Massage Therapy

Bodywork that actually does something. With a varied menu of treatments and a reputation we're proud of, our team is dedicated to your genuine relief and recovery.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping decompresses tissue, frees fascia, and creates space where the body's sensory nerves can finally breathe. The effects tend to linger long after you leave the table.

Prenatal Massage

A supportive massage crafted for the changing needs of pregnancy, relieving pain, headaches, stress, and anxiety in a way that feels as safe as it does restorative.

Reflexology

A deeply grounding treatment that works through the reflex points of the feet to calm the nervous system, ease pain, and invite a natural release of feel-good endorphins.

Spa Therapy

Our most indulgent offerings, these full-body experiences weave together lymphatic work, massage, foot scrubs, full-body mud wraps, and luscious scalp and facial massage. So deeply relaxing from head to toe.

Ashiatsu

-Coming Soon!

Ashiatsu is a barefoot massage where your therapist uses their feet to deliver broad, deeply satisfying pressure and profound fascial release that sinks deeper than anything you've tried before. Stay tuned.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral works with both the fascia of the central nervous system and the subtle pulse of cerebrospinal fluid. Helpful for migraines, chronic pain, brain fog, nervous system dysregulation, and emotional holding.

Thai Massage

Absolute best massage ever!!! I was lucky enough to get 2 appointments for my husband and I on the same day for the same time. They are located on the North Side in Manchester and I will say, it is kind of a weird location - amongst warehouses and office buildings. There is free street parking right outside of the building! You go into the building and take the elevator to the fifth floor - it is kind of unassuming. However, when you walk in, you will be transported! It is a beautiful and relaxing space. My massage was incredible and the therapist actually listened to what I was looking for. It is a huge space and they offer many different services like sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy, etc. Overall, will absolutely be back!

Heal Pgh is easily the best place I've been to for a massage. The new building has ample parking around it (I usually park by the river/walking trail with no issue finding a spot). The building itself has both a few stairs and a ramp at the entrance (with handrails), so if you rely on a walker or mobility aid to get around, it's not a challenge to get inside! An elevator takes you up to the fifth floor, and I've never had an issue hearing pedestrian or car traffic outside because we're so high up!

If you are immunocompromised or spend time around people who are, this place is incredibly mask friendly! I've worn my mask to multiple appointments and never gotten unkind remarks or looks. On the contrary, multiple receptionists have seen my mask and immediately asked if I'd like my therapist to wear one during our session. It's a welcome change from some places I've been.

I've gotten 2 massages done here (60 minutes and 90 minutes), and one Acupuncture session. The staff here is absolutely fantastic and every person I've interacted with has been wonderful.

Scheduling is a breeze and can be done all online, and they're extremely careful with COVID precautions (patients must wash hands prior to massage, masks on, strong air purifiers in every room)

My massages (a few months apart) were done to address some upper back pain. From start to finish, the staff did an excellent job listening to my issues, gaining an understanding of my history and what I've done for relief. They gave me pointers and exercises to follow to address the upper back pain for the future. The entire massage was something out of this world - having sore and tight muscles that have been causing problems for months to suddenly be addressed, stretched, massaged, is something else. I honestly don't know how they do it but to pinpoint specific muscle fibers and knead/stretch them, is amazing to say the least. Amy performed my acupuncture session.

Walking in, I had no idea what to expect but she put my mind at ease by explaining the process and what acupuncture serves to achieve. Again, this was used to address some upper back pain/trouble sleeping at night. Like the massage therapists, she listened to my history, what I've tried, what my daily schedule looks like, what causes additional, less pain, etc. She started around my shoulders and then moved to my upper back. The process is very much a back and forth between you and the acupuncturist - they'll feel around for trigger points and you let them know when they've found one. Once one has been found, she'll use a very thin needle to address that point. The feeling of that happening is wild, in a good way, all it feels like is there's a bird over your trigger point flapping it's wings. The first couple she hit around my shoulder immediately dropped my pulled-forward shoulder back into place. I was sore the next day, as she mentioned would happen, but the next few days I noticed a definite improvement - much more reduced neck pain, the upper back feels less tense during the day, and my shoulder doesn't feel out of alignment! She provided me with a list of exercises to do throughout the day to also help strengthen my back muscles.

If you've never had a professional massage done, or acupuncture, I absolutely cannot recommend it enough, but definitely make sure it's done by anyone at Pittsburgh Acupuncture and Massageworks! Everyone here is absolutely excellent and you can tell they take an immense about of pride in what they do and it definitely shows - they sincerely care about seeing you get better!
