Hi, I'm Jesse Anoraj, a Certified Massage Therapist and Neuromuscular Therapist with a California State Certification (CA #7723).


My journey began with Thai bodywork which led me to explore the field of massage therapy

then pursue Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) through the National Holistic Institute in Studio City, California. I earned my Advanced Neuromuscular Therapist and Health Educator title and diploma with honors after completing the 1250-hour program.


My profession involves using touch to facilitate physical and emotional healing in my clients. Massage therapy goes beyond physical well-being and communicates between the client, practitioner, and nervous system. Massage can alleviate physical and emotional discomfort by manipulating the fascia, tissue, muscular, nervous, meridian, and lymphatic systems.


As a Clinical Massage Therapist, I specialize in Trigger Points and Myofascial Pain, Thai/Shiatsu Massage, Sports & Stretching Massage, Cupping Therapy, Orthopedic Massage, and Customized Therapeutic Massage.


Soft tissue massage can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for the body's "rest and digest" response. This can decrease stress hormones like cortisol while increasing the production of feel-good hormones such as serotonin and dopamine. My hands-on treatment approach is a blend of Eastern Bodywork and Western Science. As a facilitator, I work with individuals seeking to improve their health, mind, and well-being. I aim to alleviate chronic muscle pain, release tension in specific areas, and improve flexibility and mobility. Using the Neuroscience of Massage Therapy, I provide personalized treatments to restore function, enhance sports performance, alleviate pain, and reduce or prevent physical restrictions resulting from repetitive sports injury or emotional trauma.

Myofascial Release

“Myo” means muscle, and “fascia” is a layer of wrapping around all muscles in the body. When your myofascia is injured or “stuck,” the body is out of balance. This techniques will help correct both new and long-term postural conditions, as well as issues with limited movement. I know how to assess the particular needs of this specific client – clients want a massage tailored especially for them! specifically designed to affect the relationship of the muscular and fascial structures comprised in the soft tissues, by increasing range of motion, improving posture, and/or aiding the rehabilitation process. This treatment is taught in conjunction with our anatomy series (Kinesiology), and is the practical application of information students have learned in anatomy classes. All of this work is a form of what is called “deep tissue” work.

Neuromuscular

I am Advanced Neuromuscular Massage Therapist and Health Educator From National Holistic Institute Neuromuscular Massage Therapy is highly effective treatment form of Deep Tissue Massage for pain relief and prevention to improve your Vitality & Movement. Effective Myofascial Trigger Point Release for Neck Pain, Stiff Neck. Pain Between Shoulder Blade, Chronic Pain, Stiff Shoulder, Back Pain Relieve, Shooting Pain ,Spasm, Muscle Pain Stiffness. Pinched Nerve. Deep Dull Pain. Nerve compression. Neuromuscular Technique requires extensive training and knowledge of the fascial, muscle, connective tissue system; nervous, skeletal and other major systems; and how they interact with one another. Although neuromuscular therapy therapists will vary in their approach to the technique, a neuromuscular therapy session will generally include the following components:

Sports Massage

The Clinical Sports Massage therapist is able to understand the biomechanics of activity and mechanisms of injury that would contribute to pain and dysfunction for the patient/client. Utilizing that knowledge, along with an advanced understanding of functional anatomy, assessment protocols, and soft tissue healing, the therapist is able to strategize bodywork best suited for their patient/client for both preventative and rehabilitative treatments. Though the title of “Clinical Sports Massage” may sound like every client is an athlete, the term is used to represent a focus on activity based injuries and pathologies. Clinical Sports Massage is not a singular modality. The practice encompasses a combination of advanced functional anatomy, kinesiology, and various types of stretching and soft tissue manipulation. Artisan Sports Massage Therapy includes Sports Massage Stroke Classic Firm Swedish Deep Pressure Release Myofascial Massage Release Active Release ( Pin & Stretch) Assisted & PNF Stretch You don't need to be a sports performer to benefit from Sports Massage Therapy. It’s beneficial to anyone looking to improve their range of motion, increase flexibility, relieve muscle aches caused by recurrent activity, and manage any pain associated with specific movements or sports.

Thai Massage

I am a Certified Advanced Practitioner and Teacher in Traditional Thai Massage from ITM School Thailand This traditional method combines elements of yoga, assisted stretching, compression, acupressure, stimulation of Sen energy lines, and meditation to provide a unique and powerful therapeutic experience. The work is performed in loose-fitting clothing. Practitioners may use their feet, knees, elbows, forearms, hands or fingers.

Trigger Point Therapy

the manual application of digital pressure release or long strokes release, most commonly applied through finger, thumb, or elbow contact targeting soft tissues. These digital contacts can have either an assessment or therapeutic objective, and the degree of pressure employed varies considerably between the therapist and the modes of application. It's a Non-invasive treatment for Myofascial Pain Syndrome and non-pharmacological therapy for Pain Management

Medical Massage

In order to collaborate with health professionals, an in-depth client assessment and a comprehensive strategy are necessary. I know the medical terminology needed for these interactions, and am proficient in the skills that are becoming essential to succeed, as healthcare fields integrate. I know how a detailed assessment protocol known as HOPRS (History, Observation, Palpation, Range of Motion testing, and Special tests). The thorough and methodical assessment provides the therapist insight and understanding of the patient/client medical history and how these factors have contributed to the “problem” being presented. Short term and long term goals for patient/client care and health are created in conjunction with other healthcare professionals as needed.

Deep tissue massage

Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that concentrates on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues in the body. The technique uses slow and firm strokes and deep pressure to target targets deep-seated tension areas and reach the sub-layer of muscles and fascia. This is achieved by using knuckles, fists, thumbs, fingers, or elbows to apply pressure on the muscles and connective tissue surrounding them. Muscles and connective tissue surrounding them.

Jesse is the best! We talked about my injury (herniated disc) and recovery goals and then he got to work. It was exactly what my body needed. Can’t recommend enough.

I have told friends that Jesse is a wizard. Two major issues (1 that spans 10 years) that he has managed to help me immensely with. I highly recommend.

Jesse is literally a miracle worker! I stumbled across him via a quick google search in desperate need to see a sports masseuse asap due to pulling a muscle from excessive indoor cycling - opted for the 90-minute session & he immediately located my injury / source of pain & intuitively knew exactly what to do the entire time. I felt more flexible / mobile in my pain region afterwards & was able to resume cycling again the day after. 10/10 would highly recommend & will be returning to see him the next time I’m in need. Thank you so much Jesse!! 🙏🏼

I’ve been dealing with issues that have plagued me for over 7 years and in 2 visits I am on my way to recovery! Jesse is really skilled! I’m pretty hard to please because I’m a bit of a perfectionist, but I’ve finally found the right person to help me get me back to life!

I highly recommend Jesse. It had a great experience. I felt so relaxed after the session. I wish the room was not that bright!

Jesse reveals deep muscle trauma to the body. i was really helped by this treatment and will continue to attend the therapy sessions. i highly recommend this body work to release the energy that is stuck and healing of any accident trauma. having fallen, i had difficulty walking, sitting and overall lethargy. After my 1st session I experienced released tightness deep inside my body.. Jesse has healing hands and knows the muscles that need assistance. i have tried acupuncture but this seems better for releasing body trauma. thank you for your help. i look forward to my continued sessions.

Jesse is very knowledgeable and patient when explaining his technique and how it will benefit my issues. His office is comfortable and I felt safe with him. He does not do typical massage, but is very aware of the skeltatal system and how your muscles and framwork function together. Carrie Byrnes
