Alex provides the most amazing massage therapy I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve had a million. Literally nothing like it. Been dealing with muscle pain and severe tension for years and he’s the first person to really get at it- he has a different approach and is incredibly strong and understands the anatomy of muscles in unique way. Can’t give a stronger rec!

Alex was absolutely professional, warm, attentive and caring. I come from a CrossFit / functional fitness background, so my body needs extra attention. He assessed my weaknesses and area of strengths to give me a massage I actually needed versus what I may want. I highly recommend Alex! I slept so soundly the nights after my massage, it was magical.Best massage of my life!

Highly recommended by a massage fiend (me)I get massages on the regular and have a few goto places but Alex is a level above the rest. I go to different places for different issues, but when I am feeling unbalanced or have specific aches, I will go to Alex for a tune up. He is friendly, knowledgable, and thorough in finding and treating the root cause of any muscular issues you might be experiencing. You can choose between a more relaxing or therapeutic style massage depending on your mood.

I was lucky enough to have Alex as a massage therapist when I first moved here around 2015. I have neck and back issues. I had whiplash from car acccidentts in the past and then sitting at a desk all day doesnt help. Alex is one of the very few massage therapists that you notice a significant difference from when you go in and when you leave. Thats VERY rare. I will only go to Alex for massage, end of story. Alex is amazing. As long as I am in NYC he is it for me!

Had a wonderful experience with Alex. I was looking for someone who could provide me with relaxation I wanted paired with the therapeutic muscle work I needed. Alex was both these things. He was not only very knowledgeable about how the body works but was also really helpful with recommending treatments, and simple daily corrective exercises I can do myself. Very much looking forward to my next appointment with him.

My experience with Alex was astonishing. His intelligence of the body associated with his professionalism and deep knowledge significantly improved my well being. Alex also took the time to help me understand how these improvements could have a lasting effect with simple effective exercices. I’m grateful he was recommended to me and looking forward to continue to work with him.

I am so blown away by how adept and intuitive Alex is. He knows his stuff on many levels - anatomically, somatically and energetically - and the depth and breadth of his knowledge translates directly into releasing trauma and locked up sections of the body. I came in with some formidable issues and Injuries I frankly had little faith of alleviating. In one session, Alex directly released areas of my body that felt immobilized and in chronic pain. I can move my neck again! I feel free and clear -to even feel again in my neck and lower back and hip is amazing! He is sensitive to your limits as well so don’t be afraid to ask for more or less sensation or pressure.

Extremely knowledgeable. Adjusts to your needs which can be light or very heavy pressure depending on the goal. Wide knowledge to converse about from history or different types of massage to items to help recover quicker.

Best therapy by far. I have chronic neck and shoulder problems and Alex was able to fit me in for a 90 min session that was beyond excellent. He’s got the talent, know-how, and offers a great therapeutic massage in an awesome setting. Highly recommended!

Who else in New York has your back in an emergency? Alex took care of an urgent issue for me (same-day) recently. I remember trying that with a physical therapy chain one time, with no luck. Emergencies aside, Alex is terrific: someone I really trust.

Alex is the most intelligent LMT I have ever come across. He has a comprehensive grasp of biomechanics and an unusually deep understanding of the complex interplay between the mind and body. He applies this knowledge through his broad repertoire of therapeutic modalities for the benefit of his clients. He is extremely generous with his time and really gets invested in getting positive results for his clients.

I have been seeing Alex of and on for a few years now to help me deal with some chronic pain from a traumatic injury (motorcycle accident, surgery, pins in my hip, etc etc).Alex is always very sensitive to my needs and very thorough. The pressure is deep but not *too* deep, hes always sensitive and ready to make any adjustments if necessary. Reasonably priced.

Wellness by Alex is 1-on-1 bespoke tailored wellness. It is a loud, far, cry from a walk-in massage parlor, or medicare bilking chiropractic factory.Alex has been a pleasant surprise, far surpassing my expectations. I had been working with someone of high repute for many years in the West Village, and put off working with Alex at first.WHY I RECOMMEND ALEX :Alex has studied with a diverse group of healers, and has a very broad knowledge base of different healing pathologies to employ.He has intuitive hands, and is an excellent diagnostician.He has a comprehensive understanding of human anatomy, specifically the intricate workings of human fascia.He has soft hands, allowing him to be effective without going too deep, which is an undervalued bodywork technique.He is timely, and professional.He is courteous, and congenial.He is not a charlatan.************I have seen (too) many bodywork professionals in NYC over the last 15 yrs and have a broad base to scrutinize Alexs abilities from.Having contracted Lyme twice (2002, 2009), Ive subsequently developed a panoply of rare autoimmune diseases.My unique scenario makes me a difficult patient to treat. Likewise it has made me extremely discerning with whom I choose to work with.Thus it is prescient that my medical practitioners are not only exceptional in their qualifications but also have their patients best interests at heart. They must be great at medicine, but even better at being human beings.Alex is sincerely committed to providing practical pain relief, improving functionality, and supporting his patients in achieving greater well-being.************For those in doubt. I too lean towards empirical skepticism, and Ive not encountered any new age voodoo with Alex.He does not want to be your guru.Ive never heard Alex make dishonest claims - taking responsibility for miraculous recoveries, or any other offhand, unrealistic comments regarding his abilities or the arts he practices.Lastly, I can testify that his prices are competitive for his abilities and skill set. Ive seen others charging more, and providing less.************“The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head.” - William Osler, aka The Father of Modern Medicine

Alex made time for a last minute session and did wonders! Not only did he use the perfect amount of deep pressure, but he also shared a lot of his knowledge with me on what I can do on my own to help realign my body to alleviate pressure on certain muscles.
