Very good technique; friendly and courteous; the room could use a bit of upgrading but you won't be looking around while getting massage anyways so not that much of an issue, if you are not too sensitive about it!

This was the BEST massage I’ve ever had. E is fantastic. He listened to me explain where I was feeling back pain and tailored my massage to work on my problem areas. My back felt so much better afterwards. He’s professional, kind, and one of the best in the industry!

Erkskine has been my number one masseuse for more than ten years , even prior to the pandemic. He knows precisely how to relax, relieve pain, and strengthen your body .

It was great- EM used just the right amount of pressure to get into my knotted up areas. I didn't even have to ask him to adjust his pressure which I have had to do at other places.

If you want someone intuitive and professional work your muscles - go to E. He’s strong and gentle at the same time while squeezing every ounce of tension from your body. I love the old school NY building- so few left. You’ll feel like jello after in the best way.

I've had dozens of massages, none more intense or helpful as this one. E's strong hands went deep into my tight muscles and broke up knots that needed to be broken up. I felt like I was walking on air when I left. One day later, my body feels better than it has in weeks.

I first came to E for massage therapy around 2006 or so. He was recommended by a professional dancer who told me he was "a genius." She wasn't exaggerating. E's gentle manner and humble attitude makes him a wonderful person. But his talent -- I would call it his Gift -- makes him a genius. In fact, he's an artist. He's literally healed me from sports injuries that weren't responding to doctors' treatments. And I've had immediate relief from the built-up stress and strains of work tension. As an athlete, both competitively and recreationally, I've had a lot of body work done over the years. I've never known anyone with the skill, strength and spirit of this man. Thanks again, E!

EM is a very skilled massage therapist, I felt immediate effects during and after the massage. Incredibly intuitive but also after many years of searching for a good massage therapist, he is already triggering and finding my trouble spots without me even having to say anything. I would recommend him to anyone.

I was very pleased with my massage and grateful to have spent my time on that table! It was my first visit and I felt comfortable right away. The atmosphere is calming and the music selection was instrumental jazz which was perfect. There was also good communication about the desired amount of pressure with adjustments as needed. Definitely recommend Erskine!

I came in with serious lower back pain. I experienced immediate results from the deep tissue massage. After the massage, when I bent over to put my socks back on, I realized that I didn't feel any back pain as I normally do. Wow! My back felt like liquid. My only regret is that I should have booked a longer session with Erskine. He has amazing hands.

E has a deep knowledge of how the body works, so when there is a sore lower back or a neck issue it gets taken care of. He is intuitive, gets in deep to unknot those tight areas. He is careful, checks in about pressure, eases off when he needs to, and is extremely thoughtful. Red hands are safe hands. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
