Dario is an incredible bodywork specialist. In just a quick hour, I have more range of motion in my neck and shoulders than I've had in the last few months. He's kind, professional, and communicative and also gives you some advice for maintenance. I can't recommend him enough!

Ryan provided an exceptional massage experience. Looking forward to more bookings down the road. From start to finish, Ryan was attentive and worked on all identified problem areas. Additionally, Ryan provided stretches and work I could do between sessions to help keep my body in good working order from lifting and rugby.

Ryan at Mexia Massage was fantastic. From the moment I arrived, he was very personable and made me feel comfortable right away. He took the time to assess my concerns at the start of the session and asked thoughtful questions to make sure he understood exactly where I was holding tension and stress. I was especially impressed that he actually applied the appropriate pressure during my deep tissue massage. It’s rare to find someone who truly delivers on deep tissue work, and the relief I felt afterward was exactly what I was hoping for. He was attentive throughout the session and checked in to make sure the pressure and techniques were working for me. Ryan is clearly knowledgeable, skilled, and genuinely cares about his clients’ well-being. I left feeling relaxed, lighter, and noticeably less tense. If you’re looking for a massage therapist who listens, delivers real results, and creates a comfortable, professional experience, I highly recommend booking with Ryan at Mexia Massage. NOTE: I slept for 10 hours the night after my massage.

EXCEPTIONAL work by Dario. 100/10 highly recommend. I’ve been searching for a specialty work Massage Therapist for years and I often leave disappointed because I don’t receive the work I need. I have years of scar tissue and range of motion restriction. In our assessment Dario throughly evaluated my body and explained how he was going to work and why. Immediately I knew I found the right person because my body needs tailored work not a repetitive movement performed over and over. It felt relieving and liberating to feel a release in parts of my body it felt I’d never feel real comfort from. I know Dario is booked and busy but he is WORTH IT

★★★★★★★★★★Savanna SmilesFeb 2026

I’m so happy I came across Dario's amazing Instagram page and the glowing Google reviews! Without them, I might have missed out on discovering such a talented miracle worker just a few miles away. Dario truly has a remarkable understanding of the human body, unlike many others. Trusting your massage therapist is so important because it makes the experience even more relaxing and effective. His massages are like a full-body structural reset that I think everyone should try! - just don't snag my future appointments with him! ;)

★★★★★★★★★★Alexis HawkinsJan 2026

Ryan was absolutely amazing. This was my first session and I felt completely comfortable and cared for the entire time. He was very knowledgeable and explained what he was noticing in my body, especially how tight my hips were and how that was affecting other areas. I left feeling noticeably looser, more relaxed, and calmer than I’ve felt in a long time. You can tell he really understands the body and takes his work seriously. I’m so glad I booked with him and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

★★★★★★★★★★Colin SmithJan 2026

I’ve personally known Ryan now for years. He’s so talented at what he does and cares about the individual experience. That’s very important for a great massage! He is excellent. There is a reason these guys are booked and busy. I have not had a better massage in DC.

★★★★★★★★★★Andrew CastellanosJan 2026

Dario is fantastic! He was able assess areas that are causing problems for me and show me exactly how and why they are problematic. His approach to healing ailing elements of the body is efficient and effective, and the best massage therapist I have been to. After my first session I felt immediately more openness and freedom of movement in areas that have been giving my problems for more than 15years. Highly recommend!

★★★★★★★★★★john zulloDec 2025

After doing some research for massage therapists in DC I had read that Mexia Massage was one of the best. It may have taken a few months to get an appointment but Dario does not disappoint. A great studio, engaged discussion about expectations, and his powerful and intuitive touch all made for an outstanding massage. I look forward to my next session.

★★★★★★★★★★Sophia GarciaOct 2025

Dario was absolutely fantastic, as always! Truly one of the best massage therapists I've ever been to. He's always so attentive, aware if I have any problematic areas, and remedies those as much as possible through a multi-technique approach. His knowledge and care of his craft truly show, and anyone who goes to him will never, ever be disappointed.
