I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Gronich for 2 years, and he has always been considerate to my patients, and attentive to details. I feel his great gift is to read between the lines of a situation and create solutions to problems before they ever occur. If you want a self-motivated person who does consistent work, then Ari is an excellent choice.

Aaron S. Ward, D.C., Chiropracter

You have helped me a lot in this past year with being healthy and by showing me how important it is to exercise. You have improved my golf game by 11 strokes and given me a desire to learn more about health. You are a good, knowledgeable and caring teacher. I am honored to have you as a teacher and as a friend.

Ari is not only one of the best sports and performance enhancement trainers in California, he is also a powerful and interesting presenter of workshops. His "Health and Performance Enhancement Workshop" was fun, very active and interactive, stimulating, and highly informative. He provides vital information for anyone interested in wellness and performance enhancement.

Evan Sarver, Massage Therapist and Hypnotherapist

Regarding your "Performance Enhancement Workshop," thank you for the knowledge and the nutritional information for better living.  Thank you for opening my mind to a greater understanding of the body and the issues that cause us such great pain or grief to the body. I learned far beyond what I was taught at Bryman College considering nutrition and health.  I also learned the difference between strength and power.

Chris Wheeler, Massage Therapist

Ari's "Health and Performance Enhancement Workshop" really helped me! I learned that most of my strength comes from proper breathing, and that health has more than one definition. Thank you!!!

Solomon Wilson, Teen Varsity Athelete

Ari's "Health and Performance Enhancement Workshop" can do a great job of teaching new connections in health and performance, no matter what the incoming bias of the participant may be.

Dean Hanley, The Ryan Group/IBI Data

Ari's "Health and Performance Enhancement Workshop" was a life-enhancement experience that made a great deal of difference for the health and wellness of myself as an individual, and of my family. My mind was expanded in knowing how my body mechanics work. I have new knowledge of my experiences in fitness that encourages me to keep moving.

This is a letter of recommendation for Mr. Ari Gronich. I know Ari personally and on a professional level. He has been providing back injury and stress management massage therapy for the last three months. During this time my back pain in my lower left side has been nearly completely eliminated, my trunk rotation has been greatly expanded, and I can turn my head to see out the rear window of my car for perhaps the first time in my life. With the improved rotation of my torso, I am now even a better golfer. Would you believe my last round improved by 12 strokes?

It’s been like a country song in reverse. My dog came back to life, my truck’s fenders are back, and my wife shot her lover and came back to me. What more could I ask for in a therapist?

I have had massage therapy off and on over the last 4 years, but have never had the substantial improvement and preventative-coaching Ari has delivered. His talents and knowledge are completely unique in the way he blends the various disciplines of massage, pressure and stretching to retrain my body, eliminating pain and preventing recurring injury. Through his efforts I am feeling the best physically that I have felt in many years.

I highly recommend Ari to work with and for you. His talent and knowledge will surely be a great help to you and your patients.

Dean Hanley, The Ryan Group/IBI Data

I am endorsing with full recommendation, Ari Gronich.

Within my 22 years of practice, I have never had anyone work with me who had the degree of talent and intuition, which both are duly required to complement the work of body management through therapeutic massage.

Many know well the rote techniques of working on the body, but it takes the talent in combination with intuition to be truly great, and that is what Ari exemplifies.

His work as a Martial Artist assists him greatly with his endeavors in this field.  He has strength and capability to perform those special maneuvers that the average therapist is totally incapable of doing.

His comprehensive approach is not "just massage," but rather an in-depth approach from many disciplines from the physical therapy acumen that rehabilitate the patient in a very efficient and close hands-on format, that has not been seen by me by other facilities that acknowledge their expertise with rehabilitation. Mr. Gronich's approach is totally unique and highly comprehensive; patients will respond much more effectively with this adjunctive intervention.
