About
Certified at the Los Angeles Vocational Institute back in 2015, I learned that massage is as much about listening to the body as it is about technique. That foundation has carried me through nearly a decade of full-time work across the country — LA, New York, Boston, DC, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, and everywhere in between. But Los Angeles is home, and it's where I do my best work.
I work with all kinds of clients. Race, age, body type, orientation — none of that matters to me. What matters is that you walk in carrying tension or pain, and you walk out feeling lighter. I offer Swedish massage for pure relaxation, deep tissue for the knots that won't quit, or a blend of both depending on what your body needs that day. I also do stretching work, whether that's full body or focused on the area that's been giving you trouble.
My studio in Los Angeles is quiet and warm. The table is comfortable, the temperature is set for you, and the only thing on my mind during your session is your relief. I treat every client the same way — whether you're coming in with a specific problem or wanting whole-body attention, you get the same level of care and focus. Serving Los Angeles and surrounding areas both in-studio and mobile within a 10-mile radius, I'm available 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day. Text me to set something up. That's how my clients prefer it, and it works.

Testimonials
Rainer works in a spotless, inviting apartment setting and delivers one of the finest massages my partner and I have received. His technique is singular. He modulates pressure perfectly to heal while also calming the nervous system. We're strong advocates and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. You won't regret trying his work.
Rainer has mastered massage at a level that far exceeds what his competitors offer. The pressure he applies delivers real therapeutic benefit and deep healing. He remains fully present throughout the entire session, engaged and focused. It's difficult to express just how skilled he is. Give him a try and you'll see for yourself.
I usually forget to write reviews because I leave his sessions feeling so clear, relaxed, and even lightheaded. Rainer was outstanding and left me pain-free and stress-free with a wonderful sense of euphoria. He's soft-spoken and welcoming when you meet him but powerful and deliberate during the work itself. His hands and arms excel at blending deep pressure with soothing, sleep-inducing strokes. He was considerate, skilled, genuine, and easy to be around. His focus made it simple to fully surrender to relaxation. All his positive reviews exist for a reason. He's truly one of a kind.
I was able to get in on short notice after a long flight into LA, and Rainer gave me exactly what I needed — strong deep pressure massage in a professional, warm, and immaculate environment. I felt welcome and at ease throughout, and walked out feeling restored. I'm looking forward to returning.
Setting up an appointment was simple and quick — he answered every question promptly via text. I've had numerous massages in my life, and Rainer stands out as an exceptional bodyworker. His work was deeply therapeutic yet flowed with a graceful, almost choreographed quality. I'm eager to book my next session and might even reschedule before he leaves town on this visit.
Without question the best massage I've ever received. I've tried many therapists over the years, but none compare to him. I'm keeping him and won't be looking elsewhere.
Rainer's space is both comfortable and stylish, with a welcoming temperature and professional atmosphere. His technique was excellent and his stretching work was particularly valuable after my CrossFit session the day before. The whole experience felt deeply relaxing.

FAQ
How much does a 60-minute massage cost in Los Angeles?
A 60-minute studio session costs $180, and a mobile appointment (where I come to you within a 10-mile radius of Los Angeles) is $200. Both include the same level of attention and skill.
Does Rainer offer mobile massage in Los Angeles?
Yes, I offer mobile massage throughout Los Angeles and surrounding areas within a 10-mile radius. I bring my own massage table and create a calm space wherever you are. Mobile sessions are $200 for 60 minutes and $280 for 90 minutes.
What types of massage does Rainer offer?
I specialize in Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and a blend of both, depending on what your body needs. I also offer stretching work — full body or targeted to specific areas. Additional techniques include myofascial release, trigger point work, shiatsu, sports massage, reflexology, acupressure, polarity therapy, and lymphatic drainage.
Can I book a same-day massage appointment in Los Angeles?
Yes, I take same-day appointments depending on availability. The best way to reach me is by text — I respond quickly and can often fit you in. I'm available 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day.
What massage is best for deep tension and muscle knots?
Deep tissue massage is ideal for working through stubborn tension and knots. I vary the pressure to both heal and soothe, so you get therapeutic relief without feeling beaten up. Many clients also find that adding stretching work helps release tension that massage alone won't reach.
Do you have a studio space, or is it mobile only?
I have both. I maintain a professional, clean studio in Los Angeles where you can come to me, or I'll bring my table to you anywhere within 10 miles. Either way, you get the same focused, attentive work.
How long have you been practicing massage therapy?
I've been working full-time as a certified massage therapist since 2014 — nearly 10 years now. I completed my certification at the Los Angeles Vocational Institute and have built my practice across the entire country, but Los Angeles remains my base.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash and Venmo. For international clients or those who prefer email contact, you can reach out that way as well — just text first to set up the details.
