Exterminating tension since the mid-90s
The next big breakthrough in tech will let me reach through the screen and rub your shoulders.
In the meantime, here’s my website.
Across from the Empire State Bldg on 34 street — Tue/Wed
New home-visit clients begin with a free 10-minute consultation
I'm Tania. I deliver pain-free orthopedic and medical massage with a therapeutic approach tailored to you.
Book with me when you're tight, achy, or dealing with persistent pain that has you feeling not quite like yourself.
If you prefer deep pressure and mobilization for sports massage and recovery, I do that too.
My work is grounded in advanced medical training and thorough assessment. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place.
Book an office session with me on Tuesdays or Wednesdays at Body Mechanics Orthopedic Massage, on 34th St. near 5th Ave., across from the Empire State Building.
Home visits are available within Manhattan below 125th St. and North + Central Brooklyn. A massage table is required. If you don't have one yet, I'm happy to help you choose one.
You tell me about what's going on and I listen.
We’ll start with your goals for the session. I assess carefully, go over the approach that best fits your needs, and adjust pressure and technique in real time to support those goals with care and efficiency.
If you’ve felt rushed or underwhelmed by massage before, you’ll notice the difference here. This is focused work, done with precision and respect for your time.
You’ll leave feeling more like yourself, with a clear understanding of what to do between sessions to support longer-lasting change. 💪🏽

If you're new to home visits, we'll start with a complimentary 10-minute consultation to discuss your goals, answer your questions, and make sure everything is set up for a home visit. Returning clients may book directly.
Regarding insurance reimbursement, I have an NPI number and can provide a superbill for out-of-pocket services. I do not bill insurance directly. We can discuss your reimbursement options during your free 15-min consultation.

Here's a video showing some of what I do.
Yes. Home visits are available within Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. A massage table is needed on-site. If you don’t have one yet, I’m happy to help you choose one that fits your budget and is worth having for regular home visits.
Only first-time home visit clients require a complimentary 10 min consultation to discuss your goals, answer any questions, and review the details of the home visit before scheduling. Office visits do not require a prior consultation and may be booked directly here anytime.
Cash is always appreciated. I also accept major credit cards and secure online payments through Square and Stripe. HSA/FSA payments are accepted at the 34th Street office. Please contact the office if you have questions about eligibility or required documentation.
My sessions range from 60–120 min, with 90 min being the most popular, especially for those seeking treatment for pain or complex concerns. Before we start, we spend 5–10 min going over the best approach based on what's most important to you. Those few minutes are separate from the session itself, so you still receive all of the hands-on time you booked.
Whatever is comfortable. Sessions can be performed with or without clothing. If you prefer to be unclothed, you'll be covered with a sheet and only the area being treated will be uncovered when necessary. If you'd rather be clothed, please have loose, comfortable clothing available. Treatment can be performed without oil or lotion if you prefer.
You're invited to book your session today to see for yourself what just one massage can do.
*Text/SMS works best*

I may literally have my hands full while I'm in sessions and be unable to check messages right away, but I'll be in touch within 2 business days. I look forward to hearing from you. ☀️
