I came here after more than a dozen PT sessions to address a shoulder pain problem. I was 90% back…read moreto normal but at my PT's recommendation I looked for a good medical massage place and decided to try Body Mechanics. Coco was the first therapist who not only heard what I was saying but figured out precisely where my body was failing me. There are plenty of well-trained massage therapists who will deliver the textbook experience, but in over 20 years of various deep tissue, Thai, shiatsu, etc. massages, I can count on one hand the number of therapists with this uncanny ability to find the exact pressure points that need release. Coco is that rare person and I'd recommend her wholeheartedly. I was sore, to be sure, but that night I slept without pain for the first time in months. The booking experience is entirely online (though I suppose you can call). The ambience is chill vibes. Would definitely recommend and repeat if the need arises again.

I had been suffering with shoulder pain (radiating from neck base to hand) for about 6 months when…read moremy daughter made an appointment for me here for a sports massage. I had previously seen a physical therapist over 4 visits, to no relief, and never considered sports massage therapy. I booked with Vincent for my third visit after reading reviews about his ability with shoulder pain specifically. After two visits with Vincent over the course of 3 -4 months, my shoulder pain has gone away. Crazy thing is I don't even know when it went away. But I do know that after both visits I felt better circulation. Something, I can't say what exactly, but something always felt better. I did like the first two therapists and felt I was on the right track with sports massage, but I had the best connection with Vincent. One year later, which was last week, I went to see him again for overall upper body health and circulation. Vincent is professional, kind, and is knowledgeable about human physiology. Unfortunately he no longer services 34th St, only the 54th location. I recommend Vincent and all the staff at Body Mechanics.

I had chronic upper back tension that no amount of stretching or foam rolling was touching. I searched online and noticed Grand Nature has comparatively high Yelp reviews so decided to give it a try. The reviews are correct: they provide intense pressure during their massages, and there were a couple of points where I had to consciously breathe through it. My back felt looser the second I stood up, and the relief held for a week or two rather than days. A few practical things to know: tell them exactly how much pressure you want before they start, you'll hear other people's sessions through the curtains, and bring cash. If you've had massages before and left feeling like you needed something more serious, come here. I'll be back.

We arrived early for our massage and they were able to take us right back. I liked that we were able to fill out the diagram to show where we preferred they concentrate the massage and where we wanted them to avoid. The masseuse confirmed when he walked in and then showed me the timer for 60 min before beginning. The ambiance was perfect and we both enjoyed our massages. They even had a bathroom with a shower and robes/slippers for us to use after we were finished. It's a step above your no frills massage parlor! I would definitely recommend going here for a quality massage!

After my husband didn't have the best experience, I went to try it for myself. From the moment I…read morewalked in, I noticed the calm, welcoming ambience. The team was very attentive, and my masseuse consistently checked in to make sure the pressure was comfortable and focused on the areas I noted in my intake form. I actually ended up falling asleep during the massage, which speaks to how relaxing it was. I will say that, like most spas, the experience can depend on the masseuse you receive, but mine was very positive. I also appreciated that the rooms appear to be set up with couples tables, making it a nice option for those looking to enjoy the experience together.

You sign in at the lobby, then take an elevator up to the reception. I was running a little late and they were accommodating to start a little after the hour (they do mention when booking if you arrive late you forfeit the time, which makes sense since there may be customers booked after your spot). My masseuse (sorry I forgot her name!) was wonderful, very patient in waiting for me to arrive, asking if I wanted any water or tea, explaining the process and asking if I liked soft, medium or firm pressure. The pressure was accurate to my selection and she really worked on some of those knots! Felt decently sore the next day as I expected. The spaces - reception and treatment room were both set up nicely, clean and comfortable. I will say the bathrooms (which may have been shared with the rest of the floor) were a bit tight and could've been in better shape. It was the coldest day of December and my long, heavy coat was a bit hard to manage inside the bathroom stall. Didn't deduct any stars here since I'm not sure this is something they can control directly in case of a shared facility. *When I originally called to book, I thought it was interesting that they directed me to book on the website giving the reason that they'd need to take my credit card number over the phone if booking via call, versus entering my credit number online. While I appreciate the flexibility and security of passing my cc number over a website this also meant signing up for another website which usually means I'll get marketing emails that I may or may not be interested in at some point or another (aka spam). So I'm not sure if this was a persuasive selling point bc we could all use a few less marketing emails these days.

Unfortunately, my second visit was the opposite. The masseuse seemed rushed and she definitely was inexperienced, putting pressure where she was not supposed to. (it was a young girl with a poney tail) . On top of that, there was constant loud talking outside the room, which made it really hard to relax and the masseuses were talking between themselves ( we had a couple room). I'm disappointed because I know they can provide a great experience, but the inconsistency makes it hard to recommend right now. Also, please find a more pleasant and helpful receptionist , the gentleman at the front desk has 0 customer service skills.
