I highly recommend Rodrigo at Deep Therapeutic Massage. He is companionate, amazing at listening and communicating throughout the massage and changing his pressure where needed. I am a massage therapist and couldn't imagine going to anyone else.

Always a relaxing and deeply therapeutic experience. Rodrigo has been my go-to massage therapist for 10 years. His calming voice and interest in better health outcomes are a bonus.

I find Rodrigo to bring a special presence to the table. He is an elite Therapist hands down. I have trouble finding anyone who matches his abilities. He is very strong and has muscle melt magic.

Best hands-on therapist of Any modality. Rodrigo, thank you! You've straightened me out so many times when I was crooked & totally out of whack, and w/ such a spirit of both gentleness & strength (each when needed).... I've experienced easily over a hundred massage therapists, as I've been in "the biz" for 44 years. And I've only experienced those regarded as "high-level" by other therapists. Thank you, you're the best.

Rodrigo is the best massage therapist in Austin. You can feel the experience and in-depth bodywork knowledge he has in the way he works. He can find and work out tension you didn’t know you had. His hands are magic in a way that can’t be taught.

Rodrigo's work has been a cornerstone of my health for over 10 years. He is, unequivocally, the very best of the best: He is the therapist other therapists go to and learn from. His deep tissue work has been essential to me through times of good health, injury, and everything in between. He is quiet, thoughtful, generous, and an absolute master of his craft. He is a healer and I am very grateful and incredibly fortunate to know him.

I have been getting massages from Rodrigo for a very long time, and quite honestly, it has spoiled me in terms of what to expect from a professional massage. He is a true healer with a gift for both noticing emotionally held tension and understanding the mechanics of musculoskeletal injury. Here's the only downside: after he has worked on your body, you (like me) will have a hard time finding another massage therapist that lives up to the same experience.

Rodrigo gave me one of the best massages I ever had. I suffer from back problems and his fingers seemed to magically know exactly the spots that needed relief. He was very present and connected during the massage, and I felt safe and cared for throughout. I will definitely be going back to him for massages in the future!
