Massage America is awesome. I have been a regular for three years now. I usually work with Nick, but have worked with other therapists and have always had a great experience. I've tried other resources but choose to work with Massage America because they are super excellent and consistent. Both locations are clean, pro, relaxing and staff is friendly and helpful.
I mostly go to the Printing House but have also had massages at the Union Square location. The atmosphere in both locales is classy but relaxed. My massage always begins with the question "anything I want to work on today?" As a performing artist, the answer is "yes!" Every time, the therapist is tuned in and aware.
This place is super artist friendly. Greg, the owner, is excellent with customer service and sympathetic to artist folk all the way. I first learned about Massage America on the Actors Equity website, and I was impressed from day one. Massage America is generous to working actors. As a working, professional actor I have to think about costs and making ends meet, since the arts often mean flux in weekly income. Massage America helps by offering a discount to professional artists, so we can do our thing healthy, ready and wise.
My weekly massage helps my performance work and my lifestyle, since auditioning and performing are exciting but can also be demanding with a lot of "go getter" drive needed. My massage is "golden" time for me.
I rave about Massage America to all my friends. They have flexible hours, day and evening at both locations, seven days a week. What more could an actor want to take care of mind, body, spirit? Working with them is a great complement to my other movement and body work (dance, etc.) and lets my muscles relax and heal.
I wanted to write this as a thanks to Massage America for being such a great resource for NYC actors and other folk. I look forward to working with you guys in 2009, for sure. Many thanks and Happy New Year.
Pros: Super Quality Massages and Artist Discounts.
Cons: WIsh I Could Do it Daily It is That Excellent
