Wow wow wow—I couldn’t be happier with my experience at the Bucky Body Center I had the most incredible massage with Melissa that released so much tension it was unlike any other massage I’ve had. I also had a coolscupting treatment followed by the compression suit and I left feeling better than ever.

The center is stunning, modern, and luxurious. The nurses and practice staff are incredibly knowledgeable, professional and kind. I love Dr. Bucky’s holistic approach to the treatments and technology in the center, I can’t wait to go back!

There are not enough words to express my gratitude to the team at Bucky Body Center. Kudos to Dr. Bucky for recruiting the best team in the Philadelphia area! I was skeptical of beginning my journey at Bucky Body Center not knowing whether the treatments would be the answer to many years of suffering from chronic lower back/SI joint and hip pain that still lingered post arthroscopic hip labral repair. After years of opting for just another injection, which only masked the pain I was suffering from, and continued build-up of inflammation, I opted to try manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage treatments with Sheila only hoping for the best. Let me just say, I immediately felt the benefits of Sheila’s treatments including reduced inflammation in my hip joint, increased mobility/flexibility throughout my joints and overall wellness through the release of toxins and the “detoxifying” effects that are often the most wanted results of MLD. Sheila is conscious of the time she has with you and ensures 100% of the time is spent making you feel the best version of you. No one treatment with Sheila is the same. We evaluate prior to each session how my body reacted to the previous treatment(s) in conjunction with how my body feels post-everyday activity/training (more to come here!) to game plan on the most effective sequence for that days treatment. Her expertise and precision in this field makes her one of the best!

Bucky Body Center also has one of (what I think) is the best cryotherapy chambers to offer to its clients. When beginning MLD with Sheila I opted to add-on the cryotherapy treatments post-massage, which I believe only intensifies the benefits of MLD and promotes a quicker response to the treatments. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeing Sheila to add cryotherapy to aid in your recovery from post-orthopedic surgeries or injuries.

It only took a few months (which is not long considering the length of time I’ve been dealing with my aches and pains) for me to feel my body was restored and capable of functioning day-to-day with minimal pain. However, Sheila had recommended that in order to take things to the next level and continue my upward recovery trend, I work with Andrew who specializes in functional patterns trainings at Bucky Body Center. From our first session together until now, Andrew continues to amaze me at his in-depth knowledge of how our muscles and joints work in conjunction with one another and also his ability to evaluate the way you move to identify potential issues within our own structures that may be the root of our pain. Andrew’s extensive knowledge on this form of training (which is unlike anything I have done before) guides you through training sessions specific to your body and its needs (and yes, he makes just breathing seem like the hardest thing to do!) to strengthen areas of weakness or those where engagement is non-existent, enabling your body to learn how it “should” move and what that feels like in the act of doing so.

Now several months into functional patterns training with Andrew followed by weekly treatments with Sheila, I wake up most days with very little to no lower back/SI joint/glute/hip pain. This is something that I did not think was feasible after years and years of constant pain. I cannot thank Andrew and Sheila enough for being the “A-team” I needed to revive my body from years of pain and endure the active lifestyle I choose to live pain-free.

I had an amazing massage therapy session with Melissa. She knew how to relieve the tension and knots on my back, neck and shoulders. I also enjoyed the “red light” prior to my massage that helped my body relax, thanks to Majo. This was an incredible experience and a good way to end a long day after work. Thank you so much Melissa and Majo!

Shiela, an LMT, does an amazing lymphatic drainage massage. I’ve been seeing her at least once a month (when I overindulge sometimes 2x) since they’ve opened. She also incorporates small cupping! One of my favorite things about it is her genuine, caring personality. Shiela helps you understand what she’s doing, why and how your body is benefiting from it. I do the “Shape Shifter”, which includes the compression suite for 40 minutes directly after the massage.

Highly recommenced, along with the cryo therapy and red light bed!

I had heard great things about Bucky’s Body Center and had been wanting to try the cryotherapy treatment. However I was a little nervous about it! Luckily, the spa technician Majo stepped in and made me feel incredibly comfortable through the entire process, checking in with me throughout. She was a pleasure to spend time with and put me totally at ease. I’d recommend Bucky’s Body Center to anyone looking for a comfortable experience with lovely staff—and the cryotherapy—definitely worth the freezing temps. It was a thrill.

I had the opportunity to attend a special wellness event at Bucky Body Center and experience a massage with Melissa Gasson. She is a licensed massage therapist and entrepreneur who is the founder of Healed NYC. Her talents have earned her a world-class slew of clients that include professional athletes and celebrities. With this exclusivity in mind, it’s no wonder that Bucky Body Center would opt to partner with her to provide amazing relief and relaxation bodywork to their clients!

This was my first experience with the Bucky Body Center, but it will definitely not be my last! The facility is easy to find and designed beautifully. It has an open and airy type of environment, which is immediately both soothing and energizing! My primary contact to set this appointment was Majo Monroy, who is the Center Coordinator. She quite literally redefines customer service! She is warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, efficient, and a wonderful advocate for what the center can do to help you in your wellness journey. There were additional practitioners and staff there on the day of my appointment who were equally friendly and engaging!

I would recommend the BBC to anyone who is interested in exploring their options in the wellness world. The possibilities seem endless here!

SIMPLY AMAZING RESULTS! I have been working with Sheila at the Bucky Body Center for the past 6 months to help address limited mobility in my knees due to arthritis. Sheila’s approach of combining manual lymphatic drainage massage, structural techniques, cupping, and red lightstim therapy has produced incredible results! The constant aching has disappeared, my range of motion has improved, stairs are no longer a challenge and the swelling in my knees is gone. Shelia is giving me a level of relief that even my doctors could not achieve. I HIGHLY recommend Sheila!

Going into my procedure, I was concerned about undergoing a surgery while awake, even a minimally invasive one; those concerns turned out to be unfounded. The Body Center did a great job getting pre-op medications to me by mail and called many times before the day of the procedure to answer my questions and ensure I was ready to move forward. On the day of my surgery the care and facility were both phenomenal. The procedure itself ended up being a total non-event: it was quickly performed by friendly professionals with a level of discomfort that was comparable to a stubbed toe. The office called me the next day to check on my recovery and, even though I reported no complications, the surgeon followed up not long after for a second check in. I was back to work minutes after the procedure ended (literally, not figuratively) and am glad that I didn’t have to undergo the disruption and risk of anesthesia. And, maybe most importantly, I’m pleased with the results, which have exceeded my expectations. All in all I would strongly recommend the Body Center to those considering procedures it offers.

The ENTIRE experience with Dr. Bucky and his staff has been above and beyond my expectations which were already very high as he is regarded as one of the best plastic surgeons in the country. I had lots of questions at each stage of the process and every person I came across spent all of the time I needed. I never felt rushed or like “just another client” coming through the door. Dr. Bucky, his staff, and the surgical team were able to make the experience as easy and seamless as possible. Coordinating with Erin couldn’t have been simpler. Katie is a phenomenal nurse who always puts me at ease. Kate was so much fun and comfortable to be with the first night I stayed at the Ritz and Sheila performed fantastic post lymphatic massages.

Best of all, I love the result! I now look as young and vibrant as I feel inside. I look natural, happy and rested.

Thanks!!!

My experience here was great. I got the Miradry procedure done with Luke and I am sooo satisfied with the results. I had hyperhydrosis for years and this procedure was life changing. I now have little to no sweat and I don’t have to wear deodorant at all. Its been a little over 3 weeks since I had the procedure done and I feel like my underarms are completely healed. The office is beautiful, clean, and in a great location. Luke was amazing. He was very professional and there if I had any questions after the procedure. If I had to do it all over again I would!

I went to Dr. Bucky’s office to get the Miradry treatment. Luke, the RN, was absolutely wonderful and I would choose to do all of my treatments with Luke in the future. Luke made the scheduling process very easy by calling me directly, he answered all of my questions patiently and was a joy to sit with for the 1.5 hour treatment. Dr. Bucky’s team definitely knows how to take care of their patients and Luke’s customer service is stellar.

Had a wonderful experience with Luke for my miraDry procedure. It was also so much easier than I had anticipated! The atmosphere was very comforting and Luke was very helpful when providing the after care instructions. Had a great conversation during the procedure that helped distract from the discomfort (which was minimal). Luke is super personable and is so invested in his patients.
