massage?

[alonewiththemoon]

Can anybody recommend a massage person (or perhaps is a massage person currently practicing :) in the T-accessible bits of Boston, preferably in the Arlington/Cambridge/Somerville area?  I have done wonders for myself this week with hot baths and restorative yoga but I think I really deserve/need a massage.  Female masseuse much preferred, I'm old fashioned that way.  I'm also more interested in somebody with dancer/athlete experience.  Thanks!

smapple is an old friend of mine that is currently working in the Somerville/Cambridge area (not sure exactly).

I haven't been to her myself, but others have said she's really good.

You can email her at dr.massageopus@gmail.com

Seconding smapple. Her office is right next to the Neighborhood, in the Acupuncture Office. :)

I can vouch for her. I just went.

Also she does deep tissue and likes to work on sports massage type stuff -- good for dancers.

sounds like we have a winner! She's performed at Oddville, right? I'm thinking of the right person?

Yep!

ceelove is one of the best massage therapists I've ever had work on me. Her time is a bit more limited as she's got an active toddler to worry about, but she's worth asking after. Tell her I sent you. If she's not available, I can also send you in the direction of my friend chaiya. She's likewise an excellent massage therapist. Both individuals are local to the Cambridge/Somerville area. The Porter Square/Davis Square area, to be more specfic.

Seconding ceelove--very knowledgable about different kinds of massage.

if you were willing to come into medford sq (there should be a bus from arlington and also from davis sq that stops right outside our office), we have two excellent massage therapists who as an added bonus are both also PTs and therefore can prescribe exercises that aren't likely to hurt you.

alternatively, my accupuncturist also does massage. interested?
