At West Garden Spa, we have been helping New York City residents unwind with our Swedish massage and other body massage services for over two decades. We place great importance on perfecting our Asian massage techniques and broadening our repertoire. Although people tend to think of Asia as the birthplace of modern massage, when you think of massage, you’re probably thinking of a Swedish massage. The reason for this is that Swedish massage has heavily influenced massage therapy teachings in the United States, with real, therapeutic benefits for you and anyone who receives it. At West Garden Spa, our therapists are experts in the art of Swedish massage, meaning a visit to us will give you access to all the benefits that come along with a massage in an environment that allows you to truly relax.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a unique technique that is usually only enjoyed by experienced spa-goers. It’s an extremely beneficial technique, and while many find it uncomfortable or even painful, true massage pros can amplify the positive effects while keeping you comfortable during the actual massage. Where can you find a team of expert massage therapists to make deep tissue massage as comfortable as possible? Only at West Garden Spa, New York City’s premier destination for high-quality massage !
Thai Massage
From Chinese massage stemmed other Asian techniques, such as Thai massage, believed to be engineered around 2,500 years ago. Shiatsu massage followed, a Japanese form of massage known for healing properties from extremely disciplined techniques using pressure in various pressure points that the ancient Japanese believed were connected to common illnesses and physical issues.
Four Hands Massage
Four Hands Massage: During one of these massages, two therapists will work on you at the same time. Many of our clients have an easier time relaxing with this “duo massage,” and it’s typically very effective at relieving tension.

West Garden Spa in the heart of NYC is here to provide that relaxation for you. Our therapists are well-versed in numerous massage techniques, including deep muscle massage and full body massage.

The table shower can be a sole spa treatment, or it can be added to the end of another treatment such as four hand massage. Often, it is used at the end of a body wrap or scrub to rinse away products in a soothing manner.
Body Scrub
West Garden Spa boasts the most luxurious amenities available today. You can take advantage of our saunas or steam rooms or relax in the lounge with a large flat-screen television. We also offer table showers, in which you can enjoy an Asian massage and body scrub while soaking in a tub of warm or cool water. Our amenities are designed to cater to every preference.
Skin Rolling/Myofascial Release: Skin rolling massage involves light tugging and rolling of the skin to stimulate blood flow while ensuring the recipient doesn’t experience discomfort from the process. This technique, also called myofascial release, helps you experience an overall feeling of wellness, which results from a process called lymphatic drainage.
Acupressure
Shiatsu massage can best be viewed as an alternative healing treatment versus traditional massage techniques that simply focus on muscle relaxation. While deep tissue massage typically entails removing your clothes and utilizing oil on the skin, Shiatsu is performed without oils and the patient doesn’t need to disrobe. Your Shiatsu massage therapist will assess your physical symptoms and then perform treatment based on meridians (or energy lines) in your body. While western style massage (Swedish massage, reflexology, acupressure, etc.) and the Eastern practice of Shiatsu massage can both relieve tension in your muscles, Western massages tend to focus on all general areas of your anatomy while Shiatsu is much more localized. Your Shiatsu massage therapist will encourage you to lay down while she diagnoses your pain. After listening to you, your therapist will apply finger point pressure to specific areas of your body. Whether you suffer from frequent migraines, back pain, insomnia, fatigue, or a range of other physical maladies, you’ll find Shiatsu massage is an effective treatment therapy.
Acupuncture
Back pain is one of the most common medical complaints we get at West Garden Spa, and we’re here to minimize this pain with our deep tissue massage solutions. Studies have shown that a targeted deep massage reduces the need for painkillers by 36% and can even be more effective than acupuncture and chiropractic care.
