couldnt get any relief until I began seeing Christine. In just 2 sessions weve made significant progress. I will keep going back so long as I keep getting results. If you are on the fence, just go make an appointment! You will not be disappointed.

Christine is amazing! I have been an athlete for over 45 years and have tried a number of massage therapists, but no one compares to Christine. She is knowledgeable, thorough, and super skilled. I came in with an injury and a tight timeline to get healthy before my next competition and she has truly worked miracles. I cant imagine going anywhere else.

Review №23

2019-10-04 00:51:28

So much thanks and praise for Christines understanding of how an athletes body works! She asked questions, took time to listen and focus on my concerns with each and every visit, and went above and beyond showing me different product out there in the industry that may help me. An injury that had been coming and going for a while, is not completely gone. I feel stronger, and more confident in my runs. I highly recommend Christine!!!

Christine knew exactly what I needed for my runners knee. She was not only able to help during the appointment, but she took the time to set me up for a sustainable PT plan ahead to follow as well as taping me up to be able to start running again softly. I wish I lived here rather than NYC to go see her more often! HIGHLY recommend her.

I found Christine on a google search and she has been amazing. She has a great concept of anatomy and how everything ties together and helped create a custom massage therapy for me. I have been to many practitioners looking for relief and she is the first one to get it and help with my achilles tendentious. She recently added a cold plunge pool and I love it. She also spends time with you and listens and is not in a rush to get you out and on to the next patient. I highly recommend her for any and all massage and sports related nagging bumps and bruises!!

Christine is a true professional. I have received the best sport massage ever.She had a specific technique, firm pressure, and explains everything along the way. I am very picky regarding body workers being a massage therapist myself. I know what I want and what my body needs, and she delivered 100%. I will be back for sure and can highly recommend her.She also teaches Eldoa classes, has Nordic compression for legs, and an amazing sports clothes.🌟professional, great location, parking, easy to book on line, great communication, amazing energy.Christine is an athlete herself, and truly understands other athletes’ needs.I can highly recommend OC Athletic Massage!

I went to Christine with a mysterious running injury on the inside of my calves. I found her on yelp with very positive reviews and she did not disappoint! She checked everything out like a physical therapist would. She asked questions, examined the injured area and then went to work. After I left the first time she gave me specific instructions on what to do before and during my runs. I felt the injury start to subside. When I went to see her again it was much better. I would 100% recommend going to Christine. She is my go to sports massage therapist!

This place is the best! Christine is very welcoming and very people oriented. I got a sport massage from her for a sports injury that I’ve had for over a year and was also able to enjoy an infrared sauna session and cold plunge right after which made me feel great. Definitely worth checking out!

Christine has taught me some very useful, every day tips/techniques to keeping my body feeling great. From satisfying stretches to resetting my body with hot/cold morning showers she is amazing at what she does. I look forward to learning new tricks to treating my body right soon! Thanks again :)

Christine is the real deal! I had sports injury on my right arm from lifting weights. For a long time, I tried acupuncture, massage, chiropractor, laser treatment and physical therapy, but the pain was still there. It would hurt when I lift anything and when I write. The burning sensation would never go away even when I dont do anything. When I heard Christine does sports massage, I signed up for a 90 minute session right away. From the first massage, not only was I relieved from the pain but it never came back! I did some of the exercises she gave me and it has been so helpful in my fitness and health journey. Im still seeing her on a monthly basis and she keeps me in tip top shape. Thank you Christine! Like I always said, youre my life savior!

I had a great experience at OC Athletic Massage. Christine was out of town so she arranged for me to have my massage with Amanda. I went in with a whole month of neck pain from overdoing it in yard work. Even though I had seen a chiropractor previously, it was Amanda’s massage that relieved the tightness in my neck and finally gave me relief. I am so thankful I came in! I had been dealing with this pain for so long and now I can move my neck freely. Amanda was so skilled and wonderful to work with—I highly recommend her!

Christine is far away one of the most professional and effective masseuses out there. My husband has been having tremendous shoulder pain from multiple shoulder surgeries and he has seen a ton of professionals. Nobody provided him the relief that Christine did. I would recommend her times 100

Review №33

Christine has a very organized, clean space. She’s an athlete herself so she understands the needs of other athletes and how to get the most out of each visit. Definitely recommend giving her spot a visit.

I dont know where to begin. This woman is amazing. Good sports massage is hard to find and requires a deep knowledge of many different disciplines at the same time. Christine is an athlete and she understands how athletes work, both from a mechanical and psychological standpoint. This combined with a serious commitment to continual training in different types of massage is what I think makes her stand out. She is also well over six feet tall which gives her ridiculously powerful leverage that I have not experienced with any other masseuse. Highly recommend!

I have spent literally thousands of dollars in seeing specialists, MRIs, Xrays, etc, over several years trying to fix an injury. I felt hopless and simply gave up. I thought I would just live the rest of my life with this injury and work around it. That is until I met Christine. After I explained my challenges, she knew exactly what to do, and after two sessions, my injury is healing because of her. You know there are just special people with true gifts that can heal you. You just have to find them and not give up. Christine is that type of healer. She is special and if you are reading this review, you are welcome to contact me for further reference, but I can, with 100% certainty, tell you to stop searching, and book a session with Christine.

Christine is so awesome! She is thorough and attentive and works with intention. She made sure to show me some stretches to do for specific problem areas I had, and worked with me to figure out which muscles were causing issues. She is also very kind and seems fully committed to helping people feel better so they can do the things theyd like to do. I felt wonderful afterwards!

Christine is excellent. She is very conscientious about explaining her particular style of massage. I found it very relaxing while also creating fresh bloodflow to areas of muscle fatigue. The location is easy access, clean space and very good value!

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.

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 Christines 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. Her, Highly recommended

Suffering from Achilles Tendonitis, Christine was an amazing help. When I arrived, I was limping and in so much pain; by the time I left, I was walking slow, but actually walking. The best part is she took to time to explain so much on how I should be treating my problem in the future. Nobody, including, doctors have given me this level of direction and hope. Thank you very much Christine

I’ve been to OC Athletic Massage many times now and the owner, Christine Ryan, treats me with the same incredible care and attention to detail during every visit. I sit at a desk for long hours most days and it takes a toll on my back. Christine’s years of experience are obvious - and my back has never felt better. I can’t thank Christine Ryan and OC Athletic Massage enough for the positive impact on my health and my life.

Christine is professional, easy to get along with, and extremely knowledgable. Her enthusiasm about sports fitness is contagious and she is more than willing to spend extra time to answer questions or show you a new technique.

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 on session, I think I need more session for my problem and definitely will with her. She also gave me some practice and moves for strengthening my muscles. I am satisfied 100%. Highly recommend.

OC Athletic Massage Rocks...I have lower back pain occasionally and when it reaches a point of intensity where it gets in the way of enjoying cycling then I set an appointment with Christine.She pinpoints the pain source and an hour later I am good to go. Nothing better than having a massage expert that is also an athlete who understands the needs of her customers.

2019-05-01 19:09:30

I have been to a ton of different physical therapists, athletic trainers, and masseuses and Christine is by far the best. She is a one stop shop and I would highly recommend her! Do not hesitate to give her a shot, you will not regret it.

I went to Christine with a banged up shoulder that was locked up and in pretty bad pain as well. Christine went above and beyond,and tried things that no one else had even brought up to me. By the end of the very first session she had not only returned an unbelievable amount of mobility back to my arm and shoulder but reduced the pain I was feeling as well. I could not possibly recommend her any higher!!!

I was in desperate need of relief from back and leg issues. I wasnt able to walk some days and within 2 sessions I was starting to feel like my ol self. I highly recommend Christine. Her hands work like magic! Im hooked!!

I really appreciate the customized care Christine can provide, because every client is different. She doesn’t just offer a massage, but tools and techniques for injury prevention that I still use almost every day.

I spent FIVE MONTHS in Kaiser-guided PT due to a hamstring strain but ended up in worse shape than when I first started, with pain worsening and soon extending to my lower back. I couldnt sit, stand, or walk comfortably, let alone jog or run. Frustrating doesnt describe my state of mind.*TWO DAYS* after my first session with Christine, I was able to jog without pain, and have been continuously improving ever since.

Really thrilled to have found Christine as I ramp up my training! I had a great experience on my first visit and look forward to coming back regularly. It was easy to park and enter the really great facility that Christine is a part of. Her massage room was relaxing and clean, and the massage was top notch - worked out the problem areas and made sure I got the most of my session. She took time to ask me about my training, injuries and other issues to note before we started.The great surprise was the awesome additional therapies that were available after my massage - Normatec boots, an infrared sauna and a cold plunge. Ill definitely make sure I have more time to stick around after my next appointment to make the most of these included amenities.A day later, my body feels like new! I am so stoked with the results!
