I’ve been going to Jody for massages for several years. Excellent massages and her location is immaculate. I was a little anxious returning during the Covid pandemic but felt very reassured by all the safety and cleanliness protocols she has in place. For much of the massage I actually forgot I had my mask on. Working at home causes a lot of neck and back issues so I definitely recommend getting a massage from Jody to alleviate some of those issues.

After taking a year off from basketball to recover from an ankle injury, in addition to lower back pain, I decided to visit Jody. Jody was exceptional in her ability to not only loosen some stiff areas in my back and ankles, but to also intuitively find other parts of my body that need therapy (like my left shoulder).
The hot stones was also very relaxing, and I kind of wanted to fall asleep, as Jody worked her magic. I have been to quite a few LMTs, but none seem to have the right amount of firmness and skills that Jody possesses. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking relief from the grind of every day life

My summer vacation was spent in Brooklyn where I live and work.
Today I had one hour in Nirvana land. “Wheres that”? Knead massage.
Jody is a lovely person and the best at what she does. Whenever I leave there I feel wonderful both Mentally and physically.

Came here on a recommendation of a friend and teammate who received a massage from Jody. I was suffering from a bad pull in my groin area and had a marathon coming up within a week. I called Jody up and set up an hour massage to work out the kinks with the hopes I would be good to go for the race.
Words cannot describe how thankful I am to Jody. She did an amazing job with my legs and working out the muscles. It relieve the pain and though I felt sore I knew it was due to the work she did and was to be expected.
Thanks to her I was able to run my marathon pain free! She is a great massage therapist, thoughtful and considerate and very sweet. I am definitely going back for a follow up.

just had my first appointment with Jody, and so look forward to the next one. Her work is highly specific and effective, but calming and comforting. She is warm, and caring, and considerate as she addresses tension patterns during the session. Highly knowledgable about the body, Jody is able to make assessments of problem areas during the massage and adjust accordingly, rather than just following some routine session given to all.
Her use of hot stones is really complimentary to her excellent orthopedic-style massage. She knows the power of heat and warmth to release deep underlying tension, and she uses it expertly.
I loved the massage, highly recommend Jody, and am happy to know there will be more!

I love going to see Jody, even though I cringe at the thought of massages (too ticklish). She is very thoughtful and thorough, and will work out any kink or limited mobility issue you may have. I see her for deep tissue sports rehab massage therapy, but I hear her relaxation massages are unreal – if that’s more your style. Go see her, you won’t regret it.

Knead Massage comes in for a few hours at the co-working space where I work. I went once, received a massage from Ceallaigh Pender, and I went back the next two times, and I plan on going back. Not only is the massage a perfect way to end a stressful work week, but Ceallaigh is very personable, kind, and skilled at her job. The massage is very relaxing, especially with meditation music playing in the background. 10/10 will go back.

Jody is an incredibly skilled massage therapist. I have major muscular issues that flare up regularly, so I have spent time with a range of therapists – hard to believe my luck when I found Knead about ten blocks from my house in Brooklyn.
Jody is very professional – both in the way she handles her business and appointments, to her demeanor when she greets you. She is also uncannily intuitive – she can quickly feel where the issues are and modifies her style and focus to respond as the session progresses.
No new agey-ness, no superficial spa massage, no untrained deep tissue hammering – just pure competence and healing

I recently had my second appointment with Jody (the first time at the Kensington space). I had some serious pain that I was holding in my left shoulder area and neck. She worked on it aggressively using a combination of hot stones, hot towels, targeted pressure and light touches. She is clearly engaged in the patient – identifying your needs and then allocating her time accordingly. Even though she spent a lot of time on my back and shoulders I didn’t feel like she rushed through the rest of the massage. And while my visit was clearly therapeutic, the space and spa-like accoutrements -like scented oils, heat packs, and candles- made it completely relaxing.

I am a full time massage therapist myself and I discovered Jody when she came to me for a massage. It was my lucky day I have now turned the tables on her and have been going to Jody at Knead Massage Therapy for some months now. I work my body extremely hard and am constantly on the edge of repetitive action injury. It is obvious that Jody knows the human body and how it works very well. In my sessions with her she addresses my problem areas and eases my pain and increases function. Amazingly I also leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Without doubt this woman is a healer.

This was my first time getting a massage from Toby at Knead. I found her ad on the Ditmas Park blog and decided to try Knead because it’s close to home. I was MORE THAN pleased with my massage. Toby knows what she’s doing and is very easy to work with. She preferred not to talk much as she said she “needed to concentrate.” That freed me up to fall asleep! I am sold on Toby and on Knead Massage Therapy.
