On Saturday, I had an appointment for a much NEEDED massage at Vance Wellness. Initially, I…read morecouldn't find the entrance, which was around the corner on 39th Street. Not a big deal, but in case you are interested in receiving services at Vance Wellness, it's good to know. Once I arrived upstairs, I noticed how clean and well kept the waiting area was, along with hand sanitizer dispenser, and a thermometer on deck. While the previous appointment was settling his business, I waited briefly, as Tommy Vance is pleasant, but definitely professional. Tommy proceeded to clean the room and change the linen before I was allowed to enter. We had a little conversation about my concerns, and reasons for a massage. To get to the point, it's been quite some time since I have had an actual real-deal massage. Tommy is THE REAL DEAL! None of these smoke screen fake massage places with untrained people that could potentially cause injuries, or make existing issues worse. I was definitely happy to have found Tommy Vance! Knots that I didn't know existed were undone and I felt good... the next day, I felt and still feel great. I look forward to my next appointment in a few weeks ((( insert BIG SMILE)))!

I bought 8 adjustments from groupon and walked into their clinic on 11/21/2017 only wanting to make…read morean appointment since i was in the area, when i went in, they told me they don't do "walk ins" and i said i only wanted to come in make an appointment but then i don't know what changed because the lady at the front desk suddenly asked me if i wanted to do the first adjustment today. maybe someone cancelled their appointment or something and they have a open slot? i don't really know... but i agreed to it right away without a second thought. since it was my first time at a chiropractor i was a bit nervous, especially since i wasn't expecting they would take me in right away. but Dr. J was very patient with me as i was trying my best to describe the problems i'm experiencing and how much my body feels off. I got my x ray done and we went over it together. he even allowed me to take a pic of my x rays with my phone when i asked. but anyways, he explained the problems i have and it turns out i had multiple problems more than i thought i had before i went in. the adjustments were fast and smooth, i didn't experience any pain during the adjustments and instead it feels weird in a really good way. dr. J told me i'll experience soreness on my back the next day but i didn't feel any soreness at all. the next morning(yesterday) i woke up and everything felt normal, no soreness, no nothing. so i decided go to gym and everything feels normal as usual until i started doing my first workout of the day, and WOWWWWW! my entire mindset just changed, i did 16 pull ups in a row like my body is as light as a feather, i felt so much stronger, so much more explosive power and faster than before like my body has been reborn overnight. the max weight i use to struggle with for my back days workouts just became so much easier to pull like it was nothing and i really wasn't expecting that at all. I am so glad i decided to find a chiropractor!

The spa and lounge is amazing. Customer service was on point. I met with Bella and she was…read morewonderful and very friendly along with giving a lot of recommendation. I did a lash lift, eyebrow wax and was to do a Brazilian but change my mind last minute, Bella was under standing and offer me a facial instead which was about $10 more, but she waive that fee. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is because I had a slight burn around the area where my eyebrow wax was done, I'm not sure if it was because my face was a bit sensitive from the facial. I will go back and try some of the other services.

It's clean and they practice social distancing. In addition to my massage I had a silk press. I've never had a silk press before so I didn't know what to expect. However I was pleasantly surprise how It came out. The only complaint I have would be, they were under construction and throughout my massage I could hear men talking and nails etc. dropping. Also I don't like having men in the salon when I'm Getting my hair done. I wish they could have their own section. Other than that it was a great experience. My new favorite place.

Just had my first visit with Dr. Brown, I experienced a level of physiological recalibration and…read moreneuromuscular balance that I did not think was possible in a single session. His clinical precision, diagnostic acumen, and holistic understanding of human biomechanics created a profound shift in my physical and mental well-being. Within minutes of treatment, I felt what could only be described as a re-synchronization between my nervous system and musculoskeletal structure. My posture realigned naturally, my breathing deepened, and a sense of internal equilibrium emerged. It was as though long-dormant neural pathways were reactivated, restoring communication throughout my body. Beyond the purely physical effects, Dr. Brown's approach seemed to catalyze a psychological and emotional transformation. The reduction in tension and pain produced measurable clarity of thought, emotional steadiness, and a heightened sense of embodied awareness. Scientifically speaking, it felt like a recalibration of my parasympathetic nervous system: a shift from chronic stress physiology to genuine homeostasis. In one visit, Dr. Brown didn't just adjust my spine, he adjusted my outlook, my physiology, and my sense of possibility to feeling holistically better.

I've been coming here for over a month. I went to the other location on 7th Avenue pre pandemic…read moreclosure, and both places are just amazing. The staff is so incredibly nice and accommodating. I'm forgetful so I appreciate the reminder texts and how prompt they are in responding. Not to mention their hours are late (7pm I believe) so I used to come after work for a 6pm appt The facility is really clean and I feel safe here. They take my temperature and check my oxygen levels before servicing me. I was afraid of needles (still am) but these needles are painless and after every session, I feel immediate relief. I do acupuncture for stress/anxiety, acid reflux, allergies, blood circulation and from time to time muscle aches or strains. I feel so relaxed and the massage afterwards is incredible. Both Jessie and Deena have miraculous hands and I like my deep tissue massage. I also started doing PT and Dr. Lee is amazing. I've had a bad knee since I've had ACL surgery so he's been helping me with exercises and stretches to increase my mobility and range. I've yet to try the chiropractor but I hear amazing things about him as well. I highly recommend this place!!! Scheduling is easy and available!

This gentleman's naturalistic capabilities and rare tactile as well as holistic sensibilities stem from an impressive knowledge base and wholesome desire to help. His philosophy emanates from the great teachings of masters who embrace the notion that science, Eastern and Western medicine practices and bona fide spirituality need not to be mutually exclusive. If you think I am engaging in pseudo intellectual babble, I refer you to the writings of Deepak Chopra, Bertrand Russell, Yogananda, Krishnamurti, and local New York West Sider Bill Moyers of PBS fame. His 1993 book HEALING AND THE MIND spoke of documented operations in China requiring half the amount of anesthesia used in the United States or Europe given the supplemental acupuncture which was provided. You enter Pivotal and it is not a Disney Land like spa with paper flowers and commercial proclivities. You are about to receive a medical massage with therapeutic exclamations. You enter Pivotal touch and you sense a healing energy which is expansive in its nature. The seats seem to have been crafted by a designer well versed in Feldenkrais or the Alexander Technique, and lovely Stephanie greets you with a sublimely uplifting smile that runs counter to all the contrived AstroTurf networking smirks we may encounter in the corporate world which dwells a few steps away. And then, you are warmly greeted by a master whose name is Andrew Diaz. Upon entering his therapeutic room, you begin to feel that time is suspended. I recall how I was focusing on most of my co-workers who were on vacation while I remained in New York. Thanks to Andrew's perfectly executed deep tissue massage, I felt sorry for them. Knots were melted (for lack of a better word) in places that I did not realize had them. Further, he knows exactly how much pressure or lack thereof to exert. I also took my mother who is 80 years old and she confidently commented that this was the best massage of her life. Further, Andrew knows how to listen, appeal to silence or speak. He is one of the most fascinating intellects I have come across and this is coming from a person who gets bored very quickly with small talk or persons who utilize the word "like" in every other syllable. Stephanie also is keen on sharing her knowledge with persons of all ages and backgrounds. Upon listening to them, I never felt I was receiving unsolicited advice. Again, they both have an endearing collective energy that engenders trust which is necessary in any therapeutic relationship or venture. I do not like living in New York City. Corruption abounds, rats come out before and after dusk and property taxes are draconian. However, there are gems like Andrew Diaz whose existence make you realize why you endured all the challenges.

I went to Andrew over six months ago and I debated writing this review. I read awesome reviews…read moreabout Andrew. Groupon had a deal, so I decided to give it a try. I arrive ten minutes early to my appointment, the receptionist was really sweet and gave me paperwork to fill out. Five minutes later, the door next to receptionist opened, and there was Andrew with one of his patient. He acknowledged me right away and told me he would be with me within five minutes. Once his patient left, we discussed what I wanted him to work on. By this time, fifteen minutes had passed. I make it a habit to watch the times when getting massages because so many masseuses will try to end early. So my knots are very hard, stubborn, old, and very ingrained. I've gone to numerous masseuses to work on them, and they are always surprised about how tough my knots are. Andrew was no different, he commented on how stubborn they were and got to work. Andrew massages are intense; he was actually surprised that the pain wasn't bothering me. The left side of my body has more stubborn knots than the right side, on the left aide I could feel Andrew trying to loosen them and even getting frustrated that he couldn't. He worked more on the right side then the left. He talked the whole time, which I didn't mind, and before I knew it, he said," oh, it's 3:45, we are done", and he abruptly stopped. He then walked out. I was very annoyed after he left, due to his own doing we started late, I didn't get the full hour, and massages aren't suppose to suddenly stop, it's common standard to gently and easily ease into ending the massage. I paid him, thanked him, tipped him and he explained the many different rates and packages he offered. As I was leaving, I noticed that my right side felt better, but the left was hurting because he hadn't spent as much time on it as the right. So to recap: Pros * clean office * convenient location * very deep massage Cons * started fifteen minutes late * I didn't get my full hour * the massage wasn't properly ended * left side didn't get the work it needed. I debated whether or not to go back, ultimately the fact that I didn't get my full hour, to this day annoys me and that alone made my decision to never go back. If I pay for a full hour, I expect a full hour! If they can't provide that, then don't offer it as option!!! On to the next place.
