Neck and shoulder pain: from not knowing she was feeling miserably to relief from pain:
“I didn’t realize how miserably I had been feeling until you completed your procedure. It’s uncanny how you were able to locate my neck and shoulder muscles that were causing the pain – you have a skill that is greatly respected and admired.”

After 85 years: to greater integration and zeal for life:
“As a sophisticated body-worker, it is thrilling to discover, after 85 years, that there is such a healer who can give me such a sense of promise of even greater integration and zeal for life. It has been exciting to discover the transformational nature of Art Jaffe’s techniques that appear to me to intuite cellular knowledge. He has information in his hands that has been wonderful for an elder to experience. It pleases me to express my appreciation of Art’s energy and knowledge.”

“This is as good as it gets! Art is a master of energy & an amazing healer. He has the wisdom that only comes from years of experience, but he also has the caring gift of a healer that is given to only a few.
I have suffered from chronic shoulder/neck/arm nerve impingement stuff that is aggravated by my work and is somewhat unavoidable. In one session, Art had me significantly improved, in two almost rid of the pain, and in three well on the way to recovery. It’s incredible to think the doctors would even consider surgery or cortisone injections when Art’s neuromuscular therapy was really all I needed.
Now that the acute problem is gone I know all I have to do is stay in shape and see Art once every few weeks to keep everything in order.
Amazing stuff! Art can help heal you. He’s really helped me.”

“I have been seeing Art over a number of years and he has addressed a number of painful challenges beginning with neuropathy in my feet in 2004. Sessions with Art provide relief when traditional medicine has only offered drugs to treat symptoms or possible surgical approaches. As exhausting as a session can be for the amount of physical work performed is extensive, I have never felt better than when I leave his office. In addition to the neuropathy, Art has used his technique to relieve extensive lower back pain and stiffness as well as shoulder and rotater cuff area stiffness and swelling.
Homework assignments of various exercises have proved invaluable in allowing me to overcome out of balance stance and the type of secondary stiffness and pain resulting from overcompensating for various changes in my gate and posture due to to neoropathy, hip wear and ankle deterioration.”

I am a former test pilot & parachutist. I have been involved in many crash landings and suffered a plethora of broken bones and injuries. The worst was a crash in which I broke my neck… Fractured was C6, herniated and ruptured were all disks from C2 through C7. I have refused corrective surgery, as the chances for further harm are too great and I have suffered extreme neural pain in my arms and shoulders for several years since.
Conventional treatment is has been a string of physical therapists, doctors and terrible drugs to control pain. This is no way to live… I finally couldn’t take it and researched an alternate approach. No pain medications, only a small daily dose of HGH to improve healing, exercise and body work from Art. Most physical therapists will not go near my injury and when they do its with the softest of touch. Art’s knowledge and confidence allows him to aggressively work near my injury and bring me great relief. Muscles that have been cramped continuously for two years and slowly loosening. My range of motion in my neck and shoulders is noticeably improving. My pain level is manageable. I can for the first time in years see the direction a treatment is going and predict recovery.
I would highly recommend Arthur Jaffe to anyone with a neuro-muscular injury, especially people that have had less than desired results with mainstream therapists & clinics.

“A session with Art is not just a moment of being taken care of with the utmost awareness, but it is also an honest and revealing experience. Art creates a safe and empowering environment.
I can rave on about how amazing Art is at Neuromuscular Therapy but I would like to take this opportunity to share with you how safe he made me feel. As a women it is not always easy to see a male practitioner. From the beginning Art made it very clear to me that I was in charge. I had two words at my disposal- stop and lighter. These magic words made me feel safer but I still wasn’t completely at ease. Throughout the session he kept reminded me that I had to use them. It is interesting to realize that even though he gave me freedom and clear instructions to vocalize my comfort/discomfort level, I felt scared to do so. He is very intuitive, therefore he was able to tell by my breathing when I was not well. At the end of the session I was completely at ease with him and trusted his guidance. Art never stopped checking in with me and reinforcing the magic words. Moreover, when I began releasing some sorrow he compassionately encouraged me to let go, all the while staying within the context of the bodywork.
My neck and shoulders feel free. My shoulder blades have glided back to their rightful place and my calves have loosen their grip. Art is a wonderful practitioner, I will recommend him to everyone I know.”

“Along with chiropractic care and yoga, Art’s work is the fastest way to permanant pain relief and greater mobility. its deep muscular work that is much more effective than rolfing. i would recommend it in the highest terms because it works- and in only a sesson or two!”

“I am a professional competitive ballroom dancer. I have studied dance since the tender age of three with such well known institutes as the Kirov Ballet & recently hold the title with my partner as 7th in the world in the Cabaret/Theatre Arts Division. Three years ago I tore my right hamstring during a performance which greatly inhibited my flexibility and performance level. Two years after the incident while trying on ballroom shoes I met Art Jaffe. We struck up a conversation in which I mentioned my past injury & how I felt I was never going to regain the flexibility that I once had. After one session with Art I noticed improvement in my hamstring & after several I regained full range of motion. I could do a right split again! After months & months of physical therapy Art Jaffe was the only one who actually gave me results. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their overall well being especially anyone who is suffering from chronic pain. He is truly a gifted man. Thank you Art!”

” I endured pain in my left knee for years and years, due to athletics and various injuries recieved during my time in law enforcement. When Art, a regular customer, walked into my shop, he noticed the knee brace I was wearing and offered to help me out with it. I had no idea how he could do that, but ten minutes later, the pain was almost gone. i haven’t worn the brace since that day. When he came in today, I had trouble remembering even which knee it was that had hurt me for so long. Thanks, Art ”

Dear Art:
“I’m writing to thank you for the amazing work you do. When I first came to see you, I was in near-constant knee-pain from a car accident in January of 1995. I couldn’t walk up stairs without it feeling like bone-on-bone crunching and coming down stairs was even worse. I felt like my knees were going to go out on me with every shaky step. I tried physical therapy but
the exercises were so painful and I wasn’t seeing any results so I gave up on it. My doctor had me stop all impact activities (like jogging and step aerobics) and told me to manage the pain with Ibuprophen. He said that when I got the maximum daily dose and my even still pain level was unbearable, then I could come back for cortisone shots to manage the inflammation and
pain. But he said that even those shots would be a temporary measure and eventually I would probably need knee replacement surgery.
Finally, in the fall of 2007, I came to see you. I had never been to an NMT before and I was a bit skeptical of your non-conventional therapies. Just one hour later, I could actually bend my knees without pain or fear for the first time in more than a decade. I was a skeptic no more. Between the exercises you suggested I do at home (which don’t hurt!) and the visits to
your office, I am now able to go jogging with my dogs.
Not only have you helped me physically, but my whole outlook on life has really changed. I didn’t realize how being in constant pain had affected my world-view until that pain was lifted. Now I feel confident to try new things and have even started my own company!
You are a truly gifted healer and I would highly recommend your practice to
anyone in pain.”
