I was lucky to have met Pilai. She understood my physical difficulties from being in a car accident. She gave a great Thai massage. She used Acupunture points, stretching, she used her elbows; arms and feet.All the best kinds of treatments. She cared about me and I feel much better after her gracious amount of time she spent with me .I’d come back again and again.

Pilai the owner is very skilled at giving a Thai massage. She is intuitive, strong and gave me a very relaxing and restorative bodywork. From the very beginning of your session, she takes care to understand what your unique needs are and caters the massage appropriately. Look forward to my next session with her.Thank you so much Pilai!

Nice. Respectful. Accommodating. Excellent massage therapist who is attentive to the tensions in your muscles. She will work with your problem areas that you request, and also make recommendations for your next appointment in accordance to what parts of your body she feels are tense and also need additional attention. This massage is good for physical and mental health. Best in the city.

Highly recommend and totally worth the price. Ive had many Thai massages (including 10+ in Thailand) and this was among the best. Pilai came to my home (following all Covid protocols and being very respectful of my place). My back had been hurting for months and in 90 minutes my tension just melted away. Pilai hit all the right spots, with the right amount of pressure, in exactly the right order. She really understands the human anatomy and you can tell that she tailors each massage to where she feels tightness.Will book again without hesitation (this will be the first time I go back to the same massage therapist in NYC). Cant wait!

It was my first time receiving a Thai Massage and I absolutely loved it. I felt completely safe in letting Pilai lead me through all the stretches and bends. It almost felt like a dance. I could tell how knowledgeable and experienced she is as she thoroughly worked through my body, giving extra attention to my problem areas (shoulders and neck). She did arrive late to our appointment, however I didnt mind since she communicated with me along the way and I didnt have other plans that afternoon. Overall I think shes fantastic at what she does and would confidently recommend her.

I have been going to Pilai once in a while for a few years now. What all the other reviews are saying is accurate: she is a truly skillful therapist with experience and it is obvious she knows exactly what she is doing. Clear and respectful communication in terms of bookings and new Covid-policy. My favorite Thai massage therapist in New York and it‘s easy to give my highest recommendations! Thank you Pilai for always being amazing!

Well, this was my first Thai massage and the best one I’ve ever had. Just what I needed for my tight muscles. Pilai is gentle and polite woman and at the same time very skillful. I am so grateful!

I recently booked and had my first Thai massage with Pilai on 11/9/2019. I’m in my 30’s, am active, have been to several very good massage therapists in the NJ/NYC area, and use massage as a form of preventative maintenance, to improve mobility/flexibility and to alleviate injuries.Pilai’s massage was the best experience I’ve had to this point! She is extremely knowledgeable in understanding body motion and mechanics and her technique and wide range of ways to massage/release muscles is incredible. I had a 90 minute Thai massage and upon starting, she’d asked if there were any areas I’d like to focus on (leg/hip mobility in this case), and she went to work in the most thorough manner I’ve experienced. She’s also very kind and relaxing in nature.I’ve booked my second appointment and plan to make her a regular part of my body care work. Can not recommend highly enough!!

I have had massages of every kind and in many countries, including Thailand. Working with Pilai in New York has added years to my life. She is an intelligent and compassionate healer. Her passion and her deep instincts are what set her apart from other masseuses. Her knowledge of anatomy and her deep understanding of the interconnected parts of the body combined with her physical strength and generosity identify her as a most valuable masseuse, a partner in health, a real gift for those in need of a massage. I would recommend her even to those who think they dont need a massage. New discoveries abound when one begins to work on the body. Pilai is a great guide and healer on the path toward relaxation and health. I encourage you to give yourself this wonderful gift.

Pilai is amazing!!! If you have never had a Thai massage you must go see Pilai. I was in town working 18 hr days and my legs, back and feet were really hurting. Pilai’s massage and stretching methods worked magic. I walked out feeling so much better. I highly recommend booking an appointment. Your body will thank you!

Pilai is a total expert: highly skilled, intuitive, strong, kind, careful and thorough. I am working with her for several different issues. She is able to focus on more than one problem at a time and can really find the deep tightness and release it. I would recommend her to everyone!!

Pilai is a godsend. I have a regular, more easily accessible massage therapist but refer to Pilai as the nuclear option for serious pain. I suffer from spinal arthritis and can go into serious spasms that leave me moving like the Tin Man. Pilai does an incredible job of stretching and releasing and always gets me moving again. She is extremely knowledgeable and versatile in her approach to the work and it seems that she can rise to any challenge! I wish that I could manage daily Pilai massage! She is truly gifted and a cut above the rest.Hillary...Brooklyn

I have had many Thai massages both in the US and Thailand. Pilai is one of the best! Her new space is clean, comfortable and welcoming. Her massage is flows well and is on point. Dont be misled by her size, she is strong! (but obviously, if you dont like deep massages, she can do that too)

You cannot do better. Having broken my back 3 times I have logged several thousands of hours of massage. Pilai is flat out the best therapist I have ever had. If you know massage then you will instantly appreciate all the skill and the advanced techniques Pilai puts into her sessions. My only regret is this is only a 5 star rating system.

Review №28

Just got off a long flight and went to see Pilai to get my muscles back in place. The new location is brighter and more contemporary, definitely appealing.What hasnt changed is the quality of Pilais craft; I had a lot of massages around the world and shes top notch without reservation. Her signature massage combines different styles and shes addressing problem areas accurately and with just the right pressure.Pilai has a calm personality and remains focused throughout the session, so dont expect any chitchat. But if youre looking for a great massage in peace, then this is definitely your place.

Pilai gave me the best massage I have ever had and I don’t use those words lightly. She is extraordinarily talented and most importantly she relieved the back and foot pain that has been bothering me for two months. I would recommend her to anyone in need of pain relief or preventative care.

I am her regular customer for last 5 years. I book her every time I have got stiffness on my body especially my back. My job requires some heavy lifting and carrying of equipment. Also, I play soccer regularly.I feel better and lighter every time I got her treatment. She can work on depend on what your problem is. She combines traditional thai massage technique with other methods like stretching and massaging. I am not flexible, so her technique helps me a lot.Highly Recommended.

Pilai is absolutely amazing! If you are feeling any kind of back, legs, or any particular pain in your body she will apply an overall therapeutic massage to make you feel A LOT better when youre walking out the door. Definitely recommend her to anyone!

Pilai is an ultimate professional who is dedicated to making her patients healthier. I have been her patient for over six months and can attest to the results. If you have ever taken a Yoga class and later in the week had a Swedish massage to relieve your aches and pains you will not need to do both after having one session with Pilai. I highly recommend her and Thai massage to anyone who is seeking pain relief whether it is from exercising and/or stress.

AWESOME - Highly Recommend.Due to a back and hip issue, I have received thousands of massages and hundreds of Thai Massages ( even in Thailand ).I was in NYC over the weekend and my back pain flared up so booked a 2 hour appointment with Pilai. She combined a variety of techniques to find the issues and relieve my pain.Pilai is not only well trained but also has great natural instincts when working on the body.I live 1.5 hours from NYC but will make the trip to visit Pilai often.Today is a better day because of her help last night.Thanks!

Pilai is very talented. My husband and I have visited her every time we go to the city for the past few years. We tried 3 other thai massage therapists in Manhattan before we found her, but she is by far the best. On a day we visited I was having a terrible spasm in my shoulder that kept me up the night before and by the end of the session I felt much relief. Really incredible! My husband feels very relaxed after her thai massage and a sense of calm.

Review №42

Having ruptured a disc several weeks ago and having had littke time for treatment after only being diagnosed 2 weeks ago, I arrived in Manhattan in severe pain. Acute groin and glute pain along with non stop sciatic nerve pain doen my entire leg, ankle and even my big toe I was desperate. What a difference an hour with Pilai has made. I am amazed and extremely thankful and grateful for the work she did on me.I wqsnaware during the treatment that this was clearly someone whobwas truly gifted and very aware of even the most subtle connections of the way pain travels throughnerves, muscles, ligaments and the way the skeleton reacts to adjusting practically every other limb to compensate.Quite simply the best single treatment I have ever had and thats saying something considering I have been a sportsman all my life and also had various surgeries and recuperation providers throughout my life.Pilai is a superbly talented provider and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I shall certainly be visiting again not only before I leave for the UK but also for maintenance and preventative treatment during my trips back to NYC.Thank you Pilai for such a world class servoce that has left me enjoying my walk aroubd this evening and being pain free which has been a relief and a joy
