The co-owners of Brightful Day Spa combined have over thirty years experience in the field of wellness, therapeutic massage and bodywork. Like most of our fellow New Yorkers, we are very much aware of the recent focus on healthy living. The evidence of this health conscious lifestyle is all around us.
There are more yoga studios, juice bars, and health clubs than ever before. Massage is an essential part of this healthy lifestyle. There was a time when getting a massage may have been considered a luxury. But with all of the studies documenting the considerable benefits of regular bodywork more and more people are now choosing to make regular massage part of their health regimen.

Services
The following list gives a brief outline of the different styles of bodywork we offer. Please remember that there can be considerable overlap between these modalities. There is also a variation between the levels of pressure with which each of us are comfortable.
Therefore, we encourage you to let us know where you are experiencing tension and soreness, and to inform us at any time during the session if you want us to adjust the pressure regardless of the session you choose.This is by far our most requested session. You will experience a blend of different styles including Swedish massage, deep tissue, Tui-Na, stretching and compression.

There are many health benefits to massage. Massage will reduce or even eliminate the aches and pains from sore, tense muscles. Regular massage can also reduce stress, lower blood pressure, boost immunity, and increase both circulation and flexibility. Most importantly, massage will increase your body awareness thus enabling you to be more present and comfortable in your body.

I enjoyed a “staycation” during the “blizzard of 2020” and really wanted to relax. I found Brightful Day Spa after doing a Google search of massage spots near my hotel and comparing prices. I decided upon this place because it was the most affordable location of those nearby. I admit I was a bit skeptical because of the price but in browsing the website and speaking to a couple of people at the Day Spa, I decided to try it. I used to get massages regularly when I could afford the luxury (before becoming a mother, lol) and so I feel comfortable that I have enough experiences to compare this

This place is a hoax
It's all about the tip
If you tip them a lot of money
They let you come back
If not
You get a phone call that the Massuesse hand is injured
As i watched her go in the next room to give a massage to the next person
This place is a pure hoax
Not honest
Massages stink
Don't waste your money

Steve is amazing. My friends and I called for a last minute massage Sunday morning and we're able to get 3 of us for an hour massage. I chose Steve and he was phenomenal. I have had many massages and Steve is top 3. His technique is impeccable. But first, let me start with how clean the room is and the bed is SO cmfortable. Not sure if it was my aching body but the massage bed was like laying on a cloud.
Then when Steve started, he asked a few questions and checked on my pressure preference. He was very easy going and within the first 5 minutes I knew I was in good hands. I wish my massage

I had a terrible headache. I fed it Tylenol. I fed it Motrin. I fed it Aleve. Excedrin. Gallons of water. Sleep. Caffeine. Exercise. I gave that ungrateful sucker everything without relief so I finally succumbed to a massage.
I showed up to Brightful Day Spa tired and desperate. And relieved to find a 15% off checkin offer on Yelp :] Steven greeted my warmly and briefly inquired on my pains and trigger spots. I went for a $60 for 60 min full body with focus on head and neck. I could literally feel my brain lighting up the tender spots and I left feeling a melted, cozy mess but feeling so much

My husband & I visited NYC last week to do some sightseeing & he had work at the end of our visit. I had cervical spine surgery a few years ago & am still treated weekly for myofascial pain & spasm. After days of a lot of standing & walking I was in excruciating pain in my neck, shoulders & back. I called to get a massage appointment for our last day in NYC while my husband attended a work meeting & was scheduled with Tina. My muscles are extremely tight & she worked so hard on me! I was on the fence to ask her to let up but new it was likely going to benefit me

We enjoyed a wonderful massage by Tina and May while visiting NYC. Steve was a gracious host. The facility is in a central location, clean, comfortable and relaxing. The massages were out of this world - my husband and I agree it was the highlight of our trip. We seriously considered going back the next day but couldn't fit it into our schedule. Highly recommend Brightful Spa for an excellent massage. We will be back next trip!

I've walked by BDS so many times but yesterday I finally made the call and got an appointment for a one hour massage with Steve. He is a very skilled body worker and did exactly as I asked (light to medium pressure/relaxing massage). Great value here. Nice and clean space. I will definitely go back and probably sooner than later!

The person massaging my back had good intentions but it may be one of the worst massages I've received. She focused on one area and repeatedly beat down on the same muscles. Thanks to her i can barely move my upper back and shoulders. This is a harsh review but that's how much my back hurts. If you're looking for a real massage (i.e., someone who is licensed and knows where to apply pressure) I would not recommend this place.

I have been trying to get in contact with this spa and it must be the wrong number or the lady is terribly rude. She just answered and when I asked about services she said I don't know and hung up.
Either way she could have told me wrong number or something. If anyone knows how I can get in contact with this spa or if it's closed please let me know!

They were very flexiable in taking our last minute appointment (couples separated by a curtain) and accommodating even though we arrived late after I had informed them in advance. It's a very minimal and clean ambiance with relaxing music playing softly in the background which helped to create a calm feel. Unfortunately the massage was a little too rough even though advised to lighten the pressure, the flow was lacking the grace but I still fairly enjoyed the benefits after. My husband on the other hand wasn't as comfortable and didn't get to relax fully. He came out with a sore arm that lasted

2.5 stars here as my review is really based on lack of consistency.
I was very disappointed in my third time coming back here as the first two were rather good (the reason I returned)! Unfortunately, I had such a poor experience the 3rd time that it makes me wary of being a repeat customer.
After a long stressful week, I hoped for a relaxing hour massage. I called to make an appointment and was confirmed. I did call again to push the appointment later due to travel delays with rain and was told it would be fine. I did end up getting in a few minutes late but they took me in fairly quickly.

I'm reluctantly raving about Brightful because I don't want too many people to crowd it or drive up the prices LOL...
A colleague of mine invited me to Brightful because we both needed massages... TERRIBLY!!! We needed one not too far from our office and reasonably-priced. She found Brightful on Yelp and my fellow reviewers helped to cement our decision to check it out.
We both got deep tissue massages. She went to the back with Steve and I was up front with.... I'm so upset that I forgot her name because I need to ask for her again when I go back next week! She was amazing! It

I've had so many knots in my back and shoulders that I thought it was finally time to get a massage. I saw that Brightful Day Spa had opened recently and thought I would give it a try. It's a clean and quiet facility. There aren't rooms per se but privacy panels that divide up the space. I was the only one at 4:30 on a Friday.
This was my first deep tissue massage and I must admit it was painful!! But my masseuse really worked out all the knots and knew what she was doing. I already feel like my posture is better and my shoulders are so much relaxed. Don't underestimate these
