The Massage Therapy Center

An oasis of relaxation near DTLA. The massage practitioners are skillful in Thai massage - expect them to step on and stretch you! Cash only and pay directly to your masseuse. I splurge and treat myself to a massage here several times a year.

Amazing customer service and overall fabulous experience. The masseuses are wonderful and I hope they are compensated accordingly. I came for a pre-bridal shower relaxation. I had a facial and my mom had a foot massage. Wish they had a larger waiting area that could put you in the zen-zone. But once you are through the doors to the massage rooms all is forgotten and the price is a bargain.

Deserving of its strong ratings. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Would recommend on quality of service and price. This place was amazing they were very accommodating on such short notice and gave one of the best massages I have ever had if i could give a 10/10 i would

This place deserves every bit of the 5 star rating it's been given. I was in town for a bachelor party and although I had a lot of fun that weekend, the massage was the highlight of my trip. I was lucky to be able to get their last opening on a Saturday and saw Sarah. I've had a few massages in the past, but hers blew every previous one out of the water. She was very receptive to my feedback, used the perfect amount of pressure, and was able to get to every area I wanted to be targeted within the hour. Thanks so much Sarah!

Truly the best spa I've ever been to. Amazing massage and the facility fantastic.

I'd recommend this service to anyone looking for a good massage.

Its the best place to get a nice compatible massage you always wonna go back

My friend brought me here for a surprise couples massage on my bday and we absolutely loved it! It was very clean and the staff was helpful and professional. He told me later that they ended up staying late to fit us in :) Would definitely come back for another massage!

Serendipity Wellness is my sanctuary to relax and recuperate my mind and body. Luz is an amazing massage therapist and I highly recommend her especially for Deep Tissue. She is not afraid of working out knots and trigger points. Best spa in town if your looking for tranquility and quality!

My job in the film industry has crazy long hours and beats up my body daily. Because of this, massage therapy has been a necessary part of my life for a long time. It's hard to find the right massage therapist in each location and I'm so happy I found Monica. I love that she can walk on me- it's the best relief I've found for sore muscles! It's deep pressure but not painful at all. She's friendly and pays close attention when I tell her what's bothering me. I'll definitely be going back!

Bought a deal online. Great value. Really good massage and the place is nicely decorated.

I have been seeing Sun almost weekly for several months and I recommend him very highly. He has helped immensely with my back and shoulder pain. He focuses on a therapeutic approach (instead of just a relaxing experience). And Sun knows how to find trouble spots and then work through them. If you have chronic shoulder pain from working at your computer all day (like I do), then I strongly suggest you book an appointment with Sun - the relief he provides will make you a regular.

Must try! Clean, relaxing establishment with serene feeling, dim lighting, delightful orchids and the scent of natural herbs at every turn. Too that off with the best massage I've ever had- this place is my new favorite. My husband was also in heaven after his treatment!

Lidea is the best masseuse. Her Pra-Kob is the best I've ever experienced and extremely relaxing. The stretching part of the massage does wonders.

Really enjoyed my experience. I'm no wordsmith, but I'd recommend this spot. From the welcoming at the front door till I walked out at the end I was satisfied with everything.

The people here are nice, and my masseuse was very polite and accommodating. You are placed in an individual room. The ambiance is nice, and very peaceful. They have a complimentary steam room and towels which was nice. However, they provide just another cookie cutter massage. If you need specific areas tended to or focused on, I wouldn’t come here.

Awesome first experience with Carly for colon hydrotherapy! Definitely will come again! Amanda is super helpful:)

Although it's in the center of a trendy area, it's very serene inside. The staff is friendly and professional and the service was superb.

The service is excellent. This business has been here for many years. Some of the facility could use a facelift. Most important though, the people do excellent work.

I went yesterday for the first time and I was very pleased. Parking was easy, the place is clean, and my massage was great. I had John and he did a great job on all my knots and afterwards showed me two stretches to do that could prevent my issues in the first place. I'd definitely recommend this place.

When I want a good massage, I go to Massage Therapy Center! They have talented masseuses, like James, that really listen to your needs. I have suffered from "rounded shoulder syndrome" all my life and getting a masseuse that really knows what they are doing, really helps my overall happiness.The staff is very friendly and I love the hot shoulder treatment you get while you are waiting!

I bought this on a living social deal and was very pleasantly surprised by the amazing massage I received! I was a little concerned initially because Massage Therapy Center is understaffed, but this in no way affected my massage. I asked for a deep tissue massage. usually I find that women typically don't go hard enough on my back, but she went above and beyond! On top of the wonderful deep tissue work, she also performed some deep stretching on my legs which was wonderful. My only minor issue was that since there appears to only be one person working here that the phone rang a few times. Despite this minor disturbance, the massage was great and the price was fantastic also. I will definitely return.

Don't let the exterior fool you. They have private rooms. It was little chilly so I asked for an extra blanket. The beds had memory foam, very comfy. I requested a 60 minute deep tissue (got more like 75) Amy was my therapist. She was very strong and was great at using leverage to really break up my tension. I have never had an "Asian" massage so was a little surprised when she used her knees. Thankfully I had read some Yelp reviews ahead of time. I will definitely be back next time I am near! $70 for 60 minutes.

I am so happy I found this Massage Therapy Center! I was in serious need of a deep tissue massage (I am a bodybuilder and it a lot of strain on my muscles) and this place 150% fit the bill. They were not only very helpful and fast at booking my appointment, but space and service are top notch. The space is clean and quiet, the whole place felt very inviting and relaxing. The service itself was spectacular. Most people know that a deep tissue is not the most comfortable experience, but I felt like my muscle really got worked and I was so relaxed I almost felt asleep on the table. Already booked my next appointment back and I can't wait.

I've had back pain my entire life.... I've also had a lot of massages. But I have had few (if any) massages that were as good as the one I had last Friday. Amanda (I think that's her name) is an incredible masseuse. I walked in with a headache & back pain so bad I thought I was going to throw up. I walked out feeling like an entirely different person! Can't wait to go back.

My first experience with Amanda left me feeling fantastic. I went back for a second time and it was nothing short of the same first experience. Yes, she even walked on my back and was able to rId of the chronic pain I have been experiencing for two weeks. I am now making a reservation for my third visit and trying to 90 minute massage. I have had many massages over the years, it has been a while since I light my experience as much as I have at this place. Now if I can find a way to bring that same massage to me, in my home, I would be ecstatic.

I have received many massages in my life and this was by far one of the best! I received a 90 minute deep tissue massage from Coco, and it was absolutely amazing. I suffer from a significant amount of pain and tension, especially in my upper back/shoulders, and Coco used deep pressure to slowly work away my tight knots. I also enjoyed the various stretches at the end of the massage. I will most definitely be back again and will request Coco!

Very cool, lovely, professional & memorable treat. Only wish they added a co-ed massage room for couples. Communal pool spa quite nice but wouldn't recommend it for privacy freaks. First visit was w/a bf, for his BDay--in separate rooms though. =( Ever since, been arranging gift certificates for family & friends on numerous occasions. Beware though, Valentine's, Mother's Day & Christmas can be high season for cashing in these blissful presents. Really awesome: phone accessible customer service & late night hours. Still have yet to check out their other locations.

If I had the money I would go every month! I loved my massause Glen, if you like it like deep tissue, he's the way to go... I love it when it feels all sore afterwards! I felt so relaxed and de-stressed. I love this place the most because of all the amenities and the cleanliness and the roominess. It's well kept.

I went here as part of a bridal shower itinerary and had the deep tissue massage. I've been to a lot of spas and this really wasn't the greatest, maybe b/c it's a franchise? It seems like anything that goes franchises ends up compromising quality. The pool jacuzzi was nice but the facility was fairly small. They had a separate room for the bath treatments and it looked fairly small also. My masseuse was nice but she kept talking to me which was kind of distracting from the relaxation part of the treatment. Since I only had one treatment I think I'll give Burke Williams another chance and go back someday. Overall I had fun b/c I went with a bunch of girls! :)

Ok, so I'm totally Asian frugal but as far as splurges go, this was definitely well worth it. Pointer - plan on spending more time at the spa before your massage since they have so many things to offer. Can't wait to go again.

Friendly staff up front. Sunshine did a great job on my facial. I'll definitely go back!

I always go and have a spa day for my birthday every year. I usually go to Glen Ivy, but being kind of chilly (I went in January) I decided to check out this place. It is very quiet, pretty/elegant, and it smells amazing! My massage was great and I LOVED their amenities! The Eucalyptus steam room was my favorite! It's a totally different facility than Glen Ivy (Glen Ivy is a little less private and can get obnoxiously crowded), but here it seems like it wouldn't be as bad. I am thinking I might come back here instead this coming year.

It's a lovely place to spend half a day. You can really spend 3-5 hours here. This is my go to for a relaxing day with my best friend. There are few places you can get the amenities and treatments like Massage Therapy Center. It's pricey but so worth it! My favorite spa in Los Angeles.

This review is for Julie- way overdue! I have had great massages, poor massages and in-between. I was hopeful but not too sure I could find a great masseuse at Burke Williams, but I did and that's why I'm happily a member. Julie doesn't just do a rote routine. She understands bodies, how they work and what they need. She deserves recognition for her amazing talents! Looking forward to next month after my half marathon and kudos to the ladies who keep the facilities clean and enjoyable and the front desk for making the overall experience smooth!

Anna at Massage Therapy Center in Los Angeles is great. She's helping me with hip and shoulder issues and gives the best massage I have ever had.

My friend and I went to Massage Therapy Center for the first time today and will definitely be back! We called ahead and made an appointment, which reduces an hour massage from $60 to $30! I've never had a shiatsu massage before, and although different, I'd definitely recommend for anyone suffering from tension or pain. Both girls were so incredibly sweet and caring. We're definitely coming back and you should too!

I've been few massage places but this is the best place I ever been! The place is quiet, relaxing, and clean! Massage Therapy Center is the person who did my massage was awesome, she always make sure I'm doing ok during the massage and her skills was pretty good! I supposed book one hour massage but I end with the 90mins lol. Definitely will go back again!

Had an amazing Massage Therapy Center massage with julia. She is super knowledgeable and friendly. Also an Amazing pedicure with Molly who was also extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The concierge was wonderful and decent amenities. I think I like the layout of the spa part at the Mission Viejo Location better.

First time coming here and it's the best massage I've had in a long time (= . Very friendly staff yuki was amazing . I appreciated that she asked me if there was an area that she should focus on or if I had any particular pain somewhere. I will definitely be coming back and definitely recommend it. it's hard to find but it's so worth it.

Very very satisfied! I had an hour massage somewhere else 2weeks ago ($100) but still in pain my neck and shoulder area. I was not sure if they were really good in that price. In doubt, I decided to try and hallelujah!! The atmosphere was definitely relaxing and quite. The masseuse Knew exactly where to focus and how much tension she needed to use just by touching my knots. She always made sure if I was feeling ok the entire session. Felt very very relaxed and an hour just passed like an arrow. Definitely coming back for another massage and thank you very very much Anna!

I loooove this place. It's such a hidden gem. They prices are very cheap for the quality of service. They're great with acupressure. They know how to get rid of all the knots. I've been there twice and would continue to go back as my go to massage parlor.

Definitely the best massage that I have ever had. I recommend Anna. Very tranquil environment and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Aestheticism Julia does an excellent job also. I would highly recommend this place!!!!

Skilled practitioners and a beautiful, clean facility. My new favorite.

Hot stone massage is great.

Love Grace for massage and Bridget for facials outstanding

Wonderful place . I have been going for years. Grace gives awesome massages. She applies pressure and makes sure it's not too much or two little. I float home. Brigitte is wonderful for facials. There is a steam room and showers the place is immaculate and all staff very friendly and helpful.

This is a really good place to go. You have to get a massage with Grace. She's the best!

Love this place. Atmosphere is very zen. The masseuses are very knowledgeable and professional. Love the sauna and music.

The customer service is outstanding! The amenities are great..lockers, shower, and steam room, for example. The environment is very calming. I really enjoyed my visit.

Caring people in a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.

Fantastic massages and facilities. Locker room is small but relaxing. Liz is amazing.

A gem of a place, the steam room pushes this over the engr for me---just love coming in early to get a great sweat on before a lux shower and then the best massages ever! I highly suggest Deb off you need a really deep tissue massage and Chris is also super at deep massage and a very kind man too:). Frankly I've never had a bad massage here. Definitely join the monthly club for a great price!

Really enjoyed the massage. They were so friendly, and worth the extra money for the massage compared to some. You get tonuse their steam room, which is great and have a wide range of cosmetics to get yourself ready after.

Been coming here for nearly 20 years. Open late. Open seven days a week. Always able to accommodate me. They have Masseuses and Masseurs with almost any style you want.

Massage Therapy Center is an ideal spot for pampering and serious massage. Sophia provides a perfect massage. She addresses points of stress and works through knots to alleviate any tightness or kinks. She also allows you to enjoy the experience, even when she applies deep pressure. She is knowledgeable and capable. The spa itself provides a great sauna, showering facilities and well-stocked dressing area. I recommend Massage Therapy Center and Sophia with enthusiasm.

This is the best place to get a massage. No fluff. Not a lot of frills, just down right work those knots out of your back excellent massage stuff. The people who work here are nice and friendly. It's a calm environment. The locker room is small, but always well stocked and clean. I love how the plush shower towels smell. I've had massages at spas in big cities all over the U.S. I think this place is one of the best, and I always try to go back for one here when I am in L.A.

This is a spectacular place to get a massage or any spa treatment! I had Don give me my massage and he knew all the major pressure points. Well worth the $90/hour massage. They have a scented steam room in their locker rooms that you can use at any time during the day of your appointment. That was the cherry on top. The locker rooms are full of amenities including hair blow dryer, towels, bathrobe etc... The one complaint is parking in the garage- it's stressful to get in and out of because of the crowds. Not to mention they only validate for free for up to two hours so you can't really spend all day in that fabulous spa room. I recommend street parking if you can find it!

Nice Spa, nice services and they provide all that we are expecting from a good spa. Highly recommended. ( and I am not easy, lol!)

I love this place! I signed up for their text message club and instantly received a $35 off coupon for any service over $100. I immediately booked a 70-min hot stone massage. Grace did a great job ... she really worked though my kinks and drained out toxins, though keeping it a relaxing and calming experience. My only complaints was that the loud sound of the rocks coming in and out of the boiling water was a bit distracting. Facilities were very clean, staff was friendly and professional and prices were reasonable - will definitely be back!

I had a surfing injury last year that nearly left me paralyzed. After I started healing I was left with a lot of pain. A friend gave me a gift certificate to get a massage by The Massage Therapy Center and it really helped in my pain management. Now I try and get her therapeutic massage every week, but sometimes it works out to a couple times per month and I am feeling better than ever.
