If you are looking for a deep tissue massage that will help restore and re-set your body to its balance, this is it!
I was referred to Avi by a close friend who had gotten treatment from him, since she knew I was suffering from migraines. She told me she had great results from her treatment and was further inclined to refer him since she said he had over 15 years of experience in the field of therapeutic, healing massages.
When I went to see Avi, I had so much tension in my upper back, neck and scalp, all of which were keeping me in a state of chronic headaches and migraines :(. I was also doing acupuncture, which helped a great deal, but felt that I needed something to work deeper at the muscle/fascia level.
Avi has incredibly strong hands and can really apply powerful pressure to your muscles, so it's important to communicate with him and let him know the level of pressure you are comfortable with. This is not a Swedish relaxation massage and while it's not fun to have knots worked out of your muscles, if parts of your body are wound up with tension that are causing you pain, whatever discomfort you have to go through during the massage is well worth it for the end result.
Avi recommended a warm bath with Epsom salts and to drink lots of water to further flush out the toxins. I was a little sore the next day (which I read up and saw that it was normal to feel some soreness 24-48 hours after a deep tissue massage) and by evening, after 7 days of a torturous chronic migraine, I felt better and all that insane tightness in my neck and upper back were...
Read moreMy wife and I were on vacation in Miami, and we were both feeling a bit stiff from poor work ergonomics, so we decided it would be a good idea to get a massage. We looked around and found ourselves stuck between The Body Tech and a few others, and we're really glad we chose here. Avi took great care of us, and really tried to understand the issues we were experiencing. After a quick talk, he determined therapeutic massages (as opposed to relaxation) would suit us best. After about 50 minutes of intense work, I felt like a nicely tenderized cube steak. This was enough for me as it relieved my general daily stiffness, but the real proof of his workmanship came a few days after. I actually had a minor cycling accident a few weeks prior that resulted in strained intercostal muscles, which were still bothering me quite a bit at the time. Within a few days I was able to get back on my bicycle, and I'm convinced that the work he did really helped to accelerate the healing process. In addition to this, my wife mentioned her shoulders and lower back loosened up quite a bit as well. Lastly, Avi was punctual, friendly, and even had the courtesy to provide us with some tips for home care. So if you want an experience that will really benefit you, I promise you won't regret visiting The Body Tech. In fact, our only regret was that we didn't stay in Miami long...
Read moreI booked a massage with Avi for my grandmother for her 66th birthday and here’s what she has to say:
I was so nervous when my granddaughter told me that she scheduled a massage for me as part of a birthday weekend getaway to Miami. As soon I entered Avi’s shop the aura was one of extreme relaxation. Avi explained that he does therapeutic massage vs feel good massages. I heard him out, he explained what he would do and how it would happen. I went with it. Omgosh, it started out so intense but I could actually feel him working the knots out in my muscles and each step felt better than the first. I felt “repaired “ when the session was complete. It doesn’t end there, I left my earrings in the massage room and Avi went out of his way to return them to me. However, that’s not where this ends. When I returned to my hotel room I realized that the baby ring of one of my granddaughters had fallen off of necklace. My granddaughter texted Avi, when he returned to work the next day he found the ring called my granddaughter and offered to mail it to NY to me as I was already on my return flight home. Talk about customer service! It’s a must that you look up “Avi the Body Tech” when you’re in Miami. Go ahead…take the Avi challenge, you won’t be...
