After 3 weeks of pain and loss of mobility due to a knot (or whatever it was) under my right scapula, I called Chris to schedule a massage. He was able to fit me in to his already tight schedule, which was amazing. He is very experienced and answered all my questions regarding other injuries (neck.) Most importantly, he worked on my back and gave me exercises that took my pain away in about a day. I highly recommend him!

Chris is a wizard! I’m recovering from multiple injuries and after every visit I feel SO much better, with less pain and more mobility! (Which is why I go back to see him every 2-3 weeks!) I enjoy working out often and he helps me “get back in the game” quickly. Lastly, since I work from home more often now and am forced to sit in a chair behind a desk for most of the day my body is a mess...his massages definitely help me relax and reset!

🔆Unlike traditional cupping, Functional Cupping combines negative pressure technology with movement science evidence-based principles in orthopedics and sports medicine. Although still using a cup, focus is on the efficiency of motion with fascial mobility and neuromuscular re-education. This modality is only taught to qualified health care providers.

🔆 @liveunbroken 3 weeks of Functional Cupping and today I had THE BEST training session with @get_ampd. I was just able work as hard as I possibly could without having to stop because of any pain or discomfort. Bring on the gains 🦵🏼. AMEN! Best day! 🥳.

My first session with Chris at @liveunbroken was amazing. I feel so much better but the best part of my experience was that he actually taught me what I can do on my own to help with pain and tightness in each of my focus areas. Check him out! **Dont swipe left if you’re squeamish 😈**

If I couldn’t workout and perform to the best of my ability my quality of life would instantly diminish. So grateful to have been a gymnast and crossfitter and have avoided any injuries. Taking the time to get bodywork done and identify any hidden issues gives me peace of mind. Thankfully I have someone knowledgeable and experienced taking care of me. Living unbroken for life. Let me know if you want me to connect you with Chris for any athletic level, this stuff is important, and who doesn’t love self care?

I started seeing Chris at Live Unbroken 4 years ago when I was competing in the bikini body building division. Now I see him because my body deserves the TLC! I like going for preventative purposes and I love that he’s more than just a “massage therapist”! He’s knowledgeable in so many different techniques such as Massage Therapy, Active Release Techniques, Myofascial Decompression (science based cupping - which I had done today for the first time and I already can tell a difference. My trap muscles aren’t as tight), Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization and MUCH more! I’ve personally had these things done at Live Unbroken a regular massage, a sports massage (the best massage ever by the way), deep tissue massage, cupping and ART! Something I particularly love is that Chris genuinely cares about each person that walks into his doors. He makes sure to understand your body, any prior injuries and if you have any areas you’re currently having problems with! I highly recommend checking him out!

This guy Chris? He is excellent. I texted Chris because I was having a worsening of my chronic sacral and mid-back pain. He had a last minute cancellation Sunday and I was able to fit in. Chris started out the session with a professional and thorough consultation where he analyzed my range of motion, positioning and mechanics. His knowledge of physiology, physical therapy and anatomy was impressive. I’m a medical provider and can vouch that he has excellent clinical acumen.

I love a deep therapeutic massage for pain relief and that’s exactly what I received. The pressure was firm and I felt amazing afterwards. 2 days later I was in no pain. Although personally I’m not too sensitive about people touching me... if you happen to be a woman who has never had a massage by a man before, Chris would be a safe choice. He was very professional and I know he would be conscious of any sensitive areas you have. 

I will be coming back again soon!

I learned about active release therapy through a friend and was referred to Chris at @liveunbroken. Chris has done an amazing job recovering my body from everything it's been through (and still going through)! It gives me peace of mind knowing I have someone experienced and knowledgeable taking care of me and there's no one else I trust more.

Taking time to take care of your body is SO SO SO important. Ever since I started seeing Chris, I've feel stronger and not so broken 😂 Thank you @liveunbroken for seeing me today during my short stay here in San Diego this weekend!

This is a reminder to schedule your self care in! Deep tissue plus red light is heavenly✨

There’s only 2 people I go to for body work. Today I saw @liveunbroken for some relief. Im not always the best at prioritizing body work but as I get older I’m realizing how important it is for not only my body but my overall well being.

Shout out to Chris for always getting me right. Thank you!!! Body feels better and my spirit feels lighter. ✨

Chris is, hands down, the best massage therapist I have ever been to! He has never canceled an appointment with me and even texts if other times come up to help get me in sooner. He has a very clean, well put together space that makes you feel comfortable right away. He is very professional from text and throughout the entire massage. He takes time to learn about you, what you’re needing work on and continues to ask throughout the session how pressure and comfort is. Chris has never sat and stared at a clock to finish our session at the end of the hour or rushed through the end of the session. He has helped me with deep tissue, cupping, ART therapy, relaxation, everything! Exceptional all around, I can’t say enough good things about Live Unbroken!

Just went to my first session today and Chris did wonders for my neck. The massage therapy helped so much with being able to bend my neck and my shoulder pain. He also spent a ton of time teaching me about what’s going on with my neck and shoulder along with exercises to help with my injuries. 100% recommend!

Self-care Sunday. I see Chris @liveunbroken religiously to help my body from all the stress and strains throughout the week. Resting and self care are so important. Take time to replenish your spirit, so you can serve from the overflow during the week.

I push my body to it’s limit daily, between work and exercise. So, once a week, I detach, slow down and take care of my body. You have one body. Treat it well. Your body is your sanctuary. Take care of it, nourish it and it will pay it forward for you.

Shoutout to Chris @liveunbroken

MOVE BETTER. FEEL BETTER. Whether you’re trying to recover from an injury or simply just move better, RECOVERY is an essential part in optimal performance. If you train hard, you need to recover hard, and I have the guy for you .. Chris @liveunbroken is hands down the best at ART and massage therapy in San Diego🙌🏽 Thank you @liveunbroken every time I walk out of a session with you I feel like a million bucks!


Take care of your body and it will take care of you🖤

Thank you @liveunbroken for helping to keep the pain in check without it getting any worse.

I’ve been searching for a new MT for the past year +/- since my other long-time MT moved to Washington. I had a few recommendations that just weren’t the best fit. 

Then I came across Chris with Live Unbroken - I had my first massage this past weekend and it exceeded all expectations. I felt completely at ease from the moment that I walked into his office. Chris is welcoming, demonstrates professionalism, he asked questions and listened to concerns. His massage touch was connected and firm yet soothing. Chris made an hour and half massage fly by so fast, and he ended my massage with cupping and Red-light Therapy. Definitely will be back again soon.

I went into Live Unbroken feeling pretty out of sorts. Christopher really cares about his clients and their needs to feel better. He is a body worker who really knows what he’s doing. My hips, shoulders, and neck were so tight and he was able to give me some relief. Immediately after our session I scheduled my next appointment because of how good I felt. This is so different from any massage, physical therapy, etc. ITS MORE! We did a lot of stretching with massage, cupping, red light therapy, etc. It was more than just going in for a massage. He really listens to his clients and works his magic. 10/10 recommend and I cannot wait for our next session.
— Emily D.
My massage experience was awesome with Chris! He came to my house and brought his whole set up, including a radio to play soothing music! The massage was extremely relaxing and the pressure was just right. I felt fully rejuvenated afterwards and I loved the convenience and relaxation factor of having him come to my house.

The knowledge behind the sport of bodybuilding is intriguing and not just bodybuilding but what the human body is capable of. This man right here Chris @liveunbroken has amazing knowledge. I know I'll be able to hit my best posing this Saturday on the @musclecontest stage because of his "Move Better. Feel Better." motto, THANK YOU! 🥇🗡💗👙🤗

Major shoutout to Chris with @liveunbroken for being a life saver and not letting me live with a broken body, for helping me go to the next level, for all the knowledge, and for letting me obnoxiously giggle during my whole brutal but amazing session⚒🤙🏽

If you’re an athlete or just someone with mobility issues your solution is with @liveunbroken
Unfortunately I have not taken care of my muscles as good as I should have been and have developed very stiff and sore hips along with other places in my body. This has held me back from hitting PRs, crippling my form and losing full mobility during my workouts. Chris is a very knowledgeable man who not only will target all of your issues but educate you on how to prevent these types of issues.
Annndd...who doesn’t love a deep tissue massage!

Chris is awesome. I have had a lot of massages and he is by far the most professional, respectful, and knowledgeable. He is so gifted. Chris has helped me to relax on those really tough days and has even helped me the day before my wedding. I love that he comes to my home. Once you have had a massage from Chris, you won’t want one from any one else.
— Shannon H.
After having a massage from Chris, I can’t imagine seeing anyone else. His in-home service is exceptional and I am so thankful that I don’t have to drive to and from my appointment. It is just so convenient, the last thing I want to do after a massage is get in my car and deal with traffic and have my stress and tension return. Being at home gives me the opportunity to just chill or take a nap after a long work day. Did I mention his massages are awesome! Thanks Chris for all you have done for me, you’re the best!
— Carrie S.
I have been a devoted and satisfied client of Chris Aquino of almost 5 years now. His expertise, knowledge and professionalism is extremely valuable and refreshing to me specially with the many spas and therapists around. He has helped me immensely with releasing stress and relieving pain with his deep massage therapy. I am a firm believer in investing in yourself and your health and I am blessed to have Chris as my massage therapist and friend to help me!
— Sandra S.
There is no one with hands like Chris’ ... They truly melt away stress! I get a massage from Chris 3-4 times a month and would do more if I could! I have tried several massage therapists up and down the West Coast and Chris is definitely my favorite! Thanks Chris for all your work!
— Gina J.
Being a fulltime working mother of two small children, my body aches all the time. After having my massage, I feel like a new person — completely rejuvenated. Chris has a great calm demeanor which always helps me to get into that “Zen” mode. I am a total day spa person but after experiencing New Body, I only go to Chris for my massages.
