About
Twenty-four years of working with clients' bodies has taught me what really works—and what doesn't. I've spent nearly a quarter-century learning how to listen to what your muscles are telling me, especially when it comes to the chronic pain that most people just learn to live with.
I'm licensed in both massage therapy and physical therapy, which gives me a deeper understanding of your body's needs than either credential alone. I studied massage in India and later in New York, training in deep tissue, Swedish, Thai, sports massage, and Rolfing. But it's my trigger point work that clients keep coming back for—I specialize in melting away those stubborn knots that settle into your traps, lower neck, and lumbar area where stress loves to hide.
I've worked extensively with the LGBTQ community for two decades, and that experience has shaped how I approach every session. I welcome all body types, and I create a safe environment where healing and stress relief actually happen. When you're on my table—whether in my Fort Lauderdale studio or at your home—you get someone who's spent thousands of hours learning exactly how to release the tension your shoulders, scapula, and deltoids are holding onto from daily stress and poor posture.
I always tell my clients the same things: be mindful of your posture, it'll reduce so much tension. Drink plenty of water afterward—it matters for your overall health. The benefits you'll feel are real. Improved circulation, a stronger immune system, better muscle tone, reduced tension. But most of all, you'll feel the relaxation and calmness your body's been missing. I offer both in-studio sessions and mobile massage therapy, serving Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas within a 5-mile radius.

Testimonials
My first massage with Pablo won't be my last. He delivered an excellent Swedish massage with just the right pressure. I told him what I needed and everything that followed was magic. I recommend him highly—you won't be disappointed.
Pablo greeted me at the door with a warm smile and set the tone for a comfortable yet vigorous massage. One of the best I've ever had.
Pablo was referred to me by a client of his, and I'm very pleased with the results. My neck carries a lot of tension from standing all day at work. He massaged my upper back and neck, removing all that tension and tightness. His deep tissue work is the best I've had in my entire life. Highly recommend.
This was my first deep tissue massage ever, and I was a little nervous. Pablo made me feel at home and at ease. He takes time to know his clients and gives tips for daily pain relief. I did 90 minutes and didn't even notice the time passing. When he works, you feel the pain, knots, and tension leaving your body. By the end, I had virtually no pain in my neck, upper back, or lower back. Swelling in my legs diminished significantly.
Professional, relaxing, and effective. I work out regularly and often need massage for soreness and fatigue. He's always available, and I leave feeling so refreshed. I'll definitely be back. Would absolutely recommend to any serious gym enthusiast.
Pablo went very deep with the massage. He got to all my knots and made sure I felt relaxed the whole time. Very accommodating and even added more pressure when I asked. He clearly knows what he's doing. You won't be disappointed.
I had intense neck and upper back pain to the point I couldn't move my neck. Pablo gave me an incredible deep tissue massage on the problem areas, and I felt completely relaxed when I left the table. The pain is gone, and I can move my neck again. He's an amazing therapist and healer.
I came to Pablo with an injured rotator cuff that was so bad I could barely lift weight at the gym. I asked him to focus mainly on my shoulders and back. Pablo is a hidden gem of South Florida. His ability to maneuver through my muscles was incredible. He knew exactly what was wrong without me explaining much. I'm now able to lift as I did before the injury. I still feel some discomfort, but that's a huge improvement after just one session.
This is my fifth visit with Pablo, and his professional massage is as excellent as the four before. I suffer from chronic lower back issues, and my neck and traps are always extremely tight. I leave his sessions able to move my neck again, with traps relieved of knots and lower back feeling better. Highly recommend.
Deep tissue done right. I've had many massages, most in NYC with a great therapist. In two years in South Florida I hadn't found anyone who performed deep tissue correctly until now. He actually listened to my issues and addressed them. He's strong with excellent technique, and I left feeling thoroughly worked on. He told me I'd be sore the next day, and I was a bit, but my issues feel so much better. His massage did the trick. I'll definitely be back.
Pablo is by far the best massage therapist I've encountered. I recommend him highly.
After years of emotional and physical stress, my body was stiff with painful knots and my posture was poor, making exercise and daily tasks difficult. I needed a massage therapist who could take command of my body and bring healing. I also needed someone confident and passionate about his craft. Pablo's professionalism and quick response gave me confidence I'd made the right choice. From the moment he arrived, his attention to detail, assessment of my needs, and focus on my comfort throughout an incredible two-hour massage was impressive. Days later I'm still feeling the healing effects. I have more flexibility, range of motion without pain, and renewed energy. If you want the real deal, call him now.
Pablo is an excellent massage therapist. He's able to de-knot areas that no one else could touch. His work ethic is impeccable, and I highly recommend him.
I needed a massage badly, not having had one in over a year. I had lots of knots and stress to address. I'd seen Pablo's ad before, and when I spotted a special 2-hour offer for $150, I texted him. He responded immediately, and the appointment was set. His space is easy to find with plenty of free parking. He warmly welcomed me into his spotlessly clean home. He used almond oil and incorporated several techniques and strokes, including gentle stretching throughout the full-body massage. Highly recommend to anyone with knots and lower back pain.
Pablo is a great healer. I came to him with intense lower back pain. He explained that the lumbar area was surrounded with knots and extreme tightness. He used a combination of deep tissue and trigger point massage, and I feel great now. Highly recommend.
Five-star massage. Pablo has worked on me several times. He has great hands and the strength to work out knots in my neck and back from an old accident. He's extremely professional and easy to work with on scheduling. He offers several options based on your needs. Highly recommend.
I felt relaxed the moment I walked in. Pablo made sure he worked on the knots in my shoulders and traps. He gives outstanding deep tissue massages. Highly recommend to anyone seeking an amazing massage with a relaxing and serene experience.
I have regular massages from numerous therapists, and Pablo is as good as they get. Very happy to have met him. His technical and intuitive knowledge were spot-on for identifying and working my problem areas. Not many massage therapists understand how to properly work deep into the muscle like Pablo. I'll be back every chance I get.
This is my fourth visit with Pablo, and he continues to deliver. He's always tuned in to what my body needs. His techniques are outstanding. My job creates intense stress in my neck, upper back, and lower back, but after a session with him I feel brand new. Highly recommend.
Pablo was amazing. I feel so much better. Loved it. Can't wait for another massage.
Pablo keeps a soothing environment with candles and soft music. He really worked out the knots in my back, and I left feeling relaxed and restored. He's a very skilled massage therapist, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to relax and unwind.
Very easy to schedule, super nice and polite. I'm a multi-system trauma patient, and Pablo worked with me to provide the best possible relief. Very deep tissue massage with nice relaxing techniques mixed in to ensure I enjoyed it.
Pablo is an excellent massage therapist. If you're looking for professional massage with great skills, I'd certainly recommend him.
The experience with Pablo is always wonderful. His environment is clean, and he's very professional. I've had massages before, but he's by far the best. Highly recommend if you want a really good massage therapist.
I've been searching for a deep tissue specialist and finally found one. Pablo's hands are the strongest I've felt from any massage therapist in a long time. By far the best massage I've had in years. Highly recommend.
Pablo was amazing. Very strong hands and applied absolutely the right amount of pressure. Very intuitive and worked every knot out of my neck and back. His massage is top-notch and among the best. Highly recommended.
I woke up with severe upper back and neck pain. After reading all the reviews on Pablo's profile, I knew he was the person I needed. That's exactly what he delivered. Highly recommend—by far the best massage therapist I've been to.
This is a recommendation for the massage services provided by Pablo. I've used him for several years and highly recommend him. His technique is like no one else. I've had back pain for many years, and Pablo has a way of relieving it for days after his sessions. Highly recommend.
I suffer from severe back pain affecting my sciatic nerves, and Pablo was very effective with his massage techniques. Deep but appropriately firm work that included stretching. I felt brand new afterward. This is a very serious and professional massage therapist.
My partner and I had back-to-back appointments. Pablo is all business, not much small talk. It was a serious massage, and this guy knows what he's doing. He hit places and worked knots I never knew I had. He's our new Fort Lauderdale massage guy.
Pablo is the best I've experienced. His technique and knowledge of deep tissue massage are beyond perfect. He removed all my tension and tightness from my neck down to my lower back.
Pablo is very professional, friendly, punctual, and an awesome massage therapist. He massaged both my husband and myself. I hold stress in parts of my back and he knew exactly where to focus immediately. The day after the massage, I could move in ways I hadn't in years. Highly recommend.
I was in a serious car accident and couldn't move my neck or lower back afterward. Pablo's massage technique decreased pain in both areas, especially the lumbar region where he melted away all the knots with his skilled knowledge. His work was amazing.
I've had intense lower back pain for years and tried many therapists in the area. Pablo is by far the best. He worked all the knots and tension away. I felt lighter and relaxed, and now I can actually move my neck again. Excellent massage.
I had a knot under my left shoulder blade for over a year. Regular massages every 2-3 weeks with other therapists couldn't relieve the pain. After one session with Pablo, I already felt relief. He explained his training is in trigger point therapy and knows exactly how to get knots worked out. Other therapists would poke until the knot was even more inflamed, but Pablo's firm deep pressure never hurt. I can't thank him enough and have already booked another session.
I came to Pablo with intense neck, upper back, and lower back pain, plus chronic lower back issues. He was very intuitive from the start and knew exactly where all my tension was. He's by far the best deep tissue massage therapist I've come across. He released every knot from my neck down to my lower back. I woke up the next day feeling better than I have in a long time, and I can finally move my neck side to side. Pablo's the best.
It was an excellent technical massage. I'll be back for the outstanding deep tissue work he did on my back and shoulders. I also appreciated that he accommodated my schedule when I had to get from one meeting to another on time.
I heard about Pablo through a friend who raved about how deep and amazing the massage was. Most massage people nowadays just touch you and call it a day, so I started referring people to him knowing he was the real deal. Everyone I referred came back saying the same thing—this guy's the real deal. Pablo thanked me for the referrals but wanted me to experience it myself so I knew what I was referring people to. It's been a long time since I'd had a massage, mainly from lack of time. I finally made an appointment and really treated myself to a real deep and healing massage. I could feel the knots he worked on in my back and shoulders—it was painful but good painful. My nose ran and my muscles got sore, but he kept going until the last knot was gone. I felt dizzy after and very thirsty. If you're looking for the real deal, this is your person. I'll keep referring people to Pablo, now knowing firsthand what a treat and healing experience I'm sending them to.
I woke with the worst neck pain and couldn't turn my head fully to the right. I felt a huge knot on my upper right back and traps. I called Pablo and he got me in quickly. He melted the knots away and worked tirelessly on my upper back and neck to bring me relief. He's the best I've ever met.
Pablo provided one of the best massages I've ever experienced. He was extremely good at finding problem areas without my mentioning them. He balanced deep tissue work with soothing relaxation, treating my issues while providing a pleasurable experience. Simply excellent. Highly recommend—truly among the very best.
Had my fifth or sixth appointment with Pablo. He's amazing and gets out all the tension I hold as an athlete through very deep tissue massage. I recommend him to any and everyone.
It was my first massage with Pablo, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. He gave a very strong massage and focused on the areas I needed, particularly my neck and back. Very professional and friendly.
Just had my first massage with Pablo and it won't be my last. One word: amazing. He made me feel so relaxed. I didn't want it to end. Thank you, and I'll be back.
Pablo gave me deep tissue massage twice. I'd had major back surgery and needed an experienced therapist who understood how to work with different muscle groups after realignment and help muscles relax. He got me more mobile and eased my lower back pain. I get massage every other week and will be back regularly. Anyone with minor to serious back problems should definitely see him.
24 hours after my deep tissue massage and I feel great. Pablo did an excellent job releasing tension in my shoulder blades and improving my overall range of motion. He also incorporated stretching at the end to loosen my hamstrings and provided bottled water for hydration. Pablo was very professional and personable, which heightened the whole experience. Highly recommend for deep tissue work.
I haven't had a massage in years, so I'm glad I found Pablo. He did an excellent job. Not only did he give an incredible massage, but he was friendly and professional. I'm definitely coming back soon.
As a sports coach and athlete, I've had many massages over the years, but none with these results. I've seen Pablo twice this month and have a third scheduled—I can't wait. I've never been so relaxed and pleased with a massage. I have no plans to go anywhere else.
I got a fantastic deep tissue massage from Pablo. He's a professional, and his studio is professional too. Great technique. I'll be back.
As a local realtor, I've been to Pablo for several deep tissue massages. He's just excellent at what he does. I keep going back. Give him a try and you'll love him.
I was on vacation and pulled a muscle exercising. Pablo healed it using a combination of Thai and Swedish massage, melting away the pain exactly as needed. I've never felt better. Pablo's a master, and I recommend him highly.
Pablo was great. Nice guy, talented therapist. I felt excellent afterward, and I'm very particular. My last therapist moved away, and I think I've found my new one. Everything was great, but I especially appreciated his work on my hips and feet, often neglected by others. He's very intuitive and knew when to let a muscle rest and come back to it later. He also made excellent use of his forearms and elbows without overpowering.
I want to express my ongoing appreciation for Pablo's superior massages. I've known him for a couple of years, and his work exceeds every other massage therapist I've used. I need deep tissue due to neck and back issues, so I book 90-minute sessions. Pablo zeros in on the areas and uses his forearms, elbows, and strong hands to break up knots that form from daily living and exercise. I notice distinct looseness in my back and shoulders after his massage that lasts until my next one. He tailors his work to your needs and desires, and I'm very pleased. Highly recommend.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients consistently praise Pablo's exceptional deep tissue and trigger point technique, particularly his ability to locate and release stubborn knots in the neck, traps, shoulders, and lower back that other therapists have missed. His dual licensing in massage therapy and physical therapy, combined with 24 years of hands-on experience, allows him to understand complex pain patterns and deliver lasting relief—many clients report feeling significantly better for days or weeks after a single session.
Beyond technical skill, reviewers highlight his professionalism, intuitive assessment of problem areas, and ability to accommodate diverse client needs and schedules, creating a welcoming environment whether in his Fort Lauderdale studio or through mobile visits. Athletes, trauma survivors, desk workers, and people with chronic pain all report transformative results and often become long-term regular clients.

FAQ
What's the cost of a deep tissue massage in Fort Lauderdale?
A 60-minute deep tissue session is $140, and 90 minutes is $180. Both prices reflect the standard Fort Lauderdale rate for this level of skilled bodywork.
Does Pablo do mobile massage in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. I offer mobile massage therapy throughout Fort Lauderdale and up to 5 miles surrounding the area. I bring my table, candles, and music to create a healing environment in your home.
What massage technique works best for chronic lower back pain?
Deep tissue combined with trigger point therapy is most effective for chronic lower back pain. I focus on the lumbar area and surrounding muscles, releasing the knots that form from daily tension and poor posture.
Is there a massage therapist in Fort Lauderdale who specializes in Rolfing?
Yes. I'm trained in Rolfing along with deep tissue, Swedish, Thai, and sports massage. My approach combines these techniques based on what your body needs in that session.

What should I do after a deep tissue massage?
Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage. You may feel a bit sore the next day if we worked deep knots—that's normal and a sign the work was effective.

Booking ahead is best to guarantee your time slot. However, I can sometimes fit in walk-ins depending on the day. Reach out and ask—I respond quickly to inquiries.
