structural alignment
therapy to heal and
empower your body
Welcome. If you're here, it might be because you struggle with low back pain, a lingering injury, an acute issue from a car accident, or an ache or pain somewhere that doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon. Whatever your age or your lifestyle, most of us can benefit from structural alignment work — and it's especially vital if you deal with anything like the discomforts listed above.
What is structural alignment bodywork? The shortest answer is that it's a kind of massage therapy. It's very focused, usually working on a specific area of the body. The aim is to release and restore our muscles to proper alignment, which affects just about everything else in our body. If a bone or joint is being pulled slightly out of place, over time, it can have a ripple-effect throughout the body, leading to both discomfort and a decrease in function. The repetitive nature of many of our movements — sitting, working a computer, housework, yard-work, and even exercise like running — all add up to a lot of strain if our body is even slightly off-kilter.

more than a massage: the benefits of structural alignment therapy
Feel stronger.
Whatever your level of activity, regular structural work balances the body and empowers it to move more powerfully and efficiently. This is true whether you're a champion trail runner or you simply enjoy working in the garden.
Ease tightness and pain.
Years of repetitive motion add up, and if you throw an injury into the mix, your body might be coping with persistent discomfort. Structural work opens you up, lets you stand tall, and eases the muscular tensions holding you back. It can also prevent future injuries and "tweaks."
Enjoy moving through life.
It's amazing how quality of life goes up as you can move more comfortably. Healing old injuries and lingering discomforts lets us do what we were born to do: spend time doing the things we love and enjoying the people we love too.
“Here is a personal story of how working with Brian helped a Paralympic athlete get into alignment and race her very best.”
“I first came to Brian with low-back pain and hip pain made much worse by running. I couldn’t believe I was a 30 year-old athlete, yet felt twice my age. But Brian took the time to thoughtfully evaluate what was happening structurally and work with me to re-set the muscles that were at the root of my issues. Years later, I still go back in regularly for a tune-up, which keeps me moving comfortably.”
“Here’s the tale of a senior who had a car accident and worked with Brian for ten sessions till her whiplash and back ache were alleviated and she could resume her daily walks comfortably.”
