Can anyone recommend a good massage therapist in the Encino or Santa Monica area?
My dad is recovering from surgery and is having a lot of muscle tightness as he is becoming more active.
Best massage therapist I ever had was Jason Chase at Healing Academy. http://healingacademy.net/about/

Once you get a few names to work with, check each for online reviews. Online reviews are often a load of BS, or they are real but get filtered out because a new user gave a glowing (or abysmal) review. Point is to just make sure there are no red flags.
Once you've weeded out any obvious rejects you can see if the providers have a website or Facebook page that will give you additional insight. But I have to tell you (as the web wench for a local massage therapist), I've done a fair amount of competitive research in this area and a lot of qualified massage therapists have terrible (or zero) online presence. So this last suggestion may just help you spot some indicators that the person isn't a good fit for your dad's situation.
