Oasis Day Spa on 1 Park Avenue stands out for its excellent service and atmosphere. I was greeted with warm smiles and shown to the changing room, where I found a particularly comfortable towel and slippers. I also noticed a small sauna in the men’s changing area, but I did not have time to utilize it because it was time for my massage. I walked down the perfectly quiet, soothingly dark hallway and found a waiting area. I did not even have time to nibble on fruit before my masseur, Kevin A, introduced himself.

From the first moment of introduction, Keven was a fantastic masseur. Kind and gentle in person, he made me feel comfortable immediately. He led me to the treatment room and I hoped he would give my massage the same careful attention he showed while we briefly spoke. As I could not have been happier with the treatment. The “Muscle Meltdown,” a classic treatment at Oasis, combined heat and body work to produce an extremely relaxing effect. Kevin loosened my muscles, especially in my upper back and neck area, and I released tension I did not even realize I had been carrying.

The “Muscle Meltdown” involves hot towels, rolled up and then placed throughout my back. I never became uncomfortable, but my body did become extremely hot, as if I were in a sauna. I believe the heat only made my muscles more relaxed because Kevin was able to massage me so well that I felt incredible for many days following.

I would highly recommend Oasis spa because of its clean atmosphere, respectful service, and exceptional massage treatment. It caters to both men and women, and upholds the best professionalism. It is conveniently located less than a block away from the 6 train — on Park Avenue, between 33rd and 33nd. Enjoy!
