    I saw Daniel for the first time a few years ago after a bike accident and nothing else worked. I walked out of there feeling CURED. I had another massage with him yesterday and was reminded of just how talented he is.

    He is an amazing massage therapist. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the body, muscles, tendons, alignment, etc. He will do an assessment of your posture and alignment standing up before working on you, starting from how the arches of your feet fall and which leg is stronger, your knee and hip alignment, all the way up to your head. He knows what he is doing.

    Daniel is passionate and knowledgeable about his work and continues his education of different techniques (i.e. he's currently studying some new somatic therapy techniques). Like many people have said, he's different - but in an amazing way. He will go further than other massage therapists you've seen, because he's GOOD and knows exactly what needs to be done to fix you up right.

    A massage with Daniel is not for the conservative types or bodily shy - he will twist and turn you and the sheet may shift, he will massage your glutes and push on your sacrum, he may get on the table to have more leverage to work on your back  - these are things most people are not used to in a massage. He's not violating you, he's getting where he needs to go to make you feel AMAZING. It can be an odd feeling to have someone other than a lover touching you in certain areas, but those are often the areas that need some love! But if you're not down with that, just don't go to him. But if you go with an open mind, you will not be disappointed. He works hard to make you feel good. He breathes deeply when working on you to encourage you to breathe so the muscles will release as you exhale - also because he is working HARD.

    I've never once felt like he was inappropriate - he's just doing the best he possibly can to make you feel good. If you're uncomfortable with him getting near any area, just say so before he starts and be conscious of the sheet moving. He also almost always goes over what you've paid for because he wants to finish working on what he knows needs to be addressed.

    His prices are moderate for the area, but once you include the fact that he gives discounts to students, teachers, non-profit employees, etc, and if you go during 'off hours' AND the fact that he almost always goes over the amount of time you've paid for - it's an incredible deal.

    DO YOUR BODY GOOD AND GET A MASSAGE FROM DANIEL! Just relax and let him do his job. And if you're the type who wears a bra to your massage (right where massage therapists spend most of their time?), you are not the type to get a massage from Daniel.

    PEOPLE OF COLOR, DO NOT GO HERE!!! I bought a massage for my friend, a black man, as a birthday present. Basically Gerzon spent the whole time saying weird eugenicist shit to him, talking about how African people have such different genes, they're built for athleticism because of the bush or whatever, repeatedly saying my friend is "built like a Ferrari" while he RUBS MY FRIEND'S BODY. WHAT THE EFF. I basically paid $100 for this guy to say racist garbage to my friend for an hour. He talked my friend's ear off with neo Darwinist DRIVEL instead of giving a THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE.

    ALSO it was just a straight up bad massage, the body work was like doing little exercises and bending limbs with a little massage thrown in.

    IF YOU'RE NOT WHITE DON'T GO HERE BECAUSE THEIR CREEPY MASSEUSES WILL EXOTICIZE YOU AND NOT EVEN RUB YOU DOWN RIGHT FOR YOUR TROUBLE.

    Revive down the street is much better and I have yet to witness someone espouse racialized pseudo science there!!!

    I visited Mr. Gerzon's office for a 90 minute massage that lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes. To shape expectations, the term massage therapist isn't accurate for him.... BODY MECHANIC is more appropriate. This wasn't a relaxing, pampering session that one would get in most spas. He inspected my posture, alignment, and took a lot of time with my vertebrae as he found some irregularities. The treatment was awesome!!!

    I left pain free, with improved posture and slept like a baby following.

    Daniel is a gifted in the realm of massage therapy, specifically body work. He'll engage you to learn about your self and the holistic vision of what he is doing (and will accomplish!). He will talk you through how to feel better not just then, but to take that feeling with you during your day to day.

    I visited Daniel because I was experiencing some neck pain and general muscle soreness as I workout 6-7 times a week. I've never received real "body work" only messages at spas so wasn't sure what to expect. My first impression of Daniel was extremely friendly, caring, and quirky (very chatty as well :)). He did a 30 minute assessment and we chatted about my workout routine and where I felt the most sore. I scheduled an hour long appointment but i went well over 2 hours, which he didn't charge me for (in fact, he apologized and gave me an additional 10% discount). Overall, it was very relaxing and provided a great sense of relief. I'd warn anyone who's sensitive about touching around private areas (although, this is pretty typical for a deep athletic massage...). I never felt violated or uncomfortable as Daniel is extremely professional and is only doing his job. I will continue going back to Daniel and look forward to the long-term results.
