dctraveler

He's been around for a while and I recall his previous RM handle was something like "thiagot" from his previous dc visits over past few years. Couldn't find anything in the forum's search.

Saw Johnny today. B- massage and a nice one time experience.

He's visiting dc this weekend.

Name changer. There's def a thread or two on him in this forum.

I'm glad to see that you will consider seeing a medical professional to get your upper body checked out: the last thing you want is to potentially learn that the pain may end up causing further damage to your body, no matter how "delicate" you feel your body might be. A professionally trained massage therapist 1) asks you for your desired kneading pressure and technique at beginning of the session, and 2) checks in with you at least couple or more times during the session to see how the pressure and overall massage is feeling on you and your body: I get the sense that he didn't do either with you. Also don't forget that you should not hesitate to tell a masseur that the pressure is way too much or if anything else is bothering you. They will stop to listen to you and address it before proceeding with rest of the session. In case you were not aware of his massagefinder profile, he mentions that he works full time in construction. I am pretty sure he offers an extreme deep tissue kneading to his clients thinking that every one of them would want & need the type of deep pressure kneading that someone like him working full time in construction industry would. Without a proper training and certification from a massage school/institute, he has no business charging the rate he does.

You may want to go see a physical therapist or chiropractor to get your back and neck checked if it's been bothering you for that long. Massage is supposed to do exactly the opposite: relax muscles and tissues, not hurt them. I noticed his ad too but haven't seen him as he's not my cup of tea. Your observation of him not being formally trained is most likely true as he doesn't list his massage school education on his massagefinder profile: https://www.massagefinder.com/massage-therapists/47307/ And if you paid his hourly rate of $180 listed there, it's quite high for someone not trained TBH and with minimal interaction.

Bump he's in DC now.

I also don't care for the listing by a city. You cannot proceed to additional pages of masseurs on the new version. There is a button at bottom of the page that allows you to view with the previous version so I have been doing that.

I'll DM you shortly with a masseur rec I received from another user.

Adding him to my favs!

You're welcome!

Anyone seen this cute masseur? https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/49112/

You're welcome and happy to help.

They have their individual profiles on RM and MF and both have existing chat threads on this forum. Shouldn't be that difficult to locate their profile pages and do a search using their profile handle.

Is it time for someone to have his eye exam done? 😉 Aside from the obvious from both photos, you get the same contact # from both MF and RM profiles.

Don't know why I didn't catch onto this sooner but he's the same blue eyed beauty on MF and there's an existing thread on this forum with his MF profile: https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/35493/ Too bad he's quite far away from Atlanta as I will be there in mid-November and won't get to make a trip to Brunswick before my trip ends. I'll need to make a separate trip to Brunswick in the near future to get on his table.

Bump. He's in dc now.

He provides one of the worst massages IMO. Then he kept texting me to ask for additional appointment booking and I had to remind him that I refuse to rebook with an incompetent masseur like him. He had to be reminded of that message couple of times before he stopped texting me for booking solicitation. Complete waste of time and money.

Bump. He's in DC now.

Your feedback is helpful: I will avoid him. This forum is so amazing because of users like you who provide their feedback and help other users decide on whether to hire a masseur or not.

Profile name changer. Been discussed previously: https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/153364-411-ricktherapist-nyc/#comment-2320727 and https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/147513-rick_fit-philly/#comment-2223265

Newbie masseur and will be visiting DC soon. Anyone had the pleasure? https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/48797/

He's a name changer. Previous thread on him here: https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/142541-billy-visiting-dc/#comment-2125686

Just saw the thread. Sounds like a complete disaster.

I met with another masseur few months ago that was using a model's photos, and got the feeling that this profile photo is likely the same scenario. Long story short, did some searching and am pretty certain this provider is using someone else's photos. DM me if you'd like to hear more.
