Clinical massage therapy and postural correction for musculoskeletal pain, restriction, and limited range of motion.*
About
Caitlin has been a Licensed Massage Therapist for 20 years. Trained at The Swedish Institute, College of Health Sciences, a highly regarded massage therapy school in New York City, she was given a strong foundation in orthopedic assessments and clinical reasoning skills from the get-go! She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from New York University, where she was a dance major and studied both kinesiology and Pilates as part of her curriculum. Kathy Grant, one of Joseph Pilates’ only two protégés, was her first Pilates teacher!
How bodies move and function is a lifelong passion of hers, and she takes pride in helping others understand their own anatomy and biomechanics. A problem solver to the core, she digs deep (figuratively and literally if needed!) to discover the source of your pain and limited range of motion.
Services
Rather than chasing symptoms, each session begins by assessing your posture, movement, and range of motion to find where the problem actually starts, which is often somewhere other than where you feel it. Hands-on work then targets the muscles, fascia, and connective tissue involved, aiming to restore balance and lasting, pain-free movement.
Pain scale
During a session I check in using a 1–10 pain scale. Bodywork happens between 4 and 7: intense enough to create change, never so much that your body braces against it. Slide through the scale to see what each number feels like.
Your visit
Call, text, or email with a couple of times that work. New clients, please fill out the Client Intake Form before your first visit.
A quick look at your intake form and a conversation about what's bothering you, any injuries or medications, and what you'd like to get out of the session.
You undress to your comfort level and stay covered by a sheet and blanket the whole time. Only the area being worked on is uncovered.
Water, a few minutes to sit up slowly, and one or two stretches to take home. Mild soreness for a day after deep work is normal.
New clients
Please download and fill out the intake form before your first visit, then bring it with you. It takes about 10 minutes and lets us spend your appointment on the table instead of on paperwork.
Please give at least 24 hours' notice. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged 50% of the session fee. Illness is always an exception; please don't come in sick.
Sessions end on time so the next client isn't kept waiting. If you're running late, your session will be shortened and billed at the full rate.
Card and cash accepted. Receipts with treatment codes are available on request for reimbursement.
Available for any service or dollar amount, and valid for one year.
No. Undress only to the level you're comfortable with. Many people keep underwear on. You'll be draped the entire session, and I'll work around clothing if you prefer.
Deep work can be intense, but it should feel like a "good" ache you can breathe through. If you're tensing up or holding your breath, it's too much. Tell me and I'll ease off.
Please reschedule if you have a fever, contagious illness, or a recent injury that hasn't been looked at. If you have a blood clotting condition, recent surgery, or are in your first trimester, check with your doctor first and let me know when booking.
I don't bill insurance directly, but I can provide an itemized receipt if your plan reimburses massage with a prescription.
