With massage therapy locations in Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Union Square, and Columbus Circle, you may wonder what a day in the life of one of our studios looks like. Here’s what we get up to at PRESS Modern Massage on a given day:

1. Start the day by prepping the massage studio for the day. This includes setting up massage tables, tidying up the room, filling out any paperwork, and ensuring that the necessary supplies are stocked and ready. You might notice a good scent floating around - we usually love to use Palo Santo or aromatherapy spray!

2. Greet the first client of the day with a warm welcome. Ask them to finish filling out any necessary paperwork and explain the massage process. We make sure our clients are warm and cozy!

3. Begin the massage session by discussing the client’s needs and developing a customized treatment plan. Each massage is tailored specifically to what our client is going through that day.

4. Now, on to the best part: perform the massage session, making sure to keep the client comfortable and relaxed. Our clients usually walk in, and float out! Clients typically choose to focus on their back, neck and shoulders, or have a deep tissue session, a deeply relaxing swedish session, or a prenatal massage if they are pregnant.

5. After the massage, we thank the client for their business and provide any aftercare instructions. We often give stretches and strengthening exercises, or we may suggest seeing a chiropractor, acupuncturist, or other service providers as needed. We have a network of phenomenal care providers in Brooklyn and Manhattan to take good care of our clients.

6. Clean, disinfect, and clean some more! We pride ourselves on safety, organization, and cleanliness.

7. Take a real break in between sessions to relax and prepare for the next client. We leave 30 minutes between sessions so our licensed massage therapists have a ton of time to change the table over, chat with their clients, wash their hands, clean the room, and set the table up for their next session. We want to make sure every licensed massage therapist starts their session refreshed, strong, and ready to give the best massage!

8. At the end of the day, tidy up the massage studio, collect all laundry, and restock any supplies that were used. Don’t forget to water the plants! (We love our plant babies). We file any paperwork, reply to any messages or emails, and make sure to confirm all sessions for the next day, so we can open up strong.

9. Close up the massage studio for the night and enjoy some well-deserved rest!
