Steve Carter has changed my life! I had an appointment for a cranial-sacral therapy about 3 weeks…read moreago, and I am still feeling the positive effects of the treatment today. His attentiveness to my body's movements helped to provide a comfortable atmosphere, even when things were shifting at an alarming rate within me. I had let go of so much physical tension and so much past internal trauma that I'm honestly baffled by the results! I can't wait to schedule another treatment! Thanks so much Steve!

I went to Steve for incredible TMJ-related pain, frequent headaches/migraines and incredibly…read morepainful daily neck and shoulder pain. For at least 10 years, I've suffered the physical effects of daytime and nighttime jaw clenching. For several years, I've been experiencing regular 24 hour/day migraines for several days at a time. My headaches, neck and shoulder pain were interfering with my ability to sleep for more than a few hours each night. After the first therapy session, my pain level went from a 10 down to a 2 (on a scale in 1-10). During the 3 weeks following that session, I experienced 2 headaches that each lasted for part of a day and were treatable with ibuprofen. My jaw felt relaxed in a way that I hadn't felt in more than 10 years - the pain, pressure and tension were relieved. My sleep started to improve after 5 years of poor sleep, as I could suddenly fall asleep again after most wakings. A few weeks later, I returned for another session. I can't rate my pain now because the pain is gone. I haven't had a headache or even felt the suggestion of an oncoming headache. I feel occasional tightness in my neck. No headaches. My jaw continues to feel relaxed. I continue to sleep well and I can't believe I'm writing that! Steve's craniosacral therapy work treats the whole person. His work is intuitive and expert. He cares so greatly that I feel healed and that his work long-lasting. Two sessions with Steve have changed the quality of my life.

He is a member of Cambridge Holistic Practitioners | Holistic Health in Cambridge, MA. If you can get an appointment with him, you will find he is one of the best LMT's you have EVER gone to and can mend injuries without harming the patient days later as I have seen with some "bodywork" practioners. Janus is highly professional, experienced (we are talking decades here), compassionate and full of good energy. He is affordable and has never once behaved unethically over 10 years, and patients and admirers call him "magical". He does practice myofascial release, which is three dimensional pulls to do corrective stretches. However, when people leave there, they generally look relaxed, refreshed and energized with flushed faces and fully repaired.

Well, I just finished my 10(ish) series with Daphne, and I already miss her! I probably would have…read morekept going for forever, but Daphne was honest enough to tell me that she thought I had reached the full benefit of the rolfing series. (However, she did invite me back for tune-ups in the future, whenever I feel like I need them!). Overall, my body feels much more elongated and looser. I actually gained an inch or two in height, and even my mom would be proud of my posture now. My core is straighter and clothes fit better. My shoulders are even, and my right shoulder (chronic bursitis from playing competitive tennis) feels so much better than it used to. I honestly haven't had any issues with my shoulder, IT band, or headaches for awhile, and I'm attributing it to Daphne's mad skills. I just feel... healthy. I highly recommend rolfing and Daphne to just about everyone. After a few sessions, you will feel great!

This review is based on my one experience for accupuncture only…read more So I had my my first experience with accupuncture yesterday! I had never done it before so have nothing to compare it to but think I can be objective about the service at Cambridge Health which was very good. My accunpuncturist (Marilyn) was friendly and thorough in her questions prior to beginning. Marilyn clearly believes in the medicine of accupuncture and helping people which got through some of my cynicism. She made me feel really comfortable and made sure I didn't have any questions or qualms before starting. I actually don't have any physical issues (knock on the old wood) aside from weak ankles from sports but it turns out that it's best to have accupuncture before you have problems as a preventive health measure. The needles did not hurt (a few stung for a second) and I could actually feel stirrings in my ankles from the needles in my scalp! The appointment lasted about 90 minutes but flew by. I am still not 100% sure about the powers of accupuncture but afterwards I had a feeling of euphoria akin to Peter in Office Space after hypnosis! I also had football practice that night and my previously sore left ankle felt pretty good. I know, it could all be in my head, but I really enjoyed the experience and made a second appointment. They are running a special right now- 50% off your first two treatments if you call before 9/15 so give it a try!

When I started I couldn't walk my dog, do errands, garden, or sweep the kitchen. I had to nap twice a day for at least an hour each time. I went to 8 sessions - very pricey - $190/each - and of course I wondered if it was worth it. But the morning after my eighth session, I woke up feeling like myself again. It was amazingly sudden. I was immediately able to do everything I couldn't do before - starting slow, but building up to almost normal. Now, 5 months after I started seeing them, I'm trying very limited aerobic activities like longer walks, and swimming. It's slow progress at this stage, but a big change from doing nothing!!! I don't pretend to understand their theory or method, but it worked for me. The whole staff is kind and caring. Spend the money if you possibly can. Don't waste your time in bed!

I left feeling seen, understood, cared for, and so much better! -He takes the time to get a full picture of what's going on. -He really remembers you and your story when you come back and asks follow ups that make you feel like you have a real partner in what you're facing. -He empathizes with what you're going through and focuses both on immediate relief and a longer term plan to address the root cause of issues. -He uses a combination of techniques - including targeted massage - to get right to the areas of my pain that provide so much relief. I was surprised that a chiropractor did many of the things that Sean can do for me. If you're experiencing any kind of body pain, I recommend giving Sean a try! He has been a GODSEND for me! Just THE BEST!
