Wow.. 60 days into Shelter In Place. It's a health marathon for sure, but we're doin' it! I know we are because we are getting those calls--- "My mousing hand is numb", "my migraine has lasted for four days", "I can't play airplane with my 2 year old because my back is spasming."

We are living with Lysol, being super-careful, checking to see that staff and clients are symptom free and safe to work on.

AND we are taking appointments. Chiropractic treatments? YES! New chiropractic clients? YES! Soft - tissue work? yeeeessssss..... (that is a cautious "yes" providing Dr. K can establish a clinical need for care and on a limited basis.)

We are here to help. Call or text: 773-529-0200

Where is my smiley face mug? I'm going to put some water in it right now.

A new poll shows the more water you drink, the happier you feel—and those who felt they “didn't drink enough water” more commonly reported feeling unhappy.

We can get behind this laughter as part of good medicine thing. Going to review my favorite funny movies and choose one this weekend! Hmmm.... What About Bob?, Fletch, The Great Outdoors, The Pink Panther Strikes Again and Ice Age come to mind.

Leigh and Indigo and Violet Studio are great supporters of the Bodylux RX. And fun. They offer lots of good for you, creative get-together and event options. This one is healthy and happy and helpful!

Feeling like this summer has been a little tooooooo fun? Fair food, lots of travel, on the run.... I am feeling off my health game. This is a great suggestion from my friend Melissa Engle, Arbonne Independent Consultant.

I am going to whip up batch to start my week. Right after I row on my new old Concept 2 rowing machine that I just found/bought this weekend.

It's kind of like Back To Health School prep....

If I don’t have healthy snacks on hand, I will always eat crap. I made these with (and for) Josie over the weekend, but I’ve been eating them more than her! These “monster” muffins as she likes to call them, are really spinach & banana muffins. All mixed in the food processor for easy clean up! 🍌 what’s your favorite healthy snack? .

Our Story

The Bodylux Rx team specializes in clinical massage therapy, chiropractic care and therapeutic bodywork for everyone from elite athletes and difficult injury cases to those just battling today's tough-on-us lifestyles. Kathleen Morris, D.C. is an established chiropractor specializing in the Activator Methods technique (low force adjusting.) Our 11 clinical massage therapists are all experienced practitioners who have trained in special techniques. We offer services ranging from very Eastern influenced therapy like Asian Restorative Bodywork, Ahiatsu, Shiatsu and Reiki and Reflexology to Western/physical therapy inspired bodywork. We are also highly educational and look forward to offering instructional classes and workshops in 2019.

Let us introduce you to our staff:

Dr. K has been a practicing chiropractor since 1993. A graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, she specializes in low force adjusting styles. She got into chiropractic work after considering physical therapy and athletic training for its "back to basics" approach to the human body. Or as she says, "it was too darn logical for the Capricorn in me to pass up." Services: Chiropractic-- treatment and evaluation Specialities: Advanced Activator Methods, Thompson Drop technique, Logan Basic. Interests: functional fitness, kettlebell training, plants (have you seen her office?), board games

Ewa sets the standard for the Bodylux RX. Delivering exceptional massage for over 15 years, Ewa is one of our "go-to" therapists.

She is one of our favorites for prenatal work, but specializes in reflexology and muscle release technique as well. Services: deep soft tissue massage, prenatal massage, reflexology. Specialities: prenatal, reflexology, muscle release technique and most recently-- cupping. Interests: Ewa is Polish-speaking and loves to ski and watching her daughter become a ballet dancer.

Ula (Ursula)-- pint-sized yet powerful, she is a rock and a pillar for us. One of our favorites for pre-natal work, she also specializes in reflexology and muscle release technique. She is a 15 year veteran of massage work and has a degree in European physical therapy on top of it. Don't let her petiteness fool you-- she is amazingly strong. Services: prenatal massage, deep tissue therapy, reflexology, muscle release therapy. Specialities: prenatal massage, deep tissue massage, reflexology, muscle release technique. Interests: She's got a really green thumb. And she plays tennis.

Tony is a game changer. Potentially the deepest of our therapists, we have never tested him. He is the most specialized on our team-- being one of about 20 in the US professed in his technique. He does a type of Asian Restorative Bodywork called Danzan Ryu. A blend of techniques from Hawaii and Japan, it combines deep work with meridian work (think acupuncture.) His degree is a four year one and sits under the Traditional Chinese Medicine umbrella. Services: Asian Restorative Bodywork, deep tissue massage. Specialities: Danzan Ryu.

Jenny is a gentle giant. Her clinical massage work is comfy and effective. She does CUPPING for the RX. Bragging a bit--Jenny is one the most powerful Reiki therapists we have ever worked with. The combination of Shiatsu and Reiki should be patented. She has added cranio-sacral work to her list of possibilities as well. Great stuff. If anyone mentions being stressed out, we think of Jenny. She is fantastic for anyone in the performance industry. Services: cupping and moxa, clinical massage, relaxation massage, prenatal massage, cranio-sacral therapy, reiki. Specialties: cupping, reiki, cranio-sacral therapy. Interests: she likes rock stars and relaxing in the sun.

Jacqulyn. Where to begin? Her resume is about 3 pages long. She is definitely deep in pressure. She is our first choice for postural stuff. She is also a doula-- so a great option for prenatal care.

Kinesio-taping is helpful for decompression, pain relief, circulation and muscle support. Services: deep soft tissue massage, prenatal massage. Specialities: Kinesio-taping, weightlifters and cross-fit athletes. Interests: Olympic weightlifting and Crossfit.

Erich has a knack for combining deep soft tissue work in a calming, relaxing way. However, his Ashiatsu (bars overhead/barefoot) work is really fun. His leg series is probably the best on our team. As a client, you can handle more depth with the broad contact of his foot. Services: deep soft tissue massage, Ashiatsu, prenatal massage. Specialities: Ashiatsu.
