“I twisted my forearm in a road bike accident and couldn’t roll my arm over without severe pain near the elbow joint. I suffered through the pain for a couple of weeks and tried unsuccessfully to self manage it. Art worked on my arm for less than 10 minutes and the pain went away and has never returned. I have full motion in my forearm and not a trace of discomfort. As a physical therapist having practiced for over 20 years I have never seen anything like this. I’d like to add the spiral techniques to my own list of healing tools.”

“I am so grateful for Art Jaffe and his expert bodywork. I was blessed to have a brief session with him before traveling abroad to Japan. In less than a half an hour, Art was able to release scar tissue from a 25 year-old shoulder rotator cuff injury which had become increasingly painful and stiff over the years.

My range of motion and the discomfort has been reduced about 80%. Thank you, Art, you have a gentle way of approaching and a compassionate touch.”

Dear Art,

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 I can come up with. I’ve been living with tightness and restriction in my back and hips for so many years, and have tried many modalities of bodywork to try and relieve the pain. Many things have helped – for a day or two. The work you did with me feels more like a release than simply a relief. I immediately had more mobility and relaxation in my body. What’s more wonderful – and amazing – is that my muscles have actually continued to become softer in the weeks since. Even after two long-distance plane flights (which usually turn my back into a brick) my shoulders are still “down” and not tethered to the back of my skull like they’ve been winched up with a thick cord. I think I am breathing more deeply. This is very big stuff that you do. THANK YOU.

After 4 years of sensitive muscles and back pain, I found Arthur Jaffe via a Google search. There are few people in NYC practicing neuromuscular therapy and even fewer who do the job like Art does. He was my second try at finding a good doctor, and as much as I hate to admit it, he just might be my last. Make sure he teaches you about Breathwork – it can change your life.

“In April 2002, I had been in a wheelchair for over 3 years. I had just started to use a walker part-time. My challenges with Osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, Meniere’s Disease were the reason for the wheelchair and walker. I met Art Jaffe at this time. We worked together to release the pain and toxins. I had my first pain-free hours after the first session – something I had not experienced for many years. I have continued to work with Art. Sept 2002, I was able to walk on my own without any aids for the first time in over 7 years.”

“Childhood injuries resulted in discomfort and limited ranges of motion in my left shoulder and right hip. One session with Arthur Jaffe significantly reduced the muscle spasms that were causing these conditions. He even managed to “drop” my left shoulder 2 inches, back to its intended height.

Until this therapy session, I lived with these afflictions for over 40 years. I had tried many other procedures with lackluster results. I recommend anyone with similar or analogous conditions to seriously consider seeking relief from Arthur Jaffe.”

“I wanted to sit down and write this letter so I could share with you the dramatic improvements that have taken place with my body since our neuromuscular therapy began. I need to bore you with a few details about my health history and background first.

I played football for 16 years which took a negative toll on m body. Within a three year period, I had reconstructive knee surgery, tore my hip flexor, severely strained my lower back, not to mention numerous concussions, broken hands, ribs, etc. While I had a love affair with the game of football, I began to realize that it took away my health, mobility, and at times my normal frame of mind. Once my time on the gridiron ran out, all of the past injuries came back to haunt me. I developed severe pain in my hips and upper back. I have visited dozens of chiropractors and specialists with no luck of ridding myself of the pain. The constant pain began to also impact on my frame of mind. Just a few years ago, I felt invincible, always ready to rise to any physical challenge. Suddenly I could not even get up from the floor or climb the stairs without considerable help. At 27 years old, I felt 77 and in my mind was a constant feeling of defeat. My three-year-old daughter would ask me to sit on the floor and read her books. I would have to explain to her that Daddy just couldn’t do that. I was missing out on precious moments with my little girl. Simple tasks like finding my shoes were no longer possible and had to be done by my wife because I just couldn’t bend down to get on my knees to look under the bed.

After these last couple of years of pain and low self-esteem, I sought your help. In today’s world, society loosely uses the term “great.” I have always felt that this term “great” should be used for things like the Mona Lisa, Babe Ruth, the Sistine Chapel. Let me say this: Art Jaffe is GREAT. My pain is entirely gone. I can run, jump, and most importantly, sit on the floor and read to my daughter. My mental frame of mind has improved 100 fold. Nothing seems like a challenge anymore and I feel like I could play football again. Everyday when I wake up, I smile because I knew that my worse day being pain free will be better than my best day when I was in pain. Thank you, Art, for giving me a new lease on life.”

“I am writing this as a patient of Art Jaffe , and Carine Vermenot one of his students. Carine and Art have been doing Neuromuscular healing therapy on me for the last year. Art has been working on me for the last few months continuously. He is a sensitive and intuitive, highly skilled healer. And I can say the same for his associate Carine.

The work he and Carine have done on my body to assist me in healing has been miraculous.
I trust Carine and Art’s techniques and their intuition. They are excellent at what they do and I would recommend them freely.

Last October I was in a wheel chair and couldn’t walk. I had a serious hip injury, and many other serious injuries from a truck hitting my car several years ago. I was in chronic pain every single day. Carine and Art worked on me twice weekly for several weeks and then we went to once each week — now we work together 1 or 2 times each month.

After Art worked on my body I felt well — and pain free for the first time in years. I began to walk again and I moved freely. Sometimes I would feel so well after a healing that I would find myself strutting down the street and leaping around just to see that I COULD!

With Art’s encouragement and instruction I started stretching and exercising between treatments. Now instead of sitting in a wheel chair unable to walk — I can walk, run , stretch and play with my kids again. I can sit on the floor in a yoga position — and bend over and touch my toes. I can move my body in ways that I couldn’t imagine a year ago.

Not only does my body feel much more well again — but my mind is easy — I have relief from a lot of the pain, and after a healing — I sleep better at night. After years of pain and despair — I am filled with hope of the possibilities for my future wellness. Feeling my body regaining it’s health has given me the ability to begin working on the things that are important to me again,
I’ve even started playing the Violin again. I am doing the things I love and enjoying my life again.

Thank You Carine and Thank You Art — for your masterful healing, your great hearts, and for helping me have my life back.

Sincerely,”

Cindy LeBow

“Dear Art,

I shuffled into your office with debilitating muscular pain that had been crippling me for months. The strong prescribed medicinesgave me no relief, but after 90 minutes of your fingers, thumbs, elbows and feet digging deep into my body, I walked out pain free, and I’ve been that way for 6 weeks!

Now, I can stretch and move comfortably. I can’t thank you enough.”
