MetaTouch Therapeutic Massage and Wellness Center is getting to the core of what’s ailing Los Angeles. Whether it’s behind the scenes of the next blockbuster, in the company conference room, or at the MetaTouch wellness center, the MetaTouch goal-oriented treatment philosophy targets the source and symptoms of pain to effectively heal the whole body.

Founded in 1996 by licensed massage therapist Holden Zalma, a former athletic trainer at the University of Southern California, the MetaTouch Therapeutic Massage and Wellness Center was created to change the way people think about massage and health care.  Holden’s treatment philosophy – addressing the root cause of physical and medical problems, not just the symptoms – creates relief more quickly and with longer lasting results than traditional methods like physical therapy and chiropractic care.

Through a signature four-stage treatment process, MetaTouch practitioners are trained to relieve pain and return clients’ bodies back to peak performance, treating the body as a whole instead of individual parts. By using a combination of massage, mobilization, stretching and exercise techniques, as well acupuncture, MetaTouch therapists work to resolve pain, increase performance and help prevent future injuries. Whether the treatment is ten minutes or two hours, to treat an existing injury or for health prevention, MetaTouch’s goal-oriented treatments are custom-tailored to each individual to identify and correct core problems.

MetaTouch has been working within the entertainment industry since its inception, and in addition to Sony and Paramount, have provided their services – a massage at the end of the day to incentivize staffers or a weekly treatment for an injured star – to commercial production companies such as Mad Films, Epoch, Zoic, and MJZ, as well as to individual motion pictures, daily television, and pre and post production houses.  

In the workplace, MetaTouch can do more for employees than offer relaxation and a sign-on perk –treatments can improve health, morale and overall productivity, as well as help prevent and treat the beginning stages of Carpal-Tunnel syndrome, low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, and many other work-related conditions that can lead to lost days at work if not treated or prevented. MetaTouch offers on-site ergonomics consultations, stress management training, self-massage and nutritional education, yoga breathing, stretching exercises, and more, and is a favorite among companies and office settings in Southern California, such as AT&T, KIA Motors, Shopzilla.com, and Culver City High School.
