I've been getting massages for about twenty years; Toraph's ranks among the very best. I had a phenomenal massage with him. He is sensitive to his client, incredibly intuitive, responsive to client's needs. We maintained open and honest communication throughout the massage so he delivered exactly what I needed. Despite his boyish physique (more boyish than suggested by his photos), he is a strong and effective masseur. Better looking than his photos, too, and very personable, congenial, down-to-earth. Maybe the best thing about the massage is that he seemed to be enjoying it as much as I did; I never had the sense that he was "just doing his job," and we fed off one another's energy. One last point: Toraph mentioned he thought some potential clients might be put off by his Bronx location. My advice: Don't be. He's less than a 20 minute subway ride from Columbus Circle, and the 7-8 minute walk to his place is safe and pleasant as you walk by Yankee Stadium and Macombs Dam Park. I definitely look forward to another massage by him; he's really pretty amazing.
