Lexson Therapy

I have been getting massages from Alexson for a few years now and they are always the best! As a professional musician and an amateur athlete, keeping my body functioning and pain free is a huge priority. His massages are some of the best I have ever had and would highly recommend to anyone! Recently my brother completed an ironman race and was using crutches because his legs were so sore but after an hour with Alexson he could walk normally again. Seriously relaxing and therapetuic! I would go more often if I had the time.

Alexson provided a tranquil and nurturing environment during our session. Despite the fact that it’s in the back of a mobile vehicle, the space is relaxing and safe. The space will transport you to an «urban zen» unlike any other. Alexson is also very responsive to your needs and really worked through the kinks in my body.

I had an amazing experience! I was so fortunate to get an appointment coming straight off a red-​eye flight. Lexson was professional, intuitive, and just overall the best! I wish I lived here because I would be a regular client for sure.

I went to Lexson Therapy this week for a massage as a birthday gift to myself and what a gift it was. I only booked the massage a day before so I was very appreciative Alexson was able to fit me in.
Alexson is pleasant and extremely skillful and knowledgeable in the art of massage as well as knowing the anatomy. He was able to massage, stretch and work out kinks and knots I didn’t know I had until he found them.
The ambiance of the room immediately soothed me and Alexson’s breathing techniques as well as how he asked me to breathe, further relaxed me as he worked out the kinks previously mentioned.
This was by far the best massage I’ve had and I do plan on making Alexson my regular masseuse.

Lexson brought long forgotten memories of AMAZING massage and chiro I wasgetting at a sports medical center back in old country.
Best I experienced in 20 years.
His technique blends focused super strength where and only where it is needed, constantly adopting touch and force,
gently working up through layers of pain/​discomfort in your muscles, as if peeling an onion.

Having been to dozens of massage therapists, I can say with some confidence that Alex is the best value, bar none. Only a tiny handful are on par with his skill level and professionalism (look for my other 5-​star reviews), and they tend to be much more expensive.
As far as style, he uses a very fluid technique, and is entirely intuitive about what areas need what kind of work. You should still point out likes /​dislikes /​painful spots /​etc of course, but if all you did was lie back and let him work the effect will still be magic.
For a therapist, big strong hands and confidence in your ability to pinpoint the source of trouble spots usually means *less* pressure & discomfort is needed. This might be counterintuitive if you’ve never had a top-​tier massage before (vs a Chinatown parlor where the most reliable way to walk away feeling better is to ask for it harder) but trust me, it’s true. Alex (a former football player) makes this principle especially obvious in practice.

I reached out to Alexson because I was experiencing extreme discomfort in my shoulder, neck and hip. He was able to fit me in that day at the Holistic Health Center in Harlem. The room was very clean and comfortable, and Alexson was extremely professional and welcoming.
Easily one of the best massages I’ve ever had, Alexson took great care to address my issues. I left feeling healed, relaxed and rejuvenated. I look forward to making massages with Alexson a regular thing!

I’ve been getting massages regularly for years, and I am blown away by Alexson’s care, professionalism, and flat out knowledge. A good massage therapist learns quickly the tightness in a person’s body, but Alexson takes this to a whole different level, tapping into ways that our bodies get overused and overtaxed in certain places, throwing the whole system off balance. I came in a tight bundle and left 60 minutes later basically transformed and refreshed.
Skip the places that charge equal amounts, if not more, for lots of fluff and dressing, and go visit this health practitioner. It will be probably the smartest decisions you’ll make that day.

I received an excellent massage yesterday from Alexson. I was feeling a lot of upper back and neck pain due to an injury, but immediately afterward I felt a million times better! I’m writing this the next day, and my muscles are still grateful.
Alexson was able to meet with me on extremely short notice (just a few hours!) at the Harlem Holistic Center, which has some private rooms in the back with massage tables. Though there was a group class taking place outside in the front room during the second half of the massage, the noise was sufficiently offset by the relaxing music he put on in our room. Overall, I felt the atmosphere of the room to be extremely comfortable, and the studio quite conveniently located.
I’ve had a lot of massages, particularly because I used to live in Thailand, and I have to say Alexson was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very skilled. He was able to identify the muscle that was causing me pain and spent a lot of time working on it, applying a perfect amount of pressure. He also used some traction techniques to help with my spine. Rarely have I walked out of a 60-​minute massage feeling so rejuvenated!
I highly recommend this place — I was surprised nobody had reviewed it yet — so go get yourself a massage!
