This was one of the best massages ever. Max is fabulous. He has a very calming energy and helped me feel really comfortable. He asked me many questions to make sure the massage was being directed the right way and works with many different modalities, including pressure points with deep tissue which I loved. And, as someone else said, Max is definitely not a cookie-cutter masseuse. He knows what he's doing and does it really well. I'll be definitely recommending him and plan to go back. read more

Max is not a cookie cutter massage therapist. He worked on my problem areas in ways I've never had done and I actually felt knots popping when he wasnt touching them. Very relaxing and different approach. I will be back for sure! If your on the fence go! Update: woke up the morning after my massage and for the first time in a LONG time I don't feel like my neck is connected by two thick rubberbands fighting. read more

So much more than a regular massage! Max tailors everything to you and your body's needs. Every session is different. He will ask you how you've been feeling and what areas have been bothering you. Not only will he work on the area, he will give you tips on how to prevent this and the reasoning behind it. Max is really knowledgeable and professional. 10 stars! read more

I had an AWESOME experience. I got my first massage through a deal on Groupon. Booking the massage was extremely easy through the website. Because of work, I ended up cancelling and re-booking twice. It took less than a minute to schedule, cancel and re-book. As far as the massage goes, I was extremely impressed by Max's technique and background in massage therapy. It was evident that he is very knowledgeable on how to customize a massage to your needs. I've had a lot of massages, and this one was by far the least frills and most targeted to working out all the painful and/or injured areas of my body. I'm an avid volleyball player with recurring knee pain, so he spent much of the massage working on the areas surrounding my knees, and gave me a lot of advice to improve my knee strength. I would highly recommend this service for people that are active or have had injuries. 10/10!! read more

Where to begin?! First of all, this is not your generic deep massage. Max took the time to ask about my prior medical history in terms of my musculoskeletal system. The massage itself was very unique in the sense that it felt more like stretching combined with pressure as opposed to the typical pressure alone that I've experienced in other massages. I could tell that not only was he very knowledgeable about the anatomy of the body, but the physiology as well. He listened to my body and addressed it needs so well that I was able to completely relax, despite the intense (but satisfying) pain. He checked in often to make sure I was doing okay and that the pressure was good, which I appreciated. He put some SERIOUS work into my messed up body and explained what I could do to help relieve my pain. So impressed!!! It was almost more like physical therapy and a massage read more

Great experience with Serrvasana Clinical Massage Therapy, from start to finish. I decided to try it because I saw a Groupon, but now am scheduling my next visit at full price because of the terrific results. Max is awesome, and really seems to understand anatomy and how the body works. I'm struggling with a shoulder problem (tendonitis, and impingement) and have been taking my doctor's advice for 3 months with no improvement at all. One visit to Serrvasana and I am feeling much better. I can't wait for my next visit, and to see the improvement continue. The ambiance is boho, inviting and zen. Overall a very good experience and I can't wait to go back. read more

This guy really knows how to give a massage. It's not a generic "ready-made" massage. If you let him know specifically what you want to address, he will know how to address it. I went in because my right shoulder, through years of driving and sleeping on my right side, was sloping forward. I let Serr know this, and he used several different techniques to properly stretch out the muscles that needed attention, and gave great advice on how to continue my progress post-massage. At the end of the day, you know the difference between a $30 massage and a $70 massage, and this guy is worth every penny. That's coming from me, and I am a complete cheapskate. read more

Awesome deep-deep tissue massage... paired with really nice music, Max definitely knows how and where to press "release buttons " in your body so you will feel like a new person (: Suggest everyone to try ! read more

Serr was absolutely fantastic! I'm a heavy lifter and get knots in my back and neck quite often. Serr was not only able to get all of my knots out but he also taught me stretches I should be doing to help be preventative. I currently live in Los Angeles and will travel once a month to visit Serr because he's the only person I've found to cure any back problems I've had. read more

I've been seeing max regularly for an old back injury for a couple months now and have improved dramatically. Max is very knowledgeable and does great deep tissue work. I would recommend him to anyone with injuries or who just wants a good massage. read more

I had a great first experience with massage at Serrvasana. Max was very professional and asked questions to customize the massage to my personal needs. Beautiful location hidden in Ocean Beach on Newport. Great first time special as well. I would highly recommend his service especially for athletes or those with injury. This is not a generic massage. He is very knowledgeable and customizes the massage for your body. read more

Max is the master of deep tissue massage. I go every other week.

Serr is awesome!! I was experiencing severe neck pain and Serr worked his magic, and for the first time in a month I was able to move my neck without pain. Definitely book an appt, you won't regret it! read more

Initially I was hesitant to try a male therapist but I am so happy I tried Serr! He has a more thorough approach than most. Not only did he help me to achieve greater range of motion in my shoulders and neck but I left my first session feeling energized! I have seen Serr many times since and each time has been great. He even teaches yoga!! If you are looking for a therapist who is well trained, intelligent, cares about his clients and has years of experience you are making a great choice with Serr. read more

Was in town for a few days and found a groupon. I am so glad I did! Max was super professional very communicative all while being friendly! I thoroughly enjoyed my massage and the conversation. If you're in the area so see Max! And if your not go see Max! read more

Max is very knowledgable and really concentrated on my problem areas. I was worried that having a deep tissue massage will leave me sore because I am often too sensitive with deeper pressure. But Max knew the trigger points, which made it such a relaxing experience. I even slightly dozed off. I immediately felt the improvement. I surely will come back for another appointment. This massage is a great accompaniment to my stretching, yoga, pilates, barre, and aerial classes. read more

I originally found this hidden gem on Groupon. They had a nice discount on a deep tissue massage, which I really enjoy much more than a regular Swedish massage. Serr was absolutely fantastic and addressed all my pain/tension issues with finesse. It's clear he's extremely knowledgeable on the human body and an expert at deep tissue massage. He was quickly able to identify all of my problem areas and treat them accordingly. He even hit spots that I'd never have any other masseuse target! I left feeling fantastic and with zero pain. I can't wait to go back and look forward to my next visit here. read more

I really enjoyed my massage at Serrvasana with Serr. He was very thorough and skilled in his approach to massage therapy, and was able to do a great job in giving me a deep tissue massage. I have had issues with TMJ and headaches, and he helped to relieve my pain. I felt completely relaxed after leaving, and would recommend this massage clinic for anyone in need of an excellent massuse! read more

I am beyond thankful for Serr. I have tight IT and piriformis. Serr does not do a cookie cutter "massage". He was extremely strategic in focusing on my areas of concern. I would definately recommend going to him. read more

Tried this spot yesterday and will definitely be back. This is a custom massage and Max really takes his time, is attentive and gives specialized attention to what his client need. Be sure to check him out. Worth every penny. read more

Best message I've had in 30 years. Professional and truly " deep tissue". Loosened all those knotted up muscles . I feel great! Will absolutely be back! read more

Occasionally I get a really stiff neck and back, it's been going on for many years. I've tried a handful of different masseuses in this and other cities. I believe Max has been the best I've used so far. He really digs into the problem areas and knows all the muscle groups really well, finding knots and how it connects to the pain and stiffness I'm having. I can't say it's always relaxing, since it hurts like a bitch when he's working those knots out. He'll ask if it hurts too much and back off, but I usually just grin and bare it as he distracts me with conversation or guides me to breathe through the pain. He's the first masseuse I've actually scheduled for regular tuneups. The fact that I can walk there from my OB apartment doesn't hurt either. read more

excellent massage--as I would expect. I did not expect his Physical Therapy Training and that was immediately evident when I began to explain my Frozen Shoulder. Exceptional therapy. read more

I went to Max with intense pain in my neck, back, and leg. He did an amazing job focusing on my three problem areas and left me feeling definitely better! There was a spot on my back where it hurt when I breathed. After my massage, I could breathe without the intense pain I had felt. I have been encouraging my mom to now go for a massage with Max since she, too, has intense back pain. Max just really knows what he is doing when it comes to dealing with problem areas. My right leg that he worked on was from surgery, and Max was very qualified to handle this. read more
