Owner

Kneaded Bodywork's specializes in offering highly-skilled licensed massage therapy. We do not believe massage therapy should be considered a luxury, but should be treated as part of one's general and/or regular health regimen. Our services are moderately priced. Kneaded Bodywork's environment is soothing, welcoming and professional without being clinical. Our philosophy is to tailor each session to meet the individual needs of the client. No two people are the same & no two people's sessions should be the same.Your therapist will work with you, ask questions, & formulate a therapeutic game…

Editor's Tips

Parking:
Nearby Times Square, don't even think about driving. But, if you do, there's metered parking on 43rd.
Massage:
Get a shiatsu, Swedish, acupressure or deep tissue massage.
Know Before You Go:
Walk-ins are welcome, but the masseurs prefer a five-minute heads-up.

Amazing massages

by loreleidemesa at Citysearch

Hi all. I've been going to Kneaded Bodyworks for 7 years now and I've recommended it to all my friends. Great group of people and vibe. The girls and I have had many a spa hooky day here.

Open for business with awesome massage!

by mmariecote at Citysearch

I have been going to Kneaded Bodyworks for about 5 years so when I saw the last 3 reviews about them closing I was surprised. That awesome thai massage I got last week (she was great) is proof enough for me:) I know that they are in a state of transition trying to open a new location and that the owner had some health issues the past year or so and without the owner to run it, not much happens. I believe the owner is back running it now. Anyone who knows this place knows how much its reputation for awesome massage with terrific customer service is what has set it apart from other places. Just read all the reviews from the past 4 years, very consistent. And I know their policy is to never allow a gift certificate to expire (my sister found one recently i gave her in 2007 and it was honored when she went in for her appointment). I am a big fan of kb, to be sure, but i have sent family, colleagues over the years and all had wonderful experiences. I would recommend to anyone with any questions to just give them a call. They text and twitter now! perhaps management can reply to some of the reviews about their being closed. That would help too.

  • Pros: appointment flexibility, same day appts
  • Cons: fewer rooms

Is it open anymore?

by chastev67 at Citysearch

Kneaded Bodyworks seemed to have been very much geared towards terrific massages and excellent customer service. I have not been able to get anyone to return my phone calls since December 2008. Does anyone know if it is open anymore, as it was a nice blend of reasonable prices and great service.

  • Pros: Used to have amazing massages
  • Cons: No response for months

Out of Business?

by astutius at Citysearch

Had been going there for awhile...booked a massage with the owner Doug for a Saturday, showed up and door to building was boarded up more or less. Tried to call them and go not answer. I followed up with an email too during the week to see what was going on. VERY disappointing because I really liked this place - they should at least advise client if they are out of business.
