Overview

I am an experienced Chinese therapist from Houston that provides therapeutic bodywork (TBW) services to MEN of all shape/size/ethnicity/sexual orientation. Session is conducted in a quiet/clean/calm/soothing environment.

TBW's benefits: to improve circulation/sleep; relieve tension/anxiety/stress; promote relaxation.

My focus 9 years ago was on Acupressure&Reflexology (A&R) on head/arms/body/legs/feet & Swedish massage. Last 7 years, I have acquired & performed more techniques like Deep Tissue, Tui-Na, Shiatsu,Trigger Point and continued to improve A&R knowledge.

A&R uses acupressure technique to known reflex points on the head/body/arms/legs/feet to stimulate "Qi" (aka energy) to flow in body.

A&R's benefits: to relieve pain from MS/Fibromyalgia/ Chemotherapy/ Neuropathy/ Plantar Fasciitis; to strengthen Immune system; to ease Migraine/ chronic Sinusitis; to improve blood flow to Kidney/Intestines & most of all is to complement Cancer care.

Vic's massage is simply top notch! He provides an excellent massage that my neck, back, arms, and legs felt nice and loose afterwards. I want to thanks him for giving me the feeling and blood circulation back in my legs and feet. You are well trained and great at your craft and managed to get me completely relaxed. He is the real deal and thanks so much and you will see me again and again...

I’ve been going to see Vic consistently for over two years now. He’s likely the best masseur I’ve ever experienced. Hence why I continue to go. My body is very important to me and I like to make sure it gets worked on well and thoroughly from someone who understands the body greatly. When I go to Vic I know that my needs will be taken care of and that he’ll be able to find the spots that may need some extra care. After sessions I always amazing and relaxed and decompressed. Vic is always happy to listen to my concerns and needs, works on them, and is always happy to give advice and knowledge of movement and stretching to greater help me. I appreciate him greatly for his service that he provides and recommend anyone that’s seeking a great massage.

From the moment he arrived I found Vic to be very welcoming, kind, professional and respectful. Once the massage begins, you immediately know you're in good hands with someone who knows how to give you an enjoyable and relaxing yet therapeutic experience.
He applies the right amount of pressure and is very focused on you during your time on his table with minimal talking. He is obviously well trained, experienced and enjoys what he does. Afterwards, we had a very nice conversation and Vic gave me some tips on stretching to further relieve a stiff neck and shoulder. 5 Stars *****.

Vic is a skilled and talented massage therapist who has knowledge and expertise in multiple modalities, but is especially skilled in acupressure and reflexology. He is adept at finding and identifying the pressure-points to release built-up tension.

I have known Vic for several years and besides being a talented therapist, he is also a very warm, kind, and gentle soul. I love his therapeutic massage and I appreciate his kindness and embracing nature.

I went to see Vic at a moment when I was in a real crisis. I had wrenched myself and had a terrible mid-back spasm from all the sitting I do at work. It hurt to breathe and walk. I was very lucky (and Vic was incredibly kind) because I got in at the very last minute (I reached out only about an hour before I showed up). I left very sore (because of
the spasm) but able to move and breathe without problem. It was miraculous. I now see Victor as often as I can manage and I haven't had a recurrence of the spasms.
His studio is clean, quiet, and soothing. He is both incredibly precise and incredibly strong--I've rarely seen a
therapist manage to be both. I've had very good therapists in the past, to be clear. No disrespect to them, but Vic clearly is on another level entirely. He has a deep understanding of muscular and skeletal structures, and he has mastered both massage and reflexology. His prices
are more than reasonable for such skill and professionalism. Vic is indispensable

I have been a steady client of Vic for more than five years, and I consider his talents in reflexology and massage therapy to be an essential part of my medical care. When I first consulted Vic, mostly I wanted reflexology to improve recovery from the sports I enjoy, such as cycling and yoga. But four years ago I was diagnosed suddenly with a rare form of congenital blood cancer and told I had only three months to live unless I was willing to endure a long course of aggressive chemotherapy. All told, I did chemotherapy for three years and developed both Type I- and Type II-diabetes. The chemotherapy also caused extensive peripheral neuropathy in my hands and feet, but it also kept me alive. I relied heavily on Vic during this period of treatment and I really don't know what I would have done without him. He is very knowledgeable in anatomy and physiology, as well as nutrition and healing. Vic is very friendly and cheerful and just going to his studio for a massage really lifts my spirits. I recommend his services in the highest terms. If you have never tried reflexology (I usually get a 90-minutes massage with about one-half of the time spent on reflexology of the feet), you will be very surprised at the wide variety of benefits. And on the days that I have a massage from Vic, I always sleep very well that night!

I cannot describe how grateful I am of Vic. I have been living with chronic upper back pain for MANY years, and have received massages regularly from others but the pain would return in 2 days. I took my time to write this review to really see the effects, because it’s been weeks now and my pain has not returned! Vic hands and methods are magical. He knew exactly what to do, he gave full and careful attention to my neck and upper back, and finished off with an amazing full body massage that I enjoyed thoroughly. He really knows what he is doing, employing techniques I had never experienced before and giving me a truly relaxing experience. Above all of it was his great personality: he’s fun, respectful and friendly. I thought I would live in pain for the rest of my life... so I'm very grateful, and 1000% recommend Vic!

My experience with Vic has been nothing but an exceptional experience. Being new to the area I have booked a few therapists but none compare to the experience I've had with Vic's services. Vic suggested I try 30 minutes reflexology to my 60 minute massage and I am so glad I did. I can definitely feel the difference in my feet as I suffer from neuropathy issues, my body feels great. I am one happy client and will continue to book with Vic. Book with Vic you want regret it!

Vic’s combination deep tissue massage and foot reflexology session is amazing. He has a great manner and is very responsive to meeting the needs of the client. He takes time to understand the issues that you want addressed and checks in during the massage to ensure you are comfortable and satisfied. The attention to the feet during the reflexology portion is unmatched. I recommend his services and look forward to my next session with Vic.
Service: 90 minutes massage followed by 30 minutes foot reflexology.

Vic is a kind, gentle and friendly masseur. When I arrived at his studio, he first asked me about the way I prefer to have my massage (like the pressure level). The massage table was very comfortable and his hands were very efficient (the right tension that I needed). The massage includes the whole body (and even the ears (acupressure points), which is very relaxing) and all of that is done very gently. I will be definitely coming back soon.

July 29, 2020 in Houston, TX (in-studio)

I booked a 60 minute body massage with an additional 30 minutes dedicated to my feet. Vic was the ultimate gentleman and professional massage therapist that truly found the trouble spots and patiently worked to release stress and knots. The day after my massage, I woke up feeling better than a long time. I'm ready to book my next appointment soon.

Feb. 14, 2020 in Houston, TX (in-studio)

I booked a 60-minute massage and 30 minutes of foot reflexology. Vic applied his knowledge of trigger points during the great massage to relieve tension and pain and to soothe my muscles, but I was even more impressed with the reflexology session. I'm a runner, and Vic's reflexology technique was both very relaxing and therapeutic -- easily the best foot massage I've experienced over decades of running. Vic's private studio is clean, quiet and comfortable, and he was very thorough, attentive, skillful and friendly. There's no question that my time on Vic's table was money well-spent.

Vic gave me a unique massage. He understands energy flow and trigger points really well. I feel relaxed and energized several hours after the massage was finished. He is kind, he has good hands and he made me feel comfortable the whole time.

May 17, 2019 in Houston, TX (in-studio)

Vic is wonderful! I went for a 90 min much needed massage. He has great technique with pressure points and deep massage. He mentioned reflexology during my massage. So I asked if he could do thirty minutes of foot reflexology. He did. And it exceeded my expectations. I always had discounted it as a good foot rub. It got rid of my foot, leg and glute muscle pain, numbness and tingling from diabetic neuropathy. Plus my legs have more feeling and strength. I’m sold! I’m so glad I found Vic. A satisfied customer.

Feb. 23, 2019 in Destin, FL (mobile)

I booked a 60 minute massage with Vic and it was the best I have ever had. His knowledge of pressure points, massage techniques and in depth strokes was the best I have ever had. He makes the other massages I have had with others appear lame by comparison. He also doesn't use the heavy oily lotions that make you feel all greasy. Book an appointment with Vic and you will not be sorry.

Vic is the best massage therapist in Houston He combines Eastern and Western massage techniques to give you relief from pain and stress. He is passionate about his work and caring for his clients. Since I suffer from diabetic foot pain and tendonitis, I tacked on a 30 min. foot reflexology to the 6o min. massage. This provided pain relief for several days. Best of all is that Vic offers his expertise at very affordable prices. You won't regret seeing Vic for a massage, foot reflexology, or better yet, both!
