PRESS Modern Massage

Some of our favorite press moments are the ones that challenged assumptions.
⠀
When Women’s Health Women's Health featured PRESS, writer Sara Faye Green tried our Moon Cycle Massage, a treatment Rachel created for clients experiencing menstrual discomfort: «I couldn’t have been more wrong.»
⠀
It’s a reminder that massage has always been about more than relaxation. At PRESS, we’ve long explored how thoughtful bodywork can support people through the real physical demands of everyday life, including the ones that aren’t always talked about enough. ‼️

Kinda chic to take care of yourself before your body has to ask twice. ✨
⠀
Regular massage isn’t just for the days when everything hurts. It’s making recovery part of the routine, giving yourself an hour offline, and investing in feeling good in your body before tension becomes a bigger problem.
⠀
And supporting an independently owned NYC business while you’re at it? Very chic. ❤️

See you at PRESS. 💫

In a city where you schedule everything down to your coffee order, postpartum recovery can’t be left to luck—or vague “rest when you can” advice. That’s why PRESS frames postpartum massage in NYC as postnatal massage with a plan: your massage therapist focuses on what your body is sorting out now, not what worked in a brochure. If you’ve also been using pregnancy massage in NYC, know that unused prenatal credits transfer to postnatal, so continuity stays practical. Start with the real-world mechanics of recovery and why a trained massage therapist in neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Brooklyn—and beyond—makes the difference you can actually feel. At PRESS, you’ll find studios in Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Union Square, Columbus Circle, and Long Island City, Queens: and

Some recommendations never go out of style.

When British Vogue British Vogue featured Freja Beha Erichsen’s favorite wellness spots, she included Massage Williamsburg as one of her go-to places in New York.

«I love to have massages. I think it’s really important to relax.» — Freja Beha Erichsen

It’s a fun reminder of how long PRESS has been part of NYC’s wellness community, and how grateful we are to everyone who’s trusted us over the years. 🙌

In a city where your calves are doing half the driving (stairs, subway gaps, “just one more meeting”), sports massage in Williamsburg, Brooklyn isn’t about feeling dreamy—it’s about managing tissue load and keeping you moving well. A good licensed massage therapist focuses on what you actually feel: stubborn post-training tightness, desk-driven shoulder tension, and the recovery gaps that show up later in the week, not immediately. Research is mixed on how much any single session “speeds recovery,” but the physiology behind range-of-motion gains and symptom relief is hard to ignore when treatment is consistent and targeted. At PRESS, you’ll find support across Williamsburg, Brooklyn; Greenpoint, Brooklyn; Union Square, Manhattan; Columbus Circle, Manhattan; and Long Island City, Queens—massage-focused sessions with clinical precision.

Stress may look different than it did a few years ago, but our bodies still respond the same way.
⠀
When The Wall Street Journal The Wall Street Journal spoke with our founder, Rachel Beider, they explored how New Yorkers were carrying stress and why so many were turning to massage for relief. 😌
⠀
“In our industry, stress is sort of a commodity.” — Rachel Beider
⠀
Years later, we continue to see the same story unfold in our treatment rooms. Long hours at a desk. Marathon training. Parenting. Travel. Burnout.
Stress evolves. Recovery still matters.
⠀
We’re grateful to have been part of this conversation then, and to keep helping New Yorkers recover every day. ✨
