Well, surprised that the owner would even respond in such an immature manner. I suggest you take this second updated response as a lesson on how to accept criticism. Clearly your ego is inflated from all the other clients you have. What works for them may not work for everyone. You should be ashamed of responding to an honest review as if you're being attacked like a child. First of all why would anyone be jealous? Comical actually. What does jealousy have to do with providing an underwhelming service. I purchased this service as a gift and am a more than capable of conveying the message for my partner. We assumed based on other reviews you would be a good fit. I have the free will to express that you indeed were not a good fit. Clearly by your attitude you have some inner work you need to focus on. Sometimes experience doesn't necessarily mean quality. Yes you have knowledge, skills even, but maybe they are outdated. Maybe you should ask how strong of a massage someone wants. Especially if someone is physically active they may require a stronger more firm massage. Maybe your body is tired and you try to get away with doing the bare minimum. Whatever the case I suggest you clean up your cluttered office space, and adjust your attitude. Consider me your karma. I would give you zero stars if I could. This is not some random person. We have an actual receipt of purchase. Hope you have a the day you deserve. read more

Knovy is truly a master at his craft. I write this review after an incredible 2 hour massage. I feel rejuvenated, relaxed, and whole. My energy feels re-aligned. I've been going to him for about 2 years now, and have always left feeling like it was a wise investment to partake in self care. If you're considering a massage- don't delay- book Knovy- you won't regret it! The office is so warm, and inviting. I love the soft lighting, knowing I'm entering a safe comforting place. Knovy helped with my body when I was pregnant and even a month up to my due date. He was an excellent masseur for prenatal massage, and post partum as well! If you can't tell already- BOOK him! Buy a 5 massage pack and schedule in advance! Make it happen! You won't regret it!! read more

See all

As someone who suffers from chronic neck and back pain, Knovy provides a great relief for me! He is professional, knowledgable, and accommodating. I highly recommend. read more

From beginning to end Knovy was so articulate in explaining everything and answering all my questions. The room had a calming effect. His office was clean, well kept. He did such a meticulous job and explained function. His approach is holistic and focus is on rebalance. If you want a professional who truly knows what they are doing, you need to come here. I highly recommend him! read more

The massage you've always wanted and needed. Knovy is amazing. That's it, book your appt! All of the services are great, if you want a special treat, the TMBI is incredible. read more

I've been getting STM massages every 2 weeks from Knovy for 2 years now. I can't say enough about how professional and personable he is. I always feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed during treatment. I really like how he customizes the massage and uses different modalities to really make sure that he's addressing your concerns. When I was diagnosed with migraines in February, he even learned techniques to help relieve my migraine pain. Knovy has helped me with anxiety, high blood pressure, stiffness in my shoulder and knees, migraines, and even my diabetes! He's truly a gem ! read more

Usually I go to a chain massage place and pay the same for a sub par massage that feels fine but doesn't do much to benefit you long term and I leave feeling disappointed. This was a totally different experience. Knovy is so knowledgeable and takes the time to understand what areas you need worked on before getting started. The most relaxed I have ever felt after a massage and I already plan to go back! read more

The best massage I've ever had in my life. I have so much tension from my pregnancy and breastfeeding over the last couple years and after just one session I feel like there's hope. Knovy is so kind and easy to book with via text. Thank you so much Knovy! read more

Best massage I've ever had! I feel so much better now and already can't wait for the next session. Highly recommend

I would've left a 4 star review for the great pressure and length of massage. BUT as a woman obtaining a massage from a man, I have to wonder why it is that I felt as if he was consistently rubbing his crotch up against me? It was hard enough for me to question whether I was overreacting until a moment where I was laying on my stomach and felt his entire "package" placed in my right hand while laying on my stomach with my hand by my side. I've had many massages since then and can honestly say I know what is appropriate and what is not. This massage was INAPPROPRIATE. I'm humiliated and ashamed to have wasted my time there. Women beware. read more

Knovy is an excellent massage therapist. He takes the time to know you and understand the issues you are having before starting work. I liked the combination he used of deep massage and Thai massage to address the problem I was having. My balance was better after my visit and I believe I have more movement in my arm for a muscle issue we addressed. I look forward to going back and highly recommend his services. read more

Working from home had triggered my cervical pinched nerve to act up until I feel pain radiating down to my arm. I know I needed an manual kneading to get relief. I just move to the area and was canvassing an artful LMT. I was lucky that he was able to squeeze me today. He was very kind and you can see the art in his technique. I've been to many LMTs and very critical. Glad I found him to include in my wellness routine. read more

Very effective. I highly recommend. He is a licensed massage therapist. Nothing weird about him. read more

Knovy is amazing! I had my first professional massage with him and I felt great afterwards. I am getting back into dancing again and sometimes my body gets sore from all the movement. I'm also trying to increase my flexibility. Who knew that massage can help with that?? The office is very clean, and we take our shoes off before we enter. The ambiance is great, no bright lights just soothing music and positive energy. I will keep going to work on my muscles and increase my flexibility. I am also trying to get my mom to come and get a massage but she's afraid. I'll convince her eventually lol. read more

Knovy was recommended by a friend who happened to work with him in the past. Very professional and accommodating to my need. It was my first session few days ago. If you want to go deep he would and immediately know if you can handle it by your body reaction. Already booked my next session. read more

Knovy is fantastic! I went in for a massage after having some back pain from being on the computer all day. I'm not sure what magic he did, but by the time I walked out, I felt so much better -- and still do months later :) We started with an initial assessment and walked me through what he wanted to do. He was sweet and professional from the time I called to when he walked me out the door. I'll be back! read more

Knovy is amazing! He is so professional and is keen to understand. He is patient and gives attention to details. I have taken two sessions so far with outstanding results. I will be more regular. read more

I wanted to wait a while before writing a review. My mother and I had been having the same type of pain for a while that sometimes it wouldn't even let us sleep. I was tired of it and looked for something on Yelp, that's when we found Knovy. We booked an appointment and just through our communication on Yelp I felt welcomed. We arrived to our appointment about 20 minutes early so we had absolutely no problem waiting. We walked in and the place was very clean, with cookies and water set up while we waited. We explained to Knovy the problems we were having and he listened very attentively, genuinely caring about what we had to say. He fixed our center of gravity, and got on with the massage. The room itself had a very calming feel to it. After the massage Knovy explained some things we could do in order to try to avoid the pain we were having. It's been about a month or a little more, my mother and I feel amazing! My posture got so much better. We no longer feel the same pain we had, besides the soreness I get from working out or from work. I would absolutely recommend Knovy to anyone looking for a good massage experience. I'll definitely be back after I get back from vacation and I can't wait! read more

I have known Knovy for over 5 years. Originally we met at Bliss Spa. Knovy understands muscle and body mechanics better than any other massage therapist that I have ever known. Knovy can correct body imbalances, assist with physical injury recovery including post surgical, and muscle fatigue and repair from post work-out overuse. I have followed him faithfully since no other masseuse has the knowledge base needed to physically improve your body's overall total health. It is medically known that regular massages decrease body stress which aides in weight loss and prolonged life expectancy. Overall Knovy is punctual, professionally, sanguine, informative, and stays abreast on perfecting his techniques. I would NEVER use another massage therapist other than Knovy. Trust me that you won't be disappointed! You'll walk out of your session wishing it wasn't over and excited for the next one!! Riticia A. read more

I've been treated by Knovy for over 2 years now, and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else in NYC. He is very knowledgeable and highly skilled, and on top of that is totally professional and always kind. Would recommend to all -- in fact my family members go to see him too! read more

I have been an competitive bodybuilder for 15 years now and have just changed to powerlifting and I have regular massages, so i know a good massage and a bad massage. Knovy is neither, he is exceptional. His knowledge of the body structure, muscles and mechanics is brilliant. This was the best massage i have had. Pressure was on point, he worked all my areas of concern and stretched me out. Knovy has great chi to, which is imperative in a massage. Highly recommend. read more

Ive struggled with neck pain for many years and it's only gotten worse. I've tried physical therapists, muscle relaxants, everything. Today I just had it and was having the worst headache ever that was coming from my neck, and decided to give him a try. He accommodated me super quickly right after work and assessed me to see what my specific issues were. His massage was out of this world!! Im definitely coming for a follow up. The only downside was when it was over :( read more

I truly admire and appreciate Knovy's work and skills. He knows all the right pressure points to realign and stretch out my body. I always walk out of his treatment room feeling 10x lighter, balanced, and de-stressed!! Thank you Knovy! :) read more

This is the best massage I've had in New York!! Very knowledgeable and professional. He gave me an initial assessment and asked me questions about my problem areas and gave me tips on how to keep my posture healthy. He took his time and was very thorough in the 60mins. Felt incredibly relaxed after massage. Since I was a first time customer, I got a free upgrade to his signature massage! I'm definitely going back here for my next massage and would highly recommend this place for anyone in the area looking for a good massage. read more

Location: Less than 3 block from 7 train with very short streets between Sunnyide and Woodside. Space is safe and clean, treatment room is very relaxing and inviting. Massage Therapist: Knovy is a wonderful person inside and out. He is warm, cheerful, and listened to my needs and concerns. He was very patient and answered all my questions. Massage: When I came in I explained that this would be my 4th treatment since I had some issues with pain, numbness, and tingling in both my arms and hands for the past 3 days. I had seen a doctor, 2 massage therapists, and a Chiroprator prior to him. I asked for Simply Therapeutic with cranial therapy added. The massage from start to finish was perfectly paced. He listened to my body and really took his time around the areas of my concern and then some. Draping was immaculate, I never felt exposed or vulnerable. Overall: The day after coming to Simply Therapeutic, all feeling returned to both my hands. I have not had any repeat symptoms since. I will be coming here again soon. Whether you are looking to relax, or looking for something more rehabilitation, or therapeutic, you will be with good hands here. read more

I've never had a massage in my life. Recently, I've had some serious neck pain. Simply Therapeutic was the highest rated massage therapy place closest to me. I now see why it is 5 stars. Knovy walked me through the whole process and explained everything. His work on my neck has improved things quite a bit. I'll be looking to book another session with Knovy soon. read more

If you are hesitating I will encourage you to go and try. You will be in good hands. Very professional, knowledgeable, kindest person. top quality of care. The ambiance is not superb, but ambiance is not why you will come back. read more

Knovy Nicolas is a great massage therapist and I absolutely recommend this place. When I first called I was experiencing one of the worst neck contractures of my life (I had been carrying this contracture from months and it had become kind of chronic and I was having headaches for many days in a row). First, he understood my situation, was considerate about the urgency of my call and managed to squeeze me in his schedule for the next day. Secondly, the massage was like medicine. The next day I was 70% better and as the hours went by I kept feeling better, lighter and even my ankles that were not the reason for my visit started feeling better as when you put oil in a machine. The next week, I scheduled a second visit and after that visit I completely recovered. He is clearly a skilled massage therapist who knows how to restore the body's healthy energy flow and is the kind of therapist I would recommend to anyone like me who has a terrible neck contracture/back pain and needs a professional therapeutic massage, but also to anyone who wants a relaxing experience. His massage might hurt at some specific moments as any good massage does when working with tension knots in the body but the experience as a whole is completely relaxing and restorative: his knowledge of different massage techniques along with the relaxing music and various combinations of hot towels create the perfect ambiance and experience. 100% recommend this place and Knovy Nicolas's massages. read more

Simply Therapeutic is simply the BEST! I've been seeing Knovy now for a little over two years once every couple of months and the results on my overall body and mind health have been outstanding. As someone who carries a lot of tension from sitting at a desk for hours, sometimes hunched over and unaware, I've benefited from Knovy's services tremendously. Over the past 4-5 years, I've been dealing with some minor disc herniation which transfers over to (manageable) hip pain. If I'm ever feeling more pronounced pain, and the usual stretch or Yoga class can't remedy, I immediately schedule an appointment with Knovy and each time, he fixes me right up. You will feel rejuvenated, refreshed and invigorated every time. He's detail-oriented and wants you to feel better. And I must say, I've improved significantly. read more

Peter was quick in diagnosing my muscular pain.An initial relaxation massage progressed to a deep message locating the trouble spot which with further massage was a relief.I was quite surprised how effective it was.Peter diagnosed the problem and formulated exercises to do at home to continue the relaxation of the major muscle.A very personable guy who puts you at ease.I have every confidence in his knowledge and skills as a massage therapist. read more

Had an extremely positive experience!!!! I've been looking for a place that I want to come regularly. I found my spot!!!

I came in with overall muscle and joint tension, and was able to relax more than I usually can during a massage and felt the blockages in my chest and my hips finally journey towards opening, after many aggressive self attempts, and I also received deep stretches in those areas. The neck massage was also bomb and more thorough than to what I was accustomed! I appreciated his timeliness, greeting me at the door and addressing every single issue I wanted worked on despite the constrained time schedule (I had work right after). Needless to say, I had a great mood at work and was able to get a great night's sleep. At the initial assessment, I got to experience his quality and skill set as things were also made less awkward and more comfortable. It's a very beautiful, intimate healing space. You can tell the years of passion and knowledge by the aesthetics & aides in the massage space especially. The products chosen, the table, massage cream, thick and thin sheets, warming pads he maneuvered swiftly and seamlessly, the music choice, were all Excellent! Obviously I'll be back lol read more

KNOVY!!! This man is a miracle worker. I came in with an extremely stiff neck, shooting pain and overall extreme discomfort. He took the time to listen to me and explain to me exactly what he was doing. I had no idea how "off balance" I was. His technique was amazing and I can't say enough how much better I feel AFTER this massage. The entire experience is comfortable and calm because of Knovy. It was life changing. He just gained another customer because I will 100% be going back. Thank you Knovy!!! - Victoria read more

Made an appointment and had an exceptional experience with Knovy. He is professional and experienced. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in need for an amazing massage. read more

Knovy was amazing. This was absolutely one of the best massages of my life. So knowledgeable, intuitive, really wonderful. It is a little expensive for me, but is actually very reasonable considering market rates of massages in NYC, as well as his skill. It was worth every penny. (yes - you can get a cheaper massage, much cheaper, but those are rarely more than just the "basics", impersonal, "better than nothing" kinds of experiences; with Knovy, you are in the hands of a master - I'll be saving up $ to go back. I'd like for this to be my regular massage place from now on. Can't recommend enough! :-) read more

Knovi is so great!!! My back and in general my body was in so much pain, but after my first session everything changed. Now I'm looking forward for my next session which will be tomorrow and every moment, when I have the chance, I reccomend him because he really has started to change my life. read more

I visited in June and waited to post my review. My experience was wonderful. I truly recommend Knovy he is amazing!! I had extensive pain in my neck and sharp pain in my occipital bone from the stress at school and work. Knovy was able to immediately diagnose the reasons for my pain and how to help me. Knovy is very knowledgeable and his hands are magical. I haven't gotten those pains again. read more

Knovy is the man! He's definitely the fix me up guy. I play a lot of sports and along with stretching, knovy knows how to help me restore my muscles, and structure ready for more physical workouts read more

I am long time believer when it comes to massage. This was hands down the most complete bodywork I've had so far, and I'm not young. It's more than massage. His Hybrid technique takes the best from different modalities and blends them into a therapeutic experience. I will be back the first chance I get! read more
