Cheng Acupuncture Wellness — Local services in New York

There are many Body Work massage parlors in Bay Ridge but there are significant variances in appearance, comfort, consistency, ad pricing. Massage is therapeutic and should be comforting and King Spa Bay Ridge offers a large menu of facials and massages that are much better than most other area Body Work places.

The intimate space offers distinct rooms for privacy - walls instead of curtains. My brother tried their $90 deluxe massage with hot stones for 90 minutes. He was ecstatic. I go for a relaxation massage at $50 for 60 minutes. King Spa prices attract because they are just slightly higher than the bulk of Chinese body work places, with the qualities of less affordable spas.

Possibly a key feature is that the staff speaks English. That helps you control the focus of your massage experience. Masseuses Ann and Angu are superb and consistently professional. The desk manager is cordial and inviting as well. Gathering points on a card allows for free services for repeat customers.

If seeking a facial, body scrub, or massage, there are many places in Bay Ridge. King Spa on 5th Ave @ 80th Street is an oasis that I would...

Well, the host was nice so I'll give it 1 star for that. The Massage therapist was eating when I walked in. Presentation 101. Regarding the actual massage, I always have a problem when the massage doesn't feel complete or cover the whole body. The feet were untouched, as were the front part of my legs. And there we're certain parts of the massage that just felt weird, like as if my bones weren't in alignment. This massage seemed all mixed up compared to my experiences elsewhere. I will say that the temperature was even so I will give another star (2). I hate when massage places are cold. The massage therapist spent some time massaging me with a towel (which was a little rough) on top of my body. In this case, I would have preferred getting right to the oils and rolling away. Also, I just read another review (after the fact) about the tip being put in an unnamed envelope and possibly not getting to the massage therapist. And of course, I gave the tip to the host and who knows if the massage therapist got it now that I think of it. I don't understand all the 5s really but it is...

This place is a gem! I tried acupuncture treatment for my nagging right ankle— after 3 sessions with Dr Cheng, the inflammation was greatly reduced. I’m glad to be back in the gym lifting lifting heavy on leg days again! Despite some soreness every now and then, it feels so much better than months ago. I will definitely revisit for more acupuncture sessions. Dr Cheng is attentive, mindful and asks the right questions.

As for the massage treatments— my wife and I are so thrilled to find a place in the neighborhood we can visit regularly! We’ve been coming in monthly for 60 minute deep tissue massages. The masseuses are professional, and knows how to apply the...
