Hands For Bodywork Massage Therapy — Attraction in New York

I was lucky enough to be referred to Alex through a friend and I am so grateful! After having back to back pregnancies and my most recent with twins arriving a year ago, my poor body has suffered to say the least. I was experiencing what I would describe as chronic back pain and it was keeping me awake at night and was just getting me down. Since I have been seeing Alex for massage sessions I can honestly say it’s the best my back has felt in the last 3 years. Alex listened to me describe the pain and where exactly I was feeling it and managed to pin point it immediately and I now count down the days to my appointments! I find Alex to be a true professional at his skill, he is very knowledgeable about the body and I enjoy his company. Alex is always punctual and prepared with everything and I cannot say enough positive things about him. The massage is just consistently excellent, he has a firm touch and I also think the sessions are incredibly good value. Alex always asks for feedback, however for me, just gets everything spot on. He did ask me if I would like to try cupping therapy on my back and it has made a huge difference in releasing the tension and discomfort, so this is something I would recommend and I look forward to having done when he visits. Alex has also had appointments with my husband who suffers with hip pain and he too echos my review. In his words, ‘best massage he’s ever had.’ Our only issue is now if we ever treat ourselves to a massage somewhere else - ie if we go away on holiday somewhere, we know it will not measure up and...

I found Alex online in the midst of coronavirus epidemic. I felt a little bit uncomfortable about in-house appointments but since I had no other choices (all massage places were closed), I decided to give it a try. Let me tell you, right after our first session I changed my mind about in-house appointments completely. Alex came to my place fully prepared. His professional and warm manners, very comfortable massage tables ( that, btw, accommodate pregnant ladies as well), classic music and essential oil use promote a peaceful mindset as well as physical and mental relaxation. What is the most important, Alex is very knowledgeable and clearly understands how body works. Not only he helped me alleviate tension and pain in my neck, shoulders and face as the result of Bell’s palsy, but he provided just right amount of pressure to release tension in every muscle of my body. Alex has this physical intuition and attention to detail that help him to find every problematic spot of the body. I had four appointments with Alex and my tense spots have been becoming softer and more relaxed with every session. Not only he uniquely crafts massages based on my complaints but he creates a unique experience with every session adding knew techniques while massaging same areas of the body. I recommend Alex wholeheartedly to anyone who needs a professional massage provided by punctual, respectful and...

Hello, I am a Power Yoga Instructor in Brooklyn with an average of 15 physically demanding classes taught per week, plus a daily personal Yoga practice. I am also a disabled military veteran with shoulder and knee joint soreness and arthritis. With daily high demand and stress put on my body I struggle with muscle soreness, stiffness, pain and discomfort. I have always sought body work for relief to my symptoms, but no one has ever come close to helping me reduce my pain and stay healthy than Alex S. of HandsForBodyWork. I have been Alex's regular massage therapy client for the past 8 years, and recommend him to virtually anyone and everyone who longs for skilled and professional service right in their home. To me, the man is a body healer of the highest caliber, a true consummate professional in his field and a great human being. I don't think in 8 years that I have known him has he ever been late, missed an appointment, or caused me discomfort. I can't say enough good things about him and his therapeutic massage service because, personally, I greatly value him and the positive mental and physical effect he has had on my career, life and general sense of well-being. Highly recommend! Thank you, Alex. Your...
