The Buzz

"This place is legit, I've only ever had AMAZING massages here. I'm a runner and consistently have tight muscles in my legs from high mileage so I use Boston Bodyworker as maintenance to prevent injury by getting monthly massages. I like deep tissue massage because I think it's most effective, so this place is perfect for me. It's obvious all the staff have a deep understanding of how muscles function because they always find the tight muscles and work them out, and even use active release. So I feel like I'm getting a massage and PT session. Love it."-Sarah

Tips from the Table

Without fail, every marathon season, I am asked by my patients, what kind of advice I would offer up to them as they prepare to run the Boston marathon.  I first admit that I have never (nor will ever) run a marathon, but given my unique insight of spending 1000’s of hours alone in a…
