Strong Fingers Bodywork

OK– now we are talking– they dropped their prices. Let me tell you this may be THE best deal in the city. $ 35/​hour for a massage? Like I said previously, it is not a fru fru cucumber water spa, but if you can get past that, it is a fantastic massage for an even better price– highly recommend. Actually– I think I may had over now!

So, this place isn’t even a hop from my house. I don’t know how long it’s been there, but I was desperate for a massage.
In comes Strong Hands, a place you’d find in Chinatown. Dumb inexpensive, yet you wonder if it’s any good.
I decided to take a gamble. I could afford to at such an inexpensive rate.
Let. Me. Tell. You.
The best massage I’ve had in years. I’m not exaggerating.
I personally like someone who focuses more on my back, then my arms, followed by my legs & feet.
She did exactly that. ²⁄₃ of the massage was dedicated to my back & I throughly enjoyed it.
I melted into the table. Cooed definitely. I never wanted it to end.
And it’s down the block? They just earned a regular customer. But I’ll only see the lady who did me. No one else.
You know who you are…
Unless your colleagues are just as good as you, if not better.

I went to this place last night, because it’s nearby my home, but when I just have my massage, I found I was wrong, the smell is like stale, and the rubber don’t know what she doing, I decided one hour body massage, but I just did about 20 mins then Just leave there, no more back !

Visiting my daughter in NYC this weekend and decided to grab a massage. Just walked in, nice lady greeter. Clean massage room, not a Spa! but all in all had a very nice massage. I’m 56 and had a few massages in my years. I’d go back…

My lower back was quite sore by Friday of this week and I needed to loosen up some very tight muscles. Things started out bad when I couldn’t even explain to the person up front that I preferred a room in the back instead of right next to the payment area. She could not understand what I was saying. Then when the masseuse started the massage, I mentioned that I did not want anything too hard, just medium. She could not understand ANY English. Someone else had to come in to explain it to her. I also could not explain to her to stay away from certain areas due to small injuries. All she could say was «Sorry, no English.» There were other times she was focusing way too much time on the same area, but once again could not communicate. It’s completely ludicrous that you can’t communicate with the person giving you a massage. I had to stop the massage before it was finished out of complete frustration. Would not go back here even if it was free.

Great deal! I payed a total of $ 64 for an 80 minute massage. It was a very good quality massage. I went in very hung over with extremely sore feet (after a night of dancing) and I feel much better. My only complaint is that I actually asked for 90 minutes which would have gotten me the face massage, which I really needed, in my condition, but I goes the woman didn’t understand me. I will definitely go back. This is a great bang for your buck!

Seriously the best massage I’ve ever had… I’ve paid hundreds of dollars for an hour before but this $ 40ish massage was by far the best I’ve had among them. Ask for Jenny she’s the one who massaged me.

My trainer recommended this place and my shoulders & neck has been very sore lately due to high levels of stress and increased weights during workouts. My body definitely needed some R&R.
I do not get massages often, this is likely the 4^th time in my life that I’ve gotten a body massage (not counting feet massages).
You go up a stairway to a door with a welcome sign. A short and skinny Chinese girl greets you with Chinese (if you are Chinese) or passable English. No waiting for a walk-​in when I went on a Sunday afternoon. I selected the 60 minute massage. After letting her know the massage you want she leads you to one of the curtained stalls/​rooms.
Everything’s pretty clean, the lights are dim, there’s low instrumental music in the background. You should take off all clothes except your underwear and lay facedown on the table. The masseuse girl comes to check back in a few minutes to see if you’re done.
She covers you with a large towel and gets to work. After the towel covered full body run through, the masseuse puts oil on your body and works methodically. She will get hot towels to wipe you down and do a final kneading using those towels.
I have a bruise on my back the same night after my massage, it wasn’t the good pain/​sore that stayed with me for days after my massage. If you go whatever you do, do not mention special areas as this will cause the masseuse to work you over until you’re sore for days afterwards in those areas.
Open until 10pm on Sundays so I assume on other days as well.

I used this service 2 days ago. It’s clear the masseuse is unlicensed because she has no specific technique and I have had a professional massage before so I know. But she was pleasant and when I told her «not so hard», she seemed relieved because she really WAS pressing on my back very hard, and that’s exhausting! For the price I think it’s okay. It’s like having a friend rub my back.

This place lived up to its name. The masseuse was strong and thorough and I felt so, so relaxed after my 45-​minute massage! The place is clean and the room, though divided by curtains like most other Chinese massage places, felt spacious and private. The prices are pretty typical for a Chinese place — $ 20 for 20 min, $ 28 for 30, $ 38 for 45, and $ 48 for one hour. I gave a tip, which they clearly didn’t expect.
The place just opened, so I’m not sure what availability will be like later on, but I was able to walk in with no appointment and get started right away. The only downside is that no one there spoke much English, so they didn’t ask me if anything was hurting, if the pressure was too much, etc. Also, as I was led to the room, I asked if I should take everything off and the manager said yes. It was only after the massage that I saw the sign on the wall saying please keep your undies on. Oops! I was an unintentional perv.
