Bump

Typical pretty face masseur without massage training: the lone review in this chat thread confirms he's a typical M4M masseur with mediocre experience.

Only referring to his face pics.

Looks like he updated his MF profile with a new profile ID #: https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/46677/

I can vouch that the original photos he used in his profile were not his. The current ones are his.

Sucks you had to go through this but appreciate this feedback: it has saved me precious time and money to never hire him and I'm sure many other users on this forum will benefit from it as well.

His ad is pretty new and you can tell by his MF handle 47770. Based on his skillset description, I'm sure he'll be receiving more testimonials in the near future. I'm going to see him on my next Boston trip for sure.

It's his second time visiting dc in recent months. Anyone has any intel to share? https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/48117/ Unlike many traveling masseurs, he says he always travels with a massage table so I'm inclined to giving him a try.

YMMV provider

You're helping me save my precious time and money. Will pass on him.

Funny I came across their site earlier today and was wondering the same thing.

Your observation is correct. I recall seeing his profile with a different handle name but don't remember what it was.

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/
