About Medical Massage Clinic

Erin Alessandro

Let me introduce myself. My name is Erin Alessandro and I am a Holistic Health Practitioner, certified in California since 2015. The Medical Massage Clinic was founded in 2016 with a strong focus on medical massage in mind. I believe massage therapy has a very bad reputation in the US and I am trying to educate and better lives, one person at a time. Massage is so much more than mere relaxation and enhanced circulation. Many people experiencing pain symptoms don't realize that there can be a direct connection to muscle health, which can best be alleviated through medical massage. I also have a nursing degree from Germany, which adds to my medical background and knowledge.

Over the last seven years, I also specialized in helping with lower and upper back pain, tendinitis, fibromyalgia and much more. I focus on finding and helping eliminate the cause of the pain, and then the pain symptom will be more manageable long-term.

Client knowledge and self help are important to me and each client gets a comprehensive, individualized treatment and homecare plan. My motto is to release clients out of my care, feeling much better, and have them refer five friends.
