Integrative Bodywork

About Us

Integrative Bodywork began when Sarah and Robert opened their massage practice together in 1983 in the Park Avenue area of Rochester, NY. Integrative Bodywork has provided the Rochester community with a professional, caring approach to Massage Therapy, bodywork, and healing for twenty-seven years.

Our Mission

forestOur aim at Integrative Bodywork is to welcome you into an atmosphere of peace and serenity, to listen to you, and to give you a session tailored to your specific needs. It is our intention to provide you with an effective means for addressing your concerns about your well being as well as general balancing. Our wish is that you can enjoy your life and function fully, free of the burden of chronic stress and fatigue.

Our Philosophy

We recognize that deep relaxation through massage and bodywork is the result of several necessary elements:

  1. Feeling comfortable and at ease with your therapist
  2. Touch that matches your needs
  3. A safe, quiet, warm and supportive atmosphere
  4. The experience of being met, received, and welcomed with whatever you bring, physically and emotionally to the session

At Integrative Bodywork we welcome you into a peaceful and restful atmosphere where you can leave behind your daily concerns and enter into a healing space just for you. This calm and quiet setting, coupled with the attentive and accepting presence of your well seasoned therapist, allows your massage, or other healing session, to lead you to a quieter, deeper part of yourself. This inner wellspring can nourish your body, mind, and spirit, supporting self-healing.

We use a wide range of techniques (go to Services to see a description of them) including various styles of Massage Therapy, Rosen Method Bodywork, Reiki, CranioSacral Therapy, Energy Clearing, Spinal Energy Balancing, and Arcing. We provide technical competence in helping the body in an atmosphere where deeper healing can occur. Those with specific health concerns, as well as those looking for general balancing, can benefit from Integrative Bodywork, a multi-faceted approach to maintaining balance and wellness. We also offer Pregnancy Massage and Couples Massage Classes & Workshops.
