Back & Bodywork is a versatile therapeutic massage & bodywork practice created for clients seeking a great health care service at an affordable price. My mission is to make preventative health care mainstream and easily accessible. Since I am dual trained in massage and energy work, I typically incorporate both modalities into each session increasing full spectrum healing. Each session is custom designed around your goals and areas you'd like to work on along with professional recommendations to enforce a strong structure for prevention. My practice is based in New Britain, however I do provide an out-call service within a 20 mile radius. Special accommodation fees do apply for out-call services and are priced accordingly to travel time. I also provide small bridal or special occasion out-call services which can be custom designed to suit your guests. Call or email with any questions you may have.

My practice is intuitive based. I listen to the body's rhythm to move my hands to the areas most needed to be massaged. My technique is somewhat of an ironing out the wrinkles in the bodys muscles. I use Ayurvedic herbal organic oils. With my initial touch I use Cranio Sacral holds to calm the mind and relax the body. The Cranio Sacral techniques work with the facia of the body releasing adhesions. Then I do a deep relaxation massage. When the body is relaxed I will use deep tissue massage if there are tight areas of holding. I use hot stones when someones body is hurting, long term chronic fatique or fibromyalgia. The heat relaxes the muscles and relieves the pain. Over time and lifestyle changes the pain can be decreased significantly. I also do Ayurveda, using meditation, pranyama (deep breathing) techniques. During your treatment you will often be instructed to breathe at the beginning. The remainiing time is a quiet deeply relaxing experience. I also do 6 week 2 hour workshops. At the last session I serve a beautiful bouguet of delicious organic foods.

My mission as a massage therapist is to make every massage count. Whether it is for relaxation or soreness and pain, your massage will be customized to your goal. I integrate several different modalities in my massage treatments such as light or deep pressure, range of motion stretches, reflexology, aromatherapy, warmed stones or Reiki. Clients are scheduled with enough time between sessions as to allow both client and myself to remain in the calm and serene state that is a result of the massage. There is no rushing just relaxing.

A little about me & my Health and Fitness philosophy: I am an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, a Licensed Massage Therapist and a Certified Wellcoach; so I tend to use the “whole body” approach – mind, body & spirit. If there is deficiency or congestion in any area, it will affect all. I like to make sure that my clients learn to listen to their bodies. There is no place for “No Pain No Gain” in my training, if it hurts don’t do it. We’ll find another way together. I believe that as we mature, stretching and flexibility are as important as strength training. My Personal training clients learn a complimentary stretch for all muscle groups they are working. I teach some simple strength and stretching exercises to my Massage client to help them achieve balance in their bodies. -Scott Coldwell
