One of the best massages I have ever had. Robyn is a great practitioner and provides great feedback.

I came to New York on a get away. I had a massage from Robyn at Manhattan Massage. It was the best hour and best massage I've ever had. Thank you Robyn. read more

Me and my wife were visiting NY on a 4th of July weekend to refresh. My wife is a researcher so she knows what she does and she picked Robyn. I already was impressed as she was approved by wify! Some stuff went wrong that day as we had to reschedule the first visit (our hotel was 2 blocks otherwise it would've been a very negative point as I did not receive the notification). The appointment was at 5, but the previous massage took about 15 extra minutes so mine started around 5:18, and being me, I was there at 4:45 (on the website it says to come fill some forms, so I went earlier in case that takes unexpected time) so I waited a good amount with no one in the front desk. I was already frustrated by this time. Then around 5:20 we started, Roby first checked out my posture and got some idea of how my body is and gave me some feedback which was nice to know. Then the massage started. I had some lower back pain as well as some stiffness in my neck. I forgot to tell her about the neck but mentioned the lower back. I have no idea what kind of massage I went through, but it was a whole-body surface and some areas in deep tissue. It is an oily massage so expect that in your dressing. Starting from back upper/lower, right hand, left hand, right leg, left leg and flip over and almost the same on front. The massage table is fairly comfortable and the ambient was nice. I think the speaker quality could improve, maybe one of those wireless/Bluetooth Costco sound bars help!? The whole session took about 65 minutes (including some rest at the end) and I was done around 6:25. Roby does not rush the massage and does not compromise. At the end of massage, I was feeling comforted and satisfied even though there were some technical difficulties at the beginning (the ones mentioned above). The doorman was nice and polite. The Men's restroom surprisingly was locked and needed the passkey, so you better think twice if you plan to use the restroom there! Thank you Roby, hope your business thrives, A visitor from Chicago! read more

Robyn is INCREDIBLE. She knows exactly where your tensions are and listens with her hands. I feel the most relaxed I ever felt after a session with her, plus I feel the long term effects. She adapts your massage for what you need and she really cares. Super recommend her! read more

One of the best massages I have had in my life. She found everywhere I was sore without me even having to tell her. A warm, smart, confident woman I felt totally cared for and safe during my massage. She is the real deal, not just giving you the same massage routine she gives everyone. Her understanding and mastery of soft tissue work is very apparent. Highly recommend read more

Totally clean. Great service. Reasonable price. This is a bit more expensive then the Asian salons that you see around that offer a deal. It is also where expensive than random coupons that you see. Actually, you are getting a highly qualified professional that can really help you. I could barely move when I walked in and when I walked out I couldn't believe that most of my pain was gone. I would highly recommend Robyn. I've been getting massages all over the world for decades and I have to read this as the best. read more

I've been an athlete for most of my 75 years and had a lot of bodywork done to deal with injuries and in general to loosen up. Robyn is actually the best I've run across. She's not afraid to get in deep, and she senses what needs to be done. After two sessions, everything in my body is circulating better. Better chi! If I lived here, I'd do like 8 sessions with her to undue stiffnesses and get tuned up. She's an extraordinary bodyworker, and outstanding for athletes (like runners).

I have had several Thai massages from Robyn and really derive a lot of benefit from each 1.5 hour session. She offers single Thai massages or you can purchase a series that is designed to work on different parts of the body with different techniques over several sessions - I recommend the latter if you have the time and budget. Much better and more personalized service then you get in a spa. And Robyn's knowledge of nutrition and posture has helped me improve how I take care of myself outside the session. read more

I found Robyn Rubenstein at Manhattan Massage from a google search a few years ago when I seriously injured my lower back doing pilates. The massage I received from her was life changing. I felt immediate relief that lasted several days. She has an amazing energy that made me feel relaxed and taken care of. In addition to the massage we talked about my exercise and activities, and she gave me great tips to help prevent muscle strain. As well as life tips and advice. She is a wonderful person, and I really enjoy my sessions with her. If you have only ever had a 'spa' massage, I strongly recommend seeing Robyn. It is a whole other world. read more

Wonderful place with unique vibes! And Robyn is so calm and grounded - her beautiful energy definitely got transmitted and impacted me during the session. She worked the magic - I don't exactly know how but with some gentle touches, she was able to soothe some very stubborn tenses and I feel so much relieved after the session and also a lot better for days after (and the good feeling still continuing!). Robyn is also so caring and professional, we talked about the chairs and pillow I have at work place and at home and she made some really good suggestions. I love the essential oil she uses as well. I feel very lucky that I have found Robyn and I hope you can have a wonderful experience as well! read more

I highly recommend Robyn (aka Manhattan Massage). As soon as I met her, I felt like she was interested in healing me holistically. She has such a warm presence and nice personality. She is also incredibly skilled - I came to her for acute pain I felt in my wrists because of carpal tunnel and back troubles, and within an hour she was able to make the pain subside. She also gave me advice as how to prevent my pain/injuries from recurring. I think she is one of the hidden gems of Manhattan! read more
