Gay massage in Park Slope

Park Slope's massage practices look more like small clinics than studios. Garden-level rooms in brownstones along Fifth and Seventh Avenues, a proper table, clean linens, and therapists who are usually licensed and happy to say where they trained. Prospect Park's running and cycling crowd keeps the demand therapeutic.

Expect a lot of deep tissue, myofascial work and post-injury rehab, plus prenatal-trained providers who also see male clients. Daytime availability is the best in the city because the local client base works from home; a Tuesday at eleven is easy to get, and often cheaper than the same therapist's evening slot.

Rates run $120 to $210 an hour. Outcall within brownstone Brooklyn is widely offered and Manhattan outcall less so — if you want a Park Slope therapist to come to you in Midtown, expect both a travel fee and a two-hour minimum block.
