Avo gives great massages. He is very good at knowing the exact pressure to use and I always feel totally refreshed after my massage. His hot stone massage is super relaxing. I highly recommend Avo. He will come to your house or he also works out of a shop. I have seen Avo for the last 3 years and he is just the best!!! read more

Avo is wonderful! He's super friendly and wanted to make sure you're taken care of. After my session with him, my back and neck definitely feel less tight!!! If you're ever looking for a massage therapist, he's your guy. read more

I had the pleasure of receiving a massage from Avo recently. I have been wanting to try him for the longest time since coming across his yelp reviews in the past. He knew where my trouble spots were and worked on them without causing pain. Highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend Avo. I started by getting chair massages and loved it so much that I upgraded to 90 min massages. Avo is very skilled and makes you feel very comfortable. The oils he uses are really good and he makes sure to regularly check in on me during the massage. He can work on trouble spots or give you a relaxing massage, depending on your needs. I've been going to him every month and I can rely on his massages to help take the tension away. I recently bought my mom and husband gift certificates for in home massages and I can't wait for them to use them. read more

My husband and I couldn't have found a better place to get massages.. Avo really really knows how to give his clients a great massage. I have always been pretty shy but with him, I feel so comfortable. The times I've gone to him for a massage I feel sore and exhausted 'before' getting the massage, but I feel as light as a feather after the massage. My husband also LOVED his massages by Avo so we're his clients for life now. ;) One of the most noticeable things about his establishment is that everything, the rooms, the beds, the sheets are soooo clean.. And the ambience is sooo calm and relaxing..You kinda forget what's outside. Definitely recommend Avo! read more

Awesome experience. The massage by Avo was relaxing! So looking for to my next massage session!

The 5 star reviews are accurate. I had my first massage and it was perfection. Avo is a highly skilled massage therapist. I carry a lot of neck and shoulder tension and Avo was able to work out my knots/kinks. What I also appreciated was dialogue about pressure, specific areas, etc. which allowed for a customized massage that helped me feel much better. Thank you!!! read more

I've been seeing Avo for therapeutic massages for the last 2+years. I initially went in to help with a sciatic issue I was having, and then started receiving treatment 1-2 times a month. Avo is professional, and listens to your concerns/feedback. Since having regular treatments, I have been able to lose weight, and keep flexibility in between visits. I should also mention that I have had corrective scoliosis surgery, and Avo does an excellent jb of navigating those areas. I would highly recommend Avo to anyone that needs or wants a therapeutic massage. read more

Excellent to work with and really cares about your wellness. Brought relief to an upper back issue. I wi

My sciatic nerve was giving me a shooting pain at my back. I booked a massage with Avo and he fixed me right up. My back felt great the next day and I would definitely go to him again. I plan on going to him monthly now. read more

Avo is an excellent massage therapist. He knows how to treat those stubborn aches and pains. He has healing hands. He can help clients of all ages and is very respectful and professional. I would definitely recommend Avo to all my friends and relatives who need a good soothing massage. read more

Such a great experience! I felt incredibly comfortable with Avo and his technique. He was very attentive and made sure that the pressure was just right for my body and sensitive areas. He was very fast to find my tender spots and problem areas and worked them out in a gentle, yet thoughtful way. I had a bit of a stuffy nose that day and it went away the next day! I believe it was because he moved all the toxins out through his method. Will definitely be back. Avo loves what he does, he is a master and his kindness radiates from him as a person. So happy I found him. read more

I've had many massages in my life so I feel I'm a pretty good judge of masseuse skills at this point. So when I say that Avo is excellent, I mean it. He is careful to make certain you are comfortable in every way - room temperature, pressure applied and even breathe-ability (my nose gets stopped up after lying face down too long and he heard me sniffling and offered tissue). He has a warm inviting personality and was an all round great guy who I plan to return to soon. read more

I purchased this massage for my father who suffers from sciatic problem. The massage was so great my dad will be going back twice a month. I went to avo for lymphatic massages and by far the best I've had, hands down! read more

Avo is the BEST! I had so much stress in my shoulder, neck and back and he just eased it all away. It was wonderful - didn't want him to stop! And Avo is the ultimate professional and one of the nicest people I have met. Very accommodating, concerned and responsive. Thanks AVO! read more

Avo is very attentive and attune to his client's needs. He gives 100% to his work and it shows in the results. His healing presence and fine-tuned skill combine to make a massage by him a MAGNIFICENT experience. Thank you AVO for helping me through 3 car accidents. read more

I've had a traumatic week and a friend gifted me with a massage by Avo. He has a perfect combination of deep tissue work with soothing and nourishing touch. He has the most pleasant energy and I felt so uplifted and wrung out by the experience. I will absolutely be seeing him again. Give yourself this gift read more

Avo has been doing my massages for a couple of weeks now. He knows how to relax the mind, soul, and tired muscles. He has really soft yet firm hands. I love the way he works on my upper back and puts the exact pressure of what I need. The scalp massage helps my tension headaches, and I highly recommend those. His love for his job shines through his smile. It's nice to know he also volunteer's his time to others when needed, what more can i say? He's a genuinely nice man!! read more

Massages By Avo - Avo - Thanks!! - Massage Near Me - Pasadena, California

Couldn't have asked for a more relaxing (physically and mentally) massage. Of course with CoVId I have been very weary about going out; however I woke up with a huge knot in my shoulder that was inhibiting me from turning my head both ways . Hence my call to Avo. He was eager to do the massage but not pushy. First impressions are everything of course. He offers both house calls or his own room in his home for massages . I opted for his house. Upon arrival, Avo was well-equipped with both a mask and face shield. He had hand sanitizer available prior to the massage and assured everything had been clean and wiped down with bleach . Furthermore, he had the courtesy to ask which oils I preferred and what body parts were of concern. Throughout the massage he would ask if the pressure was ok and if I was feeling any discomfort. At no point in time did i have any doubt in my mind as to his expertise. He had good hand and arm control and strength. His back routine is commendable. All in all, v impressed and am probably going to get a massage every month until this pandemic stops stressing me out! read more

Avo is the best! He's able to find trouble areas and release tension extremely effectively.

Avo is amazing! He is very skilled and attentive to your needs. He is also just a very kind person which is an added bonus. He works the knots and before you know it - you feel like a new person. Probably one of the best massages I've had. He also does house calls for a reasonable price. Thanks Avo!!! read more

Great massage. Avo has been helpful in getting me moving again. He's very patient knows the questions to ask and tailors all massages around the needs you want to work on. If you can get in to see , you won't regret it. read more

Thank you for an amazing massage. Professional, knew what he was doing. Asked all the right questions. Will definitely be booking another massage soon. read more

Wow!! Amazing how I feel after every session... like a new woman. Avo's hands are soothing with a little pain but one that hurts so good. I don't trust just anyone to touch my body but here he's very respectful and ethical. Prices are competitive. I recommend! read more

Had my third massage today with Avo and was great again! He really knows what he is doing and works with you on making sure that he does exactly what you want and need, asking questions all along to make sure you are comfortable. Will definitely be scheduling my next massage with Avo soon... read more

so nice, and gives good massages, nice conversation, asks for problem areas and all and ask if you prefer hard or soft.

Best massage therapist in Pasadena area. Always professional, consistent, and knowledgeable(trained in anatomy). Even better than the $220 massage I got. Don't sleep on Avo! read more

Hands down the best massage I ever had. Very kind and professional. I strongly recommend him!

Avo was commissioned by our office to do a group chair massage and I was the first in line. Avo is very professional and thorough-- he was punctual and came prepared with soothing music, an adjustable massage chair, and a collection of essential oils he lets you choose as an aromatherapeutic component. His demeanor is gentle though his grip is firm. Avo's customer satisfaction definitely warrants a review and re-booking. read more

WOW! Best massage I ever had! Avo came to my house as a mother's day gift from my husband. It also happen to be 6 days after giving birth to my daughter. Avo was experienced in giving a postpartum massages and took time to speak to me about my areas of discomfort. He was able to give me a deep massage without causing pain, often checking in with me to make sure I was comfortable with the pressure. He was punctual and came prepared with music and essential oils. I enjoyed the massage so much, we asked him to return the next day to give my mother-in-law and husband a massage too! I've had many massages before and Avo is simply the best! read more

This yelp review is long overdue!!! AVO IS THE BEST MASSEUSE EVER!!!!! I have been going to Avo for approximately 15 years!!! 15 years!!! That's a review in itself. The fact that I continue to see Avo on a regular basis is because he is that good!!! He is extremely professional, takes his time, will ask you if the pressure is ok, asks you if you're comfortable, or if you're warm or cool enough, etc..... I have referred him to others because I am that confident that my family and friends will not be disappointed. If I could give Avo 10 stars I would. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES!!! read more

We have used Massages by Avo for years at our corporate events and they always do an excellent job. We had an event last week and they came on time, setup quickly and were able to get to everyone that wanted a massage after a grueling stair climb challenge. We will definitely be using their services again! read more

Avo is out of this world amazingly good. He has completely changed my back and the experience is relaxing, fun, and genuinely improves your daily life. My whole family loves him, and we cant agree on anything! We have started having him come every week because of it. Seriously, you're not going to find better. read more

My husband had an injury going in and he could barely move his neck and Avo did an amazing job working out the troubled spots. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. We will be back to use his services for sure!!!!! read more

Avo gives the best deep tissue massages. He spends the majority of massage time working on your problem areas, whether or not you know what those are. I have scoliosis, sciatica, and other related issues. I'm so glad to have found Avo. read more

Avo is awesome! I've been going to him for over a month for chair massage and with only 20 minutes he is able to work wonders on my neck and shoulders. I plan to have him do a whole body one day. He is very detailed and its as if he can read exactly what my body needs. Thank you Avo. read more

Avo is an excellent massage therapist. I have been getting chair massages from Avo weekly for over a year now, and they are the highlight of my week. What I like about Avo's massages are that he has the perfect pace and strength. I have been to other therapists who seem unfocused and sort of quickly rub my back, but Avo actually massages to get the kinks out. The 20 minutes that I get feel like a lot longer without feeling rushed. Avo focuses on making my back feel better. He works methodically, and applies just the right amount of pressure to feel like my muscles are relaxing but not too much so that I am very sore the next day. He will work with you to find the right balance as well. You will not regret a massage with Avo. read more

Our company hired Avo to do 10 to 15 minutes chair massages and everyone love it! He brought his own massage chair, music, and essential oils. All my co-workers, including myself, felt so relax after the massage. He was able to get all the tension and knots out of our neck, shoulders, and back. We will definitely hire him again. read more

Yes. Avo is a wonderful massage therapist. He is also a wonderful person. He has a calming, gracious, warm, intuitive nature which I feel is essential for a massage therapist. He goes out of his way to make sure you feel comfortable from the moment he meets you and takes that sense of comfort into the room creating a safe, welcoming environment, free of all stress, to fully relax you before even beginning the massage. He asks the right questions and checks in regularly throughout the massage to ensure he's using the right amount of pressure and focusing on your exact trigger points. I highly recommend him. read more

I've had a lot of massages in my day, but Avo is amazing! His attention to every detail and skill is far beyond anyone. I would use him every month if I could! (For at home) Def be recommending him to people!! read more
