Shawn Kinsella LMT, CA, PYT specializes in therapeutic sports massage and injury rehab at the Metta River Integrated wellness clinic. He has extensive experience working with  professional and amateur athletes from many different sports including triathletes, cyclists, and runners and has a deep  understanding of the injuries and patterns associated with these and many other sports. Working with athletic clubs such as Team in Training, Velo Club La Grange, and LA Tri Club providing pre and post event sports massage Shawn has touched and helped hundreds of athletes to succeed in competition and excel in their sport. 

An expert in scar tissue removal, exercise therapy, and whole body realignment Shawn will get you back to your training program as quickly as possible. You don't need to be injured to benefit from a sports massage. In fact receiving regular "tune ups" will not only help prevent injury, but improve athletic performance by leaps and bounds. The increase in circulation and  flexibility gained by removing old scar tissue and adhesions will change your life and your game.

Having been an athlete his entire life Shawn understands the demands physically and mentally in training and preparing for competition. He trained for over a decade in Muay Thai Kickboxing previously competing at an amateur level and has experience both in the ring and also as an assistant trainer and corner man with Van Nuys Muay Thai gym. Other sports that he plays in include (but aren't limited to) trail running, snowboarding, surfing, mountain biking, kayaking, and trekking. He has an understanding of the demands on the body and pitfalls when injury occurs that can only be learned through experience.
