Overview

**Elevate Your Performance with Elite Massage Therapy**

Looking for a massage experience tailored to your active lifestyle? I specialize in massage techniques designed for athletic men who want more than just relaxation—they want results.

As a graduate of the Santa Barbara Body Therapy Institute and a former dancer and athlete, I bring a deep understanding of how your body moves and recovers. Whether you’re into running, weightlifting, or high-intensity training, I know where your body holds tension and... how to ease it effectively.

**Why Choose Me?**

**Expert Targeting**: Every session is customized to meet your specific needs, using techniques that go beyond surface-level relief. I’ll focus on areas that need attention to help you recover faster.

**Performance Enhancement**: Expect improved mobility, reduced soreness, and the ability to push yourself harder.

**Private, Professional Studio**: Located on the Upper East Side, my studio is quiet, immaculate, and offers shower facilities for your convenience.

From tackling stubborn knots to increasing your flexibility, I offer a service that goes beyond the basics. If you’re looking for a professional who understands an athlete’s body and can deliver top-tier results, I’m your guy.

**Ready to Level Up?**
Text is the best way to book. Email works too, but I don’t take calls. Let’s get you back to peak performance.

Testimonials

Gathered by Rusty from admiring massage clients to share with you.

Sept. 28, 2024 in New York, NY (in-studio)

I’ve been seeing Rusty for a few months, and it’s always a fantastic massage. As someone who works out a lot, I need deep work and he delivers every time. Easily the best I’ve found and worth every penny.” – Matthew, 37

Sept. 12, 2024 in New York, NY (in-studio)

"I had an awesome experience with Rusty. As someone who works out a lot, I’m usually dealing with tight muscles and soreness, but after one massage session, I felt way better. He really knows how to work out those knots and get your body back on track. The studio is super chill and comfortable, and honestly, it’s a great deal for the level of care and bodywork you get. I’ll definitely be back! - Stephen, 42
