David Weintraub

David Weintraub, LMT is the founder of Bodyworks DW Advanced Massage Therapy, a leading medical massage practice with two New York City locations. With over 15 years of experience, he specializes in pain management, post-surgical recovery, and stress reduction.

Known for a “comfortably uncomfortable” deep-tissue approach, David focuses on results-oriented care that goes beyond relaxation. His philosophy: massage should not only feel good, but also create lasting improvements in mobility, function, and quality of life.

Beyond the treatment room, David is a writer and educator. He teaches continuing education courses for licensed massage therapists nationwide, emphasizing practical, hands-on myofascial release techniques. His bylines and expert quotes appear in Massage Magazine, where he covers clinical insights and business strategies for therapists.

David also hosts The Challenge of Being You, a podcast exploring how massage and other bodywork approaches can help people live more comfortably. On YouTube, his channel shares educational content for both clients seeking pain relief and therapists looking to expand their skills.

Reporters frequently turn to David for insight on:

• Workplace stress and posture-related pain (“tech neck”).
• Chronic pain management without medication.
• Sports recovery and injury prevention for athletes of all levels.
• Post-surgical rehabilitation and the role of massage alongside physical therapy.
• The connection between stress, mental health, and therapeutic touch.

David trained at the Finger Lakes School of Massage and has built Bodyworks DW into one of NYC’s most respected massage therapy studios. Whether with clients, students, or the media, his mission is to bring clarity and credibility to massage therapy — and to show how structured touch can improve daily life.
