Members Recovery Lounge

At The Boston Bodyworker, we are constantly motivated to honor our mission to help you “Feel Better”. Coming this April, we are delighted to unveil our newest membership advantage; our Recovery Lounge.

Members will enjoy a dedicated space….exclusive access to a private/semi-private room that has been transformed into a place for you to arrive early or remain after your visit with us or perhaps on another day when you just need to get out of the office. The room can provide multiple uses for our members.

Members can choose to reserve the room for private use for 30 minutes (additional fee applies) or they may enjoy the room in a semi-private manner when it is otherwise available. The room offers multiple recovery benefits for members to choose from.

Here are just a few:

• Relax on a heated treatment table and take advantage of a few of our self-care therapy tools such as our neck hammock, still point inducer or therapy balls
• Lean back in a zero-gravity chair and slip on our Air Relax Leg Compression sleeves
• Roll out an exercise mat and unwind by doing some of those recommended stretches, observing your form in front of our 8×5 mirror
• Improve your mobility, strength and flexibility on our Stall Bars
• Slip on some Bose wireless headphone and relax to your favorite music
• Sip some tea and unwind as you return a few emails or check the latest headlines using our free Wi-Fi

The room will also serve as a place for our members to meet with other wellness professionals around Boston. We will be inviting in professionals such as nutritionists, Chiropractors, Life-Coaches and more to the space so that you may discuss how they may help you with any other wellness goals you should have. Your recommendations are always welcomed.

An Alternative Approach to Stretching

Clinicians, athletes and rehabilitation specialists advocate stretching as a means for injury prevention and treatment.

Ganglion Cysts

The highly refined palpation skills of massage practitioners are such that we often identify tissue abnormalities before the client is aware of them. An indication that we should refer a patient for further evaluation is when we identify something we aren’t sure of but know shouldn’t normally be there. One such example may occur with…

What Is the “End Feel”?

Some of the most valuable assessment information is derived from relatively simple procedures such as passive range-of-motion tests. While many massage practitioners have been exposed to the fundamental concepts of active and passive range-of-motion testing, most have not learned how to use this information effectively in a clinical environment. In this article, we will focus…

How Accurate Is That Test?

Physical assessment is considered one of the most accurate ways to assess function of the locomotor tissues of the body.
