The PRESS Way

Thoughtful bodywork, built on skill.

PRESS Modern Massage has been independently owned and operated since 2008. Our goal is to be the best part of your day, every day.

Therapist quality

Every PRESS therapist completes 1,000+ hours of advanced training before their first session with you. We don’t hire generalists. We train specialists — and then keep training them.

Clinical intent

We assess before we treat. Your therapist will ask about your history, your patterns, where you’re holding tension and why. The session is built around your body, not a menu item.

Consistency over intensity. One deep tissue session won’t fix three months of accumulated tension. A regular practice will. We’ll tell you honestly how often you should be coming, and why.

Our origins

Established in 2008 by Rachel Beider, PRESS Modern Massage originally made an impression on New Yorkers as “Massage Williamsburg,” “Massage Greenpoint,” and “Massage Outpost” in DUMBO.

PRESS grew out of the desire to unify award-winning massage studios under one family name. We now offer massages in Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Union Square, Columbus Circle, and Long Island City.

Why we do this

Rachel grew up with scoliosis and knows firsthand what it’s like to struggle with pain and search for relief. After becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist, Rachel worked for a surgeon who performed mastectomies for women with breast cancer, assisting recovery with massage.

She later worked for a physical therapy studio on injuries and preventative medicine. This fueled her desire to create a space for helping and healing through science-backed, clinical orthopedic massage.

PRESS Modern Massage continues to serve an ever-growing list of communities in New York.
