PRESS Massage Williamsburg — Local services in New York

I got a gift card for the holidays last year and was happy to give Massage Williamsburg a try. My therapist listened to my list of back woes and focused on those areas. The facilities are clean, quiet and relaxing. After using my gift card I continued to go because, although it is a bit pricey, the cost was worth it. Every time I left feeling like I was walking on a cloud with a back made of jello, loose, relaxed and completely de-stressed. I've also had massages in Chinatown (Manhattan & Flushing) and while those places are much less expensive and do get the job done the facilities, while clean, are very bare-bones and are often loud as you can hear other customers in their appointments - they are not as relaxing. I've also gone to places that are even more expensive and are really in the spa category and I would say that the main difference is the decor, not the services rendered and at Massage Williamsburg you are getting a similar massage treatment for a little less cost than if you go to a "spa". I would highly recommend Massage Williamsburg. One note: do not show up late, they are on a tight schedule and your appointment ends at it's scheduled time regardless of when it begins - this was a little bit of a downer for me since I was traveling far via subway and trains are not always on time. Otherwise, great place for a massage, your back (feet, whatever)...

Short and sweet review: COME HERE!! You won’t regret it at all. I got a wonderful prenatal massage. I was unable to sleep at night because of aches and I slept like a baby once I came home. I’m definitely coming back here. I feel reborn. DEFINITELY WORTH EVERY PENNY.

Long detailed review: I woke up the morning after my massage and i just HAVE to write a review. I was skeptical at first coming here … but the moment I got off that elevator the ambiance was beautiful the moment I walked in. The receptionist was the sweetest receptionist I’ve ever met. Greeted me so nicely. Gave me such a warm welcome but filled with such beautiful joy and an amazing personality. And my massage therapist, Jermi with the afro!! MY GOSH. BEST PRENATAL MASSAGE EVER!!!! Thanks to him I slept like a baby the night of. I was unable to sleep due to horrible body aches for weeks. I went and he took off so many knots. I walked out there feeling like a feather, so refreshed, like a whole new person, new body… I finally felt like myself again. So much weight literally got lifted out of my body. I could cry because he literally saved me sanity, these body aches were no joke. I will definitely be coming back here and going to ask for the same...

I've now had two massages at Massage Williamsburg and cannot say enough about their professionalism and commitment to quality care. My first with Kazu was for the usual stress-induced aches and pains, though he found the source of my pain in a real way...not just a "relaxation" massage, though I left restored. Outstanding work!

The second was more recent and more specific: I've been having shoulder pain for most of this week and was worried I'd done something serious to it. I booked a session with Jali, who listened to my explanation of the pain and asked targeted questions. We discussed his treatment plan of trigger point work and stretching, then he got to work. I've never had a therapist identify and fix the source of my pain so readily. His communication throughout was top-notch, leaving me confident that I was in good hands. I entered nervous that massage might injure me further, and I left with full use of my body again. I'm writing this the next day and cannot believe how whole I feel!

Rachel (owner) has really taken massage to another level. I cannot recommend this business...
