Are you experiencing pain & looking for a solution?

Do Not Stay In Discomfort & Pain

Repetitive stress, physical training, and everyday movement demands can strain the body over time. Massage therapy helps reduce discomfort, support injury recovery, improve movement quality, and promote overall physical well-being.

Sports Massage

Sports massage session incorporates many techniques and modalities such as deep tissue, myofascial release, compressions, stretching, cupping, kinesiotaping, IASTM, heat/ice therapy, etc. to help you recover better and faster. It is considered a beneficial treatment for professional athletes, but it can be valuable to anyone, no matter how physically active.

SPORTS MASSAGE IS FOR YOU IF YOU:

→ are recovering from a sports injury

→ are a professional athlete or physically active

→ feel like your body is stiff, sore or achy

→ want to enhance your performance and prevent injuries in the future

Medical Massage

The Medical Massage focuses on chronic muscular pain and various dysfunctions. It is a collaborative treatment approach that often involves medical diagnosis. Since it is a very targeted treatment, medical massage does not include full body massage. Better results are always achieved with regular visits.

MEDICAL MASSAGE IS FOR YOU IF YOU:

→ are undergoing a recovery process from an injury such as sprains/strains, tendinitis, nerve entrapments, muscle overuse, herniated discs, etc

→ experience tension headaches and migraines

→ suffer from chronic pain

→ have muscular and postural imbalances such as scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis

Therapeutic Massage

This treatment promotes the body’s natural restorative functioning. A combination of various techniques such as Swedish, deep tissue, specific point work, and stretches help to relieve muscular tension and encourage relaxation and decrease stress. I endeavor to create an environment for the body to heal properly on its own and use the power of touch to send the right signals to do so.

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE IS FOR YOU IF YOU:

→ experience stress or anxiety

→ experience insomnia or difficulty sleeping

→ want to enhance your health

→ are looking for muscle and joint pain/discomfort relief

→ just need a minute for yourself to de-stress and relax

ABOUT

Hi, I’m Daria Bondar

I’m a licensed massage therapist based in NYC with a deep passion for bodywork, movement, and long-term physical health. Since 2018, I’ve helped active individuals, athletes, and people recovering from injury or managing chronic pain move better and return to their daily activities with confidence.

My approach blends sports, medical, and therapeutic massage with intentional movement and stretching. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, I focus on how the body functions as a whole.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Exercise Sciences and will be starting the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Touro University in August 2026. My work is grounded in evidence-based care and shaped by years of hands-on clinical experience, with the goal of helping clients build resilient, sustainable bodies.
