Armory Massage Therapy

Overview

Armory Massage Therapy is a professional massage therapy studio established since 2006, specializing in integrative therapeutic massages rather than traditional saunas. Housed in a bright, spacious Dutch colonial mansion built in 1930 in Syracuse’s historic Sedgwick Farms neighborhood, it provides a warm, welcoming, and relaxing atmosphere infused with subtle Peruvian cultural influences like richly colored textiles and hand-painted decor. The experience emphasizes personalized care blending clinical expertise with holistic healing, supporting recovery, relaxation, stress relief, and resilience. Clients enjoy adjustable treatment rooms with customizable lighting, music, temperature, and face rests, fostering a sense of safety, inner peace, and rejuvenation. Unique vibroacoustic technology elevates sessions into dreamlike states, ideal for busy professionals, athletes, travelers, and those seeking touchless options.
