LA Bodywork Brings Elite Recovery at the 7th Annual Anthony Anderson Celebrity Golf Classic in Palm Desert

PALM DESERT, CA — Under the skies of the Coachella Valley, LA Bodywork proudly returned for the third year to support players at the 7th Annual Anthony Anderson Celebrity Golf Classic, held at the prestigious Big Horn Golf Club on May 18–19, 2025. Hosted by the Anderson Family Foundation, the weekend tournament brought together an all-star cast of athletes, entertainers, and wellness experts—all playing for a purpose.

Elite Recovery on the Fairway

Whether they were first to tee off or swinging at sunset, celebrity golfers turned to LisaMarie Arreguin and the LA Bodywork team for relief and recovery between holes. Known for their sports-specific bodywork, LA Bodywork brought hands-on care to the course, addressing everything from shoulder stiffness to low back tightness.

“Even a perfect swing can take a toll on the body,” said LisaMarie. “We’re here to help these athletes recover fast so they can keep performing their best—all while supporting an incredible cause.”

Achedaway: Power in Your Hands

This year, LA Bodywork also introduced Achedaway devices into their on-site recovery sessions. These high-powered percussion massagers helped players quickly release muscle tension and boost circulation—perfect for pre-round prep and post-game relief.

Not only were Achedaway tools a favorite among guests, but they were also part of a special on-site giveaway. One lucky attendee, @funky, won an Achedaway device by sinking 3 putts in a row—proving recovery doesn’t have to wait for the clubhouse!

Rollga SoCal: Recovery Beyond the Greens

Rollga SoCal also made its mark on the green this year—literally and figuratively. Among the many fans were Misa and Maiya Tanaka, twin golfers and rising stars who not only made some impressive putts during the tournament but also fell in love with the Rollga rollers.

“They were naturals with the Rollga,” said LisaMarie. “They immediately felt the difference it made in their calves, hips, and lower back—and they were all smiles after using it. That’s exactly why we bring tools like this to events: to empower athletes to take care of themselves.”

LisaMarie: Connector, Marketer, Wellness Pro

Beyond bodywork, LisaMarie brings a strong sense for business to every event. As an ambitious entrepreneur and natural connector, she builds strategic bridges between wellness brands and high-visibility events like this one. Recovery-related companies like Achedaway, Rollga, and more donate products for giveaways and raffles—and in return, LisaMarie delivers authentic on-site exposure and social media marketing support.
