Relax. Restore. Refresh. In a fast-paced world, taking care of our physical and mental well-being is crucial. That's where Eric Smith, the owner of MASSAGESMITH, comes in. With his expertise in massage therapy, Eric has been providing top-notch care to his clients since 2014. He and his team of six massage therapists have you covered from head to toe.

 

“I love helping people,” says Eric. “I’ve been doing this since I moved here from Memphis in 2014. I love being involved in the South Bay area and working with repeat clients.”

 

Prior to massage, Eric worked in commercial sales. However, his passion for helping people heal themselves and thrive led him to pursue a career in massage therapy at the suggestion of his wife. After graduating from the National Holistic Institute in 2014, one of the top schools in California, Eric honed his skills and developed a deep understanding of the body's tension points and how to alleviate them.

 

From deep tissue and Swedish massages to sports therapy and reflexology, MASSAGESMITH offers a variety of massage techniques to suit your specific needs. Whether you're looking for a deep, intense massage or a gentle and relaxing experience, Eric and his team have the skills and knowledge to provide customized therapy that caters to your preferences.

 

In addition to traditional massage therapies, Eric incorporates innovative approaches such as Hypervolt deep tissue release, PNF stretches, cupping, hot stone massages, prenatal massages, aromatherapy, and even CBD-infused treatments.

 

Massage reduces body aches, provides pain relief, and reduces stress. “Massage also improves circulation, energy and alertness,” he adds. Not to mention improving range of motion, helps headaches and migraines, reduces heart rate and blood pressure, and also improves the immune system. Enjoy a 30-minute, 90-minute, or a 2-hour massage. Or experience a tandem massage, a four-handed massage that does not disappoint.

 

Offering both office and mobile massage services, MASSAGESMITH caters to individuals, groups, and even corporate clients. With two offices conveniently located in Torrance and the ability to travel within a 15-mile radius, Eric ensures that his services are accessible to a wide range of clients.

 

“I specialize in post-surgery and post-injury recovery,” he says. “I also do medical massage and work with chiropractors and VA hospitals.”

 

 

One area where Eric and his team excel is in corporate wellness programs. MASSAGESMITH focuses on providing chair massages and other wellness services to companies, helping to reduce employee stress and improve overall well-being. With options for one-time sessions or ongoing contracts, these programs can be tailored to fit the unique needs of each organization, resulting in happier, healthier, and more productive employees.

 

Corporate wellness programs include chair massages, which reduce stress and tension in the workplace. These sessions focus on the neck, shoulders, back, and arms, targeting common areas of tension caused by sitting for prolonged periods or engaging in repetitive tasks. Also, programs can be designed with nutritionist consultations, personal training sessions, yoga classes, and even CPR instruction on-site. By addressing different aspects of employee well-being, these programs promote a holistic approach to health and wellness.

 

“Corporate wellness programs can also help employers save with their health insurance costs,” points out Eric. With flexible options, employers can design a program that aligns with their goals and budget.

 

 

Beyond his commitment to individual and corporate clients, Eric is deeply involved in the community. He actively participates in events such as Music by the Sea at Saint Pedro, where he offers massages, promotes his products, and takes orders. His dedication to helping others extends to his involvement with organizations like Rotary International and his role as an ambassador for the Torrance Chamber of Commerce.

 

 

When choosing a massage therapist, Eric stresses that it’s important to consider their qualifications and certifications. Eric is a certified massage therapist, registered with the California Massage Therapy Council and holds a certification from the American Massage Therapy Association. Additionally, he carries a million dollars in liability insurance for his practice, ensuring that his clients are in safe hands. Interestingly, not all massage therapists are certified.

 

MASSAGESMITH recently celebrated its ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the opening of its own office space. Eric couldn’t be happier about that.

 

When not working, it’s all about family time for Eric. “I’m married and have two kids and three grandchildren,” he smiles. Quality time with his family is always well spent.
