Katy is truly exceptional at what she does. From the moment the session began, she was attentive and intentional, making sure I was warm, properly covered, and completely comfortable at all times. She consistently checked in about the pressure and adjusted seamlessly. At one point it genuinely felt like she had ten hands working at once with how thorough and skilled her technique was. Her myofascial release work was intense in the best way, deep and effective without ever being painful. She worked out knots I didn't even know I had. Beyond the physical relief, she also provided thoughtful insight into why I was feeling certain areas of tension and gave me practical advice on improving my posture and sleep habits to prevent future pain. With over 20 years of experience, it absolutely shows. Katy is knowledgeable, intuitive, and incredibly skilled. I left feeling better, lighter, and more aligned than I have in a long time. Highly recommend. read more

Katy is phenomenal. I've had many massages in my life, and she blows everyone else out of the water. I walked out of there with all the knots in my shoulders and upper back gone, my shoulders felt like they'd dropped a solid inch lower from my ears, and I got an actual consult for the first time in my life on why my legs have always been so tight. I felt like jello when I left. Couldn't be happier. Money well spent. read more

As soon as you walk into Eastside Massage you feel a relaxed vibe. It's quaint, yet still transports you away from the hustle and bustle of city life. My massage therapist, Esmeralda, has magically healing hands and puts love and gratitude into her touch energy. She made me wonder why I'm not getting a massage more often. The experience certainly changes you - for the better. It truly is body therapy. I took advantage of a 2 year old gift certificate from my niece and scheduled a 90 minute Swedish massage. Hint, hint, they never expire. Esmeralda was so skillful, offering up gentle and rhythmic strokes and deepening hand and elbow pressure when working out my knots and kinks! We had minimal conversation, because I like it like that. But Esmeralda did offer words of encouragement, support and hope when I shared one of the stressors that I've been dealing with - the cause for knots in my neck and shoulders. She was caring from her heart and through her hands. And I needed that. I'll be back. This place is such an Upper East Side treasure. And smile at the pic of Jennifer Hudson in the lobby! You'll get 5 Star treatment too! read more

See all

I am quite satisfied with the level of service that Eastside Massage provides, each and every time I go for a massage. I only wish I had more money to go much more often!! My husband and I both love you guys! read more

Stacey was amazing! I feel so much better! My right shoulder blade was causing pain, and she helped alleviate it. She listened well, and her technique was perfect. read more

Kelly is the best massage therapist in the US!! No exaggeration (I have gotten massages at spas across the country). And the setup with private rooms is really nice, very tranquil. read more

I had a wonderful massage with Kelly, she relieved all the tension in my neck and shoulders from sitting at a desk most days. Kelly listened to my needs and delivered exactly what I wanted. The massage business was very clean and had an inviting atmosphere that will definitely bring me back again! read more

Great, thorough, professional and timely service. Very clean and relaxing. Lovely atmosphere and my therapist listened to my needs and feedback. I've been about three times and will definitely be back. read more

Heylen was amazing! I felt so much better when my hour was up....although I would've loved to stay longer!

Peter was incredible! He released tension in muscles I didn't even realize were tight, and took the time to explain how that tightness could affect my body long-term. His pressure was spot-on-firm enough to be effective, but still completely relaxing. One of the best massages l've ever had! read more

Fabulous experience! I took my daughter for a prenatal massage and a massage for me. We had a great experience, from check in to leaving. Esmeralda was my masseuse and Ali was my daughter's. I would highly recommend and we will definitely go back. read more

Ice-lean is the best!!!!I really enjoy my therapeutic massage ‍ Will come back for sure

Almost hesitant to write a review because it's one of my all time favorite hidden gems of NYC. Nicole is one of the best deep tissue massage therapists ever! She is so in tune to the body and so quickly finds the trigger points. She is so amazing and skilled at working hard on them to release them. She is very firm yet also gentle, and never talks through out the session. The entire facility is always very kind, professional and warm and welcome! Highly, highly recommend! read more

Brianda was so attentive to the therapy my back, shoulders, neck, and jaw needed. It was an investment into my health & well being. Also relaxing and enjoyable. read more

As a novice in the massage world, I was really happy with my 60 min massage. The facility is sort of hidden with all the scaffolding. Upon entering the reception area, the staff is friendly and the facility is really quiet and clean. From my observations, looks like a lot of regulars attend. I would definitely come back. read more

I had a fantastic massage and I booked my next massage for longer right after. It's a calm environment and the room was very cozy with a heated bed. I also liked the massage lotion, it felt more like a balm and was unscented. A really relaxing experience, cannot wait for my next massage! read more

Highly recommend Esmeralda! She went the extra mile to ensure I had a wonderful experience. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Ashley was so attentive. She applied just the right amount of pressure. I enjoyed the massage so much and hope to return soon.

I suffer with Occipital neuralgia. I have head, neck and back pain. I scheduled a "headache massage" my therapist Nicole was awesome. Not only was my massage wonderful, she gave me recommendations to help with my chronic pain. I will be back, hopefully once a month. Thank you Nicole!! read more

Nicole was amazing. You can tell she's extremely knowledgeable about the work she does and she answered all my questions in a kind and thoughtful way. The place was clean and quiet. The receptionist was sweet and professional. I can't wait to go back for my next massage. Worth every penny. read more

Efficient and kind reception - skilled and intuitive massage therapist - request Lynn!

My husband and I have been going to Eastside Massage for several years and it's always been a great experience. I was really impressed with my most recent session when the massage therapist looked at my appointment history and saw that I had come for a prenatal massage a couple years ago and deduced that I must have a toddler that I have to pick up. That attention detail is so appreciated and made me feel well taken care of. read more

Ashley was terrific and the front desk person was super pleasant. I love Massage. This place has professional and talented staff and therapists. read more

Kimberly was an amazing massage therapist and helped immensely with my pain. She worked on every sore & spasming muscle I have & I left feeling a huge amount of relief! I also appreciated the massage therapists wearing masks for protection as a lot of my pain is a result of long covid. (For those not wearing masks-they are optional. I personally appreciated the extra care) Will definitely be back! read more

It is a clean and a peaceful space! And, Judy is simply the best!! You won't regret making an appointment with her.

Eastside Massage is always very clean & quiet. Esmeralda is amazing & really helped my back!

Icelean very professional and knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly. Highly recommend!

Anastasia at the front desk is amazing. She was very accommodating when I was late, and sent me back my necklace via mail (!) in a very thoughtful package (!) My massage was great too. But the service at this spot is pretty rare! read more

It is consistently the Best in NYC that I've gone to for the past 25 years!! The environment is Serene and Quiet and Very Clean and every Masseuse is Excellent ! The price is reasonable and they offer a full service menu of many different types if treatment's. The staff is top notch in booking appointments and ensuring you get what you need! read more

I've gotten wonderful massages here. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the prices have skyrocketed

I had a great experience for my first time today at Eastside Massage Therapy. I don't often get massages, saving them for special occasions and I'm so glad that I booked my appointment with Gigi today. She was absolutely phenomenal, making sure to check in during the session if I was comfortable, and if she was applying the right pressures to my sore spots. I had the 1 hour therapeutic session and would highly recommend this business and Gigi to anyone! read more

Robin was amazing gentle caring. It was an awesome experience. The office was. Calming and clean to perfection.

From the return phone call, the demeanor of Robin and the fluidity of booking, my massage was a fabulous experience. Everyone wore masks, hand sanitizer everywhere (even the pens were sanitized!) The center is clean and the level of professionalism is stellar. My massage therapist Karine took me in a few minutes early so as not to cut into massage time, and proceeded to ask all the right questions. During the massage she answered when spoken to and remained quiet when needed; just perfect. The table was heated to perfection! I will definitely be returning as well as recommending to my husband and friends. Pro establishment. read more

Eastside massage is really wonderful. So glad I discovered it - I especially liked working with Sepali for prenatal massages throughout my pregnancy! She's so great. Facilities are basic and very well kept/clean. read more

I received an excellent 90 minute deep tissue massage treatment from Olga. Thoroughly professional in every way. Great communication with me on everything from environment to pressure. I'd recommend Olga to anyone in search of a high quality massage treatment. read more

I have been going to this place for over 10 years used to love it until recently. I have always seen the masseuse Joe. Recently, Joe left and they will not tell me where he is now, his last name or his phone number. I understand that there is reason for privacy but I find this extremely rude. They care more about keeping me as a client than helping one of their former employees. These masseuses rely on their clientele to support their lifestyle and by not allowing me to contact Joe directly makes me think very differently of this business. If anyone knows where Joe is or how to contact him, it would be greatly appreciated. read more

This place is is a gem! Professional, clean, good value, efficient. What else is out there? Highly recommend!

This is my second attempt to post a review about the excellent experiences I have received at Eastside Massage. The place itself is clean and orderly and the massages I have had have been really good. I have felt confident in recommending this place to others and always got positive feedback. I've had massages from several massage therapists and while all were egood Jasmine was particularly thoughtful in recommending movements to help me deal with a chronic frozen shoulder. Also useful is the fact that the place is open 7 days a week and so convenient for getting an appointment. read more

I recently went to East Side Massage Therapy and had an amazing experience. My therapist Kimberly was very skilled and professional. I left feeling so relaxed and pain free. The facility is very nice and comfortable. I highly recommend anyone looking for a massage to go to East Side Massage Therapy! read more

Great massages! Would recommend their Swedish and therapeutic massages. Referred my husband here for his stress relief and marathon training. 5/5 for actual massages; loses 1 point because if you get one of the two rooms near the front you can often hear reception/people talking and that's happened more than once. I also found masseuses I liked a lot and some I've been able to rebook, and others have left or work limited schedules. read more
