The Missing Piece in Your Training: Deep Recovery with Targeted Massage Therapy
Better Than a Spa. Made for the Way You Train. By Marc J. Gian, L.Ac., LMT – MJG Acupuncture & Massage | NYC
Reclaim Recovery
You’ve been putting in the work.
The results are showing — in your physique, your stamina, your discipline. You’re stronger. More focused. More committed than ever. Whether you’re hitting Barry’s Bootcamp four days a week, lifting heavy at Equinox, running through Prospect Park, or grinding through late-night Peloton rides, your body is a temple of effort.
But here’s the truth:
Effort alone won’t take you across the finish line. Recovery will.
And that’s where I come in.
Why Your Muscles Are Begging for Massage (Even If You Don’t Feel It Yet)
We often celebrate the burn, the pump, the grind. But too many people forget that the transformation happens in the recovery — not the workout.
Behind the scenes, your body is doing complex, intelligent repair work after every high-intensity session. But when stress, inflammation, fascia tightness, or adhesions block that process? Your gains slow down. Your joints ache. Your sleep gets shallow. Your energy dips.
Massage therapy, when done by a skilled, intuitive practitioner, is a powerful performance tool to help you:
• Boost circulation and lymphatic flow
• Decrease inflammation and DOMS
• Improve flexibility and joint mobility
• Support nervous system regulation
• Promote deep, restorative sleep
• Prevent injury and burnout
• Enhance mind-body awareness
This Isn’t Spa Massage. This Is Clinical, Therapeutic Work.
Spa massage has its place — candles, cucumber water, a fluffy robe. But if you’re training hard or moving your body with intensity, you need more than relaxing music and surface-level pressure.
At MJG Acupuncture & Massage, I bring over 25 years of experience working with athletes, performers, trainers, nurses, first responders, and high-performers. My approach is clinical, intuitive, and results-driven.
You can expect: • Deep tissue techniques that go beyond knots to correct imbalances
• Trigger point release for stubborn, recurring tension
• Stretching, joint mobilization, and postural awareness
• Myofascial work and Chinese Medicine-based techniques like Tui Na, cupping, and gua sha
• Optional aromatherapy and essential oils
• A calm, private, healing space where your body and nervous system can fully exhale
You’re Doing Great. You Look Great. But...
Your body looks amazing. Your strength is obvious. Your dedication shows. But even the most chiseled muscles hide stress, fascia adhesions, and silent inflammation.
You don’t need to be in pain to benefit from massage. You don’t need to be broken to invest in recovery. You don’t need to earn it. Your body deserves it now.
Massage + Mindset: The Secret Edge in Your Training
Massage supports your mental game too. When we work together, we’re not just working on tissue — we’re working on resilience, clarity, and presence.
After a great massage, you:
Breathe deeper
Feel more centered
Focus better
Stress less
Sleep deeper
Feel more in your body — not just pushing it •

What Real Clients Are Saying
“Marc has been amazing helping me with a lot of muscle tightness and neck pain due to herniated discs. I came to him after going to PT for two years and almost getting surgery. After a month of acupuncture treatment I feel so much better. My entire posture has changed, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! Cannot recommend him enough.” – Amelie M., NYC

Final Thought: You Don’t Need Permission to Heal
Your body has carried you through everything. The workouts. The stress. The late nights. The weight of expectations.
Massage isn’t just about muscle. It’s about returning to yourself. It’s about honoring what your body has done and giving it what it needs to keep going. This isn’t massage. This is what your body’s been asking for — a place to let go and finally exhale.
See you on the table.
