Day Spas With Massage in New York

Massage sits on well over a thousand New York spa menus, and the range is wide: Swedish, deep tissue and hot stone sessions, prenatal massage, Thai and Chinese massage, shiatsu and foot reflexology. Every one of these day spas and massage studios offers massage, as its own menu shows, from Chinatown studios that take walk-ins to hotel spas and upstate day spas that book by appointment.

Massage therapy is a licensed profession in New York. State law allows only a licensed person to practice it or to use the title massage therapist, and the State Education Department's Office of the Professions has an online search to verify a license. Before you book, ask which styles the therapist practices, how long a session runs and whether you can choose a male or female therapist.
