Ayden gives amazing massages! I was so stressed when I went there, but I felt like a new person when I left. His techniques and stretches are the best. He uses these hot bamboo sticks that are super relaxing. Every time I go, I feel so relaxed and rejuvenated. He's got magic hands and his techniques are one-of-a-kind. I totally recommend him. He knows how to treat his clients and help them feel free from pain and stress. Thanks, buddy, for those amazing hands you have! Oh, and he's super respectful, so you feel totally comfortable on the table.

Ayden Magic Hands. The name could not be more perfect! I was lucky enough to book a session with him while he was visiting my city. The whole process was beyond easy. From the initial contact to the welcoming smile and handshake when we met it was a real pleasure.

The massage was on point. He uses a combination of Table Thai, Lomi Lomi, thera-gun, and incorporated stretching through out the massage. I get massages on the regular and can honestly say this was one of the best I've ever received.

Easy conversationalist and super friendly. I made sure to ask him to let me know when he'll be back. I do not want to miss another great experience!

Do yourself a favor and book Ayden when he's in town.

I was in need of a real massage and not just someone slathering lotion. Figured I’d reach out to Ayden and he was quick to respond and actually got me in that afternoon. Right from the start I could tell this was going to be a different massage. Ayden uses a variety of techniques for particular muscle issues ranging from cups to handheld massagers to hot bamboo. The 2 hours flew by. Ayden is very friendly and talks a bit, but with ever changing modalities of the massage, you weren’t going to be lulled into a sleep anyway, so conversation was welcome. I left actually feeling better than when I walked in and wasn’t even sore the next morning. If you want a real massage, then I highly recommend Ayden and look forward to seeing him again when he comes back through town.

Ayden was very professional and made me feel at ease immediately. I was very stressed out this week and he made it all melt away on his massage table. His stretching really gets the experience started and his work with a vibrating glove helps your muscles melt away all your stress. He also uses a hot bamboo stick that really felt amazing.

I felt relaxed and super calm after the appointment. He knows his job and takes great pride in making sure you are comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend him.

Ayden was very professional and personable.
He gave me a masssage with a mixture of stretches and massage.
It was massage meets stretch zone. He called it Table Thai.
He explained the technique and I was super impressed and will definitely be booking another massage with Ayden.

I have a complex pain syndrome called CRPS that is is nothing painful and causes a lot of muscle spasms.

It is usually quite painful to have massage work and stretching done, and have been to physical therapy and chiropractors in the past with some, but not a lot of relief.

At a point where I was feeling particularly uncomfortable, I found Ayden’s post on masseurfinder, and booked a same-day appointment for two hours to allow enough time to try to get some relief.

Not only was he quickly available, but using an extremely wide range of techniques, he broke broke scar tissue loose that hasn’t moved in decades. I was sore for a few days but REALLY glad I found him, because he did in 2 hours what others had not been able to do after multiple sessions.

Normally, he said he’s in the area once a month (Tampa, since he’s based in Orlando) but I would drive there in the middle of the month for so I could get a massage session every 2-3 weeks instead of a month between sessions.

Amazing job!

I was looking for a good and real maseur in Miami. Not having good luck. When I found Ayden, I like him very much. He is so clean,prosessional, always looking for new techniques for my massage.
Before every massage he ask me about my body so he can work on the stress area. High preasure, cupping, stretching,deep tissue, hot stones are some examples of what he did to me and I really feel it and like it. He is ready with his table, clean blanquets, towels, music, etc. He is never watching the time, his rates are fair and the most important is that I can’t wait for my next massage.

Ayden has given me several massages over the last few months. He is polite, respectful, and always on time. He is especially skilled in stretching and Thai modalities, although I ask him for a somewhat softer touch, since I have osteoporosis. He is talkative (not a bad thing!), strong, and very friendly. Highly recommended if you want a good, thorough massage.

Ayden gave me an amazing massage. I put him to work. I have many a knots in my shoulder and back and he was able to dig deep and get them out. Not an easy task. He also worked on my legs for a long time since I tend to be quite sore from the gym and sports. You can tell he’s been doing this for a long time cause he just work his magic and you end up feeling like anew person when he’s done.

He also will do some amazing stretches with your upper body and legs. It may not be for everyone but it definitely works.

Beyond his technique he was very personable and friendly. Thanks again.

I had a hard workout training session and my muscles were sore, achy, and needing more stretching than what I could do. I contacted Ayden and he was immediately available. After first releasing and relieving the tension in my upper back (aka "cracking my back"), he proceeded to massage the acute and chronic muscles all over. The most amazing part of the massage was his Thai work (stretching). That in combination with his therapeutic massage and myofascial release was amazing. (There was also some acupressure employed.) I felt 100% better after this session. Thank you Ayden, you are truly remarkable.

Absolutely Outstanding!

I have traveled all over the world and have had many massages but Ayden massage was phenomenal for so many reason's. I love Ayden's techniques with understanding how to find the pressure points, maintaining stamina and combining several massage styles within one setting. Ayden's professionalism and knowledge as a masseur provided me with comfort as he engaged me with conversation before the massage. Ayden assured my expectations would be met. There were so many massage profiles to choose from , but by far; Ayden should definitely be your choice. If I had Jay-Z or Steve Jobs money, I would hire Ayden as my personal masseur.

I've been looking for a therapist that can truly do deep tissue massage. I've visited several therapists throughout Miami in the last several months. None come close to the technique that I received during this massage.
We had a thorough conversation about trouble areas and pain points. We talked about relativity between the points of the symptoms and the areas of the actual causes. Then, the massage started. It was the most productive massage I've had in Miami. So much so that after the massage was complete, I bought a package of additional massages. Very worth the investment.

What a wonderful massage. He certainly knows how to work the muscles to blast through the tightness. Ayden may be small, but man can he pack a punch. I have been having such neck and shoulder tightness that I couldn't hold off any longer. So glad I called Ayden.

He is pleasant, sweet, and professional. Will be making this a regular thing from now on.

May 10, 2017 in Margate, FL (in-studio)

Ayden is a consummate masseur. He uses many massage modalities/techniques and when he says he goes deep, he goes DEEP. Very powerful hands and arms! He found problem areas I didn't know I had. I've tried a lot of masseurs and he is one of the best. Call him now!
