Bodywork/Massage

Our human bodies need and deserve maintenance. Whether due to over-use, under-use or mis-use, muscles can develop knots (trigger points) which compress joints and create patterns of restriction. Soon, pain appears followed by more tension. Bodywork is essential to heal injuries, improve mobility, reduce inflammation, and unwind the broad effects of stress on the nervous system. An upward spiral! 

 

Bodywork with Carolyn is integrated into Orthopedic Acupuncture sessions. Over 25 years, she has honed her manual therapy approach. The current iteration includes myofascial release, scar tissue remediation, nerve entrapment & intra-oral work, in addition to subtle osteopathic-inspired strategies which gently signal the body's innate compass towards plasticity and homeostasis.   

​

Massage Therapy with Raphael is a dance of total body/mind/spirit relaxation and healing. Raphael has received rave reviews since he joined the practice, with appreciation for his blend of intuition and skilled techniques. His sessions help relieve chronic muscle tightness, address issues related to hip pain, shoulder pain, and plantar fasciitis, plus, he excels at balancing deep pressure with soothing Esalen-style techniques.​

TESTIMONIALS

Prior to seeing Carolyn for acupuncture, I had been in severe left shoulder pain due to a shoulder fracture. After only 3 acupuncture treatments I was able to eliminate a prescribed strong narcotic for pain relief. I continue to see Carolyn for weekly acupuncture treatments and occasional bodywork. There are no words that I can think of to describe the amazing healing and relief I have felt each time I have had a treatment by Carolyn. She is one of those healing practitioners that are the "Real Deal."
