MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Hey, My Name is Luis Arroyo
My goal is to work with you to free your body of the holding patterns that are causing you to feel pain, tension, fatigue, and stress.
My journey into bodywork started after struggling with carpal tunnel syndrome after many years of working 50+ hours a week at my desk job. I learned that the symptoms were a result of repetitive motion, in my case from extensive work on a computer using the mouse and the 10 key. I wore a wrist brace, tennis elbow brace, taped my ring and pinkie fingers together and covered my arm with pain relief ointments. The usual physical therapy treatments and exercises resulted in minimal improvement.
Like most people who are battling with chronic pain and discomfort, I figured I had to accept the fact that it was something I would have to deal with forever. Then one Sunday afternoon I received some trigger point work during a massage treatment. After the treatment, I felt an immediate change. I received another treatment about 2 weeks later and felt even more relief. I suddenly saw manual bodywork from a different perspective. 4 months later I was enrolled at Mueller College. In 2014 I received my California Massage Therapist Certification.
For now, I’m excited to be a part of the new and improved you. Please contact me so we can talk about how Structural Integration can help you be comfortable in your body again!
Early on as a therapist I found myself working on people with all sorts of chronic issues. The most common symptoms were back pain, neck and shoulder pain and difficulty recovering from previous injuries. I was soon recognized as a pain relief specialist.
The trigger point work and sports massage techniques were yielding noticeable improvements in the majority of my clients. Although clients were feeling better and moving better, I noticed that after a few weeks symptoms reappeared for some clients. Some were mild and some were moderate. I knew there had to be a different way to work on the body that would produce much longer lasting and more effective changes. Something that addressed the root of the problem and not just the symptom. I found it in Structural Integration. In 2016 I enrolled at New School of Structural Integration. It is and will forever be the most significant decision of my career and my life. I can genuinely say it was an EPIC decision.
I’ve learned from 3 masters of their trade who studied with a distinguished first generation Rolfer named Joseph Heller, the first president of the Rolf Institute. Between the 3, they have performed over 20,000 Structural Integration sessions and trained and mentored hundreds of professional bodyworkers from coast to coast. They have enhanced my life dramatically by sharing their vast experience, knowledge and love of the profession. I am excited to follow the path they have cleared and I want to share Structural Integration as a practitioner, mentor and instructor with those who chose to learn about or experience the wonders of this trade.

From our Patients
Louie was absolutely phenomenal! His bio online really made me feel interested in learning about what he does and what was possible for me. From the moment I spoke to him on the phone, he made me feel very comfortable and I could tell that he really cared about my emotional and physical well-being. Upon meeting Louie, my impression was that he was a stellar guy who truly cared about helping me to feel my best in my body. We talked through a lot of emotional patterns as well as physical patterns and I learned about what I needed to do to make myself feel better. He shows you how to breathe properly and how to release that last bit that you’re holding onto in your body and it makes a physical difference! I had such an amazing time and it was way more healing than a therapy session and a massage combined. It was something completely different where you’re not just putting a Band-Aid on your discomfort or pain but actually getting to the root of the issue and working through it. Over the course of the next few days, I have felt absolutely great! The best I’ve felt in a very long time! I intend to come back and I hope to spread the news so that others can enjoy the benefits that Louie can provide as well!

I had never experienced anything like Structural Integration before. I would describe it as a cross between physical therapy and deep tissue massage. It is not a one hour fix. It is a systematic approach of realigning the entire body to work together and in harmony. It is a process and takes time, but it is well worth it as the results are long lasting. After the first session, I felt lighter and was very pleased with the results. About a week later I was rear ended at high speed, which totaled my car, gave me a concussion and set me back quite a bit. I continued my sessions with Louie and have little by little, gained back what I had lost in mobility. I am very tall and up until a few weeks ago, continued to experience a lot of muscle fatigue which made it very uncomfortable for me to stand without leaning against a wall (or whatever I was standing next to) for support. I did not feel comfortable supporting my own frame. After my last session, Louie somehow realigned my upper torso to be in balance with my legs, so I can now stand for an extended periods of time without leaning on anything for support. It is the first time I have felt comfortable in my body. Thank you Louie, for working with me and listening to my symptoms. If you are not satisfied with the short term results of traditional massage, give Structural Integration a try, it works!

Louie at PainStop Therapy is awesome!! He was the one to finally be able to help me with issues I was having with my hips and lower back after 10 months of physical therapy elsewhere and only seeing off and on results and still being in chronic pain. After only 3 visits with Louie, my sciatica is gone and now, my hip and back pain is pretty much nonexistent. I’m grateful to be able to walk again and not be in pain. I highly recommend Louie and PainStop Therapy.

There is a distinct difference between getting a massage, and the body work done by Louie at PainStop Therapy. Louie helped me better understand what a past injury has done to my body, how I am moving differently, and how I can correct how my body responds to that injury and the pain I am experiencing. Instead of just rubbing the pain away temporarily, Louie gave me knowledge on how to focus on being more consciously aware of my body, and what I can do to help it move properly and pain free.
