James was a life saver. As a professional dancer who recently moved to the city, I had been looking for someone to add to my team of specialists to keep my body in a good place. Every time I have called him with a crisis physically he has done his best to fit me in the day I call, and prioritizes my physical health. Not only is James dependable, he also works magic. I have come to him with several issues, and each time he has ensured I am walking out of the room feeling better. I have come to him with back issues, knee issues, pulled hamstrings, etc.. As a dancer, I am very particular with whom I work with and James is my go-to here in New York for sure!
James was fantastic! I recently had a baby and have had issues with my back and hips. James was able to mix traditional massage techniques as well as stretching and pressure points. I will be going back for sure! He was able to make me feel comfortable and relaxed as he worked though my body. Great energy and a great soul!
James has completely changed how I'm able to move around in the world and what I'm able to do. His knowledge of the body and injuries is way beyond anyone I've dealt with in 15 years of trying to recover form a serous accident. I cannot recommend him enough. Best money I've spent on my health and well-being by far!!
This was truly a healing experience! I've been dealing with some on-going hand/elbow and leg pain and have been searching for ways to understand the issues better as I find ways that help me heal. From the beginning, James took the time to understand exactly what was going on, gave explanations as to why it could be happening and then provided and taught me long term relief techniques and exercises to continue to work on. And, after 1 session, I'm already noticing improvements. Looking forward to going back!
James is an excellent massage therapist. But he is much more than that. He is also an excellent listener, he is completely present and he is deeply knowledgeable and wise about all dimensions of wellness. He has helped me both with knee pain and with anxiety. I always leave with my pain eased and a deep sense of calm, as well as with ideas and tools for increasing wellness.
James is a highly intuitive and gifted healer. I was happy to find that our session was just as much about the mind-body connection and the intricacies of how we hold and release emotions and patterns, as it was about relieving stress and pain. Highly recommended!

I had a recovery plan. After the plan fell apart a good friend recommended James. I'm recovering from skin removal surgery after a 225lb weight loss. I have 70 inches of scarring on my 5' tall self. Every week I have unique experiences with my body. James has become a navigator as I pilot my recovery journey. He creates an ideal environment for healing. He listens, really listens to your words and your body. His voice is calming, his energy is comforting, and his heart is genuine.
My treatment plan includes yoga, massage, myofascial release, skin rolling and pain management. James has magic hands and is a gifted healer. He understands the relationship between body, mind and spirit. He is passionate about healing and living pain free. James is an amazing teacher. He is generous with knowledge and communicating his experiences. I can assist in my recovery in total confidence because of his guidance. No matter how intense my session is I leave feeling relaxed and satisfied. Peace of mind is priceless and having James as part of my recovery plan provides a stress free road ahead. I'm forever grateful.

There are times in life when people arrive at just the right moment. James is one of those people. I was suffering from a 'frozen shoulder' for over a month that was caused by anxiety, stress, and over-work. The pain severely restricted my movement and further deepened my depression. I found James after carefully researching options in New York that most resembled Zentherapy, a mixed healing practice that I spent the last ten years following back in the Bay Area. It was very clear from the get-go that time with James was not going to be like any other body work session. Before he even worked on me, we spent time talking about my condition, pain, challenges, and what I hoped to get out of my sessions. It was, during that first conversation, that I realized what a strong healing and calming presence James has. At that moment, I was so relieved to have found someone that I could share my story with and know that he only has my well-being at heart. He crafted a program for me that has served as the catalyst in my effort to re-learn a balance between mind, body, and spirit. I've had numerous sessions with James and his trigger point technique is excellent. With his help, I'm also learning what it's like to open my energy pathways and in particular release long-held pain through his vocalized sound therapy technique. I went in to have a 'frozen shoulder' fixed and received so much more in return. I highly recommend James for anyone who understands that true holistic healing requires an approach that only experience and wisdom can bring.

The hands of a poet, the mind of a healer.
I have sought the services of James for more than 9 years. Simply put, he is the best massage therapist I have ever met. I have only praise for his professionalism, his kindness in assessing the work to be done, his attentive touch, his overall manner during our sessions. It may be that James is also an accomplished musician: all I can say is that he made music of the knots, the stiffnesses, the tiredness on my bones. I wholeheartedly recommend James; he is worth every penny and your body will thank you for days afterward.
I have worked with James for almost ten years. He is a massage therapist with a difference. He creates an extremely safe space, and approaches the body with reverence and sensitivity, which allows for deep relaxation. I have had very different experiences over the years, sometimes deep physical rest, and at other times, surprising to me, profound emotional letting go. James deals with whatever arises, and he is genuinely keen to be of service to you as a client. I am a psychiatrist and have referred clients to him to help with healing touch for people who carry trauma in their body memory. He is highly skilled and also intuitive. I love when he ends the massage with a reiki session, which I feel so strongly when he does it, I can literally feel the cells of my body calming down. It's a tremendous gift of self care, to see James for a massage.
My experience has been one of safety and comfort. I've been able to express my fears and hopes in such a non-judgmental environment. I've struggled with some serious issues and James has created a space where I'm able to express myself. The environment is safe and the experience has been educational, eye-opening, and healing.
I first went to James 4 years ago feeling weak and tight. After my first session with him I could walk 10 times better. I felt lighter and extreme relief. He activated muscles I didn't even know I had. James Ruff is Wonderful! He is extremely knowledgeable of the physiology and anatomy of the body. He helps bring to light problems with your body that may elude you, helping you to better correct them more efficiently. He is kind and sensitive and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He's helped me to open up and release my abundance of pain physically and emotionally. For bodywork, he is my Go-to-guy. James is a true healer and I am so very grateful for his service.
In just four visits, James has put me on the road to healing a bad hamstring that others haven't been able to figure out. He listens and then customizes a treatment program to fit an individuals specific needs. And he seeks to leave you with self healing techniques so that you can speed the healing in between appointments. I'm thankful for having found James and you will be too!
