Massage Room Rental for Licensed Therapists

The table: height, heat and controls

The room is fitted with a heated spa bed rather than a portable folding table. Working height is adjustable, which matters more than most listings admit — a fixed 30-inch table forces a tall therapist into lumbar flexion for a full 90-minute deep tissue session, and forces a shorter therapist onto their toes for compression work. You set the height at the start of your block and leave it there.

Table warming is on a separate control from the room, so you can run the pad warm for a client who arrives cold from the street and back it off for a client who runs hot or is in for sports work. The face cradle is adjustable and there are bolsters for supine knee support and side-lying positioning. If you prefer your own table for a specific technique — Thai work on a mat, for example — tell us in advance rather than turning up with it.

Linens and how laundry actually works

Fresh linens are supplied and laundered by us: sheet set, face cradle cover, blanket and towels for every booking. You do not carry laundry home and you are not charged a per-set fee. At the end of your booking, used linens go into the marked hamper in the room and you pull a fresh set from the cupboard for whoever is next. That is the entire protocol.

If you use anything that stains — arnica creams, strongly pigmented balms, anything with a heavy resin — flag it, because those items go in a separate wash. Repeated staining is the one thing that ends up billed back.

Hot towel warmer and hot stones

There is a towel warmer in the room, stocked, and it takes roughly twenty minutes to come up to temperature from cold. Turn it on when you arrive rather than when you want the towels. There is also a hot stone warmer with a basalt set; stones take considerably longer to heat, so if hot stone work is part of your session, build that into your arrival time or ask us to pre-heat before your block starts.

Oil and product storage

You are welcome to bring and use your own oils, lotions and balms. There is shelf space in the room for the bottles you are working from during your block, and lockable storage for regulars who would rather not carry a full kit across Manhattan twice a week — that is arranged case by case rather than being automatic. Bottles left on the open shelf between bookings will be moved, because the next practitioner needs the surface.

Our own proprietary CBD and Emu oil stays in our kit and is not part of the rental. If you want to try it with a client, ask.

Licence and insurance

New York State licenses massage therapy through the Office of the Professions, and we rent only to LMTs holding a current NYS licence. You will also need your own professional liability insurance in your own name — a policy naming your former employer, or your school's student coverage, does not qualify. Send both documents before your first booking; we verify once and then you self-book from the calendar.

How long you actually get between clients

Bookings are in clock hours, and the room must be clear at the end of your block. In practice that means a 60-minute client inside a 60-minute booking is tight: five minutes of intake, fifty on the table, five to strip linens and wipe down leaves you nothing. Most LMTs booking back-to-back clients here reserve 75 or 90 minutes per 60-minute session — the spa room rental durations are built around exactly that spacing, so you are not paying for a full clock hour just to get ten extra minutes of turnaround.

Where your clients wait

There is a small seated waiting area outside the suite, so a client who turns up ten minutes early is not standing in the corridor or walking in on your previous session. There is no receptionist — clients come up to the fifth floor and wait, and you collect them. Tell your clients the suite number, 501, when you confirm with them; it saves a phone call at the door.
