Vital Touch Therapy

229 W 97th St Suite 1D, New York, NY 10025 (inside Westside Pilates)

Rebecca Flanders LMT

With both an intuitive and skilled touch I specialize in integrative massage therapy that combines deep tissue, myofasical release, trigger point therapy, and classic Swedish techniques tailored to your individual needs. A graduate of the highly respected Swedish Institute of Health Sciences in New York City, I bring over 10 years of experience to my practice. Currently, I’m expanding my expertise by studying with the esteemed Christine Schneider of the Visceral Voice where I am working with people who sing and speak for a living. 

At Vital Touch Therapy, I’m dedicated to helping you achieve less pain and more ease in your movement. My client-centered approach fosters collaboration, ensuring you feel supported on your journey toward wellness. 

Outside of my massage practice I enjoy spending with my toddler (really I do!), studying voice and practicing Iyengar yoga.

What people are saying:

  • Rebecca is INCREDIBLE! I’m a singer and performer, and because of Rebecca’s expertise, she particularly was able to work on my shoulders and hips to focus on my breath support and stamina. She noted which muscle groups to focus on when stretching at home and different techniques for maintenance. My body feels so refreshed and loose–my shoulders are notably lower and more rotated. The location was also super convenient, right off the 1/2/3 at 96th on the UWS. Highly highly recommend!!

  • My recent massage completely exceeded my expectations. The space itself was super clean and relaxing, Rebecca was incredibly communicative, and took the time to understand what I was looking for out of a massage. She focused on my trouble spots, and knew how to work with my body to release any tension with the perfect amount of pressure. I’ve been waiting for a place like this in the neighborhood for a long time, and it’s so nice to finally have such a great option nearby.

  • I’m an active 70 plus woman with joint issues who now swims daily, does yoga 3 x weekly and walks everywhere all thanks to Rebecca. She is my secret weapon to ever improving wellness. Come to the West Side. She is well worth the trip

  • Rebecca is an incredibly sensitive, enthusiastic and professional LMT. Her work transformed my jaw in a single session! As someone with a lot of tongue tension and shoulder and neck related issues, she has provided tools to continue to help retrain my body. I cannot recommend her enough.

    Emma S.

  • Rebecca’s massages are honestly the best, she just gets exactly what I need. She takes the time to really figure out where to focus, so it always ends up feeling actually helpful, not just your average relaxing massage. I always leave feeling satisfied and ready to take on my day

    Yoni N.

  • I am so glad that I found Vital Touch Therapy! My massage from Rebecca was amazing! I am currently going through chemotherapy and she was incredibly receptive to my specific needs, including more sensitive spots and where I was in the most discomfort. I will definitely be going back!!

  • You are in very good hands with Vital Touch Therapy and Rebecca Flanders, LMT. Her years of professional experience, including specialist expertise in speech and movement, are abundantly apparent from the beginning of your session. This was one of the best massage therapy sessions I’ve experienced. I left feeling more energetic and more peaceful, better informed about my own posture and body, and maybe even two inches taller!!!
