Overview

Bio-mechanic Mobility and Kinesiology Bodywork for gay men seeking intentional, recovery focused stretch therapy. My practice in Hells Kitchen blends deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and assisted stretch mobility — working to erase patterned fatigue from weight lifting, sport conditioning, and movement arts.
I work primarily on a floor mat, which creates a more grounded, full-body experience and expands the range of therapeutic contact available in a session.
My approach is rooted in a background as a conditioning coach for... circus artists, where I developed an intuitive understanding of the body. My sessions aren’t entirely passive for the recipient and can ask for muscular engagement at times. This allows the work to integrate dynamically, as well as therapeutically. If you are a highly physical person you already know the responsibilities for retaining flexibility. It can be a lot to manage in a solo practice. I can meet you where you’re at and maintain your current health, or assist in reaching target goals.
I recently completed an educator certification, with continued training accepted at the NeuroAffective Touch Institute and PCSS.
I work exclusively with queer & gay male clients. Sessions are collaborative — I welcome open feedback and ongoing dialogue as part of the therapeutic relationship. My goal is a practice built on trust, consistency, and genuine care.

Testimonials

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

June 18, 2026 in New York, NY (in-studio)

No awkwardness, just a confident guy.
The bodywork itself was excellent. This was my first time on a mat. The stretching was incredible and I had no idea what that would be like. My body is always tight from lifting and long days, but his method worked.
What stood out was how relaxed the whole experience felt. Strong hands, patient pressure, and a calm mood. I’m always a little nervous going to someone’s house, but he’s a great host.

My 90-minute massage session with Foster was nothing short of transformative. His touch is intuitive and deeply attuned. There’s a warmth to his presence that fills the room and his energy is genuinely intoxicating. Foster is, without question, a rare find in bodywork.
