And this is why I view posts from users who are barely active on here with a grain of salt. 
 

You went from “maybe he had an off night” to “I didn’t like his technique.” Each statement implies different things about your experience, especially when presented separately. Didn’t like his technique? t. Why? You can be more specific without giving a detailed review

All this to say, if you had a bad experience, fine. But no poster should be surprised when a generalization is challenged, especially regarding a well reviewed therapist. If Alex had an “off night” I want to know why so I can make an informed decision about hiring him. 

It's really not that serious. I'm free to give my opinions here - isn't that the point of this forum? Feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt, it doesn't affect me either way. 

Now, if you want to get back on topic andask me who I'd recommend instead, I'd be happy to answer.

Can you list those top 20? Not being sarcastic.  Seriously. Would like to know who you recommend. 

Absolutely, with the caveat that I'm not interested in "extras" so I can't really speak to that with any of them - will message you directly.

These accounts with low reputation suddenly giving negative reviews one after another about me are highly suspect. 

 

I always ask each and every client during and/or at the end of each and every session how they feel about the experience, and so far, 99.9% left happy or very happy. Indeed, most of my clients are repeat clients. 

 

So either you are lying now or you lied when we were together in person, or maybe we never met at all. 

 

There may be only one way to know for sure:

 

Please share the date and time that we met. 

 

If you don’t remember, you can send me a private DM with the phone number you used to schedule the session. I don’t schedule sessions without a phone number.

 

I specialize in deep to extra deep tissue massage. For an extra deep tissue massage, I ask the client to lay down on the floor so that I can apply more pressure using my body weight. For those who do not like extra deep tissue, I give medium to deep tissue massage on the table. 

 

I try to apply perfect or near perfect pressure. Regardless, it  is important to clearly communicate what type of pressure you want so that I can know whether to apply more or less pressure. 

 

Regardless of the pressure you want, I do not use excessive pressure that makes the experience painful for you. If you want an excruciating experience, then I am not the one to visit. 

 

It is not right, however, to not clearly communicate, or, worse, say words of praise about the experience when we are together in person only to then come on here and give negative feedback after the fact. 

 

I offer a 60-minute in-call treatment completely free of charge to those who weren’t happy with the experience, provided that they can prove that they actually had a session with me. 

 

I remain very grateful to those who defended and/or recommend me. Thank you! 

Different strokes for different folks my guy, just because I didn't like your technique doesn't mean other people shouldn't. I was merely voicing my opinion, and didn't say anything bad about you.

Everyone says Blessings is great, but I tried him once and would not go back - maybe it was an off day? I'm a big guy and it's hard for me to find someone who can give strong and consistent pressure, but he is not even in the top 20 best masseurs I've tried in NYC over the years.

His IG has lots of great technique videos too!  Did he do that abdominal work he shows on his account?  What was that like?  I could see it being very therapeutic if one allowed themselves to relax... 

He did not,  but only because I asked him to spend the entire two hours on my back / glutes. Left the session with dramatically increased range of motion and big decrease in tightness and pain. He's really great!

I don't say this lightly - I'm a big guy and a serious bodybuilder, but Jhonathan is legitimately the best therapeutic massage I've ever had. It's rare that I find someone strong enough for me, let alone someone strong enough who's a professional and knows what they're doing.

He's in NYC until Wednesday and said he'd be back more often if he can get a decent base of clients here, so if you're looking for incredible, intuitive, deep tissue therapeutic work, try to see him before he leaves.

I'm doing this for purely selfish reasons so he'll be back more often 🤣

Texted. Got asked to fill out form for personal info (email, social media, etc) so he can check to see if we will be a good match. Says in his text that if I don’t like to share then we probably wont be a match. 
 

Maybe that is his way of checking if client is of his preference/type. Providers these days are quite creative. Although it didn’t sit right with me that I have to do this while I’m the one paying for the service. He looks nice and mature from his profile though. 

It seems sketch and problematic to me - I'm not super active on any social media sites but shared them anyway along with my phone number and email, and to simply not reply when someone provides personal information like that is a red flag. 

You can "weed out" clients with a phone call or even by asking for pictures, but then, why even bother advertising to the general public?

Did the same and he never replied. Seems sketchy.

Yeah, STAY AWAY from this dude. Seriously. 

I contacted him to schedule via text and he went absolutely nuts, even moreso when I said I wasn't interested in getting a massage with him. 

Texted me for weeks after, saying the most off the wall stuff FROM MULTIPLE NUMBERS, called and left rambling, insane, insulting voice mails...

So glad I saw this thread and it's oddly comforting to know I wasn't the only one.

Jason has to be one of the best deep tissue / therapeutic massages I've ever had, and I'm incredibly hard to please.

Wasn't looking for extras so can't speak to that, but he's a nice guy, very skilled, and will definitely make him my new go-to for legit massage work.

Personally, he’s one of my worst experiences. Cute AF and a very sexy body, but he was sort of spacey and i found him a bit creepy. massage skills were nonexistent and he tried to turn it into an escort service within the first 10 min.

Also my experience. Won't repeat.

No need for the snark, it's not constructive. I'm well aware of how poorly the search function works, and also that it's a holiday. Thanks for your help though.

Any recommendations? I know there has to be skilled masseurs in Chicago

I'll be in Chicago until September, was wondering if anyone can recommend a few masseurs here?

Most important thing is someone strong enough for genuine, consistent deep tissue work.

Thanks dudes!

Will be based in Grand Rapids for a few months for work - anyone in the area worth seeing?

Which is funny that the OP said extras aren’t important and then he listed Jose. Jose is a really sweet guy too though and his technique is solid.

Yeah, I've never pursued anything "extra" with anyone listed, which often leads to a longer massage and a better vibe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey guys -

Would like to know if there's anyone in the city I haven't tried that I should. I'm a bodybuilder and genuinely need a very strong, deep massage - extras not important.

Right now I go back and forth between the following depending on how much work my body needs:

-Max (UWS, aerialist)

-Sean (Union Square)

-Jose (Chelsea)

-Seandeept (HK)

Anyone else out there that's as good as these guys? Feel free to PM me with any suggestions or questions about my experiences.

Anyone know what happened to Ivan that used to work here? He was my go-to for a strong as hell / legit massage.
