Revive Massage DC

Ivo at Revive as my regular massage therapist even through these tough times of 2020. I feel safe, clean, and know my body will be taken care of in his professional, certified, and well-versed hands in each massage.nnI’m trying to support small businesses as much as I can in 2020 and this is one that I will certainly continue to support!

Petar accommodated me last minute with a super great routine. He's traveled a lot so has a lot of good stories too but can still hit all the targets in one hour. Definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a massage to realign their muscles.

Three stars for Revive, four stars for Sylvia. [Note: the website does not list any information about their COVID practices -- my wife was asked to wear a mask for the duration of her massage, and we both had to put our faces into paper towels laid over the face rest. The masseuses also wore gloves the entire time.] We had a couples massage and arrived to be taken right to the massage room after confirming we had an 11AM appointment. After getting onto the table, it became apparent that the room smelled old, like stale water – which makes sense because there was obvious water damage on one of the walls. I understand that we didn’t request aromatherapy, but there were no candles or any fragrances of any kind, just an old, unpleasant smell. My massage table also creaked every time any pressure was put onto my back, loud enough that my wife heard from across the room – not very relaxing for either of us. After comparing our massages, my wife realized that her table didn’t have the heating element plugged in and was cold pretty much the whole time. Once we went out to pay, we were asked what massage we booked (did we really even get the massage we paid for?) and asked to fill out some client forms, asking if we had any existing pain, etc. – things that should have obviously been asked prior to the massage. Overall, my massage was decent for the price (Sylvia did a good job on my shoulders) but it’s on the cheaper end of massages for a reason and our experience was pretty unprofessional. Won’t return.

Came in for my first deep tissue with Petar and it made a world of difference for someone who works out daily and also has a demanding/physical job. Super professional and effective, would highly recommend.

Ivo is a GOD! He 's incredible. He found all the knots that I had and I melted on that table. There were knots I didn't even realize I had!! Temperature in the room was great, lighting was perfect and the music smoothing.nIvo is very professional and the environment is clean.nIt's definitely worth the visit! Thank you Ivo!
