Massage therapist in Chelsea experienced with myofascial massage and trigger points
- Licensed in both massage and acupuncture and certified in myofacial release and hypnosis, I have over forty years experience. In 90 minute sessions ($155 ) both massage and acupuncture are utilized, with most of the time spent on massage. Currently focusing on trigger points, my massage style integrates myofascial work, Shiatsu, and Swedish massage with the precision and energetic awareness of acupuncture. I can give a very strong massage. People feel comfortable with me because my interpersonal style is very casual, but professional. My practice has included famous authors, Tony, Emmy, and Oscar Award winning artists, professional athletes, scores of dancers, and hundreds of stressed out New Yorkers in pain.
- Currently my clinical focus is on trigger points, which cause seventy-five percent of all orthopedic pain, and on utilizing modern techniques to de-activate trigger points. I'm developing new protocols, which integrate ancient Chinese acupuncture and neuromuscular massage to treat past insults (physical, mental traumas) that are imprinted in the myofascial/nervous system, causing patterns of pain.
Massage in Old Chelsea
Jeff graduated from the Swedish Institute in 1981 and Swedish massage has always been the basis of his technique. He went on to study Shiatsu with the famous Eizo Ninomaya in 1983 who taught him to take Chinese pulses and he’s taken the pulses before every session ever since. He attended Tri-State College of Acupuncture and received his acupuncture license in 1986. At TriState he studied with many famous teachers including Kiko Matsumoto, J. R. Worsely, Nguyen VanNghi, Yves Requena and so his style is eclectic, incorporating techniques from Japanese, Chinese, and Five–element styles. In recent years he studied with Koei Kuwahara, learning techniques of acupuncture without needles and refining his sensitivity to energy and with Richard Tan. Jeff has also studied nutrition at Hunter College and herbs with Ted Kaptchuck. Most recently he was certified in Myofascial Techniques with Carrie Taylor and was Certified in Hypnosis, studying with Geozuwa Cuantum.
