MEET DOUGLAS O'CONNELL, LMT — IN-HOME MASSAGE THERAPIST SERVING WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY

I'm a NYS Licensed Massage Therapist with 27 years of experience and more than 25,000 sessions performed at top spas, country clubs, gyms, and medical offices throughout Westchester County and Manhattan, and the Hamptons.

I know what great bodywork looks like — and I know how rarely Westchester residents actually get enough of it.

WHY MOST WESTCHESTER RESIDENTS DON'T GET ENOUGH MASSAGE

Every time I start working with a new client, I ask the same question: "How often do you get massage?"

After thousands of conversations across Westchester County — at country clubs, spas, gyms, and PT offices — the answer is almost always the same: not enough.

The follow-up question is just as predictable: "Why not?"

It always comes down to two things: time and money.

That's the moment the light bulb went on for me.

Massage therapy isn't a luxury to be enjoyed once or twice a year. It should be part of your regular health routine — alongside diet and exercise. And I made it my mission to remove every barrier standing between Westchester residents and the bodywork they need.

A LIFELONG ATHLETE WHO UNDERSTANDS YOUR BODY

I've been an athlete my entire life. As an avid USTA 4.0–4.5 tennis player, pickleball enthusiast, platform tennis player, and golfer — I understand firsthand what chronic tightness, repetitive strain, and sports injuries feel like.

That experience shapes every session I do. I don't just treat muscles — I understand how athletes move, what causes their specific patterns of tension, and what it takes to get them back to doing what they love.

I've spent 27 years working in Westchester's top wellness facilities — and in the Hamptons. I bring that same level of expertise directly to your door.

My Approach: Lengthen, Release, and Lock It In

My massage methodology is called Lengthen, Release, and Lock It In. I lengthen and release tight, restricted muscles, then work to separate each individual muscle from the tissue around it so it can move freely on its own — not bound up with the muscles next to it. The goal isn't just "less tight," it's fully independent, functional movement.

Any discomfort you feel during a session is doing something — it's a muscle actually releasing and letting go, not pain just for the sake of pain. You should leave every session feeling looser and more relaxed, not sore.

This approach comes from 27 years of experience and more than 25,000 massage sessions, including work at Shou Sugi Ban House, Gurney's Montauk, Moss, Oasis Day Spa, Tranquility Spa, Westchester Country Club, and Willow Ridge Country Club. I bring that same technique directly to your home.
