I am opening an office in Worcester! The new space is in 100 Grove Street, Suite 109. This is a cool old mill building. There is gated parking, you will be sent a code for the gate when you book. I am now accepting bookings for January! I will still have some hours in Westborough, but am hoping to transition to more in Worcester and less there. The reason for this move is to cut my hour long drive in half.

A great article on using a lacrosse ball for self myofascial release. You can put it in a baggie in the freezer for a bit and then roll your feet, great for plantar fasciitis.

For an effective way to experience relief, try using a lacrosse ball. This simple, lightweight ball can be stashed in your purse, desk drawer, anywhere!

A wonderful article about the modality that is at the heart of my practice.

There are many forms of bodywork. What is SMRT all about?

Tis the season.... 🤧🤕🤒🤢😷

Though you may think a message sounds great if you are feeling under the weather..
It is the last thing you should do to your body that is already trying to fight the good fight!
It will accelerate the sickness through your system and the result is you feeling like you got hit by a freight train 👎👎

Not to mention you put me at risk to get sick.
I unfortunately do not get paid sick time.

I go to great lengths year round to keep my immune system strong.

So please 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Cancel if you are feeling at all sick!!
I will happily reschedule your appointment 💜

These straps are so great I actually sell them in my office (I don't sell much). But, they're currently on sale directly at OPTP for less than I can sell them, only $10.95. The stretches in the booklet that comes with it are EXCELLENT, they involve PNF like the assisted stretching I do. I highly recommend it. The sale ends tonight at midnight.

Purchase Stretch Out Strap with Booklet: Perform deep solo stretches for greater flexibility with Stretch Out Strap. Includes exercise booklet.

In the past century, many Americans have lost the ability to sit in a way that doesn't strain their backs. Specialists say we could take a lesson from excellent sitters from other cultures.
