Back and foot in Lower Manhattan

Long hours at a desk, standing at work, commuting and walking through New York leave the back, shoulders, legs and feet asking for attention. Our Back & Foot treatments are designed to give it to them.

The Treatment

One session, from your shoulders to your soles

Selected services may include acupressure, deep-tissue techniques and hot stones.

We start where the tension is worst, usually the upper back and shoulders, then work down through the lower back, legs and feet. Pressure is adjusted throughout — tell us at any point if you want more or less.

Treatment times starts @ 15 min, so you can book a quick refresh between meetings or settle in for a long, unhurried session. Complimentary hot stone therapy is included with selected Back & Foot services.

What's Included

Three techniques, one treatment

We do not ask you to choose a modality from a list. Our therapists read the body in front of them and use what the session calls for.

Acupressure

Focused, sustained pressure on specific points along the back, shoulders and feet — the traditional foundation of the treatment and the part guests feel the longest.

Deep-Tissue Techniques

Slower, deeper work through the layers that hold desk tension — upper back, between the shoulder blades, and the base of the neck. Always adjusted to your comfort.

Hot Stone Therapy

Warm stones placed and glided along the back to help muscles release before deeper work begins. Complimentary with selected Back & Foot services.
