João deserves the highest possible rating as a massage therapist. He is truly well trained and experienced. He lived in Thailand for more than a year just to study massage. He is extremely professional and approaches each session thoughtfully, carefully considering where I am having muscle pain, soreness, or tightness, and adjusting as needed. I have received a lot of Thai massages, including in different countries in the Americas and Europe, and João is one of the best therapists I have ever worked with. Notably, sessions are priced very competitively - an excellent value. I really can't recommend him highly enough! (He is also fluent in English and nice enough to let me practice my Portuguese with him even though his English is much better than my Portuguese.)
