Press & Awards

Bodyworks DW and founder David Weintraub, LMT, have been featured in national outlets including The New York Times, GQ, and BuzzFeed, as well as leading industry publications like Massage Magazine. Unlike spa-focused massage, our work is medical massage — results-oriented care for pain relief, recovery, and long-term wellness. Our expertise has also been recognized repeatedly by Expertise.com and the Sunday Wellness Awards.
