When I tore my rotator cuff, my daughter suggested I try Relief CBD cream from Enhancewell. Having torn the rotator cuff completely, I knew the only permanent fix was surgery, but being that it would be several weeks before I could have it repaired, I gave it a try. It definitely helped relieve some of pain so I could get better sleep while waiting for the surgery! - Bob K. Midlothian, Texas

OH MY GOODNESS! There are no words for the experience I had. I’ve been battling with chronic neck pain from a head-on collision since last February. Since my visit, I feel a tremendous sense of relief. I have much more range of motion in my neck after working with Antoni. He also treated me for my chest pain, it’s a problem I’ve ignored for far too long. I am beyond grateful for Antoni; I can properly inhale and take deep breath’s again. So thankful to Antoni as well as Angela for taking such good care of me. They’re rockstars!!

Hands down (pun intended), this was the best massage I’ve ever had. Antoni and Angela were incredibly thorough and so mindful of what my body needed—it never felt rushed or routine. I walked out feeling like a million bucks! Truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommend Enhancewell Spa if you’re looking to feel completely reset and taken care of!

One of the best pilates+wellness studios in the city! Professional and knowledgeable staff with exceptional equipment and a beautiful space. I'd recommend trying any of their services, from a group pilates class to a gua sha session.

I have been working with Antoni for several months and I recommend his massage services without reservation. I do deep tissue work with him and it is intense. Not a spa massage—serious body work—but my body feels so much better! He has a deep understanding of anatomy and is an excellent massage therapist. He's also delightful and will match whatever vibe you're looking for (whether it's calming spa music or singing along to 80's tunes). He tells me that he can also do less intense work, which I'm sure is true for those looking for more of a spa experience. I cannot fail to mention Angela—her gua sha work is fantastic. My face and jawline look so much better after she works on me! On a more serious note, I was having a lot of ear pain from clenching and grinding my jaw and that has virtually disappeared after two sessions of her deep work on my jaw (it's intense, but so worth it). Don't sleep on Enhancewell!! Nice, clean space and the most comfortable massage table I've ever been on!

Antoni is one of my favorite therapists I've ever worked with- I recommend him to everyone I know. He is so skilled at diagnosing what is wrong and then fixing it.

The best in the business! First time I can fully move my shoulder in years. Highly recommended, I feel like a new person. Great guy to chat with as well!

The ByEnhancewell relief balm and roller have been lifesavers after tough workouts! My muscle tension immediately goes away once I apply it. Highly recommend this product.

Sri Narasimhan9 months ago

Antoni has such a deep anatomical knowledge and curiosity. I’ve never had a massage that was so effective and diagnostic. I left looser, lighter and even taller. And had the best sleep I’ve ever had! Thank you!

Ok, I have been massaged around the world and Antoni is an all star! First, he has the greatest vibe, positive, yet calm, assured, yet not too much, he’s just perfect! The space itself is flawless, their gorgeous orchids and a fantastic subtle scent fills the beautiful room. Then there’s his table- I’ve never experienced one of these- it is the Ferrari of massage tables and can create room for my mastectomy reconstruction like it was customized for me (which isn’t easy). So, now for the massage itself- HOLY COW, he’s is just outrageously talented at finding those spots/areas and he has the thumbs of Zeus! He can go deep, but in the smartest most intuitive way. Antoni knows the anatomy/physiology truly like a master. I feel like I’ve had an avatar replace my sore, tight, throbbing neck, back and limbs with a lithe, nimble, new and relaxed body! Go to this genius and just put yourself into his brilliant hands!

I can’t say enough good things about Antoni at his shop, Enhancewell! He really knows his stuff when it comes to muscles and anatomy, and every session feels super personalized to what my body actually needs. He’s incredibly attentive, always checks in about how I’m feeling, and makes sure the work is targeted and effective. The space is beautiful and so relaxing—such a calming vibe from the moment you walk in. On top of that, he’s always on time, really friendly, and just genuinely great to be around. I always leave feeling better, both physically and mentally. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who’s not only skilled but also kind and professional.

The Best Hands Down! No really he has the best hands! I have a degenerative knee that gets very stiff on me, but after I see Antoni it’s as if nothing ever happened. So grateful to have him in my corner. I’m a physical therapist and I refer him to all my patients.

Truly hit the jackpot with this place. Prime location, great building/space. Antoni (and team) are all incredible, kind, and brilliant at what they do! I’m a fellow massage therapist and when I come to NY I would never miss a chance to get on Antoni’s table. I also opted for the face gua sha. I have never felt better and my face tension and headaches have dissipated immensely. Make sure to buy their cbd products (especially the balm!) It is my favorite to use on myself and clients! Thank you for an incredible experience 11/10! -Daniel

As a massage therapist myself, I know the hands of a good therapist. Antoni and his team are amazing, intuitive, well trained, and incredibly knowledgeable and professional. This is where I send my wife for a massage. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and go!

Rick Richeya year ago

Antoni and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. If you are an athlete or just someone who remains physically fit, I am certain you would benefit meaningfully from a deep tissue session w Antoni and Angela. Incredibly relaxing and powerfully reinvigorating!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an absolutely incredible experience at Enhancewell. From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home. Antoni was exceptionally knowledgeable, taking the time to understand my needs and crafting a personalized treatment plan that worked wonders. His hands-on approach, combined with clear explanations and encouragement, helped me recover faster than I expected. The facility is clean, modern, and equipped with everything needed for effective therapy. I can’t recommend Antoni enough—truly top-notch care that deserves five stars!

Carmine Sopranoa year ago

As a perfectionist who used to call NYC home, my 7-year search for a truly professional, worthwhile masseuse ended with Antoni. He was pivotal in my recovery, not just restoring my movement but fundamentally changing how I breathe. The most professional, life-altering massage(s) I've ever experienced—he's not afraid to deliver the 'good hurt' that gets real results. My only wish now is that I had met him years before as I no longer live in NYC. Antoni is a true game-changer. And let me be clear: this is truly not paid or sponsored. I'm usually the type to find fault or stay away if things aren't perfect, but credit where credit is due – Antoni is exceptional.

Bert Kameneca year ago

The level of understanding of the human body and its very many needs is truly incredible. I have been going there for years to get my body right. As a fitness and health coach of over 15 years, I cannot recommend Enhancewell enough. More than half of my clients go there regularly and I have seen, firsthand, the difference in their movement and capacity.

Benjamin Horena year ago

I can't say enough good things about Antoni! He is absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable about the body. He truly cares about each and everyone of his clients.

Dana Chaua year ago

Peaceful clean place. Antoni is super skilled, has total understanding of anatomy and biomechanics. Fixes the root causes for aches and pains. Well worth visiting on a regular basis!

Ian Tanga year ago

This is, hands down, the best massage I’ve ever had in NYC. Antoni is knowledgeable about the body and intuitive about what it needs. He is like an expert physical therapist with a wizard’s sense of how to heal. I cannot recommend him enough.

Celia Keenan-Bolgera year ago

Antoni is simply the best. From experience, it can be difficult to find someone who is both knowledgeable about anatomy and kinesiology and has insane skills when it comes to active release therapy. Antoni is incredible at both of these. In addition he's extremely professional and a wonderful person. I highly recommend.

I have chronic body pain due to the nature of my job (long hours on my feet/at computer) plus I work out a lot. I first came to Antoni when I experienced very bad back pain. He knew exactly which muscle group needed help by just looking at my body posture and feeling different muscle groups. He has such a magic touch when it comes to relieving muscle tension in my body. I always feel much lighter and “stretched out” after a session with him. Highly recommend his service.

What we treat

Every session starts with a short intake: what hurts, what you did to it, what you need to be able to do tomorrow. The work is then built around that rather than around a menu item. Select a massage type below — general sessions let you choose between Antoni and Angela, and a few specialty sessions are automatically booked with the practitioner who does that work.

What to expect

The table is heated, the linens are fresh for every client, and the room is private with a door that closes — you are not behind a curtain. You undress to your comfort level and are draped throughout. Pressure is calibrated continuously; the useful instruction is not "harder" or "softer" but telling the therapist when a spot changes from productive discomfort to bracing.

Arrive five minutes early if it is your first visit. The studio is on the fifth floor at 41 Union Square West, Suite 501, and there is a waiting area if you land early.

The CBD and Emu oil difference

We work with a proprietary CBD and Emu oil formula developed in-house. Emu oil carries well through the skin and makes the CBD easier to work in, and the glide is closer to a balm than a standard massage lotion, which suits sustained deep tissue work. There is a full explanation on the CBD & Emu oil massage page.
