Essential Therapies

Essential Therapies Essential Therapies is a holistic physical therapy and wellness practice specializing in John F. Barnes My work is holistic.

Barnes Myofascial Release Approach, yoga, essential oils and total body wellness owned and operated by Cindy Hodgson, MS, PT, PhD. With over two decades of extensive training and experience, I bring compassionate care to every patient I treat. My goal is to relieve pain and restore ease and function to those seeking healing that traditional medicine has been unable to provide. I am a physical ther

apist extensively trained in the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach (JFBMFR), and hold graduate degrees in exercise physiology and biomechanics. I initially became intrigued by the power of MFR during my student internship when a simple cross-hand technique on a patient’s chest eliminated months of unabating pain. This revelation led me to seek my own healing through these methods. I have a long and successful track record of treating patients from all walks of life and in a myriad of settings including my own clinic. I have an expertise in women’s health after having trained and worked exclusively with women seeking help with fertility, pain and bladder issues. I have successfully treated TMJ, abdominal adhesions (scarring), headaches, postural dysfunction as well as many other conditions. I am interested in empowering you through learning self-care techniques that will enhance and solidify the work we do together. I enjoy teaching both patients and fellow therapists, and continue to explore the life-long benefits to be gained from fitness, nutrition, and yoga. I look forward to helping you advance your goal toward a pain free and healthy life.
