I cannot say enough in my praise for Brian's skill at discovering and treating my ailments. It's not often I find my body continue to find its connections two days after the treatment. I'm walking lighter, moving better, and cannot wait to return. I don't need to look any further. I found Massage Warrior. It's my go to place and I'm sure it'll be yours.

Brian is an exceptional masseuse and person. Ive been going to him for years and have referred all my friends and family to him. The relief lasts a long time and actually gets to the deep tissues - extremely knowledgable and experienced. Best kept not so secret anymore.

Brian gives an outstanding massage. No one before has been able to unlock my left shoulder and by the end of the massage I felt like I could fly. Could not recommend him enough.

Brian(Massage Warrior) has been my massage therapist for many years. As a senior person who refuses to act my age, I have suffered many pulled muscles and sore limbs. Brian has helped work out the pain. His massages have worked wonders after many hours of stressful news sessions. After an hour with Brian's strong talented hands I leave feeling like a new younger man. I can highly recommend his professional skills.


Jan 16, 2025

In the years that I have been seeing Brian, he has used his skills meticulously to lessen my discomfort and has gone above and beyond to make his practice a relaxing and enjoyable space. If you're in pain or just want to be kind to yourself I can't recommend Brian enough.

Relaxing Massage, Wonderful Experience Every time I visit NY, I see Brian. This place is not only pretty and fancy… he makes me feel at home. Gracious, accommodating, hardworking, down to earth… it is the best place to relax, unwind and choose a massage of your liking. The environment is super clean, the music, the atmosphere and the smell are refreshing! Don’t miss this hidden Massage Warrior Gem on a trip downtown. Keep coming back and thank yourself later.

Brian is a great professional and a good person. After the massage my back feels very good. My head also works better and I feel lighter. Thank you Brian. I found my massage therapist and a new friend ✌🏼

Been going to Brian for over a decade. He’s the best, always on time. And knows what he’s doing. 💆🏽‍♂️


Nov 06, 2024

I have been getting massages here for years. I started going for a lower back issue that he helped resolve. I now go weekly, and it helps keep me recover so that I can continue to do intense workouts. 5 stars. Highly recommend. He is the best.

I have been going to Massage Warrior for over a year and have had the absolute pleasure of working with Brian every time. From start to finish, the experience is consistently exceptional. Brian’s technique is masterful; he’s attentive, professional, and incredibly skilled. Each session leaves me feeling completely renewed and tension-free, which speaks volumes to his expertise and dedication. The ambiance at Massage Warrior is soothing and welcoming, creating a truly relaxing environment. I can’t recommend Brian highly enough—if you’re looking for a transformative massage, he’s the one to see.

I have been going to the Massage Warrior for over ten years! There is NO OTHER massuese like Brian! He is literally the best in NYC! I’ve had my massages around nyc and around the world on vacations but there is NOONE like the Massage Warrior! I always feel brand new when I leave that office! Cheers to 20+ more years with Brian 🙏🏻


Nov 06, 2024

I’ve been going to Brian for years when I had injuries and he has been a huge part of my body health and recovery. He is all about results and is a professional and thoughtful masseuse.


Nov 06, 2024

Literally the best massage therapist I’ve EVER experienced. I discovered Brian in 2016, and have been coming to him ever since! 10 out of 10, would recommend. He saved my body from so much pain.


Nov 06, 2024

My family has been going to Brian for years. I cannot recommend him strongly enough. He is professional, knowledgeable, effective and strong. He will work out your aches, pains and knots with the necessary attention and pressure. Get yourself into see Brian. Your body will thank you.


Nov 06, 2024

Brian gives the best deep tissue massage! I've been seeing Brian for over a decade, even when I was pregnant (he provided a gentler massage and focused on my bloated legs). He has an amazing touch and can tell which body parts need extra attention. I always look forward to my visits with Brian.


Oct 06, 2024

Brian is so skilled at what he does! Glad i found him


Oct 06, 2024

Brian is the best! He offers great sports massages in a comfortable setting. He will “go to town” on your toughest knots. You will walk out of his office feeling much better than when you walked in!


Oct 06, 2024

Brian was extremely thorough, encouraging, and is truly amazing at what he does. Came in with a hip injury and lots of pain and has helped me tremendously


Oct 06, 2024

If I could give 10 stars I would. I started seeing Brian over a year ago for stress and workout related tension, and it was life changing. I walked away from the first visit feeling like I was finally able to take a deep breath and relax my upper back/shoulders for the first time in forever. Then, after surgery for my torn ACL last winter, his massages absolutely instrumental in my recovery as I was rebuilding the muscles in my right leg. And perhaps the best part is how much I look forward to our conversations each visit. He truly listens to your needs, has the best travel recommendations & banter, and always comes with AMAZING energy while working out all your knots. I can’t recommend anyone more than Brian for a deep tissue massage (so much so that if I ever leave the city I will fly back to see him forever lol!!)


Oct 06, 2024

Brian is INCREDIBLE. My physical therapist after my first of two knee surgeries sent me to him five years ago and I have been seeing him since. I have yet to show up with an injury or a pain that he can't work out or heal. He is also just the kindest, most empathetic person who truly cares about all of his clients. I cannot recommend him strongly enough!


Oct 06, 2024

Fantastic massage therapy. I can't recommend Brian / Massage Warrior enough! Whether you're dealing with stress, tension, or just need some self-care, Brian is the best in the business. Highly professional, compassionate, and skilled—this is hands down the best massage therapy I've ever received!


Oct 06, 2024

I've been going to Brian for years. He's an extremely nice guy and I always come out feeling better. I lived outside of NY for a few years before coming back, and appointments with Brian were one of the biggest things I missed!


Oct 06, 2024

The first massage I had helped me to successfully complete a very challenging 16 mile run in preparation for nycm. Thank you so much !


Feb 06, 2024

Five Star service! Five star quality massage! Brian shows care that patients get better.


Feb 06, 2024

I’ve gone to so many sports massage therapists, and Brian is by far the best. I could not recommend him enough!!


Feb 06, 2023

Brian is a miracle worker, hands down the best massage I've ever had not...to mention the nicest person ever! RUN to see him


Feb 06, 2023

Brian is amazing. Very intuitive and great technique. Knew exactly where and how much pressure to apply.


Feb 06, 2023

Extremely intelligent and gifted, Brian is exactly what you are looking for in a massage therapist, but you just don’t know one can exist to this level. A TRUE THERAPIST, he knows 100% what he’s doing, and if you have a body issue that needs resolution, book him now.


Feb 06, 2022

A true healer. Lots of energy. Highly recommend.


Feb 06, 2017

Can't say enough how wonderful Brian is!! He knew where I was in need of help and today I feel like a new person!!! Thank you , Brian!!!! Best therapist I've ever had!!


Feb 06, 2017

Great place to get your body back on track. Brian is a professional with a sense for individual's problems. He helped me with my back pain. I am going back to him


Feb 06, 2016

Brian does great massages. I've been here twice and had good experiences. I had some tightness and pain in my shoulders which Brian was able to help relieve.
