PRESS Customer Reviews

A Symphony of Skill and Comfort:

Valeska is a GEM! I can’t believe I waited a full year to see them again. I was FLOATING.🌥️ Deeply grateful they had an opening today. I really needed this session. It was divinely guided. I also appreciated the guided breathing exercises during the massage. Thank you so much!! Please book with Valeska, like NOW! 👌🏽🙌🏽 

• Jen P. 

A Sanctuary for the Mind and Body:

I feel like I’m floating!” That’s what I said after having experienced a massage therapy session with Scott. A feeling of peace, relief and contentment. He also showed me how to tap into my healing powers to tackle insomnia when it hits. On top of all that, he had really read my intake form previously so he was well informed and prepared to see me. Highly recommend Press and Scott for sure!

• Erika F. 

Beyond the Ordinary Spa Experience:

I originally booked an appointment at PRESS because I was desperate for some stress relief and to feel more connected to my body during a very difficult time in my life. However soon after the first massage, I bought a package and now get a massage fairly regularly. The people who work the front desk are all very kind. I always book with Ryan (he is amazing!) but I’m also sure all the other massage therapists are fab. I highly recommend for anyone looking for some selfcare.

• Nadia

Building a Community of Well-being:

I received a generous gift from a friend of a 60 minute massage at PRESS Massage. After some big life changes, I decided it would be a great time to find some relaxation and relief. I booked my appointment in Greenpoint with Krystina and I cannot say enough about how glad I am that she was the one who did the massage.

First let me say, the space is beautiful and so relaxing. You get a private room and everything from the moment you walk in, puts you at ease.

The receptionist was lovely and when it was time for my appointment, Krystina took me to the massage room. We discussed the information I had put on my form, as well as what had been impacting me lately. She heard everything I mentioned, and instantly gave me comforting words and knowledge. I cannot comment enough on how she has the most warming energy and I could feel her genuineness and authenticity. It is beyond obvious that she loves her craft, cares about people, and is extremely knowledgeable about her work, because let me tell you that was one of the best massages I have ever had. I have a lot of stress stored in my hips, shoulders, and back, and she found all the spots that needed attention. She is pure MAGIC and is fully a healer! I cannot recommend going to press for a massage and specifically booking with Krystina enough. She is the best kind of vibe and thank the universe and other higher beings for putting this human on the planet! I got a fully body massage and I feel so much better after visiting! Thank you Krystina and PRESS for making my day!

Testimonials By Location From PRESS Modern Massage Customers

Columbus Circle

“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a massage at Press Massage in Columbus Circle. I had suffered from chronic back pain for months, and decided to give this place a try.

The atmosphere was very relaxing, and the staff was incredibly friendly and professional. My therapist listened carefully to my concerns and asked me questions to gain a better understanding of how my back pain could best be addressed.

The massage itself was wonderful! The therapist really focused on the areas that were causing me the most pain. He also gave me tips on stretches and exercises I could do to help relieve my discomfort.

I left the massage feeling extremely relieved and much less tense than when I arrived. My back felt looser and more relaxed, and I could tell that the massage had made a real difference in the way it was feeling.

I highly recommend Press Massage in Columbus Circle if you are looking for a great massage experience that will help reduce your back pain. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, and they go above and beyond to provide an excellent service.”

• Allyson Stone H. 

Williamsburg

Had 2 massages whilst visiting NY at Press Modern Massage- Williamsburg with therapist Joseph. The massage was extremely relaxing. Joseph was very gentle whilst also providing a good amount of pressure (if that is what you like). Receptionist was also extremely lovely and kind. I would highly recommend and would definitely come back if I ever was to visit NY again.

• Mikahl Peters

I had a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders so I made a last min appt at press with Ryan D. It was great. The perfect amount of pressure. He really focused on the points of tension and I left feeling much better. I would highly recommend him and press.

• Christina F. 

Love this spot. Went here for my prenatal massage with a lovely individual named Patrina! Highly recommend her. She was knowledgeable and relieved all the knots and tension all over my back.

• Sarah S.

Greenpoint

I’ve been to PRESS before, and have always loved my experience. I wanted to take a moment to shout out my practitioner from today , Krystina. She was so thoughtful in the questions she asked about how my body was feeling, and what I particularly wanted to address.

Her massage was so healing, and the perfect balance of relaxing while also working out kinks and tender areas. I was so impressed and left my appointment floating…and immediately booked my next appointment with her. Can’t recommend PRESS or Krystina enough!!

• Machel R. 

I basically never leave reviews, but this was one of the top 5 best massages of my life.  I try to get massages regularly (every 2 months or so).  So, I have tried a lot of studios and a lot of therapists.  Most are great.  This massage yesterday with Tatiana, however, was basically perfect.  She is incredibly skilled.  She was able to really focus on my very tense areas in an effective way without causing pain.  I woke this morning feeling like a new person.  I will definitely be back!  Thank you so much, Tatiana!

• Mary G. 

This place is definitely pricey but very, very worth it. Juan Paulo is incredible — he made my 60 minute massage feel like a 2 hour massage AND showed me some stretches to continue at home. Well worth the money!

• Nicole A. 

Union Square

Had a life changing massage with Scott. Worth every penny! This is not cookie cutter bodywork, the therapists here really customize to what you need using so many different techniques. The relief is real! Scott was so knowledgeable, sensitive, and helpful. The studio itself is also very welcoming and cute, and the linens and oils are great.

• Samantha K. 

I’ve seen Kurt three times, and he never ever disappoints. He exudes peaceful, nurturing and caring energy. He goes above and beyond each and every time. I had a sprain on my calf/ankle and he was gentle throughout the whole session. My mind usually is racing with a thousand thoughts but this time I was in complete stillness. Thank you so much Kurt, you are special and talented. You are truly gifted. PS: The Front desk manager Angel was super friendly and positive! Made me feel at home.

If you’re at the Williamsburg or Union Square location, book with him. 💫🙌🏽

• Jen P. 

I made a last minute call and was able to get an appointment right away. Meagan A. at the Union Square location was amazing. She gave me a lot of info that I had never been given at previous spas and were great. The massage was fantastic and would definitely go back.

Types Of Massages PRESS Offers

At PRESS, we understand that everyone has different needs and preferences, and tailor our sessions to meet those individual needs. 

Let’s explore the different massage options you have to choose from: 

Full Body  

Our PRESS Full Body massage covers all areas of the body. These areas include the head (scalp, temples, and crown), neck (sternocleidomastoid, trapezius, and scalenes muscles), shoulders (rhomboids and rotator cuff muscles), back (quadratus lumborum, latissimus dorsi, and the erector spinae muscles), arms (biceps, triceps, brachialis, coracobrachialis, brachioradialis, and the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscles), hips (glutes and piriformis muscles) and legs (hamstrings, quadriceps, adductors, gastrocs, and achilles) and feet. 

During this massage, our licensed massage therapists employ our Signature technique - a blend of relaxing Swedish (long gliding strokes to promote relaxation and circulation) and orthopedic Deep Tissue massage therapy (applying targeted pressure on specific areas of tension) - to help promote relaxation while releasing stress and tension from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. 

With our PRESS Full Body massage, you can expect therapeutic benefits such as increased blood circulation, improved range of motion and flexibility, reduced stress levels and improved mood, as well as reduced pain and soreness. 

So, whether you are suffering from chronic pain, recovering from an injury or surgery, or simply need to relax and de-stress after a long day, our PRESS Full Body massage can help! 

Back, Neck And Shoulders 

PRESS Back, Neck & Shoulders massage is specifically designed to target the back (upper and lower), neck, and shoulder muscles. This therapy targets soft tissues and muscle groups in these areas to help ease stress and tension, promote blood circulation, and encourage relaxation, which in turn leads to several therapeutic benefits such as reduced pain and soreness (headaches, neck tension, and back pain), improved range of motion, improved blood and lymph circulation, improved posture, and overall enhanced well-being. 

By targeting the back, neck and shoulder muscles, our massage therapists are able to provide deep healing in these areas, making our PRESS Back, Neck & Shoulders massage therapy an effective treatment for people suffering from tension headaches, too much screen time, TMJ dysfunction, carpal tunnel syndrome, “Text Neck,” Scoliosis, and sports or office injuries. 

Pregnancy 

Massage therapy during pregnancy is an excellent way to help reduce stress, alleviate aches and pains, relax tense muscles, and improve circulation. At PRESS, we understand that every expectant person is unique and no two pregnancies are the same, which is why we ensure that each of our PRESS Pregnancy massage therapy is 100% tailored to meet the individual needs of each client.

This massage therapy is specifically designed to address sciatica, headaches, neck tension, swollen feet and ankles, and leg cramping during pregnancy. 

During this massage, our licensed massage therapists use moderate pressure to work on the areas of tension while helping parents-to-be relax. We also provide supportive maternity pillows, ensuring maximum comfort and safety throughout the massage session. 

In-Office Chair Massage 

Many of us have jobs where we have to sit at a desk all day. Prolonged sitting can lead to injuries like eye strain and carpal tunnel syndrome, tight and sore muscles, neck pain, headaches, fatigue, poor posture, and circulation problems. That’s why we offer PRESS Corporate Chair Massage to help improve the well-being of office workers and help them remain productive throughout the day. 

This special therapy is designed to target the back, neck, shoulders, wrists, hands, and arm muscles while the individual remains seated in their office chair or our massage chair. Our massage therapists use moderate to deep pressure to work on the areas of tension, effectively releasing stress and reducing tension. In turn, this helps to improve posture, reduce stress and anxiety levels, enhance concentration, increase energy and alertness, as well as prevent further physical injuries from prolonged sitting.

If you are looking to reduce workplace turnover costs, make your employees less stressed and more productive, and improve their overall well-being, PRESS Corporate Chair Massage is the perfect solution!
