Keisy Oriental Nature Center

Great place. Came for acupuncture for a gym injury. Very reasonable prices and good service. I really recommend them.

Giving four instead of five only because it’s my one and only time here, I had a great 45 minute massage! Price is good and walk in available. I’ll be back.

This place is great! Its exactly what you pay for — no frills but a great massage for a great price. I had an appointment with David for some back pain. He was incredible! I walked out feeling like a new person. Scheduling an appointment was easy, they take CC’s (for a small extra charge) and are easy to find. Definitely better than other places of the same category.

I exercise anywhere from 4 – 5 times a week (and I haven’t lost 1 Ib… I’m doing something wrong) and while at work… (desk job). I slump for 8 hours a day. (I don’t recommend this. by «this» I mean working). Pair tight pecs /​back muscles with horrible posture and you’ll have lots of knots and shoulder/​neck pain that wont go away.
Jason did a wonderful job easing the tenseness of my muscles and relaxing my neck. I felt 110 times better leaving than how I did going in. This massage parlor does things right. They get to the root of the problem whether it be tight muscles, knots, pain, pinched nerves and they fix it. It was painful at times because he really put his weight into it and massaged out all of my knots. But today, 1 day later, I am feeling little to no pain, only a little muscle soreness which he warned me about.
I would recommend this parlor to anyone who is looking for a deep tissue massage. Ask for Jason. He is polite and very good at what he does. He fixed me!

Not my first rodeo when it comes to massages. In fact, I’m certified in reflexology. This was an amazing experience! Painful? Yes, because he hit all the necessary release points for healing. Effective? Absolutely! I KNOW my body is healthier for this gift of massage and foot reflexology. Wish I lived locally and could make it an every week kind of thing. Thank you Jason!

I have been meaning to find a massage place near my office for oh I don’t conceive about 8 years, and so I ventured out and did. I want to just educate a bit and say that please do not expect a swedish massage, and if you aren’t familiar with shiatsu and acupressure or Tui-​na massages styles you should ask before going in, because it can be painful and I reckon it should be. Asian healing practices are created around energy flow and preventive medicine and channels that relate to organs and also the elements of the earth. With that if you are still with me I urge you to give it a try. You can make an appointment or you can walk in, you can’t beat the price $ 45/​hr cash or $ 48/​hr credit, and the rooms are clean and you are tended to your back and neck the most, which is where most people hold their stress. The only reason I am not giving this place a 5 stars is precisely, that I didn’t get an explanation walking in as to the type of massage I was getting and my therapist, though I truly adore him — James and WILL return to him, didn’t ask me which areas to concentrate on or what my issues were, but this is more of a customer service area as well as perhaps a language barrier, I don’t think he spoke much english. I think its the deepest massage I ever experienced. Which is good and bad, means I will have to make my way there as often as possible and spend lots of money but again at this price there isn’t much to debate and only to be excited and good that I finally have a massage place I can rely on!

Had 1 hr back massage and 30 min foot massage. Masseuse’s name was Sing. Outstanding! This place never disappoints. Definitely recommend. The staff is friendly, cheerful and polite. The place is clean. The music is soothing. Will be back.

This is going to be my go-​to place for massages. It’s a small massage place but the fact that they have individual rooms makes all the difference. The wait on a Friday evening was only 10 min. I got a 30 min massage which, for me, was plenty of kneading and rubbing. I sprained my upper shoulder earlier that week but the pain was nearly all gone after my session.
It’s also pretty cheap compared to most places, especially if you don’t want to make that trek down to Chinatown, where most massage places look mad sketch.
Bring cash because there’s a surcharge if you pay by card.

AMAZING MASSAGE! I LOVE THIS PLACE! Extremely clean and legit. The masseuse was very nice and amazing at massage. She was very strong and knew the exact target areas. Although I’ve never done acupuncture, they specialize in it so I’m sure this is why they can pinpoint certain muscles. I have not done acupuncture because I want to be sure in the person and establishment and I would definitely go there. They make you feel special and you leave feeling wonderful. 5 stars!

I normally don’t give a place 5 stars but for the effectiveness and customer service, it deserve it. It’s not really a «spa» as to speak but if you want your muscle kinks worked out, this place is your spot. It’s a simple spot. After reading my friend’s review I decided to try this place out with a couple of friends.
There was 5 of us but we all had different time schedule so we made reservations different time after work. Initially, I made reservation at 5:30PM but kept changing it every 10 minutes due to job. My final reservation was at 6:30PM. The person on the phone was very professional and nice about it. I did not sense any attitude or what so ever (If so, this would be a one star place lol).
After arriving, my masseuse James gave me a awesome massage on my neck and shoulder in which I requested. The amount of pressure was hard, which was perfect for what I needed. Once it was done, I felt a little pain on the neck and shoulder but it was a good pain. He handed me a cup of water and I paid at the front desk. My friends had similar experiences.
Cheap, clean and effective, what else can you ask for lol. I know I will be coming back!

I’ve been going to Dr. Xu for acupuncture for about five years. I’m a professional musician (bass player) and amateur baseball player with a long history of finger and arm troubles… whenever I have a flare-​up, maybe once a year, Dr. Xu cures me in a single session. As someone who is pretty rough on my body on a daily basis, this is an invaluable resource.
Making reservations is incredibly simple — I usually call and make them day-​of — and the price, $ 50 per session, is second to none. There is a $ 20 first-timer’s consultation fee, and Dr. Xu typically prescribes $ 6 – 8 worth of herbal pills to go home with, and Keisy doesn’t take insurance. But if you have an acute injury or chronic issues that aren’t going away, I can’t recommend Dr. Xu highly enough.
And for the record, I once got a massage here… it was fantastic and affordable. Sorry to hear some people had negative experiences… which reminds me, Dr. Xu also wraps his acupuncture treatments up with a 5-​or-​so-​minute rubdown of the afflicted areas.

This place is great! I had Jason for a 90-​minute session today and he really knows all your trigger points and meridians. He was very strong and able to apply the deep pressure that I wanted and my body feels rejuvenated! Make sure to tell the front desk exactly what you want so they can relay it to your therapist. Acupressure and shiatsu are supposed to hurt… so this place is not for the weak! Lol.
I don’t recommend this place to people who don’t frequently get massages as it really is a no-​frills spa — you’re literally in and out.

Solid, Clean, Effective, No frills, Affordable.
Great place to get a massage and foot rub. The location is very easy to find and the facility is just one flight up some stairs on top of a Japanese restaurant.
I was greeted by one of the sweetest managers in the front. Carmen who was very patient and professional asked if I had any health or restrictions before she referred me to my masseuse Shirley.
To get best results, you will be asked to leave almost nothing on except you underwear. If you are shy about your body, don’t worry, the rooms are very private and the staff is very professional about everything.
During my table Shiatsu massage, I laid face down and a thin cloth was spread across, covering my body and legs. Shirley worked her magic throughout my body and legs. She applied the right amount of pressure and strength. Occasionally she would ask if the strength level is okay and if I was comfortable, very accommodating and courteous. When it was time to massage my shoulders, she would use her hands to come into full contact with my skin instead of through the thin cloth. Light lotion would be applied to make the friction and pressure applied evenly and smoothly across my shoulders. FELT SO GREAT. Towards the end of the massage you will be asked to flipped over and to be worked on your legs, calves and foot before it all comes to an end.
After your relaxing state of mind, get dressed and ready to go, you are offered some water. It is recommended to drink some water to help aid you with the process after your massage session.
1 hour massage will run you about $ 45. Credit card accepted! The facilities are very clean and organized. The rooms are a bit tight, but you will be lying down most of the time anyways, so it didn’t really matter how big the rooms were. Make an appointment before going, because it can get pretty busy during peak relaxation times (after work, and weekends).

I don’t normally write reviews but OMG, I had to write something! Dr. Xu is just beyond amazing!!! I broke my ankle few years back, always had problem around that area. Also, I had bad sinus and indigestion problem and was so sick of taking endless medicine … so I went to see if anyone can help me. They recommend acupuncture and wow… I can’t say the pain magically gone away but the swelling went away within a day. And since then, I have been walking and sleeping soooo much better.
I also took my mom there for massage few times. I agree with some of the reviews, it’s not a 5 stars experience but it’s a 5 stars massage! It truly helped my mom’s shoulder and neck pain. She couldn’t lift her arm over her shoulder for almost a year and now she can! I took her to $ 200/​hour massage before and the experience was GREAT but other than being super relax, whatelse? This is not a place you go to for flower, candles and wonderfully smelling oils. But it does the trick beyond your expectation.

This is absolutely one of my favorite places in the east Village, such a healing center, everyone there is so nice, i’ve been going to their location in Chinatown for many many years, I was so happy when they opened there east village location, I go once a week, all the therapists are amazing, of course I have my favorites. Highly recommend. For anyone who wants to ease a little bit of the city stress out of their life, go get a massage, your body will thank you.

I’d give Shirley, the masseuse, 4 stars. I got a reflexology session and also a full body massage. She knew all the right pressure points and had the right amount of deep pressure for the deep tissue massage. Minus one star because the lady that was working the front was so cold/​rude. But if you’re looking for a solid massage minus all the spa amentities and if you don’t mind it being a bit loud (walls don’t go all the way up to the ceiling) then this is a good place to get the job done. Cash is a few dollars less than if you pay by credit card. And tips is cash only.

Ok here is the scoop. I really don’t like negative reviews but… this was just something else.
I’ve come here twice. The first time I was with a lady and she was a-​ok. I don’t actually remember the experience so it must not have been bad or good either way and I came back again so I think it was mildly relaxing…
Then I encountered Jason. He attacked my body and at first the pressure was irritating. I could feel my muscles rub over my bones. Instead of working out my knotted, stress shoulders and neck he would press the crap out of them… all while breathing really heavily and then audibly either drinking something or smacking on gum. He would rub his hands hard over my non-​lotioned skin and it burned like hell.
I was disturbed at first. Eventually I would flail my legs a bit to let him know I wasn’t happy about the fact he was throwing his body into mine and causing all my pain fibers to light up like a Christmas tree. None of this experience was relaxing in the least bit.
Then I about had the silent treatment (I was trying to respect the other customers… there is no privacy in this place really, which is typical of this kind of establishment). I started telling him its too hard. Too much pressure. Instead of letting up he half started and then again pressed the crap out of my muscles. To the point where I was moaning for him to stop and he was just saying… its ok its ok. Does that not sound like its a little off?
So then I finally had enough. Massages are supposed to be partially painful in this genre but not ALL painful. I stopped the massage and I’m sure it was a bit prior to the culmination of my allotted time. He proceeded to leave and… I’m fairly certain start talking shit about me to his co-​workers in his native language. I’m not an idiot buddy and the walls are non-​existent!
I still had to pay the price they quoted for credit card payment of a 45 minute massage. I told them I’m sorry it hurt too much and their response? It’s normal. I’m so thankful they hadn’t set me up for an hour. I think I would have died. Or torn my muscle tendons somewhere. My calf still hurts, he pressed HARD on the area right behind my kneecap (that is NOT kosher), and my stressed, knotted shoulders are STILL tense.
Buyer beware. You’re paying for what you get.

Very solid massage from Jason and a good overall experience, especially for the price. I agree with everyone’s reviews below that it is no-​frills, so if you are looking for a full-​on spa experience this is not for you. However the space is clean, and the massage is very good. A little painful — but you’ll feel great in the end!
$ 45 cash and a few dollars more for credit card.

I had Amy and it was awful.
This was my second time, and I’m not coming back.
She might MIGHT know the body, I’m not really sure, but she definitely has no intuition, no sense of touch, no finesse. She attacked my shoulders, barely touched anything else, and didn’t touch my feet at all. When I was done she left the room for 2 minutes and then mid way through my dressing she came back in to re-​set. Then she told me to hurry up for her next customer. She almost didn’t leave the room again but she realized I wasn’t going to dress while she was in it. Then she followed me out to the register to wait for her tip. I was very torn about giving her anything at all but I put two bucks in the envelope.
I think she reflects bad management and a scam of an organization.

I got great great massage today.
It’s $ 45/hour!!!(if you pay by cash) and I’m very very satisfied/​relieved/​relaxed/​energized.
