Ocean Bodywork — Local services in New York

I booked an hour long head massage with a female masseuse. The massage overall was decent but service was not very good. My masseuse was male and there was no acknowledgement of this…whats the point of asking me which gender masseuse I prefer when I book? I then told my masseuse no oil and he still put oil on my back. My masseuse is also yelling in another language to another worker, who is outside, disturbing the peace as I was relaxing. Finally, even after these issues, I still decide to tip 20% and the lady at checkout reprimands me, saying I should be tipping more as my friend tipped more (she got a different service which was more expensive). This was very rude and not professional…I felt very uncomfortable even though I was tipping 20%! As I was leaving, I checked the receipt and saw I was charged 10% extra…I guess maybe a credit card fee but again no mention of this! I’m pretty sure this is illegal too as it’s way over the credit card processing fee limit and it wasn’t disclosed either. Terrible service, do not recommend....

Great no frills massage therapy studio. The other reviews aren’t kidding when they’re talking about the deep tissue. I don’t think I’ve had a deep tissue like this before. I love a deep pressure massage but this may take the cake! (In a good way! Get ready to practice your breathing exercises)

My therapist immediately clocked the knots on my body. Knots I didn’t even realize were there! This was all about precision and I really appreciated that I could tell specific areas were really being targeted vs just a standard massage. He also checked in several times to make sure the pressure was just right.

I also loved that my therapist really got into the glutes and hamstrings as well. I feel like at many places those areas are neglected.

Overall I got a 60 minute deep tissue and a 15 minute reflexology. I’d definitely come back. Good pricing and a...

I have to say this was the best massage I’ve had. I got my massage from Jimmy and he was persistent in relieving my muscle spasms. I’m a weightlifter with thick muscles and Jimmy was able to really dig in there with his strong hands. He also communicated with me to ensure the pressure was just right for me. I can’t say enough about how awesome Jimmy is! I wish he was my dad! Lol jk

I’ve been here once before with another masseuse and she too, was persistent in getting them out, which is exactly what I needed. I’ve been to a lot of places to get my spasms out and I’ve left unfulfilled and frustrated because they just aren’t thorough enough but this place has been consistent and I’m very very appreciative that they can really help people. This place is a diamond...
