Sonia Maksimovich,LMT

Massage Therapist

In 2010 I completed my certification in Neuromuscular Therapy. I find NMT to be very helpful in treating chronic pain issues of a muscular origin. Many of my clients come to me seeking relief from this kind of pain, whether it be from sitting in front of a computer 40+ hours a week, collateral damage from an injury or surgery, or whatever else life throws their way.

In October 2011 I decided I didn’t want to spend another minute working in a spa and accepted a position at a chiropractic office in Brooklyn, but my start date wasn’t for another six weeks. I decided to take this opportunity to see if I could start my dream of building a private massage practice in Astoria. I ended up not needing that chiropractic job after all and have been growing my practice ever since. Read more

    I had my first appointment with Sonia today and I'm so happy to have found her! Sonia has such a welcoming and calming personality, I immediately felt at ease. She took the time to ask me about what I was looking for and what areas of my body were bothering me. Sonia is really cool!

    ... Sonia's also got a pretty chill playlist that was nice - I liked that she had actual music on and not some weird spa music, though I'm sure if you ask her she'd play that.

    ... She has helped immensely, relieving the pain and getting out the knots. Her massages are not painful, like some others I have had, and it is very evident that she tailors the message specifically to your body. In this way, no massage is the same even if you're getting the same part worked on.

    Her online appointments are easy to make and her office is clean and comfortable. She is super friendly and easy to talk to. I am so fortunate to have found her and am glad I have made the decision to see her regularly!

    ... Sonia knows how to give a deep tissue massage without me leaving in pain. If I just want to in for your traditional Swedish massage and just relax she can do that as well. I always walk out feeling better than when I came in.

    Her work space is clean, cozy and very relaxing. And that fact that Sonia really takes the time to ask what you need her to work on, how you are feeling and she is pleasant and professional makes the whole experience a good one and another reason I walk out feeling rejuvenated. Thank you for being part of the reason I can function without pain.

    As my first massage experience, it went beyond my expectations. Sonia's friendly and personable attitude made it very easy for me to stay comfortable. The sessions was excellent. Sonia was very attentive to my needs. I'm definitely making another appointment!

    Hello everyone. So yesterday I received a 90 min medical massage from Sonia. I am also a massage therapist and was scared that herniated a disk because of the pain I was in. Sonia reassured me that I would be fine, and she knew exactly where the origin of pain is. She also went over some really helpful self massage and stretching exercises to combat my tight gluts from puling on my lumbar. This morning I do not even feel sore which usually I do after a medical massage, and the pain is almost gone. Awesomeness!!! She is most open-hearted, friendly and knowledgeable therapist in Astoria. If you are in pain, or a cross fitter like me and always feeling tight, just go to her and prevent injuries. THank you sonia for putting me back together. I will be back. Yeah :)
