This masseur, John Roberts, rocks! A triathlete friend told me about him, made me an appointment during a break from a work visit to New York. The room is very peaceful, located within, but not part of, the Feldenkrais Institute. John has numerous plants along the wall facing 26th Street, and sets up a very Zen atmosphere. John is not only an experienced licensed massage therapist, but is also a licensed acupuncturist and is board certified in acupuncture and oriental medicine. I highly recommend you look at his website for further details. The massage was incredibly relaxing, soothing. John is very professional, and perceptive of when to talk, when to be silent, when to use more force, when to use a very light touch. He provides advice as needed. At the end, he provided warm towels for more relaxation. John receives my highest recommendation.
