Remedy Massage

I had an amazing prenatal massage with Christine yesterday – I wish I had been going my whole pregnancy. She was so considerate to the problem areas I have had during pregnancy (especially late pregnancy) and made it really easy to relax and feel comfortable (which I find is always the hard part when finding a new massage place). Highly recommend!

I had a 30 minute reflexology appointment… quite high price and what I got was a foot rub. It was clear from the beginning of the appt that it would only be a foot rub… and that the masseuse was making it up as she went along… what a waste of $ 70. Never again. If I want a foot rub, I can drop into the many establishments available in NY for a fraction of the price. For reflexology this was a real ripoff.

I had massage with Marta, and she was amazing. She has a special touch. I don’t think I ever been so relaxed after massage, and I do them quite frequently. I had the best sleep for the next two days. Really recommend her.

I have so far had 90 minute deep tissue massages from Stephanie and Marcie. They are both excellent masseuses, as I am sure all masseuses at Remedy are. The atmosphere is warm, relaxing and friendly. So glad I found Remedy in my neighborhood through Unilocal

Remedy Massage has become a regular part of how I take care of myself and I can’t imagine life without them. They regularly unknot my shoulders, draw the tension from my neck, hips and back, and generally help to address stress. I’m always a little taller when I leave, breathe better, and definitely feel the positive effects of a good massage.

I have been going to Leigh and her team of massage therapists for years, and I have to say — this place just keeps getting better. They have recently moved into a larger space, but still in the same convenient UWS location, and have added more therapists to be able to accommodate more clients. Everyone I’ve seen here has been knowledgeable, and great and what they do. I’ve been a professional dancer and yoga practitioner for 15 years and I’ve had a ton of massage and manual therapy in that time and this is the place I keep coming back to. Get yourself a massage at Remedy today! You won’t regret it!

I have been going to Remedy for 4 years now, and I have always had exceptional massage therapy work here. As a photographer aches and pains in my arms neck and back are a frequent side effect and the very knowledgeable team at Remedy has always been amazing. I like their attention to detail, and an overwhelming desire to not only make sure you leave feeling relaxed and refreshed but they also give great advice on how to prevent repeat injury and help me strengthen and stretch the muscles properly. They are a true therapy provider with only the best and most knowledgeable staff. They really help you understand your pain and where it comes from which is a huge step forward in preventing and managing it. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

I must agree with Nerma’s review. I’d try this salon again post pregnancy, but my prenatal massage was one I was praying would be over almost as soon as it began.
Honestly, my masseuse was younger and a very cute girl. BUT! She was texting on her cell when I arrived which was totally fine; it might have been a scheduling thing. But then I went to the bathroom in 5 seconds flat, and she was back on it. Then the cell kept vibrating messages through out my massage.
As for the massage itself, hard pressure is not what I was looking for. It’s really got to be a relaxing experience where you get pampered rather than leave feeling really sore. There was one spot in my back where I swear she was digging into my kidneys. I had to ask her to stop so many times. My body even started cringing from pain. We just didn’t connect. She wasn’t picking up what I was putting down. It was a painful time and I really left disappointed. After saying «maybe not so hard and so long» on multiple spots, I just gave up and hoped for the best.
Then for the extra time I booked, she had me lay at an obtuse angle against some sorta wedge so that the entire baby was pushing on my cervix. I’ve done pregnancy massages before and was kinda shocked that she thought that this would be comfortable for someone in their 3^rd trimester. It seemed so novice. I had to explain why I was uncomfortable the whole time and I never got any feedback like she understood.
All this being said, this was just one massage artist. I cannot attest to all of them. I think the idea of the salon is right, priced well, the location is ideal, and the room was clean. And I read other reviews that gave this place great marks. So just perhaps avoid if you are pregnant unless you want to see for yourself. Or if you are pregnant, I would ask the owner to help you choose your massage therapist.

Although a massage novice, I had a top-​notch experience with Stephanie — she was fantastic and did an awesome job! I felt refreshed and energized after, as she did a great job relieving my stress and tension all throughout my body (particularly the knots in my back). She was attentive, thorough, knowledgeable, and was happy to chat and make suggestions for home remedies, too. And, of course, the massage was excellent — she even made sure to hit all the parts of my body even if we had gone over a few minutes in terms of the hour — and I’ll definitely be going back. Thank you, Stephanie!
Also to note: I received a warm welcome from Leigh, the owner, once I walked in and appreciated that. A great place in the UWS!

If you live in the UWS and are looking for a no frills massage by an excellent masseuse, then definitely check out Remedy Massage. I was able to grab a last minute appointment and upon arrival I was taken right back to a clean, private room for my massage. My massage therapist was excellent and focused on the areas that I requested. I will definitely be returning to this location for another massage and would highly recommend this place to anyone.

I finally decided to treat myself to a prenatal massage. After much searching, and almost going to a place in Brooklyn, I found Remedy Massage; cheaper than any place I found in Manhattan.
I arrived a couple of minutes late because the train was stalled. The lady who answered the phone was sweet and understanding. I still made good time and Marcie greeted me at the door. She was petite with a sweet demeaner and soothing voice. She explained everything and made me feel very comfortable.
The massage table and cuchions were comfortable, the sheets were cool, and the atmosphere in the room was relaxing and soothing, with peaceful, meditation music. The massage was soft and gentle. If I had been feeling discomfort I would have asked for more pressure and I’m sure Marcie would have been very accommodating. Every part of the massage was wonderful but my favorite was the scalp massage. People forget that the scalp needs loving too and it’s all too often neglected. Massaging the head instantly relaxes the entire body.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will make time for frequent visits in the future.

The place is really peaceful, as soon as you get inside you start to feel relaxed. The massage was really good, I hurt my back by doing some intensive workout and now my back is not hurting anymore, it’s just perfect. Stephanie was kind and attentive that the pressure was not too hard, which I appreciated. I will go back there for sure.

I hurt my back yesterday so badly that I could barely walk and in fact had to lie on my living room floor for most of the day. In the rare moment i could get up, I found the Unilocal reviews for Remedy Massage on the UWS. I made an online appointment for today – easy peasy. Marta is a Goddess. She spent an hour working on the injured area and by the end of the session I practically jumped off the table. My inflamed disk thanks her, as do I. Don’t hesitate to bring your injured body here.

I was looking for a prenatal massage, and found Remedy on Unilocal.The cushions they have that accommodate any height person or tummy size are great to allow you to lie comfortably on your stomach. I had been to a different place that had a cut out and sling, which was not comfortable even at less than 20 weeks pregnant.
Marcie did a fabulous job of getting at the uncomfortable spots, so much so that I bought a package of 5 massages. Marcie’s massages get better each time I go.
When it was difficult to buy the package on the website, Leigh was very responsive, got it fixed and followed up afterwards to make sure it worked for me. Last night she even managed to book an «emergency massage» this weekend when it didn’t show on the website. I am very happy to have found Remedy for prenatal massages!

I saw Marcie for a prenatal massage several weeks ago and I must say I was a little disappointed. I went in feeling a lot of lower back pain and tension in my shoulders due to pregnancy, and I left feeling exactly the same. I don’t have any underlying issues, just tired and sore from being pregnant. I had such great expectations from all the wonderful reviews, but this massage did nothing for me. It did feel nice and Marcie was gentle and friendly, but I was hoping that the massage would relieve some of my pain and discomfort. I really wanted to love this place since it’s clean, everyone is friendly and it’s really close to my apt, but my search for some relief continues.

I saw Marcie today for a deep tissue massage and it was great. I usually go to Exhale and love it there, but this is in the neighborhood and just as good! Much better than Bliss (not a fan). The price is also lower than the big spas, so this is a win win.

I went to Remedy Massage for a prenatal massage and it was fantastic. The therapist had great technique, confidence and experience. I’m 35 weeks pregnant and it was exactly what I needed to easy pregnancy discomfort and stress. I already scheduled my next massage.

Thank you Stephanie for fixing my broken body. Feel like a new person. Highly recommended if you have muscle soreness or pain.

I had an «emergency» massage at Remedy today with Stefanie after I spent the last week with horrible neck and shoulder pain due to stress. I was able to book yesterday easily via their website for a spot today. So while this is not a last minute option and it’s unlikely that anyone will answer the phone when you call, it is easy to book online in advance and on somewhat short notice.
The location is quiet and calming. It is not a spa, so there are no frills. But the room is immaculately clean and the white noise and light instrumental music is soothing.
Stefanie was amazing. She is small but mighty! She helped me so much with my pain and gave me tips on how to further alleviate the pain. When I wanted to talk, she was happy to chat and the conversation was great. When I quieted down, she also took that as her cue and there was silence, which was so appreciated. I give her service five stars and I will never get a massage at spa again knowing how powerful and healing it is to go to a massage therapist.

I got an excellent massage from Karen this morning. I had booked a sports massage but explained that I also had some tension in my body due to work, and I feel like she did a great job understanding my body and giving my calves (from running) and back (from work) the attention they really needed.
The space has no frills, but the space is comfortable. At some point during the massage, I could hear a door slam in the office next door, but otherwise I felt undisturbed.
I wouldn’t hesitate to book Karen again. Really glad I found this spot.
