Reviews of Bodyworks DW Advanced Massage Therapy (Massage Therapist)

Holly Mitchell

Michael B is the best massage therapist I've ever seen in my life. Period. If you're an athlete, or just work out 6 days a week like I do, he'll help you recover from and prevent injury. Highly recommended.

Amanda Carter

Massage was stellar. Really helped with some back & neck issues. Very knowledgable staff. Cant wait to go back.

Austin Anderson

I had a really wonderful experience here. They truly care about their clients and are willing to go above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of. I have a lot of neck pain and they were able to help me feel so much better and give me coaching on what I can do at home to prevent the problem from returning.

I am so very grateful for Bodyworks DW and specifically for Christine. After a recent surgery I found myself with extensive scar tissue that was limiting range of motion in both of my arms. I had to take extended time off from work, and was very frustrated. Christine did an excellent job of piecing me back together. She is so skilled and perceptive. Her expertise guided her through various massage techniques that she felt my muscles and tissue needed to release, while still keeping the experience pleasant and relaxing. I'm back at 100% and will certainly be adding Bodyworks DW to my self-care routine throughout the year. Total Gem!

Shira Mitchell

Shiho was excellent. I walked in with a near-decade-old trauma, crying and rude, and she helpfully and patiently answered my questions. I am not sure how I'll feel body-wise tomorrow (probably better!) but I'm grateful for Shiho's support and expertise.

I went to this office to be treated for a sore and stiff right leg which was impairing my walking and causing me major discomfort for several weeks. My massage therapist, Lisa Moynihan, was nothing short of a miracle worker! She listened patiently as I explained my symptoms, pinpointed the exact points along my leg which required treatment, and performed the most thorough and soothing massage I've ever experienced. Within an hour's time, I went from hobbling around to walking completely normally. Lisa succeeded where countless spa masseuses failed. Best of all, she never watched the clock and she graciously went past my allotted time. I would give her six stars if I could. Easily worth every penny.

Eli gave me a great massage a week after I ran the NYC marathon. He used eucalyptus lotion that calmed the tension and relieved a lot of the pressure. The studio is equipped to help with sport’s injuries and stress. Their prices are reasonable and I will definitely be back.

Mark Connelly

Amazing! After two days of extreme lower back pain I booked in for a one hour session at mid town. After a quick discussion with Christine she went to work on my upper back and shoulders. One hour later and I was able to walk back to my hotel and say good bye to my wife and spend 12+ hours on a plane in economy all pain free. Highly recommended!!

Sean McMahon

Lisa did better for me than half a dozen chiropractors--can't recommend enough.

John Hollister

Hands down the best massage in New York City. Over the last 10 years I've been to dozens of studios. Omer is the best.

Daniel Sandberg

Mike was awesome. He really did some major medical work / adjustments on my back and corrected long time pain I was previously having. Thank you!

Tom Townsend

I"m not sure whether I was in Midtown or the Financial District, as I was only visiting NY, but Germaine was excellent -- not only addressing my rotator cuff issue, but doing so with a sense of medicine and biology I've rarely seen in a therapist. I came out feeling better, and smarter about my condition. He made a difference, and I will be back when in NY again. Many thanks!

Chris Long

Alexon was great - knowledgable, friendly and has really helped a musucular back injury I sustained. Thanks and see you next week!

Valery Upson

Welcoming customer experience, extraordinarily professional practitioners!! I have spent years receiving massages and have often been left unsatisfied. My experience with the Bodyworks DW team was next level from start to finish--my warm and knowledgeable masseuse Alexon used several modalities to approach my particular challenges, carefully listening to the needs of my body throughout our session. It was truly a bespoke approach, and I felt his sincere interest in wanting to help me heal. I left feeling renewed -- and having already booked a return session for the following week :) If you are serious about a holistic approach to massage, run, don't walk to Bodyworks DW.

Susana Washington

Today I had my first ever Thearpy Masage at the Maiden Lane location. It was very convenient. The employees were very welcoming and made you feel comfortable. The location was very clean. The therapist I had was very professional and respectful. Once completed I felt very relaxed and feeling less pain. I'm definately returning in two weeks. Thank you. BODYWORKS!

Jessica Blumenthal

Had a fantastic appointment with Ruth! I learned so much about my body and feel great. Looking forward to my next appointment.

Shula Melamed MA, MPH

Felt more balanced in my after the first session. I also learned a lot about my body and how old injuries are effecting my posture now. Looking forward to my future sessions!

Ellen Savoye

Honestly, it was one of THE best massage therapy session that I've ever had. Yes, I am sore but in the way that I know my body is healing. I am so grateful to have found your practice. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. I have nothing to say other than I will be back and keep up the wonderful work! PS - Christine is absolutely amazing. I went in feeling like I was hobbling and walked out upright. She is magical

Aleixa Maria Freire

Had a 90 min session with Jess L. In just one session my body alignment improved and I learned new things to take with me to realign my spine on my own. I truly appreciate the efforts of this location’s therapists to teach and explain to their clients what’s going on in their body and ways to help outside of the office so that they can continue to improve without needing the therapist everyday.

Dana Story

I wrenched my back and was in a lot of pain, could hardly move. Called Bodyworks and they saw me that day. I walked out of there 1000% better. I saw Germain and he was absolutely fantastic. He listen to me, went to work, and did an amazing job. Very personable and all around nice person as well. then he sent me a follow up email with a list of pointers, valuable info, etc. I am new to the area, but prior to this back home, i have seen many great massage therapists. I must say Germain is up there as one of the best! The overall vibe of Bodyworks is very chill as well, very inviting. I am instant regular now. thank you!

Raja Harb

DW Bodyworks has been very helpful over the years in helping me deal with chronic lower body pain. I have been working with Ruth for the last year and have had an excellent experience. Highly recommended

Jacquelin Pabon

I have been working with Christine and she is amazing! Her professionalism and knowledge will keep me coming back. My first time with her was during my training for the NY Marathon and I have picked back up. Highly recommend Bodyworks!

Ashleigh Cleasby

After a 27 hour transit to get to NYC with four bulging discs, I was in a world of hurt starting a 6 week cross county trip. I made an appointment with Ruth, senior therapist on New Year’s Eve mind you! Best decision I made I practically pranced back to my hotel and spent the night dancing my heart out! I can not recommend Ruth and the team highly enough!!!

Michelle Kuchuk

Really excellent & skilled massage therapists. Highly recommend for athletes (professional or not); dancers, New Yorkers, desk-workers.

Emily Balcombe

I came in for chronic lower back pain and left with significant improvement. Michael T was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the reasoning behind the muscles that he targeted. He released several muscles that have been stressed for months, and I walked away with almost no pain. I will absolutely come back for further treatments!

Carol Glazer

Went in feeling in extreme pain in my neck area due to stress from my son's hospitalization and surgery. Left feeling great!

Audrey Whittington

I get a lot of massages (sit way too much) and needed a massage ASAP, though I am from out of town. The reviews do not lie...this place is FANTASTIC! Ask for Megan, she was so good that I ran back the next morning for a second session and I feel better then I have in awhile.

Jolene Ratcliffe

Very professional and the therapist Evana was more than great! I came in for a prenatal massage and she knew exactly what she was doing. She hit every pressure point that I needed soothing on. I walked out of there feeling so much better. I highly recommend this place!

Alice Kim

Ruth has been my saving grace in helping me recover from a herniated disc injury. She has both a strong technical understanding of the body and an unspoken intuition and does very deep work! She is happy to hone in on your trouble area or provide a well balanced massage. Thanks Ruth!

Elizabeth Dashiell

My first session here was last fall. I had been feeling completely hopeless about the recovery of my ankles (for lots of different issues). The thing that really stands out is that I feel heard by the therapists which is more than I can say for the doctors I had been seen by for my pain... I was able to be a part of deciding how the session went. They really care!!! At this point I’ve worked with many different LMT’s at Bodyworks DW in both locations (they recently opened a Midtown location) and I have never once had a bad experience. This place is INCREDIBLE

Sarah Colon

It's the best thing I have ever done for my body!

Rob Mohr

Highly recommend Bodyworks. I've been to many massage therapists over the years, and believe Ruth at Bodyworks to be one of the best in the business. As a competitive triathlete, I frequently come in with issues that need work and I always leave feeling far better than when I entered. Given Ruth's expertise, it's clear that Bodyworks cares immensely about having the best therapists in NYC. Again, I highly recommend.

Ellen Cayer

Laura was awesome! Loved it.

Lynsey Bonell

Excellent! Would 100% recommend to friends. Massage is always tailored so well. Book now!

Thomas

Bodyworks does amazing work! Lisa helped me get my legs back before the NYC marathon and helped loosen up tight muscles that have been a pain to roll. If you're looking to get bodywork done right by professionals who know how to address the aches and pains you may be dealing with, definitely check out Bodyworks DW. It's on the pricier side, but you pay for their expertise and ability to make you feel better.

Myriah Quintela

I’ve gone to see Michael B. Twice in the past 3 months, and I’m going to see him again soon. He’s absolutely incredible. I feel completely comfortable and safe with him as a therapist. He seems to have a strong intuitive sense of where I’m holding tension and how misalignment might be developing in my body. He addresses my pain but also seems to address other areas that might be affected without me even realizing I need the work! Bodyworks DW is the most professional massage therapy clinic I’ve ever been to, and I no longer feel the need to look anywhere else. Thank you for the care!! ❤️

Yael Reilly

Nothing like a Spa massage at all.....but this was the first time i woke up without swelling in my ankle.

Janice Winter

Very knowledgeable staff, warm and efficient welcome. Felt really good after treatment. Clean and professional. They take the time to formulate an individual experience and plan.
