"I was diagnosed with severe knee issues, and my doctor told me that surgery was highly likely if I wanted to walk properly again. My knees were in bad shape, but I really didn’t want surgery, so I started looking for alternatives. I found Flo and decided to work with her consistently, seeing her every two weeks for 6 months, doing full-body treatments. By the time I returned to my doctor for a reevaluation, I was pain-free and now longer needed surgery! I was able to start training at the gym again. Now, I can travel more comfortably and enjoy activities with my family that I hadn’t been able to do for quite some time. It’s been over a year since I last saw a doctor about my knees, and I feel like I finally have my life back." - Frack C.

I'm not one to leave reviews, but Flo at MuscleMendLA has made such a difference in my life, I'm making an exception. After having an MRI, CT-Scan and nerve study and seeing several doctors, some who recommended disk surgery for severe upper back pain, my wife suggested I try seeing Flo first. Life Changer! Each session has made a significant difference and now, two months later, I feel great! I cannot possibly recommend Flo enough. Thank you, Flo, for getting me back in the game. I will always be grateful. - Kyle K.

Flo is an expert and I cannot thank her enough. I started seeing her in April 2023 for sciatica. At that time, I was seeing a chiropractor weekly, doing physical therapy multiple times a week and getting massages every other week just to manage the pain. With Flo's care and encouragement to make small (sustainable) changes in my habits and diet, the sciatica pain and symptoms have subsided. This is now the longest period of time I've been free of pain. I'm going to continue seeing Flo for maintenance as I continue to embrace a more active lifestyle. - Mary G.B.

“I struggled with foot problems for years. Saw five different doctors, but nothing they prescribed worked. I was in constant pain. As a last resort, I started looking into body work and found Florence. So glad I invested into working with her. Within just a few sessions, I experienced incredible relief. I was walking taller and with more ease than I had in years. Now, after almost a year doing maintenance work with her, I rarely ever feel pain. Florence has completely transformed my feet and helped me get my routine back. I’m beyond grateful and can’t recommend her enough.”  - Peter J.

“I was recommended to Flo by my personal trainer when I could barely walk around the block. Her tough-love approach pushed me beyond what I thought I was capable of, and in just six months, I went from doubting myself to running my first marathon. Thanks to Flo’s therapy, I can now run up to 10 miles without stopping and have four marathons lined up for 2025. She’s given me a maintenance program that works, and I’m excited about my future as a runner.” - Jenny H.

“As a busy surgeon, the physical toll of my work left me in excruciating pain for years. When I met Flo, I was desperate. She suggested a three-month therapy plan, and trusting her turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The results were life-changing—I can now get through surgeries with minimal pain and still have energy for life afterward. Her therapy didn’t just relieve my pain; it gave me my life back. I’ve lost 15 pounds, started exercising again, and become a better doctor for my patients. Flo’s expertise transforms lives—she’s helped me thrive personally and professionally.”  - Mo P.

 “Flo is one of the few people in my life that I can, without a doubt, without fear, recommend to not only friends and family, but any body in need of help with pain, stress or muscle relief.  I started seeing Flo because of a Crossfit injury in my hip. After three sessions, was completely fixed.  I am extremely active and would not be able to maintain my lifestyle and my happiness in life without the kind of reparative work she does for me.  Both physically and emotionally, every time I see Flo, I come out feeling lighter, stronger, and ready to take on the world.”  -  Andrew W. 

"I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Flo - she has literally changed the way my body works, functions and feels.  Her intuitive sense of what my body needs and resulting approach to treatment has been profound.  Whether you are working thru a recent injury or a long term chronic issue you would be well served to see Flo! She is amazing!"  -  Seth C.

"I thought my next move was going to be surgery. But it’s not!  Thanks so much for helping me.  I was in constant pain and not able to walk for more than 5 mins.  In a short amount of time I am pain free.   I can now walk a whole lot further and getting better every week.  Thank you Flo."  ​- Janine K. 

 "OMGEEEEEE.  Flo is hands down the best massage I have ever had.  I have had neck and shoulder issues for years.  Not only did Flo work the issue out, she gave me tips for handling stress which makes it worse.  While the deep tissue massage can take your breath away, I haven’t felt this good in 10 years.  My teenager went to Flo after a back injury and begs me to book her once a week. Flo is friendly and professional.  Her office is clean and welcoming.  If you can get a regular appointment I highly recommend because once the secret is out, she will be hard to get into!"  - Leslie D.

 "My chiropractor recommended Flo, saying a lot of his patients with chronic problems and injuries had gotten great results from her treatments. I’m now one of them! I walked away from that first session feeling so much better. Flo knows body mechanics — in addition to her training, she’s an athlete herself — and she knows how to generate release. She’s also the most effective at cupping of any practitioner I’ve met. It’s a comfort knowing that if my body gets tweaked, Flo is there to get things back on track. Highly recommend."   - Laurie P. 

 "I am a massage queen! So naturally, I’ve been to a ton of body workers. I’m also very picky. The minute Flo laid her hands on me, I knew this was a woman who knew what she was doing. She knows how to get those stubborn kinks out. She’s very knowledgeable of the human body and truly cares about my well being. After I leave a session with her, my joints are more flexible, I feel lighter and there’s a pep in my step!"  - Juliette J.

“I came to Flo with a sports-related back injury and needed an expert resource who could lead me on a clear path to healing. Thanks to her proficient knowledge of musculoskeletal systems and ability to perfectly diagnose the issue, I healed quickly, with the comfort of knowing I was in good hands.”  - Sarah U. 

Muscle Mend LA has been a lifesaver. Everything from cupping to fascial stretching has kept me competitive in the gym and pain-free in my daily activities. I would highly recommend her to anyone.  - Stephanie K. 

I started seeing Flo to recover from an injury, but she is now part of my regular self-care routine. Many of my friends now use her too because she's professional and an expert at what she does. Thanks Flo!  - Dara M.
