Keisy may be the most reliable, best value massage place in the city. I used to go regularly when I lived in the East Village a decade (or more…ugh) ago and now it’s less common but I make a point when I’m in the area.
The atmosphere is calming, and James is one of the best massage therapists around. This is a deep but actually restorative experience, not the “pain for pain’s sake” one you get at a lot of Chinese massage places. And the value can’t be beat.
About Keisy
Keisy specializes in deep tissue massage, focusing on relieving deep muscle tension and knots. Clients should be aware that this is not a comfortable and relaxing spa massage. The massages are intense and may be uncomfortable or painful for some, but many report significant relief afterwards. It is highly recommended for anyone seeking a restorative massage to work out tightness in their back.
Keisy is known for its affordability, with 60-minute massages costing $50 in cash, plus a cash tip. The business maintains a clean and professional environment. While the masseuses may primarily speak Chinese, the front desk staff is more proficient in English and can assist with specific instructions or areas to focus on. Many clients find Keisy to be a reliable option for deep, sports massages at great prices.
Reviews
Such an amazing experience! I had the Shiatsu and foot massage. The woman who did my massage knew exactly which areas needed extra attention. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be back!
I’ve had consistent pain in my right shoulder and was really hoping this would help. When I sat up and I immediately felt a huge difference. She knew what she was doing!! It isn’t fancy by any means, but it’s clean and everyone was very kind. I can’t wait to go back! literally $55 for an hour!
