About
The Kneaded Experience Los Angeles (KELA) is a high-level, professional organization with a network of Certified Massage Therapists who take pride in offering quality on-site chair massage, based on Myofascial Release. We cater to individual personal needs and are attentive, perceptive, intuitive and respectful. We listen!
KELA was originally formed in 1994, making us one of Los Angeles's longest operating, On-Site Chair Massage organizations. You can rest assured that your needs are understood and will be addressed fully and completely in this highly-stressed world we live in.
The owner of the Kneaded Experience Los Angeles, Frances Nicolais, LMT, has been actively participating in the health and bodywork profession since 1993. She is a state certified Massage Therapist and Massage Therapy Instructor, teaching at the Hands on Healing Institute [www.gotohhi.org] since 1999. She is also the Director of Education at that school, supervising over 2000 CEU hours of continuing education classes and instructors. At the Hands on Healing Institute, Frances developed both the Focus on Fascia (Myofascial Release) track and the Chair Massage track, which is also based on Myofascial Release. She is the main instructor for these tracks, as well as the instructor for several self-care classes. Frances is also the owner and lead therapist at the Myofascial Release Center in Glendale (Montrose).
All the therapists contracted with the Kneaded Experience are highly qualified, certified massage therapists and have received additional chair massage training in Myofascial Release. If you are a Certified and Insured massage therapist with additional chair massage training, and would like to train to work with us, please contact The Kneaded Experience Los Angeles.
Most people who come for chair massage are looking for stress reduction, but almost always, have additional problems as listed below. With Myofascial Release, the therapists work with the body as a whole unit, often finding the source of the problem in a different area then the pain. We listen when people have reported getting hurt from chair massage. However, Myofascial Release in the massage chair is not painful, as it is a slower form of massage, that waits for the muscle tissue to soften, gently sinking deeper into the barrier, and finally releasing.
