Art is simply one of the most gifted holistic massage therapists I’ve encountered anywhere. His spiral technique of softening, lengthening, and loosening the fascia relieved pain and tension and helped me regain a much greater range of motion in a single visit. He is incredibly skilled in working the deepest levels of muscular and fascial tissue and is so intentional in helping the body relearn its own wisdom and suppleness. Because his level of competence is so high and the technique he uses so rare, I think he’s a simply a master. He needs to consider opening a school to teach this method!

When I came to Art, my neck was frozen and couldn’t move it to the left or right. It was so painful before he touched me. As he started working on me I felt my body started to melt. He uses his body weight along with his forearms and gently goes in deep like he’s ironing out all the kinks. I liked that he asked me to breath and cough out my pain. He asked me to use my sounds to release the pain.

All I can say is that it’s two days later and I have no more pain in my neck which is amazing. I have been carrying that pain for a long time hoping I would find someone like Art to heal me. Art is a very experienced body worker and really knows what he is doing. I know this because I have had so many people work on my body through the years but never had anyone that I can call a body sculpturer!

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.

After going to an acupuncturist, chiropractor and massage therapy to get the right treatment for my leg finally I met Art.

I had a sharp pain in my left leg and I could not bend it completely and I was unable to do yoga. I was very surprised when Art Jaffe worked on my body for 10 minutes and my leg went back to normal. I told Art that I just experience “magic” and he told me “this is science”. I was so glad to put my body in his hand to receive the miracle of restoring my health in a matte of minutes. I had this pain for over two months and nothing was working.

I am very grateful to Art Jaffe, he is a warrior of love, health and vitality. Art, thank you for helping me and for the contribution you are making to the planet.

Namaste,

Stephanie Fiallo

Art goes DEEP! I’m a working musician with a chronically bad shoulder and he helped me in a way no other doctor or healer has been able to. He got in there, got results and kindly took the time to show me stretches and exercises to keep my positive momentum going.

Art has such a welcoming way about him, both strong and gentle, that he instantly put me at ease. During our session, he gave me an in-depth descriptions of his techniques, my issues and their possible roots, and the legacy of his teachers and students.

I’ve been to physical therapy, massage parlors, yoga classes – you name it. Art is the first guy to actually CHANGE my shoulder, not just relieve the pain for a moment. For that, I am eternally grateful! Thanks Art!

“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,”

“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.”
