My family and I have been getting massages by Avo for over 4 years now. Avo has been a massage therapist for almost 30 years, he knows exactly what he's is doing. He's professional funny and listens. Avo does deep tissue massage. Hot rock massage and others are available also. He is very easy to book an appointment with and is always available if you just have a question. I'm glad to have found him on Yelp in the first place when my lower back was in so much pain I could barely walk. I highly recommend Avo for any of your ailments or if you would just like to treat yourself. Thank you Avo read more

I've been going to Avo regularly for over five years and he's the best massage therapist I've been to. Avo is a healer: he's caring, intuitive and extremely adaptive to your specific needs. As someone who suffers from chronic pain and fibromyalgia, sometimes I am too sore for deep tissue; other times, I really need work on my tense neck and back. He modifies his technique to whatever I need. His 2-hour hot stone massages will have you melting into the table! read more

Avo has been helping take care of me for over 2 years now. I couldn't recommend him more. I live in the Bay Area and come every chance I can. I have lots of back issues from various injuries and stress. He is one the rare therapists with the experience, skills and strength to really help with my issues. I just wish I could see him more (because I don't live in the area). Thank you Avo for your professionalism and kindness. read more

Avo is gifted and knowledgeable. Someone near injured my back from poor skills and it took Avo one session to at least get me back to functioning well enough. I feel very comfortable with his work and highly recommend him to anyone. You can tell he's passionate about the craft of healing and harmony. read more

I had the pleasure of having Avo provide chair massages at my recent golf tournament, and he was truly outstanding.

Avo is professional, kind, and exceptionally talented. I highly recommend him--you won't be disappointed! read more

Great chair massage! Very caring and accommodating for my physical ailments and disabilities. Felt wonderful and helped relieve some of my pain. He is a great massage therapist! read more

Met Avo for the first time yesterday. He was referred by a friend who had raving reviews. She was not wrong :) my 90 min massage was amazing... deep tissue and targeted my knots. The stretching and foot and scalp massage were a cherry on top. Will be coming again. Like that he can also come to your home... will be doing that for my elderly parents read more

Excellent work! Both relaxing and therapeutic. Depth, pressure, perfect and a keen sense of areas in need. 19 times out of 20 I walk away from a massage feeling disappointed. Not with Avo, he nailed it. Professional, kind, and empathetic - a really nice guy to boot. Thanks Avo, I'll be back! read more

I was visiting from out of town and my chronic neck & shoulder issue was acting up. I called him based on the other Yelp reviews. He was very accommodating to my busy schedule and was able to meet me at the house we were staying at. He listened to what my issues were and went to work! Very professional. We were able to fit in 2 deep tissue sessions in the week I was here and it really helped, especially after the 2nd session, which is typically what it takes to fix me. The first session was good but the 2nd session, after he had become familiar with what my issues were and what I can and cannot tolerate was fantastic. If you live here and are looking for a therapeutic masseuse, I highly recommend using him regularly. Thanks Avo! read more

Amazing massage in house! Very sweet, professional, and strong hands. Highly recommend Avo!

Avo was recommended to me by a good friend of mine. He came to my house and of course that is so convenient. From the moment I met him I was very comfortable and felt safe in his hands(literally). I hadn't had a a massage in a very long time so I was slightly nervous and Avo instantly took my nerves away. He had me relax not just my body but my mind. I even cried at one moment from a few words and affirmations of kindness from him. I 100% recommend Avo for your next personal massage. read more

Avo is the best massage therapist in LA County, and probably in the world. I started seeing him nearly a year ago following a back injury, and I am almost completely healed thanks to him. He is very attentive to my individual needs, always checking in on my injury, where it hurts, what needs attention, how the pressure is, etc. He has decades of experience and it shows. Most importantly, he is kind, communicative, and makes me feel comfortable. You will not regret booking him, but you will wonder how you ever lived without him!! Thanks for everything Avo!! read more

Avo was phenomenal. Professional massage and a great person. I can't leave a better review other than say i felt like a million bucks when I left Avo today. I got the hot stones massage and it was incredible. Best ever. He is the only person i will call in LA for a massage. Also, during COVID Avo he was very safe. Showed up in a mask and gloves, washed hands and equipment many times, and took the time to explain how he was being safe. read more

Mr Avo was nothing but amazing. His communication is so thorough and respectful. He knows the right spots to massage and is just great at being a masseuse. Highly recommended!! read more

Avo is amazing! I had strain my shoulder and it locked up with a shoulder impingement. Avo worked the whole hour on freeing up my shoulder. He was in tune to my pain (and it was painful because of the depth of stretch he had to use) and was always checking to make sure that I was okay. The next day I had half of my range of motion back and the day after almost fully recovered. He is very skilled at his craft. Thanks Avo! read more

Avo is a master massage therapist. I have had a ton of massages in my life all over the world and Avo is at the top of the list.

After searching far and wide for a 'go-to' massage spot in Pasadena, I found Avo on Yelp over 2 years ago and the rest is history.
