Gor Hovhannisyan, massage and rehabilitation therapist

I came for a course of massage for an obvious reason: I sit at a computer all day. It got so bad that in the evenings a sharp pain shot from my shoulder into my head, so I really wanted results. I went to Gor, a massage and rehabilitation therapist. He was caring and attentive the whole time and kept checking how I was doing. After every session I was asked how I felt. Most importantly, the massage helped. The pain in my neck, shoulders and back went away, the headaches stopped, and as a bonus my legs look better :) Ladies, if you're thinking about it but feel unsure or shy, this is the most caring expert, and you'll feel safe and in good hands. Will I go again? Yes. Do I recommend him from the heart? Yes.

I had 9 sessions with Gor. From the very first one you feel his attention, support and warmth. I do a lot of sport and came to him after a knee injury (I fell off my bike and damaged the ligaments). Gor worked not just on the leg but on my whole body, putting me back together piece by piece. Now I move more freely, lighter and more smoothly than before the fall. I want to run again. The conversations are a nice bonus too: Gor is interesting to talk to. He's far from my first massage therapist. If you just want a gentle rub, this isn't the place. This is about real, sensible care for your body, and you can trust him with deep work and rehabilitation.

I finally managed to get a massage with Gor. In short: wow. I've done amateur ballet for about 10 years and was still unhappy with my posture. After the massage I understood what was missing: deep tissue work on the chest, which no therapist in St Petersburg had done for me before. Today I've been walking with a straight back all day without any effort. A real discovery. One deep tissue session straightened me out faster than 10 years of ballet. Thank you, Gor, for your golden hands, your skill and your lovely energy.

If you want to know what a real, effective massage feels like, go to Gor. Not a millimetre of my body was left untouched, and I learned a lot about how to make the effect last. The aches I came in with were gone after the very first session. I've realised it's better not to wait until something hurts but to have a massage at least once a month; your body will thank you. With Gor it's comfortable, positive and warm.

My first massage with Gor. Before we started we talked about my health; after listening to my complaints and wishes, Gor gave simple, practical advice on how I could improve my quality of life beyond massage. I felt cared for throughout the session. Afterwards my body felt light and my muscles noticeably relaxed. I got home and fell asleep earlier than usual, and slept soundly. I liked everything and will come again.

I've been seeing Gor for four years and feel great despite back injuries and an unsuccessful operation. Thank you for letting me keep doing sport and feel well. I'd recommend coming here even with difficult problems.
