In clinical massage, the ultimate focus is on functional outcomes. Rather than using one modality in a session, I use my skill set to treat injuries and conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. My Mission is to provide pain relief and improve your health and well being. By approaching massage from a medical perspective, I can determine the root of physical pain and or tension to focus on the problem.
I enjoy helping others achieve a better quality of life through self maintenance and care. Serr began practicing massage in 2005. He studied at the accredited and nationally recognized Swedish in New York, NY where he earned his Associate in Occupational Studies. From 2005-2009 he worked in medical offices with medical doctors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, and chiropractors.

This was one of the best massages ever. Max is fabulous. He has a very calming energy and helped me feel really comfortable.
He asked me many questions to make sure the massage was being directed the right way and works with many different modalities, including pressure points with deep tissue which I loved. And, as someone else said, Max is definitely not a cookie-cutter masseuse. He knows what he's doing and does it really well. I'll be definitely recommending him and plan to go back.

Max is not a cookie cutter massage therapist. He worked on my problem areas in ways I've never had done and I actually felt knots popping when he wasnt touching them. Very relaxing and different approach. I will be back for sure! If your on the fence go!
Update: woke up the morning after my massage and for the first time in a LONG time I don't feel like my neck is connected by two thick rubberbands fighting.

Serr was absolutely fantastic! I'm a heavy lifter and get knots in my back and neck quite often. Serr was not only able to get all of my knots out but he also taught me stretches I should be doing to help be preventative. I currently live in Los Angeles and will travel once a month to visit Serr because he's the only person I've found to cure any back problems I've had.

Where to begin?! First of all, this is not your generic deep massage. Max took the time to ask about my prior medical history in terms of my musculoskeletal system. The massage itself was very unique in the sense that it felt more like stretching combined with pressure as opposed to the typical pressure alone that I've experienced in other massages. I could tell that not only was he very knowledgeable about the anatomy of the body, but the physiology as well. He listened to my body and addressed it needs so well that I was able to completely relax, despite the intense (but satisfying) pain

So much more than a regular massage! Max tailors everything to you and your body's needs. Every session is different. He will ask you how you've been feeling and what areas have been bothering you. Not only will he work on the area, he will give you tips on how to prevent this and the reasoning behind it.
Max is really knowledgeable and professional. 10 stars!

Great experience with Serrvasana Clinical Massage Therapy, from start to finish. I decided to try it because I saw a Groupon, but now am scheduling my next visit at full price because of the terrific results.
Max is awesome, and really seems to understand anatomy and how the body works. I'm struggling with a shoulder problem (tendonitis, and impingement) and have been taking my doctor's advice for 3 months with no improvement at all. One visit to Serrvasana and I am feeling much better. I can't wait for my next visit, and to see the improvement continue.
The ambiance is boho

I had an AWESOME experience. I got my first massage through a deal on Groupon. Booking the massage was extremely easy through the website. Because of work, I ended up cancelling and re-booking twice. It took less than a minute to schedule, cancel and re-book.
As far as the massage goes, I was extremely impressed by Max's technique and background in massage therapy. It was evident that he is very knowledgeable on how to customize a massage to your needs. I've had a lot of massages, and this one was by far the least frills and most targeted to working out all the painful and/or injured

I had a great first experience with massage at Serrvasana. Max was very professional and asked questions to customize the massage to my personal needs. Beautiful location hidden in Ocean Beach on Newport. Great first time special as well. I would highly recommend his service especially for athletes or those with injury. This is not a generic massage. He is very knowledgeable and customizes the massage for your body.

This guy really knows how to give a massage. It's not a generic "ready-made" massage. If you let him know specifically what you want to address, he will know how to address it. I went in because my right shoulder, through years of driving and sleeping on my right side, was sloping forward. I let Serr know this, and he used several different techniques to properly stretch out the muscles that needed attention, and gave great advice on how to continue my progress post-massage.
At the end of the day, you know the difference between a $30 massage and a $70 massage, and this guy is worth

Max is very knowledgable and really concentrated on my problem areas. I was worried that having a deep tissue massage will leave me sore because I am often too sensitive with deeper pressure. But Max knew the trigger points, which made it such a relaxing experience. I even slightly dozed off. I immediately felt the improvement. I surely will come back for another appointment.
This massage is a great accompaniment to my stretching, yoga, pilates, barre, and aerial classes.

Initially I was hesitant to try a male therapist but I am so happy I tried Serr! He has a more thorough approach than most. Not only did he help me to achieve greater range of motion in my shoulders and neck but I left my first session feeling energized! I have seen Serr many times since and each time has been great. He even teaches yoga!! If you are looking for a therapist who is well trained, intelligent, cares about his clients and has years of experience you are making a great choice with Serr.
