I came to Jivan for the first time after running 75 miles for some post race recovery. I left the session feeling way better than when I first arrived and I noticed the difference in my body the following days. Jivan is dedicated and great with the service and knowledge he provides.

Jivan is outstanding at what he does and knows exactly how to tailor the massage based on how I feel on the day. I have been visiting him every couple of months for the past year and I highly recommend him. He has a great energy and I always feel better after seeing him. He allows me to perform at my best as an athlete and he’s my go to guy for recovery.

Wicked plantar fasciitis 80% gone after one session! Jivan is pleasant to deal with and a master at inflicting pain...the good kind. If you want to get to work, this is the place.

Jivan is wonderful. I came in 16 years post traumatic ankle surgery with limited movement and maximum pain in my back, legs and shoulders. After moving here to Escondido, I wanted to become more active and focus on my health, which means being able to move, pain free. I am hiking and getting active again thanks to…

I’ve struggled with some pretty serious neck and shoulder discomfort for over a year, and thankfully, I crossed paths with Jivan.

After moving here to Escondido, I wanted to become more active and focus on my health, which means being able to move, pain free. I am hiking and getting active again thanks to his techniques over the last few months.

Review from Google · view on GoogleJivan is absolutely AMAZING! He was able to assess my leg pain within minutes, manipulate the muscle that was causing my pain, and give me "homework" so I could work on it on my own later. Honestly, I came in to his office walking with a limp and left with an almost normal stride again. I'm so grateful to have found a skilled practitioner who truly understands the biomechanics of the human body.
