Karos Advanced Massage and Bodywork

I went a few months back because my back was really sore. He was amazing he took care of all of the kinks and I came out feeling like a new person. I go to a lot of places and he is by far one of the best!

Karos is an incredibly skilled therapeutic massage physician. My hot spots were expertly handled — problem pains I’ve had for years, from my shoulder to an old climbing injury. Thank you for being such a wonderful and gracious therapist — I highly recommend if you need a deep tissue above and beyond the everyday Thai massage!

I found Karo via Unilocal and found him to have very high ratings. I had kinks on my neck and shoulders which were painful and giving me a headache. All thanks to my desk job. I had gotten a massage at a chain spa a week before but it did not resolve the problem. I decided to try Karo and I did not regret it! You come come to Karo not for a spa massage but for therapy. He can make you relax and boy does he work on those kinks! He can tell the problem spot right in the first minute. He even knew the kink was giving me a headache without me telling him. A nice sweet man. I only booked for the 1 hr. And 15 min. massage but he went ahead and gave me 1 hr. 30 minutes because my body needed it. He only charged me for the time I booked. I am definitely giving up the chain massage places and will be a loyal customer here! Believe me, he is worth the $$.

My massage was unbelievably good and Mr. Karos was kind and EXTREMELY generous with his time I was skeptical about all of the positive reviews but truly, he’s that good. Don’t hesitate to make an appointment. I’ve never slept better and can’t wait to go back.

The massages were great, and an incredibly good deal! Also he was very nice, and it was a relaxing environment. Will definitely come back.

I had severe pain I my shoulder blade and back. So much that I did not want to leave my bed at all. I asked around and was told karo was the best around. So I called and explained what was wrong over the phone and was able to make an appointment for the very next day!
Long story short it was a great experience, I walked in feeling injured and horrible and left his office with a smile on my face and feeling great.

Had an overall good experience here. Was nice change of pace to go to an actual massage therapist instead of a chain spot that just tries to get as many people through as possible. Within 30 seconds of starting, Karo had identified all of the spots on me that needed work and got to it. Felt much better and looser at the end.
Pricing is good, and he does a 75 minute massage for the same cost or less than what most places charge for a 60 minute massage.
Only one thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars. I have a hard time relaxing certain parts of my body sometimes when I get a massage. He would tell me to relax, but had to do that several times, and I think started to get a little frustrated when I didn’t relax those muscles. The more times he would tell me to relax, I would have a hard time doing so since I was starting to feel pressured and would tense up. Does not have the most soothing voice.
But overall good experience, and would definitely recommend checking him out!

The best best massage therapist in town. I have been seeing Karo for over 10 years. He has magical hands, he will sure cure all your aches and pains.

Look no further!
Karo’s hands were truly blessed by the Gods! (I’ve been watching a lot of Spartacus lately) But seriously he is amazing.
It can be so disappointing some times when you go to get a massage. You’re always praying and hoping that the next massage therapist will be better but more times then not their average or just below avg. I am all to familiar with this feeling as I get at least one massage a month.
I am SUPER excited though that I found Karo on my first round here in Glendale. He has been a massage therapist for 35 years and his knowledge and skill set speak for his tenure. I explained to him the discomforts I was feeling and he listened and asked questions to better understand. Then once I was on the table he went to work.
I went in for $ 65 for an hour and 15 minute deep tissue massage. First of all, you can’t beat that price. On average a 1 hr deep tissue costs $ 85 so enough said. From beginning to end he used the right amount of pressure and knew exactly where to massage. I was able to seriously lay there and relax. He needed zero guidance or suggestion for pressure or areas to work on. Its like his hands were reading my body.
He’s super nice and if his time permits if there is a part of your body that needs more work he might just do it for free. Since it was my first time he took a little more time and even gave me a free foot scrub after my massage.
All in all, Karo is a very talented massage therapist and you would be missing out if you chose to go else where. I am going to be one of his new regular clients.
Parking was easy and free.

Been going to karo for 13 years, for deep tissue massage he is the best in Los Angeles if not in California. 2 ½ hours of amazing massage, relaxing yet deep tissue
I recommend him hands down.

I have been going to karo for over 10 years now and he is amazing. I get massages everywhere from Vegas to la no one an even come close to this guy. After his massages I am rested and relaxed for at least a couple weeks unlike anyone else’s.
Once you go karo you never go anywhere else. !!

I had been experiencing some soreness in my neck and realized it I was way overdue for a massage. I am the sort of person who will keep trying until I get it right, or in this case, find the right one, as in massuses. I think I just did!
Karo is a wonderful massage therapist. He was very calming yet knew all the areas where I needed work without me saying anything. To me that speaks volumes! He asked me how long I wanted the massage for. I decided to just go with the hour and 15 min version.
The room was in a physical therapy office. It was a private room with quiet music and low light. Very relaxing. He offered water, either room temperature, or chilled. (He also offered chocolate, which is a nice touch).
I was very satisfied with the entire experience and will definitely be back. His prices were very reasonable and was able to get in on the same day as well.
Thank you again, Karo!

I’ve been searching for years in hopes of finding a great masseuse who I can see regularly and I feel like I finally did!
Highly recommended!

I have been going to Karo for 12 years. His magic touch has helped heal and relax me through 3 car accidents (all of them I was rear ended) the first one was when I was 2 months pregnant. and he went way beyond by giving me the best pregnancy massages ever to relax my child and I after the traumatic incident.
Also being a dance teacher and an ex ballet dancer and gymnast I know he definitely knows what he is doing in sports massage too. He is a total pro. You will be addicted to his massages for your body, mind and soul. He is a kind and caring man and he is the best massage therapist in Los Angeles!

If you are looking for a REAL masseuse, Karo is your go to guy.
I have been using his services for over ten years, and trust him as an excellent
Professional. He has a magical healing touch. After my first visit I was sore for 3whole days. That just proofs how dedicated and detailed he is. Karo knows all the muscles and treats each of them with special attention and care. You feel completely rejuvenated, whole, and renewed after the treatment. Totally worth to pay a visit and guaranteed high quality message. Go ahead and schedule your appointment now!

Holy cow!!! What a massage!
You know how you go to that next massage hoping it’s going to be with someone who really knows what they’re doing?! Look no further! –This is the guy!
I booked an hour, he worked on me for two at no additional charge. From start to finish the guy is working on you with no wasted time.
Lavender aroma therapy, classical music, and heated padded table, are all nice touches too.
My next appointment is already booked.
Book yours! Seriously, you’ll be glad you did!

I have been going to Karo for over 15 years. He is an amazing massage therapist! A friend of mine recommend him to me and I owe her big time. I have seen numerous of massage therapist but none of them are even ½ as good as he is. I think what makes him a great massage therapist is he has over 20 years of experience and he listens to his clients. When he works on you he isn’t stuck to a clock time and tries to rush you in and out quickly. Karo makes you feel like a priority and he wants all his clients to feel better after the massage.
I have sent friends to see him and even family (Mom, sister and adult nephew and niece. They are all amazed with how the feel a thousand percent better.

Karo is truly amazing! I finally found a great human individual that actually cares for his patients and customers.
I’ve been having L4 (lower back) problems since 2009, which unfortunately comes and goes. It got really bad these past two months, to a point we’re I have problems to sleep at night.
After one treatment with Karo, I literally feel like the previous reviews say: LIKE A NEW HUMAN being. He explained what was wrong with me, why it was like that, what to do to prevent it (small things that my conscious wasn’t aware of).
My muscles was more than tense, and it was a little painful, but it’s well worth it. Even if you’re sensitive or your skin is, take the temporarily hit on your body and let his 20+ years of knowledge work on you!
I’m so happy I found him, and I believe in every seconds of his work. My chiropractor, Dr Mary from «The Joint» referred me. This was worth every penny I gave him, and it wasn’t a lot considering the time he spent on massaging my nerves and muscles.
I breath better, I walk better, and I feel more relaxed. If you sit down a lot at work like me, go and see him. Even once a month is enough, or what ever signals your body is giving you.
Thank you sir!

Excellent!
Not the typical «spa» massages that are prevalent everywhere these days. Really can’t say enough. Its very hard to find a good massage therapist. Karo is very thorough. If you want a real massage, go here.
Also, seems like he really cares about his work. Highly recommend.

I have been getting Karo’s amazing massages for a few years now. I’ve told so many people about him healing hands. I usually get a 90 or 120 minute massage and I feel like I lost 50 pounds when I stand after he’s done. It’s amazing how he loosens the tension in muscles you never knew you had.
I will always recommend Karo to everyone that likes a good massage. Karo is not your corner massage parlor masseuse, he’s a true therapist. If you want to be caressed for an hour, go to your local Asian shop and pay $ 35, but if you want a real massage by someone that knows the human body, you have to see Karo!
