One of the best massages Ive ever gotten! I get massages regularly and this one was hands down the best in NYC. Nora has magic fingers and she really took the time to get to know why I came in to get massaged and what stretches/massage techniques would be best for me. She made an hour massage feel like two hours. Definitely going to be a repeat customer. Could not recommend this place enough!
This is my 3rd time receiving a massage at Body Mechanics and they never disappoint! I was having issues with a tight calf and was assigned to Yvette, who was fabulous! Who knew my quads and hamstrings were also super tight?What separates Body Mechanics from the competition is that their staff is extremely knowledgeable about the anatomy and you literally feel like you are in good hands the moment you step through the front door.Its incredible how much better I always feel the next day. I need to start making this part of my self-care practice instead of treating massages like they are a luxury (which they still are!). Special thank you again to Yvette who was fantastic, along with Fatima and Genesis. I highly recommend Body Mechanics! Im already looking forward to my next massage (and definitely wont wait a year again!).
I’m a football player build and Jessica was my massage therapist and she was excellent at giving me a deep tissue sports massage! Hands down the best from a female in the WORLD and it was my first time at this establishment. Bravo! 5 stars 😁😩🤯😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💥
This was by far the best massage experience Ive ever had. Anna listened to what my issues were and explained everything she was doing and why during the treatment. She gave me exercises to do between sessions and made sure I left feeling better than when I came in. Great experience all around.
One of the best massages I’ve had in a long time. My massage therapist Austin was very friendly, calming, and thoughtful about my needs for the massage. He started off by asking which areas to focus on, and checked in throughout the massage to make sure I was comfortable and that he was addressing my problem spots. By the end of the massage my back felt transformed. The location is also very clean and comfortable and prices are reasonable for what you get.
I am so pleased to have chosen Body Mechanics to help me with my shoulder pain. Visiting from out of town, one never really knows what to expect. Delaney was very professional and amazing. She worked my damaged area quite thoroughly. I am quite anxious to see how it feels tomorrow. And will definitely return before heading back home.
Carlos was awesome. This place is great and for a good price if you’re looking for a quality massage. The massage therapist also has a consult with you prior to the massage to discuss any focus areas/injuries. Highly recommend trying this place out and first time clients get $15 off.
Jonny was amazing, if you have pain and actually want to be fixed. Here is the place to go.Best massage I’ve ever had in every way, booked 5 massages straight after. Could not recommend this place highly enough. Fantastic
It was so great! Lovely people, really welcoming and amazing massage! Tania explained all muscle groups related to my neck pain in detail and the massage was just 10/10, I literally fell asleep, this never happens to me. SO relaxing, I wish the massage had gone for hours! Will def come back!
My experience was amazing. This was my first massage and I really enjoyed my experience Nora was very attentive, she addressed my back, neck, and shoulder pain. I left feeling very relaxed and I will definitely be returning.
I visited the 3rd time for the sport massage. I am a runner. I went to see Steve before my Brooklyn half due to my tight muscles. It was amazing experience. Steve pay attention to the problem I had and explained very clearly. His technique of massaging are terrific.This is my massage place before and after the race now.
I had the most amazing massage with Eamanuel. He asked just enough questions to determine my needs.I am grateful for his excellent technique, relaxing touch and effective treatment. I left the appointment in a state of relaxation and physical ease that I had not experienced in months. It was amazing!!!
I just walked out of Body Mechanics from another muscle melting massage with Tommy. What can I say? This therapist is phenomenal. I feel so much better. My muscles are relaxed. I want to hold on to this feeling as long as possible! Tommy is excellent at pinpointing those knotted areas using different rubbing modalities to work out the kinks. Tommy is simply a very talented massage therapist, and on my list of necessary humans in my life.
I had a lovely medical massage with Tommy to address generalized tightness due to scoliosis. He was thorough, skilled, and kind. I’ve had a number of medical massages for chronic pain throughout my life- Body Mechanics is definitely top quality. I’ll return for sure.
This is my second time at this location for Body Mechanics. It is such a calming and beautiful space! My masseuse was Karina who was amazing. Very attentive and took the time to understand my issues and how to resolve them. I felt rejuvenated after my massage.I highly recommend Body Mechanics!!!
Great experience. Delaney was really thoughtful about what areas to focus on. I’m training for an ultra marathon and have been feeling the ware of my training regime. I left feeling great. The areas where I was feeling most sore were addressed. I’ll definitely be going back for a 90 min full body.
I can’t recommend Body Mechanics enough, I’ve come from NJ to go here multiple times! Everyone that works there is so kind and so knowledgeable. Today, I had Meagen and she was fantastic! 100% recommend for a deep pressure massage. Already looking toward to coming back. Thank you so much Meagen!
I am so happy I found this place and it is right in my neighborhood (they do have multiple locations)! I am constantly sore from running so I decided to get a sports massage! Sef was my licensed massage therapist! She was very thorough, obtained all my information and kind of soreness I was experiencing, and she used the information to target the areas that needed work! I was very happy and my muscles felt great afterwards! The front desk is also very pleasant and helpful! I cannot wait to return! Highly recommended!
I had an amazing medical massage with Veronica... a truly gifted therapist. This is the first time in a very long time that I came out of a massage not feeling the same pain I had when I went in. Also found her advice for some home care remedies to be helpful and thoughtful. Highly recommend!
I came for a 90-min medical massage. Tania is an excellent professional, she made sure I felt safe and (reasonably) comfortable throughout. Tania paid close attention to my requests and the massage itself was brilliant. I’m still feeling great a few days later. Would highly recommend Body Mechanics to anyone.
I’ve been dealing with nexk and shoulder blade pain for months. Carlos immediately knew where all the tension spots were. He stretched and massaged all the areas without me saying a word. I feel like a new person. Will now be going monthly. Highly recommend!
I booked a medical massage with Tania at the 34th street location at Body Mechanics yesterday and I still feel the positive effects of that session. I’ve had chronic back pain that stems from when I was a dancer and have some arthritis and SI joint pain that keeps me up at night. Tania listened to my issues, asked questions regarding the discomfort and made me feel heard.She incorporated various techniques including holding and stretching to calm my nervous system and give space in the places that felt tight and uneasy.I can’t recommend this business, and especially Tania more ! They truly know what they’re doing.
I visited Body Mechanics last week for a session with Steve regarding a TMJ issue. I am a Canadian-trained Osteopath and Structural Integration Practitioner with a Manhattan practice for the past 18 years. I knew that a qualified massage therapist with TMJ experience would be able to assist me although I didnt know one personally.After some google research for some TMJ/orofacial specialists, I came upon Body Mechanics. Aside from their well-designed and easy-to-manage website, I read their entire site and owner, Berets, story. I also watched a couple of videos on YouTube about her approach to bodywork/massage.I was touched by Berets kindness, candidness and expertise. Aside from her impressive experience and education, I appreciated how much care she took to explain her companys mission (read Our Mission). Additionally, Beret supports others in leveraging themselves who may have invisible disabilities such as dyslexia and autism (click link Dyslexic and Autistic business owner).Plus, Beret has two locations in Manhattan with specialized therapists, several of which are bi and tri-lingual, with great reviews. I know first-hand how much work one has to invest in making this type of business run. The booking process was seamless. I booked an appointment with Steve who was an excellent practitioner, knowledgeable, calm, and who successfully helped me in relieving my TMJ pain. His approach and attentiveness was a reflection of all that I read on the website and a credit to Beret.If you are reading this and wonder if you should explore massage therapy for your ailments, give Body Mechanics a try.Far too often, massage therapy is viewed as a lovely relaxing experience -- which it can be -- but as Body Mechanics demonstrates, it is so much more.Before you research a medical doctor for body pains, misalignments, TMJ/migraines/digestive problems/inflammation/joint pain etc and are suggested to take medication, give Body Mechanics a try. You will be amazed what a qualified massage therapist can do for you.Finally, Body Mechanics is incredibly affordable for the level of care and expertise that I experienced. I will most definitely be back.Thank you Body Mechanics!
I had a great massage with Austin. I have been suffering with a chronic knot in my lower back for years. I have tried to get it out myself to no avail and usually causing more harm and pain. Austin gently removed the knot or most of it and I walked away pain free for the first time in forever! He also noticed other spots that could use more work. I will definitely be back!
When I walked in, I had been in the most agonizing back pain for days. Meagan was really thorough in her questions and when I was done with the massage I felt incredible. Honestly, I could cry from how much relief I felt. 100% recommend Meagan and Body Mechanics to anybody with chronic back pain.
Steve is a talented and gifted body mechanic aka massage therapist. It was my first massage with him but definitely not the last. As a recipient of massage for 40+ years, I can say with confidence, Steve is THAT guy! Its clear he studies and knows the body well and is able to apply it in practice!
Amazing! Exceeded all expectations. Office was clean and nicely decorated. Everyone was kind and welcoming. Carlos responded well when I explained the areas of my shoulder/neck that were sore. The massage was excellent and I left feeling so much better.
I have tried several different massage therapists around Manhattan, some of them very experienced and expensive bodyworkers; it wasnt until I found Jorelle that I finally got a truly excellent massage that addressed my body pain and tension. I am a trained massage therapist and nurse myself, and after experiencing several massages with Jorelle I can attest to her high skill level, knowledge, and technique. She tailors every session to the individuals needs, is extremely tuned-in to the clients verbal and non-verbal feedback, and holds the space with grounded, calming energy. Ive recommended her to friends, coworkers, and even my boss—shes just that good.
Meagen was a delight and the consummate professional. Her intake was thorough and she made me feel at ease. At which time under her amazing touch my body sank into a pure state of soothing and healing euphoria. A total body experience. Thank you Meagen until next time. Nuff appreciation💕
My lovely husband gifted me a massage here as Ive been experiencing pain in my knee, lower back and legs. After discussing these issues thoroughly with me, Carlos worked on the precise areas that were overcompensating and stiff, and helped release muscle tension no other massage has alleviated. Very skilled and professional, and I left feeling so much better.
Each time I have been there, my experience has been awesome. The environment is clean and soothing and the staff are pleasant and welcoming at both the 34th and 54th street locations. I started going in March 2022 I think. The massage and stretch conducted by Emmanuel is awesome! He is knowledgeable ,friendly, professional, and personable. I also get the sports massage usually by Carlos who is equally as awesome, friendly, professional, and great with his hands! They focus on the areas you tell them about and offer long term solutions and lifestyle changes to improve your overall wellness. For payment ,they offer flexible options, including FSA and HSA cards which helps tremendously; and venmo. Im so happy I found this place.
I saw Steve at the w 54th street location and he’s awesome. He was able to immediately identify fascia and muscle issues I’m experiencing. I will be back! Next time I’ll add muscle scraping, which sounds like a great treatment.
Had an incredible sports massage with Karina! She listened to what I wanted to focus on and was extremely attentive. Can’t wait to book another treatment.
I had a wonderful massage. I hadn’t had a massage in very long time. Tonight i feel so comfortable and relaxed. Jorelle was my massage therapist snd she was terrific!
Body Mechanics truly embodies the customer service principle. I had a great first prenatal massage with Meagen - she is truly a professional and was able to find the sore spots without me having to tell her AND worked them out. My second experience with a different masseuse was not what I expected and I was really disappointed. However, the company reached out to me for more feedback through their online survey and decided to make it right. I was impressed by their customer service and they have earned another loyal customer!I also highly recommend Meagen if you need someone to work out the kinks but also provide helpful advice (for example she recommended I drink more electrolytes to help with my Charlie horses and gave me some stretching ideas).
Had an incredible prenatal massage by Veronica. I had a lot of tension in my back at 26 weeks and Veronica spent so much time working out the knots and kneading my muscles. Cannot wait to go back!
Vincent was attentive and gave me a great massage. The oral massage was intense but I felt better afterward. The space is soothing and the front desk staff welcoming.
Yvette was Great and walked me through all of the issues that I was experiencing. She gave suggestions for stretches and worked on my areas of trouble and a very, very gentle but effective manner.
I have had more than one experience with Emanuel of Body Mechanics Orthopedic Massage that has prompted me to begin to refer to him as The Magician. His skills are on that scale, and his methodology bespeaks of a knowledge-base that I construe to be the plinth of my hopeful redemption. Do yourself a huge favor if you REALLY-REALLY ache, I did!
The ethos of this place is great. Talking to someone first, so they can gain an understanding for what you might need is, unfortunately, a rare occurrence these days. Steve has a background that includes gym work and working with athletes, so we saw eye to eye on a lot of things. Plus, he was willing to explain what he was doing as we went along. We compared notes afterwards on mobility and eccentric exercises that might be useful for hamstring strain recovery, as Ive been researching the topic extensively. Steve is not a doctor, but he is up to date on the science.Aside from the sports massage, this location has thoughtful touches such as dimmable lights, music, environmentally sustainable candles, and a jar of hair ties for those of us in need.All in all, Ill say this was a very good experience for a first-timer and recommend this business for results-driven people who are focused on healing.
I spent five days at a conference on my feet networking, speaking, and launching things. As soon as my last obligation was done I sat down, whipped out my phone, and booked an appointment with Vincent. He’s a wizard at finding exactly where the knots are and slowly working them out. I can feel my muscles retraining themselves to relax with Vincent’s mix of massage, pressure points, and PT release. Booking my regular spot as I write this review because the secret is out.
My experience with Body Mechanics was an excellent one, if your suffering from body pain your in the right place no meds just results. My therapist was Chasi very professional knows how to get to the root of the problem. Thank You Chasi will see you soon 😁👍🏻
One of if not the best massage I have ever had (and I had plenty). So detailed on individual muscles and no “one size fits all” approach whatsoever. So much love for this place!
Steve C. Is a miracle worker! I came in two days after throwing out my back, and he was able to work through not only the muscles I had pulled but also all of the tight muscle groups that had caused the issue in the first place. I wouldn’t dream of going to anyone else!
I have been a very long time and happy client of Body Mechanics. Alas, I no longer live in NYC. But when I do visit, I make sure to schedule a wonderfully restorative 90 minute massage with their expert therapists. The location across from the Empire State Building is convenient and very professional.
I’ve been getting massages consistently at Body Mechanics for almost two years and they are excellent. I’ve had great experiences with many of their massage therapists and will keep coming back. :)
Terrific people and very pleasant environment. Carlos my therapist was excellent. Will be returning on a regular basis.
First-time customer and thoroughly satisfied. Veronica expertly addressed my rotator cuff area. I already feel tremendously better.
Had the most amazingly relaxing lymph massage with Austin, such a treat!!!Super professional, very knowledgeable - - can highly recommend!!!Thank you!
I had my first session with Jessica, she was great. I had a medical massage done; she definitely knew her muscles and was able to address my problem areas. She was professional and very knowledgeable. Will definitely book with her again.
Body mechanics is great! I had my prenatal massage with Addy and she was extremely professional and gave really helpful tips to help with the rest of my pregnancy and potential body aches. Facility is very clean and comfortable.
I highly recommend a massage with Vincent! He is very thorough and intuitive and I felt a lot of relief in my jaw after seeing him. I’ll be back!
Cant rave enough about Body Mechanics. My massage therapist/ body mechanic Austin is skilled, communicative, and sensitive to my ailments and pressure preferences. Front of house staff reception staff is superb and warm. Very professional operation. Many thumbs up.
Hands down the best massage I ever had. I was stiff and sore all over. Walked out feeling so much better. 10/10 recommend
Addie is an expert in what she does!!!! Best massage I have ever had. This was the first time I’ve ever dealt with persistent severe spasm in my upper back radiating to my shoulder. I was visiting from out of town and when I woke up feel as if I couldn’t move my neck, I knew I had to get ahead of this. Adie is excellent—-she was able to focus in on the problem area and completely work it out. I have not been in that level of pain since. She gave me stretches, a tennis ball for the plane (which I used and it helped so much) and epsom salts. If I lived locally she would be my regular for sure. Best massage therapist I have ever encountered.
I have both medical conditions and an old injury that cause a lot of pain (muscular and nerve) in my day to day life. The two sessions I have had with Austin have made more of an immediate and notable impact than most of the other types of treatments I have tried!He is kind, communicative, does an amazing job and it is clear that he cares. The best advice I can give is to be upfront at the beginning of the session where your main pain points are so he can best tailor to that!
Had amazing TMJ massages with both Vincent and Addy. They were both such great listeners, with amazing technique to help alleviate my chronic pain in a way nothing else has to date. I highly recommend them to anyone with TMJ, facial, jaw, neck, shoulder pain - they really understood and addressed the mechanical issues spot on. I will definitely be returning.
I saw Austin the day before the NYC Marathon for a pre-race tuneup massage. A specific muscle had been tightening upa lot on my long runs, and I was concerned that it would keep me from finishing the race. Austin skillfully targeted the problem area and also areas around it that might have been causing referral pain. Thanks to him, I was able to have a pain-free and successful race. He was friendly and respectful and put me right at ease. I would definitely work with him again!
This is my second time and Karina was excellent and very professional. I’ve made a decision this year to get pamper myself with massages for my overall health and wellbeing. I recommend Body Mechanics and Karina if you’re ready for a real body massage. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
First time visiting to deal with TMJ tension. So far, so good. I took it slow the first time and it really helped. I can’t wait to go back again and bump it up a little. It’s really helping. Thank you Tommy!
Meagen is a caring young therapist with a great curiosity about healing and cultures across the world. She is very meticulous in her practice and very sensitive to the needs of her client.
Most massages in the city are just a body rub, at Body Mechanics this is actual deep tissue work and I couldn’t have been happier with the service.
I love it here. I especially have appreciated my visits with Emmanuel, and Ive booked gifts with Carlos for friends, and they said he was fabulous. BodyMechanics has really improved my mobility. Clean, punctual, quiet, smells great, and is a safe and thoughtful environment. 10 stars if I could.
I saw Veronica for a medical issue . We managed to get the medical issue under control but I still see her because she is so excellent and professional. The place, the staff and my therapist get all 5 stars well deserved.
Matt is the best! So worth the money, and it’s a legit medical massage place, not like other scam places. I go once a month for my neurological movement disorder called dystonia, which causes extreme muscle tension. I called in advance to ask if they had a therapist they recommended for my disorder, they told me they would talk to the manager and get back to me, which they did as soon as possible, and that’s how I got connected with their therapist, Matt! Now, I’ve been going for more than a year and it’s totally worth it.
The Best Massage I ever had!Crystal listened to my problem and she delivered by making it so much better.I felt like she found spots I didn’t even know was stiff and made it 1000x better. Highly recommended!Thank you😊
Ray greeted me and made sure that I was comfortable, relaxed, and encouraged me to voice my pressure levels. He was able to assess my pain relief and movement needs very quickly and expertly applied techniques to soothe, relax, relieve, and stretch all of the stress points I was feeling! I left feeling light as a feather, much aligned, and postitive energy flowing. Thank you Ray 🪷 🙏🏻
Karina was amazing. She really understood what I wanted/needed. Booking was easy.
Austin was great to work with. We had sixty minutes the day before the marathon. He knew exactly the right amount of pressure to not hurt me the next day. Professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Steve was very professional, thoughtful, and efficient! He took his time and was a great listener. Will definitely be back!
If you are looking for a great massage, regardless of the pain and discomfort necessary to do the job, this is the place. Very friendly and easy scheduling, the facility was clean and inviting, we started on time and most importantly, the massage helped greatly to ease an acute condition.
Yesterday I had my first appointment at Body Mechanics with Veronica. It was a great experience. Very clean reception area, all the staff I encountered were extremely friendly and professional, and my appointment was very prompt. The way in which the office itself is run is excellent. I was already feeling very comfortable with everything before I’d even met the therapist.Veronica is great - I was made to feel at ease immediately, and no time was wasted getting into the issues that led me there for medical massage. In just one session, a lot of my physical issues were touched on, and great insight as to how to address them moving forward was offered. Today, not quite 24 hours after my first appointment, I’m not only feeling much better, but determining when to book my next appointment.I thoroughly recommend this office, and while I can only speak for one therapist, I’m convinced that their standards for staff are consistent across the board. After this visit? I wouldn’t hesitate to be worked on by anyone there.
Veronica is the best! So careful and precise in her work, and caters to my specific needs and injuries as a dancer. I always leave Body Mechanics feeling completely relieved of my pain and tension.
This is an update. As usual, i had a great massage with Matt. Recently Ive had problems with my right knee due to limping from the ankle i broke. Matt always fixes it right up. Feels 100% better when I leave.Im a regular and have been since shortly after Body Mechanics opened. I initially went because Ive had TMJ for over 20 years. I tried the dental mouth guard route, physical therapy with ultra sound and other massage therapists. Nothing worked until I went here. What they do is different than anything Ive ever had done. After working on the problem for several months, the TMJ is now under control and I rarely have flare-ups. Now I go for issues with a hip I injured falling from a horse. Keeps me moving and I feel wonderful after each treatment. Ive sent many friends and cant recommend Body Mechanics NYC enough.
Incredibly disappointing and frankly a bit insulting. Spent the first 17 minutes being talked down to by the lead therapist. I came to get some focused work on a plantar fasciitis and a couple of other injuries and most of what I got were 15 minutes of berating and some pretty useless advice (roll it over an iced bottle).The massage itself was also lackluster. There was really nothing that showed any specific interest in helping treat the injury or anything else. Nor any particular skills that made this an orthopedic massage or could justify the title of lead therapist.I left 20% tip because it was Thanksgivings eve but honestly, I should have asked for a refund.Wont go again, and dont recommend.
I have been to the 54th st location to have my prenatal massage. The only thing I can say is it was the best experience. I felt like a new person after!Highly recommended
I have been coming here weekly for several months and my body’s range of motion has improved so much. I have worked with one practitioner but I am sure everyone here is skilled and amazing. The room setting is comfortable and clean. Making appointments is easy with a dedicated staff and am given reminders in a courteous manner. I would recommend this place to everyone (People with serious injurious to those who want to bring their body to peak performance). I am so happy I found this place.
I had extreme pelvic pain and discomfort when I was pregnant when my went for a prenatal massage with Estela in 2022, lAfter a 90 minute massage session with her, I could walk pain free for a couple of days. I wish I would have gone to her sooner.Her skills are amazing and she’s very intuitive and knows exactly what she’s doing.I went back to her yesterday because I have been carrying my baby on one side, causing a lot of hip and back ache, and she helped a lot with that too.I forgot to leave a review earlier, but was reminded of her awesome skills yesterday and had to leave a review for her right away!!
I’ve been here a few times and it’s great. Veronica is wonderful. The office is clean and the decor is modern and relaxing.
I have been here a few times over the years. Most recently I saw Vincent and had an amazing experience. I went in with an acute issue in my back that Vincent worked through. He applied the right amounts of pressure at different times, was patient and methodical. He gave me some helpful tips to consider to address how to avoid this issue in the future. Overall I am very happy with my visit and plan to see Vincent again soon. Would highly recommend
I am not someone who gets massages ordinarily, but my physical therapist recommended Body Mechanics for a medical massage. OMG - the massage I had with Crystal yesterday was beyond amazing. She is very talented, knew exactly what I needed after we discussed my bodys issues, and made me feel 1000% better after just one session. Plus, shes such an interesting, intelligent person to talk with - it felt like Id known her for years. Im signed up to go back and, no doubt, will often. The best!
As an ex-rugby player with a lot of aches and pains, Megan was able to release built-up muscle tension so easily. Megan is thorough and has a warm professional approach. I cant wait to have another session with her.
Crystal is fantastic! She is extremely skilled and knowledgeable about the human body. In addition, she is also a very patient and kind practitioner. Highly recommend.
Jorelle was a wonderful provider. I went in for help with tightness in my hip and left feeling amazing.
I just had a massage with Veronica, wow! Deep tissue/sports massage, and she also worked on an injury in my leg. She is knowledgable and experienced, and intuitively knew which parts of my body needed work. I cant say enough wonderful things about her and the staff at Body Mechanics. I will definitely be booking my next session very soon!
I’ve been searching for a good massage for my back pain and I FINALLY found it. When I tell you this was the best massage I’ve ever had im not kidding. Austin is amazing 10/10 recommend.
Great facility. Needed massage to loosen up my back before long flight. Got the 60 min sports massage. They were easy to work with, responsive. Happy to recommend
Massage Therapists Matthew and Autumn are awesome, great massage therapists, and very knowledgeable. As a Zebra and licensed massage therapist, I highly recommend Matthew & Autumn to the Zebra population with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or connective tissue disorders . Jessica, one of the receptionists, is very helpful and sweet. The owner is very nice and has innerstanding of patients needs and accommodations. The office is very clean and well organized. As a Zebra patient and advocate, I am very selectively picky when choosing a massage therapist. However, I can honestly say that I can not wait for my next treatments with Matt and/or Autumn because its so worth it! Definitely 5 stars 🌟
I had a medical massage last night with Ray. Ive been dealing with a protracted flu, which included painful muscle aches. This morning, I barely have pain. Ray fixed me right up. He was soothing, polite and had the perfect mien for a massage therapist.
I love Body Mechanics! Karina was amazing and I left my session feeling incredible.
Crystal is THE BEST and incredibly compassionate during treatment. I came for scar tissue work after surgery and she has helped my healing process in more ways than I could imagine. Highly recommend!
Excellent Ortho massage facility-Matt is a wonderful therapist who is so skilled in reading the client and adjusting the routines to meet the need of the individual!!
Just had an amazing prenatal massage by Simone! She immediately found my knots and applied the perfect amount of pressure to relieve them. I walked out feeling like a whole new person. I think it may have been one of the best massages I’ve ever gotten, and I’ve had my fair share! I can’t wait to go back!
Wonderful treatment everything. Cant recommend enough. Always leave feeling pain free!
Great place conveniently located. Professional and friendly therapists that can provide a vast array of services.
So glad I took the time to research a sports massage therapist and even more glad that I found Body Mechanics. I went for the first time this Saturday. The office is clean and pleasant and I was greeted in a friendly, professional manner. I booked an appointment with Maxwell who was very knowledgeable, listened to my concerns, and was able to target my issues. He also gave me some exercises to continue at home. I felt so amazing after my massage and will definitely be returning.
Amazing Sports massage for athletes who need a tune up. Emmanuel is amazing!
Veronica was an amazing practitioner — highly recommend her work and Body Mechanics in general. She was receptive to the info and requests I shared prior to treatment, and worked in a really adaptive and responsive way. Appreciate and value her thoughtful and skillful work! 👍👍
Ive worked with various massage therapists across the country for over 15 years now trying to alleviate chronic pain in my lower back, and this is the best my back has ever felt after a massage. Tommy was professional, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job incorporating a variety of techniques and pressures to get to the bottom of whats been causing me issues. Front desk staff member Ken was kind, polite, and courteous. Facilities are clean and lovely. 10/10 definitely recommend.
Emanuel Gomez is great. Ive been having catastrophic lower back and hip pain for years. Ive been to several massage therapist all over NYC, NY state, and surrounding states to try and address it before succumbing to surgery. Before meeting Emanuel I was worked on by two other massage therapist at this location, who were both great but temporarily alleviated my pain. Third times a charm. I explained thoroughly what Ive been dealing with over the years with my lower back and the various misdiagnosises Ive been given. Emanuel thoughtfully researched it and experimented on how to treat the issue. His thoughts proved correct because Ive slowly been starting to recover from pain Ive known daily for years. This guys the real deal. Hands down the next massage therapist Ive ever met and Ive met scores of them.
Im 6 months pregnant and have been having a lot of SI joint and hip pain. I had tried two other places prior to this place for prenatal massage relief. Both places before Body Mechanics, were word of mouth recs and were a disappointment. A lot of soft rubbing with no targeted relief of my pain areas.I found Body Mechanics online and decided to give it a shot. Very glad I did. Being face down with the belly hole set up is a game changer. Gerry also had magic hands. He focused on my pain spots right away and found all the right areas to help provide relief. He had the perfect balance of pressure that wasn’t overly aggressive but still very effective. It’s honestly the most relief I’ve felt in weeks after trying: two other places, pelvic pt, kt tape and stretches.I will definitely be back!
This is the only place I go for a massage. Therapists really care, and have given me the most helpful advice for ways to manage back and should pain between appointments. I feel like thy always go above and beyond. I recommend Melania Batista who was my most recent therapist. She was very conscientious about making sure that the pressure she used was good for me, and focusing on the areas I came in the be addressed. She made me very comfortable the entire time. 5 star massage and massage therapist!
I love this place so much! Every time I get a massage from Maegan I feel SO much relief in my back and shoulders. I’ve truly never received such a great (sports) massage. Plus the courtesy bath salts she gives me after our sessions work amazing.
I just had a TMJ massage with Tommy this past Monday. I have pretty severe TMJ pain almost always. I was basically pain free for 3 days after the massage and now am only at a 2-5/10 pain level. From spending most days at 8-10/10 this is absolutely magical!! The space is beautiful and serene. You can tell all the staff are really into what they do!!! Can’t recommend this place and Tommy enough!!!
This is an excellent massage place ... professional - clean - and genuinely invested in client well-being. I wont be going to any other place from now on!
Tommy was great! Had a 60 minute TMJ massage and it was one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Thanks!
Crystal was my massage therapist. She was amazing. She had already taken note of my concerns before I arrived and throughout my treatment she checked in with me to assure that the pressure was just right. From the moment I arrived at Body Mechanics I knew I was in great hands….literally and in all ways! Thank you!!
I am not at all exaggerating when I say that Addy provided me with the best massage Ive ever received. I have dealt with chronic pain in my neck and back, and intense headaches for years. Addy was able to do targeted, deep work that felt so relieving. She took the time to listen to my complaints and was able to address them. Also, this office space is tranquil and the receptionist was so nice and welcoming. 10/10!
Ive never been for a massage in my entire life, but Ive been having such bad lower back pain and my sister referred me to this place for some relief. My message therapist, Sharon, was amazing! She knew how apprehensive I was and took the time to very thoroughly explain each step she was going to take during my appointment both before and during treatment. I definitely felt relief when I left and will absolutely be back! Thank you!
Got a medical massage from Shea for my plantar fasciitis, and felt relief for many days to follow - and also felt way more flexible after it!
I have very painful TMJ, and tried everything. Today Vincent did a special tmj massage and I feel so much better! I strongly recommend!
The sports massage was fantastic. Addy Turpin provided an amazing experience that was relaxing and informative. She addressed the tight areas from everyday life and I will definitely be going back. Check this place out if your body needs it or if you just want to treat yourself.
If youre thinking about a prenatal massage, definitely go see Sharon at Body Mechanics! I just had my first session today (at 25 weeks pregnant) and it was exactly what I needed. Sharon is warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the body and where you might be carrying extra tension or straining muscles while expecting. She was very attentive to my specific needs too (back and shoulder aches) and the session was amazing. Afterwards, she even gave me tips on how to continue to loosen some of the knots on my own. A fantastic experience -- you will not be disappointed. Im booking a return visit as we speak!
I love this place; if I have something specific going on with my body, I will come here. The therapists are thorough and clearly know a lot. Every massage Ive gotten here has been incredible. Yesterday I had an appt with Sharon for some back pain and I cannot recommend her enough. Professional, helpful, and a wonderful massage. Will keep coming back!
Some good massage therapists. No frills ambience. Water cooler to keep customers hydrated. They also sell body products, foam rollers, soaps, bath salts, etc.
I’ve been going to see Tommy for about 2 years now and he gives the best deep tissue/TMJ massage. My TMJ is so much better than it was before. Don’t wait, go see Tommy.
I had a massage with Meghan a few times now and I absolutely love it. shes AMAZING! I always walk out feeling like a brand new person. I cant recommend her enough! Ive got some complex pain issues and shes always kind and sensitive and effective!
Just had a 90-minute stretch and runners massage with Emanuel. An amazing session overall. Emanuel was very informative, helpful, understanding. He knew exactly how to release built-up pressure from the quads and hips from an IT band issue Ive been having, and also released a great deal of stress on my back. Incredibly pleased and highly recommend!!!
I had a massage with Crystal yesterday and she was absolutely wonderful. She took time to really understand my body and it’s issues before we started. She talked me through everything as she was working - we even shared some laughs which was nice. After my session she gave me exercises and stretches to do. I will certainly be a regular of hers. I’m sore today, but not in pain. I’ll take sore over pain any day!
Highly recommend Autumn! This is so much more than a massage, truly provides relief - was having a lot of pain from stiff/pulled muscles in my neck and back and she did a lot of work to provide relief and exercises for when I got home and I am feeling night and day, couldn’t recommend more
I cant recommend Matt or Body Mechanics highly enough! Ive suffered from TMJ pain for years after a root canal went wrong -- & Ive tried more docs, dentists, and holistic practitioners than I care to count. Matt is honestly the only one who gets it :-) Not only does he take away the pain gone but also he eases my mental distress and provides ongoing support and suggestions for in-between visits. The lovely staff & setting at Body Mechanics only make the whole experience better. Go! Now!
I’ve been coming to Body Mechanics for several years and have recommended it to several friends. It is wonderful to have a place that does real, serious massage - not body rubs - and reliably does them well.While I have my favorite provider, I have been to several of them, including a new one today, and never had a bad massage.
Body Mechanics is the best massage therapy place I have ever been to. Veronica is A miracle worker. She cured my frozen shoulder within six months without me ever having to take a cortisone injection. I am 100% thanks to her. I continue going regularly and whenever I am having pain she knows exactly what to do. I am so grateful for all she has done for me.
Very clean - friendly staff - my therapist, Carlos, was excellent and very tuned in to what I told him about my condition. I will return to this facility.
I visited Body Mechanics following my girlfriends recommendation and with little hopes: my SI joint had been out for a couple of weeks and the previous massages didnt seem to help. The place is beautiful and welcoming and very quiet, the staff was great as well. They listened to my story with attention and asked questions about details I hadnt even thought about. The massage itself was amazing and unlike other experience I had: the focus was clearly on fixing my problem and they checked in periodically asking me if pressure or stretches were ok. After, they even gave me a list of stretches to do to help improve the situation and a ball to self-massage. Overall, a great experience!
Had a treatment with Tommy and he was fantastic - TMJ treatment was great, very relaxing and helped tremendously. He is very knowledgeable and spent time after the treatment to give me great tips and tricks for helping ease tension when I am at home. Really recommend this to anyone who may have jaw/neck/upper back tension.
What an excellent experience! I was experiencing pain in the right side of my body stemming from chronic TMJ, which Sylvia worked on gently but efficiently. By the end of the massage, my entire body felt so light! Would definitely recommend and definitely return.
By far the best massage I have experienced. Berets energy and experience is just amazing. she works through every muscle and every pain. Her massage is fantastic for anyone who is working through any specific tensions and injuries. Every single detail is thought of in this massage place. Other massage staff have been trained by Beret so the offer really great massage too. I have tried both Ivan and Sarah and was very happy with both.
Had an initial session with Emanuel, and he was easily able to identify which parts of my body were especially tight. After the session, I felt more loose and had better range of motion as well as help with my forearm pain. I would definitely recommend coming here for any type of work on the body!
Professional spaces with great service. The receptionist was very nice and welcoming. My wife had a prenatal massage with Frances. I had a massage with Sarah. We were both very happy with our visit and would definitely recommend to a friend. This feels like a place where all their staff is going to be equally as good.
Body Mechanics is by far one of the most professionally run therapeutic massage studio. I am a black belt in karate and I also run marathons and half marathons, so my body has had all sorts of aches and pains over the years. The owner Beret is knowledgeable and intuitive therapist. She understands how my body works (or doesnt work) better than I do. My experience with Body Mechanics began three years ago when my wife gave me a gift certificate for a massage therapy session with Beret. Since then, both my wife and I have become regulars at Body Mechanics.
I went to Body Mechanics with a neck shoulder injury and was pleasantly surprised by the skill of Beret, the therapist. Having had massages before, I could tell that Beret was very experienced and really understood the human body. I was not sure what I had injured, but my shoulder and neck were basically immobile and took me out of my training. Beret listened to my story carefully and helped me understand what I could have injured- then she went in and did her magic. She systematically loosened me up everywhere else before she went in for the real juicy part. After my massage I was able to move my shoulder and understand how I could continue healing it. I went back for another massage a week later! With her help I was able to get back to my training in 2.5weeks! Normally this type of injury would take me a month to heal. Im so happy I found Body Mechanics!
Autumn is fabulous. First time getting an orthopedic massage and in just the 1st session my neck & back pain is already improved. She was totally professional and kind, and explained everything so I knew what we were working on.
I had my first massage here last week with Autumn and was very pleased! I’m also a massage therapist (LMT), (my regular LMT is out on maternity leave) and I’ve been trying to find a good massage for months. (I can always see my own team for a great massage, but it’s better to have treatment outside of your work place to truly relax.) Autumn read my intake form and had good follow up questions. She provided focussed and detailed work on the areas needing attention and was great👍
Definitely The Best Way To Recharge Yourself! – Getting a massage at Body Mechanics is like no other. Relaxing and feels great, but its different from most massage in that its therapeutic with lasting results. I highly highly recommend.The space is fantastic.. clean and modern, and most important to this guy.. not too spa-y!Every therapist takes the time to get to know you.. They focus on the areas you’re having trouble with.. and they work with the energy, as well as the mechanics of the body to facilitate and accelerate the healing process.It is the very best!
From the moment I walked in, the receptionist, whose name was Ken, made me feel at ease. He greeted me and was not so harsh or bothersome. Then, like 25 minutes before my massage appointment Maxwell Ennist walked in sternly. He quietly went in the backroom to get changed and then into the massage room to get the room ready. I loved his approach and his firm strokes. His stretching technique was impeccable so much so that I almost fell asleep. Dont hesitate to come to Body Mechanics Orthopedic Massage NYC for a massage and book Maxwell.
Thank you all for following and instituting COVID precautions. This is really the only other place I go besides work (hospital) and distanced/masked visits w family. I have had 3 massages with Crystal H the last 3 months and each has been effective, professional, and exactly what I needed after long days caring for patients. She pays attention to self reported symptoms, has a good knowledge of anatomy, targets her attention & pressure in response to symptoms, and is a lovely person as well. I look forward to my next visit. Thank you for your frontline medical provider discount, it is really appreciated.
Had an amazing medical / therapeutic massage with Veronica yesterday. After decades of physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic care but being new to NYC, I walked into Body Mechanics in fairly significant pain. Veronica was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and technically GREAT. I walked out with my complementary bath salts and exercise sheets, almost pain free. Highly recommended.
Laura was amazing. My first day in New York and I had done so much hiking prior to arriving and was very sore. I had a prenatal massage with Laura and it was superb. She was professional, friendly and welcoming and knew exactly which spots and what pressure to use. I even got a tennis ball and bath salts to help me with the rest of my journey. Thank you so much Laura.
I love the way my body felt after the massage.Karina masaged every single part of my body that was hurting.A fantastic experienceThank you
I recently had a TMJ massage with Matt. The experience was great. Matt made sure to give me a full rundown of what to expect and even had great advice for me afterwards. I greatly appreciated the massage and left feeling much more relief than expected. I will definitely be back.
NEW UPDATE: It’s been (I guess?) a year and 7 months since I got my first TMJ massage. I have done one more session with some TMJ work as a precautionary measure when my jaw started to feel tight and I’ve had no issues. If I have to do this once a year to be able to open my mouth wide enough to eat a sandwich that is 100% worth it.UPDATE: Still doing great 7 months later. I went in for one more session and, using my night guard every night, my TMJ is gone. If you have TMJ go see Tommy! I wish more people (doctors) knew that massage can fix this!I didnt actually cry with joy last night when I realized I could open my jaw all the way without pain, but it was that level of relief. If youve tried to deal with severe TMJ pain using night guards, muscle relaxers, acupuncture, topical creams, heat and ice packs, or been told you need Botox to fix the issue, GO SEE TOMMY! I knew there had to be a way to fix this and I thought massage would help, I just didnt realize jaw massages were a thing. Im so grateful they are!! I enjoyed the massage but didnt feel better immediately afterwards. They next day I did feel some improvement and I kept doing the massages Tommy showed me. Several days later I realized I could open my jaw all the way without any pain. I could yawn again, without any pain. I AM SO RELIEVED!!! Thank you, Tommy!!
Meagen was amazing! She was very attentive to the areas bothering me and helped me relax during a stressful week. Highly recommend her!
I had a great visit with Sarah A. and would absolutely see her again. Her approach was very comforting, and she took time to listen to my history and concerns. Sarah did a thorough assessment before beginning, and she made sure that I was comfortable and knew what to expect.During the session, Sarah checked in with me frequently and actively involving me in some of the work, while allowing me to relax during other portions. She seemed really knowledgeable and had a great sense of where I was holding tension (even if I didnt realize it!).I would highly recommend seeing Sarah-- she was professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly.
Veronica has helped me tremendously during my marathon training cycle where I have had some tightness/imbalances related to an old injury. She is professional, knowledgeable and attentive. I always feel like a million bucks after our session. Thank you Veronica!
This was one of the most through and thoughtful massages I’ve ever received. Meagan was so knowledgeable and sent me home with homework and things I could do on my own to help my body!
Happy I found a clean, professional and truly wonderful new home for massage. Gerry the message therapist is knowledgable, caring and professional. He eased my super tight neck and back pain. I definitely will be a regular at Body Mechanics.
I had an appt with vincent and he was super skilled and knew exactly where to work on. i feel like he was really listening to what i needed for the appt and did a great job in making my body feel so much less tense. i highly recommend ! :-)
I wish I could give them 10 stars! I have had many massages in my lifetime and Beret’s was the best ever. She’s so intuitive with a deep understanding of body mechanics. I have psoriatic arthritis and hEDS which cause major chronic pain and fatigue and I often have joints that are out of alignment. When I came to her I could barely move my neck and I left with full mobility. I’ve already booked more appointments. Amazing business and incredible massage therapist!
Body Mechanics is not your normal massage spa. Body Mechanics is the place to go if you have a problem or issue that you need resolved.I have been having issues with numbness in my left hand for over four years. I have seen doctors, had scans done and nobody really was able to provide me anything fruitful other than to go to PT. I worked in a high pressure environment with long hours, and PT twice a week simply wasnt possible. After enduring for over a year with the numbness and pain, I found Beret at Body Mechanics. For the first time in a year, I was relieved of the numbness and I felt absolutely relieved. The best part was, the treatment was successful for over 4 months! I have also gone to see her for back spasms in addition to the issue with my arm.Beret emphasizes that they are a spa that focuses on making sure that your pain and your medical issue is taken care of. Body Mechanics treats runners, atheletes or simply injured desk jockeys like myself. If you go see them with pain, you will leave pain free (or at least that has been my experience!)
Developed some issues with a hamstring a few weeks back. Prior to going for an eval with my Ortho, I decided to book a sports massage with Beret. Knowledgeable, friendly, courteous. Fantastic 1-hr. Went through a discussion around the injury, followed by a fantastic lower body stretch and massage. I cannot say enough good things about her approach. Post-massage, she offered up some good stretching exercises to implement once I have checked in with my doc.Cannot thank you enough. Marked improvement over what I was feeling the past few days.
I chanced upon this place on my travel to nyc. Being someone who has had severe chronic pain issues I need massage often for some temporary pain relief. Not knowing the city I just picked this place because of the words mechanics and orthopedic in the name.I had thought massage had to be painful so initially I was not very impressed but as the massage progressed I began to realize this was something different. I had one of the best massages of my life with Beret. Beret not only re-structured my body but also taught me something about how I hold my muscles which contributes to my pain condition. It was really a revelation. Id highly recommend this place if you are looking for real healing and body restructuring from the wear and tear of life . Beret told me that she has trained her therapists so Im sure they are all excellent
I couldnt be happier to have found Beret!I came to Beret after struggling with tendonitis in my elbow for about 6 months. I was to the point where I could not straighten my arm without excruciating pain. I had been on full rest (no yoga or athletics) and had gone to physical therapy prescribed by my doctor for about five weeks and was on and off an anti-inflammatory. I was trying everything, including eating well and not drinking to lessen any inflammation. I was desperate to get out of pain.Beret was energetic, professional, and welcoming. She took the time to listen and really wanted to understand what was going on with my body. During treatment she was very focused and I received a lot feedback about what she noticed. By communicating about how things felt and what triggered pain, we were able to figure out what was really going on with my injury and how to heal it. By the third appointment, I was 75-90% out of pain and could straighten my arm without wanting to cry!Beret is incredibly attentive and also responds promptly to the (many) questions I ask her over email. Her knowledge and healing hands are worth every penny. She will do her best to expedite your treatment and get you out of pain and on your way.
Body Mechanics is hands down the best massage experience I have ever had. In fact, Id go as far as to say that Body Mechanics has spoiled me for any spa out there! When I first started seeing the Body Mechanics staff, it was just for general relaxation and to relieve the occasional back pain I get from working long hours at a desk. In addition to that, the massage therapists at Body Mechanics were able to pinpoint a problem with one of my vertebrae that I didnt know I had and no massage therapist had ever noticed before. They treated me for it on the spot and completely solved the issue. Now I go to Body Mechanics regularly and every time I do, I feel like a new woman.I also enjoy talking with the therapists during our treatments - the therapists at Body Mechanics are incredibly knowledgeable, funny, intelligent and wise.
Did one hour with Sylvia Mueller to address a low back/hip issue. Not only did she skillfully release some muscles and ease my body, she explained carefully and clearly what she was finding. She used that to give me two self care techniques with tennis balls, recommend three additional PT exercises, and talked to me about how to move better and about learning to engage specific muscles in movement. Wow. Immediately made another appointment.
I’ve been visiting Gerry for several months and my experience with him has been great. I have a lot of random aches and pains in my body due to mixing a desk job with lots of running/climbing, and Gerry seems to always know what my body needs to feel better. He also gives me a lot of useful tips for things to do at home!
Very professional! Crystal really took the time do get a history and information about which areas to concentrate on to help me get back to my active self!
My appointment was on time and I got a great massage.
SO incredible, this place! Beret is truly professional and brings humor and wit to all that she does. Her knowledge base is unparalleled by most therapists (and spa owners), she has so MUCH more than basic massage training behind her and this shines through in her work. She is deeply committed to helping her clientele live pain free. She helped me through the most debilitating sciatic issue I have ever experienced. I am an avid runner and up until the 8th month of my pregnancy was feeling great and then, WHAM. Excruciating pain. Beret worked confidently and thoroughly, always knowing where to go and what to do. I never thought I would find such relief. She is truly gifted and I highly recommend Body Mechanics as a critical component of self care.
The massage therapists are superbly trained to understand the mechanics of the body and so a great job of focusing on an individuals needs. I go monthly and they have never failed to provide outstanding work. Shout out to Laura and Maxwell
What an amazing experience I had with Veronica. She hit all the right spots and she is very knowledgeable, I’m looking forward to going back.
This massage was what i needed in my life. thank yousse you soon
Matt Dazinger is an amazing professional. He takes time to listen and provides an exceptional massage. He has helped me with both chronic and acute pain. I will highly recommend him
Matt Danzinger was great with my massage! He spoke with me for ten minutes to find out what I wanted in my massage then he focused the massage on what I was looking for. I had some tight calfs, hips and hamstrings. He helped me loosen them up!
I wrote a glowing review 6 years ago when BMOM was first getting started. This is still my go-to massage therapy place, as they offer something fundamentally different from other massage / body work options. The team is highly skilled, welcoming and committed to their craft. I see Matt on a regular basis and he is incredibly knowledgeable, generous with his time and energy, and he has really helped me manage my sports-related injuries and aches and pains. Matt and the others Ive seen at BMOM over the years really take the time to listen to their clients and develop a specific approach to their concerns. I highly recommend BMOM.
Emanuel was amazing! He was very professional and really helped alleviate my lower back pain in just one visit! I will definitely be returning for more sessions.
Enjoyed a heavenly and extremely therapeutic massage last Friday after waking up with a completely seized neck. I was a bit desperate but was looking for somewhere that was above spa level (no offence to spa RMTs). I knew I needed someone I could talk solutions beyond just a quick fix as this has been a re-occuring issue. Online booking was really simple, I was able to get an appointment with Matt that afternoon. He was fantastic in his explanation of the way he planned to work on the area, and his technique was perfect for me. He also offered recommendations of physical therapists to explore other avenues of dealing with my ongoing neck/back as well which was much appreciated. I will definitely be back.
Estella is terrific! One of the best massages I’ve ever received. Helped with my neck & back pain and gave some helpful maintenance/ exercise tips. Thank you.
First time seeing Sharon and she was wonderful. Relief and relaxation. This new location is clean, convenient and felt safe with lots of covid precautions. Highly recommend to anyone who needs relief from pain or discomfort.
Made an appointment and saw Sylvia recently after my back locked up. Sylvia carefully went through my history, felt around to examine what was going on back there and then went to work. While my back wasnt fixed after one session (this would be an unrealistic expectation), I did receive substantial relief from the pain and lack of mobility I had going in. Cant recommend Sylvia more highly.Update 6/3/2014 - returned to BMOM NYC and saw Beret, the owner. Another truly outstanding massage and came out feeling much looser. While my abs were particularly tight and thus were the focus of Sylvias massage, the glutes were the focus today. Somewhat different focii to reflect different states of the body coming in. Equally good results going out.Cant recommend this place highly enough!
Before I met Beret, I was having significant problems with my neck and shoulders. Her massages alleviated the pain in a way I cannot remember any chiropractors or physical therapists achieving. Each week when I know that I am going to see Beret, I begin to feel better just knowing the impact she will have on my problems! When I come out of her office, I can actually turn my neck again! I also find that the sessions have relieved the stress I was suffering from work--when I leave, I feel like a million bucks! Thank you so much, Beret!
This ain’t no frickin spa massage! Deep Tissue doesn’t even begin to describe this experience. Honestly! I felt like I was high afterwards. My neck gained at least an inch in range of motion in each direction. My shoulders and upper back have never felt so loose and tension free. How strange it is the way we carry around all of this tension and don’t realize it until it’s gone. This is the real deal! Orthopedic massage at its best.
Quite possibly the best massage I have ever had, and coming from a self-confessed massageaholic, that is saying something! I have lower back and sciatica problems from being trapped in front of a computer or in a meeting room for 10+ hours a day, and am always on a mission for pain relief. While most massage therapists have commented on how tight my muscles are, these guys got right to the crux of the matter and released so many tension spots I could almost limbo dance out of the office! The office itself is an oasis of calm and beauty - such attention to detail, from the fabulous skeleton (painted black!) in one room, to the collection of antique medical equipment in another. And that really sums it up - these people merge the spa environment with serious therapy that doesnt just relax you, but actually fixes you. Highly recommended!
I have been seeing Beret for over three years and I can say she’s replaced everyone down to my orthopedist. She is knowledgeable, patient and is always going above and beyond. The office is super clean and calming as well. I highly recommend!
For 20 years I have suffered from various repetitive strain injuries in one of my shoulders. After countless doctor visits, X-rays, MRIs and four rounds of physical therapy, I was resigned to think that living with the pain would be something I would simply have to deal with.As a reward for a recent accomplishment I treated myself to what I thought was a simple massage. I left that first appointment at Body Mechanics thinking that I may have stumbled upon the answer to my pain. After a only a few appointments it was clear that I had found the solution.The staff at Body Mechanics are highly skilled and professional. They take an active interest not only in helping you get better, but in teaching you about the mechanics of your body to help avoid further injury. I cannot recommend Body Mechanics enough.
Gerry is absolutely the best! He really understands the body and pays close attention. He doesn’t just treat you like any old body on the table. He is kind, sincere, and gifted. And body mechanics always comes through regarding communication, booking, etc.
Simone was fantastic and really made me feel taken care of. The receptionist was super friendly. The only issue I have is that no one checked my vaccination nor anybody elses while I was there.
Body mechanics is terrific. Every detail is thoughtful and welcoming, and makes for a positive experience. Beret is amazing. She has worked on my TMJ as I have never experienced in other massages. It is such a relief to finally have an effective treatment for my TMJ!
I absolutely love this place! I have worked with some really great massage therapist, but Beret and her team stand out. Body Mechanics has a holistic understanding of the body and approach their massage practice very thoroughly. By far, one of the best places in the city to get a massage!!!
Beret is amazing. I am a personal trainer with a shoulder issue I have been working on rehabbing for a long time and her massage and adjustments have given me back a lot of mobility so that I can continue to make gains in strength and range of motion. I could not be happier!
I work setting up and moving heavy lighting equipment and always feel like I have sore muscles and an aching back. The team at Body Mechanics takes good care of me and keep me going. Fair prices and clean comfortable surroundings. I highly recommend going in and getting wrenched on!
Laura is very competent and down to earth. Her expertise can help you relieve symptoms and promote healing.Sarah has a positive energy and a strong understanding of the bodys anatomy.Beret, the owner, comes highly recommended and is well trained.I trust them with my healing and my health.
Erika was perfect and did exactly what I needed to fix my back issues. It was such a friendly and peaceful environment to the point where I was bummed Id have to leave the space to head back out into the city again. Ha. Highly recommend this place and also Erika if she is an option. Thank you!
I was referred to body mechanics by someone else how had plantars fasciitis because he had had great success. I got to the point where I could hardly walk. Living in NYC thats a big problem. Beret was able to make a significant difference for me by using stretching, icing and massage of not just my feet but my hamstrings all the way up my back because the said its all connected. My feet are almost back to normal but if I feel any tightness I do the stretching exercises she showed me. Not only do my feet feel better but I love the facility. Really luxurious.
Highly recommend Sharon Lam for her great techniques and ability to identify and solve my back tightness. She applied pointed pressure and worked through every part of my spine to ease the tightness with comfortable pace.
Been a client for a a few years now. The quality of therapists are one of the best in the city. Ivans expertise combined with a willingness to listen to a patients physical response has helped me immensely in my rehabilitation of several chronic condition injuries.
Body Mechanics is wonderful. Everyone is super friendly and down to earth, which really helps for a truly relaxing experience. Sarah is amazing, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone!
This is easily the best place to get a massage treatment. All of their therapists are outstanding. I have used several different therapists because of scheduling conflicts but have never been disappointed. Somewhat pricey but worth every penny.
This is Dee - my massage was absolutely amazing. Id recommend Carlos to all my family members and friends.
My first prenatal massage and so happy that I worked with Sylvia. She was professional, knowledgeable and I immediately felt relaxed and well taken care of
Had a great massage with Emanuel Gomez - had a conversation before about what specifically we were trying to treat. I really enjoyed how thought out and tailored the massage plan was.
Gerry was great! I went in recovery from a pinched nerve and tightness from stress and he was great about identifying the pain and alleviating it. He was very gentle and talked me through what he was doing. I will be back!
Life changing massage from Vincent, right out of the gate.
Beret is hands down one of the most talented pros out there. Makes my back young again and really helps with my alignment and mobility. This isnt normal massage, this is hardcore, active, sometimes painful therapy, but I cant recommend it enough for anyone with chronic pain, athletic or otherwise.
Sarah Anderson has a true gift. She has helped me in so many ways - I am blown away by her knowledge and her ability to know what my body needs. Her specificity and kind nature make her a true gem. She is lovely!!
The good: The journey to finding this joint, however, is quite worth it. Its in Midtown Manhattan, which is super convenient for work (not for home, but whatever). The late hours make it easy to stop by after work.Ive been having some pain off and on for years, in my upper back region. With this wacky weather, the cool and the hot, I decided to act.Id heard about this place from a friend and thought Id check it out. Shes got a decent new business deal going, where if you show that you work near her, she gives you like $25 off the first time. Which is a nice getting to know you present for the client!Right, so the pain. Beret (the therapist) explained what was going on, worked her magic, showed me some stuff I can do at home to alleviate it, and blammo! Much better. Guys, for real. Totally worth it.I will, most likely, become a monthly client as it is just a nice treat for myself. The space is freaking gorgeous; one can tell she put a lot of work into it. Very steampunk, but not in an annoying way. And there is a fish.Oh and let us not forget a small, niggling of The Bad: it is confusing to get inside! It IS at 315 Madison Avenue, but the entrance to the building is on the SE corner, on 42nd Street. Know before you go so youre not wandering around trying to find this joint.
Gerry is the best! I tried a few different therapists and Gerry was the only one who could address all of my back problems. I moved out of NY now and have to look for a new therapist, but now I have a gold standard thanks to Gerry.
Matt is great. Helped me w immediate relief and explained his thinking every step of the way. Answered all of my q’s patiently and thoughtfully. Gave me ways to proactively prevent my neck pain going fwd too. Anytime in in pain, I’m going to go see matt
