Massage Therapist Manhattan | Elite Healers Sports Massage
Performance Recovery at 56th & Park — Open 7 Days — Sessions from $169
Elite Healers Sports Massage is located at 120 East 56th Street, Suite 420, one block from Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.

We're a six-minute walk from the 4, 5, 6 trains at 59th Street and a ten-minute walk from Grand Central Terminal.
This is not a spa. Every session starts with a structured assessment.

We offer sports massage, medical massage, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and Swedish massage. Cupping therapy is incorporated when clinically appropriate.
Sessions from $169. FSA and HSA accepted for medical massage with a qualifying doctor's referral. Open 7 days, with evening appointments available weekdays until 7:45pm.

Deep Tissue Massage Therapy in Manhattan
Deep Tissue Massage Manhattan — Relieve Tension and Chronic Pain
Address chronic pain, muscle tension, and postural issues. Our deep tissue massage therapy in Manhattan targets the deeper layers of muscle and fascia to release tension and break up scar tissue. This therapy is ideal for individuals suffering from chronic pain, poor posture, and restricted movement.
- Posture Correction: Relieve neck, shoulder, and back tension caused by desk work.
- Muscle Recovery: Support faster healing after injuries or intense physical activity.
- Fascia Release: Targets the connective tissue restrictions that develop from repetitive movement patterns and extended desk work.
If you're working long hours at a desk in a Midtown office tower, your neck, shoulders, and lower back are taking the load. Our deep tissue massage in Manhattan is built for the executive who needs the kind of work that resets the body, not a relaxation session that wears off by Tuesday.

Medical Massage Therapy Manhattan: Chronic Pain Management and Recovery
Chronic Pain Management and Recovery
Medical massage therapy at Elite Healers addresses the structural source of your pain rather than the location where you feel it. Our licensed therapists in Manhattan are trained in condition-specific protocols for back pain, shoulder dysfunction, TMJ disorder, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, frozen shoulder, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
- Chronic Pain Management: Alleviate back pain, sciatica, and tension headaches.
- Post-Surgical Recovery: Reduce scar tissue, increase circulation, and improve range of motion.
- Stress-Related Aches: Ease muscle tension caused by sedentary lifestyles or repetitive motion.
Cupping therapy is used within medical massage sessions to improve circulation, reduce fascial restriction, and accelerate tissue recovery when appropriate for the client's condition.
Most clients use FSA or HSA cards for medical massage when they have a doctor's referral on file. We make the receipt and documentation process straightforward — bring your prescription on your first visit and we'll handle the rest. Your card must carry the Visa or Mastercard logo.
Myofascial Release in Manhattan
Connective Tissue Work for Chronic Restriction and Performance
Myofascial release targets the connective tissue network surrounding your muscles rather than the muscle fibers themselves. This makes it particularly effective for clients dealing with chronic tightness that does not resolve with standard deep tissue work, postural restrictions that return between sessions, and movement limitations that stem from fascial adhesions rather than muscle tension alone.
Myofascial release is the service most often requested by Manhattan runners, cyclists, and CrossFit athletes who have hit a wall with standard deep tissue work and need something that goes after the connective tissue restriction itself.
Our therapists apply myofascial release as a standalone service and as an integrated component of sports and medical massage treatments when the clinical presentation calls for it.

What Our Clients Say
"I am a lifelong runner training for a marathon and had horrible IT band syndrome. I tried 3 different physical therapists and 2 massage therapists before I found Adam. He is by far the most knowledgeable on all things muscle related and knew exactly how to treat what I had been dealing with. Any athlete that has pain a PT can't solve needs to come here." — Ashley W., verified Google review
"Great experience with Fiona. If you're looking for real technique rather than decorative spa treatments, this is the place. Fiona is strong, precise and incredibly good at relieving tension. I'll definitely be back." — Yulia G., verified Google review
"As always, the medical massage focus specifically targets the areas of my back and neck that are tense and sore. I left again feeling renewed, relieved and beyond relaxed." — Brad B., verified Google review
