Using Traditional Massage Techniques
The practice of massage has been used in some form or another since the beginning of time. Every culture has its own form of practice, developing unique approaches to address specific physical issues. However, the goal of every type of massage remains the same. The primary purpose is always to enhance health and restore balance to the body. Marjorie Brook, LMT is experienced in many areas of massage and knows which type will be best to improve your symptoms. She uses all of the following massage methods:
This style of massage focuses on manipulating the body’s soft tissues, such as the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. A European or Swedish massage may help to improve circulation, release chronic tension and muscle pain, increase flexibility, and reduce physical fatigue.
This form of oriental bodywork draws its techniques from traditional medical principles and an understanding of the energy channels, or meridians, of the body. Using gentle manipulations of acupressure points, Amma can help restore balance and facilitate the flow of energy in the body.
Using the process of heat transfer, paraffin wax therapy provides fast results. It may help to temporarily ease pain from chronic arthritis and joint stiffness as well as promote healing of sports injuries, muscle spasms, bone bruises, and inflammation. The process uses heat transferred from melted paraffin wax, which penetrates deep into the muscles and joints as the wax solidifies.
Why Choose a Massage Therapist Who Understands Scar Tissue?
Whether it’s from a C-section, other major surgery or falling off your bike as a child, most people have scars and adhesions that are negatively affecting their body. Throughout our life, adhesions are built-up in the body through everyday repetitive or static positions that lock up our tissues such as looking down at cellphones, laptops, and tablets for extended periods of time or from surgeries or traumatic injuries that result in scar tissue.
Together these cause problems throughout every single system in our body. And that is why it is extremely important to choose a massage therapist who understands how scar tissue and adhesions impact the body and what the right approach is to healing scar tissue and adhesions based on the cause.
For over 20 years, Marjorie has specialized in scar tissue release and massage therapy. Due to the lack of understanding about the impact of scar tissue on the body, Marjorie made it her mission to thoroughly understand how scar tissue and adhesions affect the body and create a treatment protocol that helps heal the body. She is the creator of the Scar Tissue Release and Integrated Therapies (S.T.R.A.I.T Method™) and offers continuing education courses on this method all over the world.
What Marjorie’s Clients Have Been Saying
10/10 positive experience. After meeting Marjorie in yoga class (where everyone sang her praises) I made an appointment with her to fix a shoulder issue I've had for years. She is a magician. At first I didn't notice much of a difference, but after a day or two I felt fantastic--literally the best I've felt in years. The best part is that she led me in stretches I can do at home if the problem persists, and she's great at getting back to her clients if there's ever any future concern.
My experience with Marjorie Brook as both a massage therapist & a caring individual has been life changing. I had surgery for a malignant melanoma 38 years ago leaving me with a massive scar which restricted blood flow & range of motion to my foot& ankle. Her expertise as a massage therapist has changed the physiology of my foot & ankle.
Marjorie Brook’s a wonderful massage therapist, extremely knowledgeable about how to improve the lack of skin elasticity secondary to radiation therapy, skillful in post-operative scar tissue release as well as improving muscle injury. She uses various techniques in order to improve long term range of motion for clients suffering from these issues. Marjorie has improved mobility thus improving my quality of life. I recommend her whole heartedly.
Hands-down the BEST massage therapist. I have searched for someone that understands the pain points and how to treat and heal the areas of concern. Marjorie checks all the boxes. I highly recommend!!
I got Marjorie’s information from several people who had used her in the past for different issues that she had basically lack of a better word fixed for them. I went to her with shoulder pain I have been experiencing on and off for years. The pain has for the most part gone from a 8 to a 2. My shoulder was going into spasms most of the day when I went to her, now it might happen for a few minutes once or twice a week. I then went back to her after an IT band injury during a half marathon. She did intense stretching and I can now continue running which I couldn’t do before her visit. She has also fixed multiple scar tissue issues for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with physical pain that they can’t seem to get healed on their own.

Massage Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between medical massage and a spa massage?
Medical massage starts with your history, not a menu. Before any treatment, Marjorie reviews your medical history and assesses how old injuries, surgeries, and daily mechanics are driving your pain. As she puts it: “I’m a medical massage therapist. I’ve had medical training — I know the body, anatomy, physiology. I explain how you ended up this way, we correct the body to get you out of pain, and we correct the body mechanics so you don’t end up back in that situation.”
Can massage therapy help if physical therapy didn’t?
Often, yes — many of Marjorie’s Wantagh clients arrive after PT, chiropractic, or acupuncture brought only temporary relief. The difference is the lens: rather than treating the painful spot in isolation, she looks for the restrictions — often scar tissue and adhesions — that keep pulling the body back into dysfunction. In her clinical experience, “60% of what shows up on a massage therapist’s table traces back to a childhood or early-age injury.”
Does massage therapy have to hurt to work?
No. “Therapy is not supposed to hurt. The goal is to get through with as minimal pain as possible — and the power is with the patient, not the therapist. You control the session.” Marjorie works layer by layer rather than forcing tissue, and adjusts to your feedback — physical and emotional — throughout.
How much does massage therapy cost in Wantagh?
Office sessions are $90 for 30 minutes, $175 for 60, and $260 for 90, with 60-minute packages from $510 for three sessions. Sessions are private-pay; this keeps appointments unhurried and treatment decisions between you and your therapist rather than an insurance formulary. HSA/FSA cards are accepted.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on how long your body has been compensating. “It’s never a one-and-done. It’s a process — it’s layered. That scar is attached to maybe a million other things that have been building since you fell off your trike at three.” Many clients feel change after the first session; lasting correction typically takes a short series, and Marjorie will give you an honest read after your assessment.
What happens at the first appointment?
A thorough intake before anything else: your surgical and injury history, movement assessment, and an in-depth conversation about what you’ve already tried. Treatment begins only once she understands the whole picture — and you’ll leave with take-home stretches, not just table time.
Do you take insurance?
Sessions are private-pay rather than billed through insurance. This is deliberate: it keeps appointments unhurried, one-on-one, and guided by what your body needs rather than what a plan authorizes. Office sessions run $90–$260 depending on length, with package pricing available. A superbill is provided after each session, which you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
What towns do you serve?
The practice is located in Wantagh, in central Nassau County. Clients come from throughout Long Island — Seaford, Massapequa, Bellmore, Merrick, Levittown, and across Nassau and Suffolk — as well as Queens and New York City. Marjorie was rated the best massage therapist in Wantagh by Business Rate in 2024.
How is this different from a massage chain or stretch studio?
National chains and membership studios typically staff rotating therapists, many newly licensed, working back-to-back appointments. Marjorie’s practice is the opposite model: one clinician, 29 years of medical massage training, no membership, and no overlapping clients. As she puts it: ‘I’m a medical professional — I know the body, anatomy, physiology, and thirty years of injuries. I explain how you ended up this way, and we correct the body so you don’t end up back there.’
Is it worth traveling from NYC or Queens?
Yes — because scar tissue work at this level is hard to find, clients regularly travel from Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, particularly for post-surgical and complex scar cases. Wantagh is reachable by car via the Southern State Parkway or by LIRR on the Babylon branch, with parking available at the office.
