I think (2) of the reviews here were meant for another massage spot. I can tell because it didn't make sense. My rating is for Quantum Vita Body Therapy located on Newark Avenue. The reviews here are most likely for a place that has a bunch of massage people working there and that's not the same spot. If you check on Yelp, you'll see really good reviews, unlike what I'm seeing here. Also, the image is wrong and showing 250 1st street - which is not where Quantum Vita Body Therapy is located.
As for Quantum Vita Body Therapy, the minute Betsy started massaging me I knew she knew what she was doing. I've been getting massages for MANY years and I could tell she knew and understood the human anatomy. I have back issues and build tension quickly, first the neck, the the shoulders and then throughout the mid back - to the point where it can get stiff and even spasm. Her initial warm up had already made my body relaxed and flexible and she started going to work.
I felt so appreciative that she truly understood and knew how to manipulate the fascia and muscles. I've been to masseuses who don't understand how the muscles work or how to break the tension apart. They either avoid the area or only work one area disregarding other connected parts. Betsy was thorough. I'm definitely going for another visit. I was a little sore the next day but that always happens with a good massage. Just drink plenty of water to flush out the toxins.
The place is small, but it's fine. It's about getting to the core of the matter: breaking down the knots to start relaxing and having the body feel better.
She's worth the money because your body gets worked and you feel...
Read moreNever in my life had I ever gotten a massage. Didn’t know what to expect. My neck and back had been sore from over use and stress, and then I came to Quantum Vita. Best decision I’ve ever made. Not only is the ambiance perfect, everything is very neat, organized and clean, but Betsy the owner/operator is about as knowledgeable professional as it gets. She knows exactly what she’s doing and best part she tells it how it is. When the pressure may be a little intense, she would let me know. She told me why she was doing what she was doing and even used the most luxurious hot stones. My back and neck feel so much looser and relaxed but the overall experience and customer service is more then enough to have my business again and again. If you live in the Downtown jersey city area, you must check out this spot and book an appointment as soon as possible, you’ll be...
Read moreI have had massages in the past and I’m rather selective when it comes to deep tissue massages. I work out a lot and stand on my feet all day. Betsy at Quantum Vita is the only massage therapist to help with my chronic back and neck pain. For such a petite female she is incredibly strong. She has this technique switching between the perfect amount of pain and relaxation. And probably most importantly she is exceptionally knowledgeable in her craft. She is passionate about what she does and it shows. I’ve been going to her weekly now and I’ve actually gotten stronger in the gym, more nimble at work, and just generally feel better. She also puts just as much if not more effort in each time I see her....
