CDF Therapeutic Bodywork

I treat clients using a mixture of modalities studied and developed since I began my practice in early 2003. My bodywork education began at the MUSCULAR THERAPY INSTITUTE in Cambridge, Mass., where I learned the Benjamin System of Muscular Therapy - a combination of SWEDISH, DEEP, and SPORTS techniques aimed at evaluating and undoing dysfunctions in the body.

I've had chronic shoulder pain for years, and have tried all sorts of remedies. Within a few minutes after our first session, I suddenly seemed to have more space in my shoulder than I had had in years. Special attention is paid to the careful positioning of the mother and the body parts that are taxed most by a pregnancy.

Reservations are still made by phone or email, but the easiest and quickest method is our ONLINE BOOKING SERVICE. Clients changing or cancelling appointments must give at least 12 hours notice or will be charged the full price of the missed session.* Craig is clearly skilled and was able to employ some serious (and I mean SERIOUS) deep tissue massage to me and a not-so-deep massage to my other half. On top of a fantastic massage, Craig is a nice guy who we felt completely comfortable with.

Your therapist will introduce him/herself and review your information with you-namely what brings you in and what you hope to accomplish with the massage. You can specify where you would like to focus (shoulders, calves, neck) if any, and explain a little more about your tension/pain patterns. Your therapist will show you the treatment room and leave you to get comfortable on the massage table.

I'm a dancer and a yoga instructor. My body does a lot of work, so it needs a lot of work. I like to send people to Craig because he is so versatile in his ability to go really intense or really gently--to be restful or invigorating. His knowledge of the body, the anatomy, is so thorough. It's awesome work.
