about brian

---

Hey there! I’m Brian, and if you’re looking for a dedicated, passionate, and results-driven massage therapist who actually listens to your body’s needs—you just found him. I’ve been practicing massage therapy for over 18 years, and every single session I give is designed to help you move better, feel better, and live better.

I graduated from the prestigious Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences in 2006 (aka the Hogwarts of massage therapy 🧙‍♂️), and ever since, I’ve been helping people recover, perform, and feel amazing. But here’s the thing—massage isn’t just a job for me, it’s a calling. I live and breathe this stuff. 🏋️‍♂️🔬

I don’t do fluff-and-buff spa massages—I go deep, I go precise, and I work with intention. Every client that walks through my door gets a customized, results-focused session tailored to their body’s needs. Whether you’re an elite athlete trying to improve performance, a finance pro who spends too much time hunched over a desk, or someone who just wants to feel like a human again, I’ve got you covered.

🛠 Here’s what I bring to the table (or, should I say, massage table 😉):

✅ Deep Tissue Massage – I dig into those stubborn knots and chronic tension areas to release tight muscles, improve circulation, and reduce pain.
✅ Sports Massage – Whether you’re a marathoner 🏃‍♂️, triathlete 🚴‍♀️, or weekend warrior, my sports massage techniques will help you recover faster and perform better.
✅ PNF Stretching & Active/Passive Stretching – You’ll move better, feel looser, and improve flexibility in ways you didn’t think possible.
✅ Cupping Therapy – Great for breaking up tight fascia, promoting blood flow, and speeding up recovery. Plus, those signature cupping marks make you look like you’ve been in a fight with an octopus 🐙 (and won).
✅ Muscle Scraping (IASTM Therapy) – I use scraping techniques to break down scar tissue, reduce adhesions, and improve mobility.
✅ Trigger Point Therapy – Pinpointing pain-causing knots and eliminating tension like a muscle detective. 🕵️‍♂️

Even though I offer a wide variety of techniques, I don’t believe in add-ons or extra charges for different modalities. You’ll never pay extra for cupping, stretching, or scraping—because I believe in using whatever technique is necessary to help you feel your best. Every session is tailored to your needs, and I will use the best tools in my professional knowledge to get you the results you deserve. No gimmicks, no upcharges—just real, effective bodywork.

See you soon—your muscles will thank you! 💆‍♂️🔥💪

Before we meet and get started on helping you feel your best, I’d like to answer some of the most common questions potential clients ask. Let’s get you fully prepared for an amazing session!

Great question! I’ve always been fascinated by how the human body works and, more importantly, how we can make it function pain-free and at its absolute best. I wanted to help people move better, feel better, and perform better, and massage therapy turned out to be the perfect way to do just that. 💪💆‍♂️

Glad you asked! ✅ I’m a fully licensed New York State massage therapist in excellent standing with the NYS Massage Therapy Board. I’m also a proud member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and fully insured. But beyond that, I’m dedicated to lifelong learning, constantly expanding my knowledge of the human body and different massage techniques. If it helps my clients, I’m all in! 🏆📚

You’ll find Massage Warrior in the heart of FiDi:
📍 160 Broadway, Suite 900, New York, NY 10038

It’s a professional, modern NYC building with a concierge desk and plenty of elevators (because climbing nine flights of stairs before a massage would be counterproductive! 😆). Once you enter, take the elevator directly in front of the concierge to the 9th floor—and boom, you’re here! 🚀

👉 Book Your Session Now – I’ll Be Waiting!

✅ Come prepared to feel better! The only thing I ask is that you don’t eat at least 30 minutes before your massage—trust me, we don’t want any unexpected surprises. 🙃 Aside from that, wear comfortable clothing, hydrate, and just be ready to relax and recover!

• 30 minutes – If you’re short on time but have some specific pain or tightness, this is better than nothing! 🕒
• 60 minutes – The perfect balance for maintenance work, stress relief, and some focused muscle attention.
• 90 minutes – If you really need some deep work, muscle recovery, and thorough bodywork, this is the way to go! 🔥

👉 Book Your Perfect Session Length Here!

I’m available Tuesday to Saturday from 8 AM to 8 PM—but if you really need a session outside those hours, just text me and we’ll figure something out! 📆📲

Yes! 🗣️ I like to communicate during the session so you understand what’s happening with your muscles and what we can do to improve them. Think of it as a mix of therapy and a friendly chat! That said, if you just want to zone out and relax, I totally respect that too! 🤫💆‍♂️

Honestly? Regularly. But we’ll discuss a plan that works best for your body when you come in. Some people need weekly work, others every couple of weeks, and some just a tune-up once a month. It depends on your goals and your body’s needs!

Not really! But... sometimes, to get real results, we might need to work through some deeper areas—and you’ll definitely feel that. That being said, I always communicate with you and adjust the pressure so that it’s effective but not unbearable. No pain, no gain—within reason! 😉
