Massage Therapy

Massage therapy works on a deeper level than muscle decompression alone. Each massage at Starr NYC is designed to stimulate skin tissue, tendons, nerves, bones, and joints through the application of light, medium, and heavy pressure on skin and muscle fibers. Lasting comfort and reduced soreness are achieved in the process.

One of the most noteworthy benefits of receiving massage therapy in NYC stems from the nature of city employment. Many jobs require long periods of desk work and sitting. In turn, uncomfortable tightness, muscle aches, cramps, and tension can develop. These symptoms are especially prevalent in the back, neck, shoulders, and hips. With deep muscle penetration and specialized trigger point decompression, massage therapy eases pain by combining mechanical, neurological, and circulation-based healing.

Although best known for relieving muscle tension, massage therapy induces benefits that span nearly every system throughout the body. These include:

• Reduced muscle tightness, soreness, and pain
• Improved blood flow circulation to assist with muscle healing
• Higher sleep quality and insomnia treatment
• Lower cortisol levels (stress hormones) and increased endorphins
• Increased flexibility, range of motion, and exercise performance

Massage therapy in New York City is especially beneficial with the high-stress that can result from day-to-day life. The feelings of comfort, calmness, and relief that come from each session facilitate total-body health and wellness.

Our Starr NYC team provides what is widely referred to as the best massage in NYC. Before your appointment, we review your medical history as well as your goals for the session. As you lay comfortably on our supportive yet soft massage table, we locate tense areas throughout your body that require pressure to achieve relief.

To help you get the most out of your session, we sometimes use rollers in a method called traction massaging to stretch and revive muscles. Sessions start at 30 minutes and beyond. Our centralized NYC massage therapy location is especially suited for individuals with busy schedules who need lasting pain relief and relaxation.
