About Us
The mission at Massage Space NYC is to provide professional and nuanced massage therapy where the focus is on the quality of work, not the clock. Referrals come from long-time satisfied clients, New York’s Broadway and Ballet communities as well as doctors and chiropractors who prescribe massage for acute injury, chronic pain, stress reduction and performance enhancement.
Therapeutic Massage sessions are crafted with an eye toward resolving chronic problems using a variety of techniques including various forms of massage like Swedish, deep-tissue, medical massage, shiatsu and Thai massage while also including rehabilitative exercises in the form of stretching and strengthening exercises.
Massage Space is certified by the NCBTMB (National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork) an organization that certifies continuing education providers, which allows Massage Space to offer classes and workshops to the massage community and also provide space for teachers to develop new workshops.
