Muscle Surfing - Albuquerque Massage — Local services in Albuquerque

Tavia is amazing at what she does! I was looking for someone who had experience with a sport massage because I injured my legs while working out. I initially thought the pain would go away but 5 days later I was in a lot of pain and couldn’t really bend my knees, walk up and down the stairs, or sit from a standing position. My right leg was swollen in comparison to the my left leg. I was frustrated and decided maybe a massage would help. I found Tavia online and asked her if she could squeeze me that day. She was able to fit me in as her last appointment for a 1 hour full body massage. I wasn’t sure what to expect since it was a mobile appointment. She brought her equipment with her and was extremely professional. I told her what my concerns were and she took them into consideration. She gives you privacy to undress and starts by asking what scents would you like for your massage. I chose lavender and some other earthy scent which was very relaxing. The entire experience was amazing. She tried to stretch out my leg muscles by applying a deep massage technique. She constantly asked me if I was comfortable with the pressure she was applying. I felt extremely relaxed and safe! I was able to pay with my credit card after the session. The next day I woke up and I realized I could actually bend my knees ,and walk up and down the stairs! My pain improved significantly and my swelling is almost gone. Tavia is a miracle worker and I’m glad I found her online. I highly recommend her! ...

I have also reviewed Tavia on Yelp, where I normally focus my reviews, but her talent is well worth discussing here as well.

Tavia is straightforward on the phone and tells you what her training is and asks in what way she can help you. I am recovering from an injury from sports, not only to mention 'stress' related issues from a cross country move that landed me in Albuquerque. Although I have only been able to see her a few times, her approach and understanding of my injuries along with her training in what I would call are 'medical massage' approaches has turned around pain and numbness I was experiencing.

As a result I am back to my normal training routine and activity level, including sparring. I do hope to schedule with her soon for a tune up, but that highlights my whole point: Tavia has brought me from being injured and stressed, experiencing numbness on my left side to living without any of those afflictions.

I should say, so you know, this type of massage--or medical massage therapy--costs somewhat more than the discount 'massages' that only uses the same word, but not approach in delivering those seeking help to true recovery and wellness. There's probably only one or two people live Tavia in any city across the country so be glad if you have...

I'll keep this simple, brief, to the point and factual. Tavia is very expensive- and deservedly so. I'm an American Ninja Warrior competitor and athlete and I travel all around the country on training trips, often getting massage wherever I go & as much as I can. Over the last few years I've had massage by dozens of different therapists across the country. Tavia (Muscle Surfing) is a cut above the rest. Her intuition of the body and expert ability to find the points of tension & get down to business is expert level. She has great communication and therefore has the ability to give you exactly what you need. With full sincerity I can say she is more skilled than the vast majority of therapists out there. And that is saying a lot.

If you're an athlete looking for some tension release and a thorough, full body scan hitting all the spots, HIGHLY recommended. She's very very good.
