"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
Forget The Gym. Go To Sleep.
One of the biggest burdens on our overall health and wellbeing is sleep. More than 1/3 of Americans are not getting enough sleep. Lack of sleep leads to a variety of health issues such as anxiety and depression to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) which can all lead to one of the leading epidemics we are…
Life Hack: Holiday Savior (No, not him)
Yes, we all love this time of year. What’s not to love about presents and days off? The rest of the baggage that comes with it. I thought that this month I would offer you some solutions to take some of the stress out of your annual hair pulling that precedes the gift giving. Our…
The Most Practical Ergonomic Solution
One of the many hats I get to wear as the owner of two wellness companies is that of an “expert” in ergonomics; an applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use so that the people and things interact most efficiently and safely (Webster’s Dictionary). This term has been quite the buzz word…
Don’t Let Spasms Cramp Your Workouts

Life Hack: Keep your Pumpkins Fresh
With Halloween quickly approaching and the weather being as unpredictable as New England weather can be, the question on everyone’s mind is; “How do I keep my pumpkins from rotting so quickly?” Ok, perhaps it’s not THE question on everyone’s mind, but you have to admit, it is rather annoying to have rotten pumpkin on…
Don’t Believe Everything You Read (Accept This)
As an evidence based practice, we pride ourselves on delivering upon what is scientifically known to be the most effective use of massage therapy. Nothing more and nothing less. We know for instance, from a collaborative meta-analysis of research on massage therapy for pain conducted by the Samueli Institute that was recently published as a…
Got Pain? Do a Wall Sit!
Pain has been the central point of the work I have always done. Whether I have provided relief with my hands, my taping or even my advice, I have always been fascinated by how we both experience pain and how to best treat those who have it. In the course of my daily readings, I…
Life Hack: The ‘Dutch Reach’ saves Lives
If you haven’t noticed, Boston’s population has increased by over 150,000 in the past couple of weeks. That’s because Boston is home to over 35 colleges and universities. This means that among other things, there will be a lot more bicyclists around the city. If you drive in Boston or in any populated area for…
These are the Days of 10,000 Maniac’s
No, not Natalie Merchant’s 10,000 Maniacs. We mean the Japanese version. Everywhere you look these days, we are being told to ‘get your steps’ or ‘I need to get my step up’. Now, I’m the first to preach that as a society who is dealing with pain and obesity epidemics, we all need to move…
No More Back Pain; Easy as 1-2-3
It’s no revelation that the number one complaint we see in our clinic is back pain. Over 85% of us will experience some ‘down time’ with an episode of back pain in our lifetimes. One of the biggest misconceptions is that people believe, perhaps by the previous statistic, that our backs (a.k.a. spines) are brittle.…
