Testimonials
The following are testimonials from clients who have experienced the deep, active muscle therapy that Ui Eli specializes in:
Ui has the gift of healing. It goes beyond her many many degrees, licenses, and certifications. She is nothing short of a miracle worker. After a grueling preparation for the 2004 Olympic Games in indoor volleyball, I developed a disc bulge and fragment in my low back. It was so severe it shut off my nerve function of my left leg, more or less paralyzing it. Top neuro surgeons wanted to cut, but I refused and chose alternative treatment. Ui worked with me religiously and I am now healthier than I've ever been. My career was saved and I am still allowed to live out my passion. I am blessed to be a part of Ui's passion for well being. To this day she is my "cure-all"

I wanted to let you know that I had my best finish in my bike race on Sunday, finishing 3rd in a field of 80+ riders. In addition to the hard training I have been doing all year, I would have to say that you played a part in my result for my final race of the season. As I told you I had done a road race the week before & trashed my legs. Both of my legs cramped at the end of the race. Coming to see you mid week was just what I needed. I could tell the difference in my legs throughout the warm up & race time. I only come to you a few times a year, but I may have to increase my frequency, if I continue to race.
Thanks again & see you soon.

"Every volleyball season I'm playing in a different country and the one thing I'm always looking forward to when I get back to the USA is Ui putting my body back together. She's kept me together and healthy for 4 years and counting...."

“I look for two major things when searching for a manual therapist – competency and touch. Ui Eli has a broad knowledge base that she can tap into at will to find solutions to any structural or neuromuscular issue. And from years of experience, she has developed an exceptionally fine sense of how to apply her craft. All her work is specialized to fit the clients’ needs and get to the source of their problem(s). For high level competitors or chronic pain sufferers, this specialization is essential for achieving results that last.”
Chris G. - VP of Zone Ready - A Human Performance Enhancement Company
“As a professional athlete, I rely on my body for competition. Ui Eli enables me to continually perform at peak levels. Her knowledge, techniques, and dedication set her apart from all other sports massage therapists.”
Heather L. - Professional Athlete (AVP)
“It never ceases to amaze us the dedication and passion Ui Eli has when it comes to Massage Therapy. She is contstantly looking how to better her techniques so that her clients reap the benefits by getting better. We would recommend Ui to all our friends.”
Aidee and Joe L. - IRON Taekwando, Temecula, CA
“As a pro beach volleyball player, I put my body through a lot of physically demanding workouts. Ui has been a life saver to me over the last few years. She is very intuitive in her practice, so I not only get a great sports massage, she literally keeps me together. She is the best and I go to her first with any aches and pains. She is phenomenal at what she does and I know I am in good, healing hands when I see her.”
Angie A. - Pro Beach Volleyball Player (AVP)
“Ui Eli has been helping us for 10 years to maintain muscle flexibility, break-down scar tissue from trauma and injury, and generally free our bodies from muscle pain. She is able to work in conjunction with chiropractic treatment, physical therapy, and post- orthopedic surgery, helping us to heal and resume normal and strenuous physical activity. Ui is able to spot a rib out of alignment or a tight muscle causing neck spasm before you yourself become aware of the muscle trauma. Ui can find the source of these traumatized areas and thereby prevent or forestall the re-occurrence of those painful conditions which limit our physical abilities.”
Karen and Noel - Redondo Beach, CA
"Preventative Medicine has been integrated into my training and I only do that in two ways, stretching and Ui. Her integrative body work eases the pain that I make my body suffer through when training so hard. It is the pain that I don’t even know I am causing to my body, like the knots that have evolved into boulders, the partially strained muscles, the tight hamstrings and IT Band. I try and see Ui every 2 weeks if I can when training hard ie….1-2 times per day/6-7 days a week. A session with Ui consists of a couple of hours of meditation while she sticks her elbow in my back. Some pain is good pain. This is really good pain. Daily activities like sitting, walking, and cooking are easier and by the next training session my body is back in shape. If you haven’t tried her services then you have no idea what difference it can make."

"Ui Eli has been my Massage Therapist since Spring of 2003. Since
I have two physically demanding careers (City of Long Beach Fire Fighter and
Professional Volleyball Player – AVP) Ui’s weekly treatments of
Massage Therapy have played a critical role in keeping my body healthy and
helping with recovery time after hard workouts. In June of 2003, I was injured
while working. I am extremely grateful for Ui’s massage treatments which
enabled me to work much sooner than my Orthopedist predicted. Ui’s experience
and knowledge have far exceeded those of other Massage Therapists I have worked
with in the past. Athletes of the 2004 Olympic Games will be very fortunate
to work with Ui."
Jen P. - Pro Beach Volleyball Player (AVP)
"I have had the opportunity to work with Ui Eli for the past several
years. In that time she has continued to impress me with her abilities and
knowledge in her field. In my 24 years of practice, I have never met and worked
with any soft tissue therapist that has the training and techniques that Ui
has. It is a joy and pleasure to recommend this capable woman for a post in
treating our best athletes in upcoming Games."
Dr. E. Cannon - Doctor of Chiropractics, CA
"I am testimony to Ui Eli’s skill and education in Massage Therapy. My experience with massage therapy and massage therapists is extensive. I am a professional beach volley ball player currently with the American Volleyball Association (AVP). I have also been an athlete all my life, including 5 years of collegiate basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Although I am relatively new to the beach circuit, I have undergone a new level of intensive level to get to the pro level. My workouts include plyometrics, lifting, sprinting, and technical workout, which is all very taxing to the body. I have been fortunate to have the hands of Ui Eli in my road to improvements. One such instance stands out in my mind, the night before a big match last year I was suffering from pain stemming from a previous injury. Ui worked on me that night and the next day I was not only able to compete in my matches but also managed to defeat my opponents. I cannot stress the level of knowledge that Ui has and how much the 2004 Olympic athletes will benefit by her joining the representing countries on their road to the gold."
Alicia Z, Pro Beach Volleyball Player (AVP)
"Ui Eli has worked on our patients for a variety of musculoskeletal
problems, ranging from stress reduction to range of motion/muscle potential
improvement to post-trauma rehabilitation. Her care, ability to communicate
and results has been consistently of a very high quality. She has worked on
me personally and achieved excellent results, especially with an old shoulder
injury."
Dr. R. Williams - Doctor of Chiropractics, WA
"Ui has straightened me out time and time again after I have messed myself up working fifteen hour days and sleeping in a moving bus for months at a time. I recommend her to anyone who wants to be healed rather than just going somewhere and paying for a glorified back rub."
Dan S. - Monitor Engineer, Fort Minor, Linkin Park, Kid Rock, System Of A Down, James Taylor, Staind, Korn
"My job is physically demanding and requires me to be able to respond at a moments notice. Ui's skills as a Massage Therapist have made the difference in my being able to stay in top form day after day."
Mike M. - Ocean Lifeguard
“ Ui has an enormous reservoir of experience that allows her to apply an interdisciplinary approach to your individual chronic problem or acute injury. If you want it fixed…. She is the perfect person to see!”
Jim W.
"I have a stress fracture in lower back from a childhood accident which periodically has given my back trouble. I started seeing UI over 10 years ago and haven't had any significant problems with it since then."
Paul N.
“Ui can really help. A very painful process, but you’ll love, love, love the results. No joke, even my teenage son asks to see Ui!”
