Neuromuscular Therapy & Myofascial Release

HomepageImage-Arch

Spiral Techniques is a specialized system of neuromuscular therapy and myofascial release that benefits everyone—the well-functioning as well as the injured—and works simultaneously on the physical, emotional and energetic levels of the mind/body constellation.

Formulated by Arthur Jaffe, the technique was developed over a period of several decades through careful study and integration of the world’s most powerful hands-on healing traditions, both Eastern and Western. Spiral Techniques is a system that is more penetrating and profound than massage and more whole-self integrative than chiropractic.

The exquisite myofascial, deep tissue release aspects of this work have been especially effective in mitigating and eliminating a wide range of painful, limiting conditions related to muscle/nerve interaction and soft tissue dysfunctions, whether acute or chronic, in young and old alike.

"...In short, while I have had the privilege of working with Arthur, I have seen long held physical and emotional tension melt away. During each session, I can (literally) feel my body clock being turned back as my muscles relax, aches disappear, and youthful vigor return...I plan to continue working with him for the remainder of my career.... I would recommend him to members of my family as well as any player in the NBA or other professional sporting organizations. He is a uniquely qualified individual in the realm of healing."

“My body is my equipment and Art is my mechanic. Being a fitness Guru, injury comes often because of overuse and wear and tear in my body. Art is the number one specialist, who not only makes you feel better but helps put your body on apath to healthy living.

I never knew how much I was holding in my body until I felt the relief from Art’s technique. I would recommend Art to anyone that is feeling anything from that discomfort of daily wear and tear to painful conditions that you mightthink were chronic. He’s definitely my go to guy for personal physical healing.”

"I don't quite know how to express what you have done for me. Whatever it is, it's a very good thing.

Your own words—about restoring the body I was born with—feel more descriptive than any others. The work you did with me feels more like a release than simply a relief. I think I am even breathing more deeply.

This is very big stuff that you do. THANK YOU!"

"When your body is out of whack, after years of suffering and being out of alignment, and are just about ready to give up, .... Along comes Art Jaffe.  There are very few people who can really make a difference, and Art is one of those especially gifted people. He has created a way of freeing your body so, in just one or a few sessions, function returns and you feel comfortable inside your skin again.
It seems like a miracle has happened!
His desire to train people in this work is his passion. This was in obvious evidence when Art accompanied me to Haiti, where he taught and tirelessly treated many people during our stay there.
The work he did was amazing! And yes, we need more Arts in this universe."

"...I was unable to maintain more than a brisk walk, unable to run or jog. Art treated me for 45 minutes and managed to correct a number of imbalances. The next day, after my body assimilated this treatment, I was able to run again, making it possible for me to reach the goal of 3100 miles in the allotted time frame. Art is an incredible asset to us at the race. His therapy helps performance, and more specifically muscle power and endurance. I look forward to seeing him every summer at this race."
