David was very professional, easy to talk to and was able to tailor my session to my own physical issues. After years of lower back pain from osteoarthritis and bulging discs and only being prescribed meds, epidural injections, some PT, I finally got some relief from my massage. However, please do not use my experience to substitute a massage without consulting your physician. This is only my experience. I invested in David's package plan so that I can get a massage now on a regular basis. It's frustrating that most medical insurance (not mine anyway) will cover meds, and medical procedures but not massage therapy. Thank you so much David!

While I don’t have the opportunity to get a massage often, I have been to enough massage therapists over the years to appreciate the difference between a highly skilled masseuse and a not so great (or even terrible) one, and David is truly one of the best! He spent a good 15 minutes prior to the massage just talking to me about all my aches and pains and what has helped and what hasn’t, and he zoomed right in on nasty knots and trouble spots. If you are looking for a massage therapist that can actually work with you to form a plan of action that will help you not just relax but heal as well, look no further! Highly skilled, professional massage therapists are few and far between, and we are so lucky to have David as our resident massage therapist here at Potomac Shores!

Best massage experience I’ve ever had. It’s rare for a masseuse to actually “listen to your requests” and tailor the massage in a therapeutic manner.
Communicative, responsive, excellent for any type of massage or cup therapy. 5 stars, if you haven’t tried David, get on his schedule as it’s booking up quickly.
I’ve had over 100+ massages in my life. Arguably the best.
In addition to massage therapy and cup therapy, he provides insight on various ways you can improve your physical issues at home.
A massage of a lifetime plus healthy coaching home tips..
My girlfriend and I both got massages the same day. She had the same incredible feeling yet her massage was completely different based on our needs and body issues.
“Custom massage” yet costs roughly the same as a “massage envy” - make the wise decision.
We did.

David is a highly skilled massage therapist with amazing customer service focus! Every time I see him, he delivers a 12 out of 10 experience. He takes time to find out what areas I like him to focus on, and he weaves it in his routine seamlessly. His room is a sanctuary. As soon as I step in, I’m calm and relaxed. It’s not only the beautiful decor, but also the light and aromatherapy that are all a part of the experience. Go treat yourself!

Omgoodness. David is THE BEST. I swear, in all the states we have lived in and countries we have traveled to THIS MASSEUR, David, is the absolutely best. I was almost trying to prepare myself for another disappointing “light tap” massage, because we haven’t been able to find anyone for the longest time, and I can promise you that this DID NOT happen. You will definitely feel the pressure you want, feeling
relaxed and rejuvenated after. Don’t think about it any longer,,,, Just book your appointment and you will see and feel for yourself. Enjoy!!!

The room was spotless and beautifully decorated. The table was the most comfortable I’ve been on. And the Massage was the best I’ve had in many years. David got all my aching muscles and was able to maintain good pressure for 90 minutes which a lot of therapist can’t. I’m so devastated that he’s moving to DC in two weeks. A good massage therapist is so hard to find.

In search of a new local massage therapist, I came across Escape Massage Therapy here on yelp. I booked an appt with David after reading a few reviews, in hopes of finding an excellent therapeutic massage. I got the feeling I stumbled upon a hidden gem. Luckily I was right! The in-home studio was immaculately clean with a beautiful set-up and custom detailing to create the perfect tranquil ambiance. David and I discussed my wellness goals, past injuries and desired outcome for my massage and he tailored a custom plan to fit my needs. I received a phenomenal deep tissue/sports massage hybrid. This easily rates in my top 3 massage experiences throughout all of America, Mexico and the Caribbean. David's technique far exceeds every high-end spa massage I have ever had. David was able to take my deep tissue massage right to my comfort threshold to create a relaxing yet therapeutic session. This will be to ONLY therapist I will use on Oahu!

David had magic hands, honestly! This wasn't my first massage so I knew what to expect bit he truly gifted. His touch has perfect, not too soft and not so hard, which usually isn't the case for many masseuse. I felt an energy come thru him as he layed his hands on me, it was something I've never felt before. A true warm almost electric energy, it quickly allowed to relax completely. When my time was over I didn't feel wiped like I often feel but completely relaxed which is so very hard for me to do. I went to work and felt so peaceful and I was not my normal hurried kine aunty. ( which i hear people on island say about me all the time.) the rest of the day. ¡ will definitely be returning!
