Full body Restoration

The East Village hums with energy just blocks from Cooper Union, where brick townhouses meet bistros and boutiques. Full body Restoration offers an unhurried counterpoint, a massage spa tucked along a quieter stretch of Great Jones Street. Below the streetlamps and scaffolding of a changing block, they provide treatment rooms designed for decompression: deep-tissue, trigger-point, prenatal sessions, and hot-stone add-ons. Thai stretches and cupping therapy round out the menu, with stretches tailored to athletes or sedentary commuters alike. Find them at 29 Great Jones St New York, NY 10012, a single brownstone door east of Lafayette. To schedule, call (219) 488-2647 or trace your route through the map: directions. The block still keeps its pre-gentrification grit—narrow sidewalks, graffiti-shadows, the scent of roasting coffee drifting from a nearby garage.
