I have found my massage therapist! Jim is AMAZING! Having practiced yoga for almost 4 years I've become very conscious of the alignment of my body and tweakiness in different parts of my body. Working at a computer everyday, my pectoral muscles, neck, and shoulders are constantly feeling tight. And lately my hips have been pinchy feeling.
First thing that makes Be Well amazing: the scheduling system is SUPER easy - just a few clicks and I had my appointment set up.
Just down the street from the Old South Church and across the street from the main Boston public library, the door to the place is next to a restaurant with a patio (I was so relaxed after my appointment, I didn't even notice what the place was). Up the stairs or the elevator to the 2nd floor, and you're at Be Well, where Jim welcomed me.
After filling out the paperwork, Jim brought me to the room, where we discussed my needs - tight shoulders, neck, mid-back, and hips. Jim was very attentive, checking in with me about the pressure, the room temperature, generally making sure I was comfortable.
Best thing was that Jim heard me and what I was looking to do with my 90 minute appointment - to release tension in my upper back and hips - and he wasn't afraid of working out all the kinks with a good amount of pressure! And apparently there was a lot of junk in my left hip. I don't know what I was holding onto in my left hip, but there was a lot of energy in there. As Jim pushed into my hip and glut, I could feel my whole left leg twitch all the way through my toes, and I could feel heat throughout my body. crazy! One of the best parts of the appointment was at the end when Jim gave me some great tips and advice on how to improve my yoga practice. Like a doctor prescribing medicine I don't like, Jim told me I should practice pigeon and frog poses everyday. Yuck, but I know I need them both. I knew right then - I'm coming back here every 90 days!
And while it's pricier than I'm used to, the no-tipping policy is really great. I can't think math to come up with a tip after a massage anyway! And so... Jim is my bodywork therapist! -

My first appointment with Katrina was as a journalist writing a review for a local Back Bay paper, so you can trust this as the utmost of objective reviews. It was such an amazingly rejuvenating experience that I continued seeing Katrina long after my assignment was complete.
After my last visit, I turned to Katrina and said, "You are saving my life!" It might sound a bit exaggerated, but when someone is single-handedly responsible for treating your headaches, allowing you to be comfortable throughout your workday, and giving you the strength and mobility to return to your normal life routine, I'd say that's close to life saving in my book.
In addition to the work she does while I'm at Be Well, Katrina provides important physiological information to better educate me about my ailments. And she recommends useful stretches and/or equipment that I can use on my own time to help get better.
Katrina and Jim are both avid athletes and all around healthy people who are able to impart their love of fitness and respect for the body with all who walk through their doors. -

I can't say enough good things about be well boston and their staff. Both Katrina and Jim are the best. They take the time to find out your history and how to apply their techiniques to fix you up. They make you feel comforatble and relaxed. Its not some foofooey spa place where you get pampered and pay the price. I've been a client for a few years and they are always fixing me up from over use injuries to general tightness. They are both two of the most positive and friendly people i know with a wealth of knowledge and techiniques between them for healing sore, tight muscles and injuries. If you're a weekend warrior, die hard athlete, or just have pain from sitting in cramped office chair everyday . .go see them . .YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED!!!
