I am often in Manhattan and a frequent monger. There are many places for FS and massage+FS and I have reviewed many on this site.  However, sometimes I feel like getting a real therapeutic massage given by a professional but ending with "soft touch" and hand release.  I have a really tough time finding good places for this in Manhattan.  There is a very well-known place called west garden spa but it is far from my usual hangouts (midtown east) and the massages are not that great.
Any recommendations?
