What is Luxsa style, and how is it different?

Luxsa Style is our signature Thai combination massage, blending acupressure, Thai stretching, and oil-based deep tissue. It's rooted in traditional healing but elevated with clinical care and personalized attention.

Is couples massage private, and can we choose different styles?

Yes. Couples massages are held in a private room, and each guest can choose their preferred style. Though the room is shared, each session remains fully customized.

How clean is Luxsa Thai Spa?

We follow hospital-grade sanitization protocols. All rooms are disinfected after each session and linens changed without exception. Cleanliness is central to our ethos.

Can I walk in, or do I need to book ahead?

Appointments are recommended, but same-day bookings are often available. Online booking via Fresha is the fastest way to reserve your session at our Madison Ave Thai Spa.

What’s your cancellation policy?

We require at least 4 hours’ notice for cancellations. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee, as we reserve the time exclusively for you.

Is Thai massage painful or intense?

Not necessarily. Thai massage can be gentle or firm, depending on your needs. Our therapists always ask about pressure and focus areas before each session.

What Is Sports Massage and Why Is It Important?

Sports massage is a performance‑minded treatment that combines deep tissue, myofascial release, and trigger‑point techniques with rhythmic Swedish foundations. Sessions can be tailored as pre‑event (activation) or post‑event (recovery) to match your training cycle and goals.

Unleash Your Potential with Sports Massage NYC

Our sessions are designed for athletes, runners, and weekend warriors who want to move freely and recover faster. A sports massage in NYC helps improve flexibility, reduce soreness, and support your body’s natural healing, so you can perform at your best without lingering pain.

Deep Tissue Techniques for Serious Relief

When surface work isn’t enough, our therapists apply deep tissue pressure to release adhesions and knots. This approach targets deeper muscle layers to ease low back pain, improve circulation, and restore balance to overworked areas.

Targeting Chronic Pain with Trigger Point Therapy

Specific points in tight muscles often create persistent pain. Trigger point therapy releases those areas, allowing muscles to relax fully. This method helps make workouts and daily movements smoother and more comfortable.

Myofascial Release for Enhanced Movement

By addressing the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, myofascial release improves range of motion and circulation. This technique helps dissolve restrictions that slow you down, creating better mobility and faster recovery after training.

Cupping Hand Technique for Muscle Recovery

Unlike traditional fire cupping, our therapists use the palms in a rhythmic tapping motion—often called “cupping”—to stimulate blood flow, loosen fascia, and relax tense muscles. It’s a dynamic method to refresh fatigued areas without added tools.

Addressing Specific Needs for Optimal Results

Each client arrives with unique goals—from managing old injuries to preventing future strain. Our therapists listen carefully and adapt every session, ensuring you leave feeling stronger, lighter, and ready for your next challenge.

How Sports Massage Therapy Supports Well Being

"Sports massage goes beyond muscle relief. It lowers stress, calms the nervous system, and supports overall mental and physical wellness—so you can focus on training and daily life with less tension holding you back."

The Connection Between Massage and Low Back Pain

"Low back pain affects posture and performance. With deep tissue, trigger point, and myofascial release, we ease tension in the lumbar region and support healthy alignment for more resilient movement."

Why Open Communication Matters

"Your feedback guides the session. By sharing your routine, injuries, or concerns, we can apply the right method in the exact spot you need, ensuring a safe and effective experience."
