Hello, my name is Viktor. I'm a certified massage therapist. Welcome to my website!

I have two certificates in massage therapy: one from Russia and one from the U.S., along with several years of experience.


My specialty is very deep tissue massage. With each massage I work for the results. If you're looking to relieve or get rid of discomfort and pain in your body, I will help you.


During the massage, I can either work on your entire body or concentrate on specific problem areas.

Try my massage, and your body will tell you everything you need to know. After all, the body doesn’t lie!

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE SESSIONS?

It depends on the individual and the current condition of your muscles.


If the goal is general relief, some people feel improvement after just one or two sessions.


For more chronic or long-standing muscular issues, a more consistent schedule tends to produce better results.

In my experience, clients get the most benefit when they begin with a short series of sessions scheduled closer together - typically 2 to 3 times per week. Muscles adapt to consistent work. When sessions are too far apart, the body tends to return to its previous state, and each session starts more from the surface level again. With more frequent sessions in the beginning, the body is able to release tension more efficiently and progress becomes more noticeable over time.

A typical starting series may include around 8-10 sessions, depending on your condition. After that, it's helpful to take a short break (about 2-4 weeks) to allow the body to integrate the work. After the initial phase, most clients transition into maintenance sessions once or twice a month to support long-term results.


This is why I recommend to do a course of 10 massages in a row (2-3 times a week) rather than go once a month for 10 months.


Of course, you're always welcome to come in as often as it works best for you. This is simply my professional perspective, based on experience and what tends to bring the best outcomes over time.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM VIKTOR'S MASSAGE?

If you need to get rid of pain and discomfort in your body, then come to me. If you are looking for quiet music and a dark room, then my ambiance most likely will not suit you. I like to perform massage to more energetic music than is usually expected and in a bright room. You will not be offered additional services here such as warm collars, aroma oils, etc.


Deep Tissue Recovery Center is a place where I want to help people who suffer from:


  1. headaches
  2. stiffness in joints
  3. pain in the lower back and limbs
  4. pain in jaws
  5. pain in glutes
  6. limbs numbness
  7. pain when turning or tilting the head
  8. back pain and more.


Viktor's massage is for those who experience a feeling of stiffness both in individual muscles and throughout the body. My slogan is "Spread Your Wings". Come to me and I'll fix you!

HOW SOON CAN I WORK OUT AFTER A MASAGE?

I recommend to start serious training no earlier than 2 weeks after the massage course is finished so you can feel the full effect of it. You should give your body time to heal and regulate processes in soft tissues after the massage. After that I would recommend to implement stretching into your workout routine and stretch muscles no less time that you spend on strength training.

WHY ARE MY MUSCLES TENSE AND IT HURTS?

Muscle problems do not appear out of nowhere and usually many people have had them for a long time (from several months to several years) in their body, but they do not know about it until a certain time.

Stress, sudden muscle strain as a result of an uncomfortable movement, long static loads, muscle overtraining, these and other factors, as a rule, are the trigger for the transition from the latent phase of muscle problems to the acute phase.


Muscles have a huge reserve of strength, but if a muscle is in a tense state for a long time, then sooner or later it begins to “scream SOS” and only then a person begins to feel pain and discomfort.

In such a muscle (or part of the muscle) the metabolism is reduced, the blood circulates poorly, and accordingly the muscle (part of the muscle) does not receive enough nutrition/oxygen.


Tense areas can form in the bundles of muscle fibers , which are called trigger points, which are capable of spasming the entire muscle. Such muscle loses functionality, weakens, cannot fully stretch or contract. As a result, neighboring muscles partially take on their load and after some time also begin to overstrain/get tired.


Later, the muscles become fibrotic, that is, the muscle tissue is replaced by connective tissue (analogous to scar tissue) and the muscles completely lose their elasticity. The fascia (protective film for muscles and various organs) around the muscles that are not working at full strength "stick together" and this can also cause discomfort and pain. It is not possible to cure such problems with medication. Mechanical work is necessary. Victor's massage is aimed at working with such problems.


For a more in-depth look at this topic, I recommend reading the books: Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain - by Donna Finando & Steven Finando and Anatomy Trains - by Thomas W. Myers.

IS IT PAINFUL?

If a muscle is tense, then pressure on it will cause pain or discomfort. If a muscle is healthy and relaxed, then any pressure will not cause any pain.


In my work, I try to work on the fine line between comfort and discomfort for each patient. Sometimes my work can cause discomfort, but this happens briefly and not throughout the entire massage session.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Bring a sportswear (shorts/top). Or you can lie under the sheet to receive a massage that I will provide.

CAN YOU DO MASSAGE AT MY LOCATION?

Yes, I can do it.
