I am looking for any recs for a good massage therapist in the NOLA or northshore area. I am comfortable in my sexuality so it can be a guy. I am pretty physically active so the ideal person would be someone who works on athletes often. I have a lot of tight muscle and myofascial pain/trigger points, so I'd prefer someone who is very strong and can do deep tissue release, but can also do some relaxing type massage too. I'm not into asians so I'm not looking for a happy ending.

Horatio at Elmwood Fitness in Harahan.

Most of the athletes go to him. Including current Saints players.

There is not better choice on the southshore.

The Bailey Institute was established in 1997 with the mission to provide professional and knowledgeable approaches of massage therapy. Our treatments provide relief from pain associated with chronic and acute injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, low back and knee pain. We work with professional athletes, such as the New Orleans Saints, World Champion Triathletes and those who race on the weekends to redefine their physical potential. With ongoing training, our therapists continue to expand their knowledge and effectiveness of techniques and approaches that will best suit their clients’ needs. When our clients need to relieve stress from their lives or calm themselves before a big race, we provide a relaxing effective massage as well

This place looks good, I'd give it a shot. Either way, find someone who works, and keep going to that person.

I have had the same sports massage therapist for 2+ years, and I go monthly. She remembers my body (that sounds wrong) and can call out areas of concern that I didn't know (if my hamstrings are tight, if one leg is worse than the other, are things getting better, etc).

Dude...I went to Horatio like 7 yrs ago, I didn't know if he was still there, but I have been afraid to go back. I told him to go as hard as he needed to in order to get my knots out. Well, he took my advice, & that hour was about the most intense pain session I've ever had in my life. I was trying to play it cool and act tough, but my calves started cramping up just from him diggin in my back. In fact, I still tell that story sometimes. I did feel better after, but I think getting stabbed would be less pain so I guess everything was put in a new perspective. I didn't know he works on the Saints. I may actually give him another shot, cause my back is worse. I'll just take some alieve before I go and tell him to tone it down a notch.

Bangkok Spa on Iberville.
Don't be alarmed by the metal grate in front of the door.
