Antonina Colbert, LCMT
The foundation of Antonina's approach is based in an understanding that the fascial, muscular and skeletal structures of the body are connected and that a misalignment, or pull from one area will impact another. The short-term goal is always to alleviate pain, and the long-term goal to increase the awareness you have of your body and how it moves.
She has experience working with injuries arising from repetitive stress, motor vehicle accidents, musical and athletic performance, musculo-skeletal imbalance, various syndromes (carpal tunnel, thoracic outlet, sciatica), and common computer-based postural habits which cause pain.
She integrates a combination of techniques from various modalities, draws on her love and knowledge of anatomy, and holds great respect for the complexity of the human body. Modalities she incorporates are Deep Tissue, Thai Yoga, Trigger Point, Myofascial Release, Swedish, Acupressure, and Reiki.
She attended the Massage Institute of New England, graduating with a focus on Deep Tissue work. She spent time working at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital with people recovering from surgery, injury and others managing chronic pain. She is nationally certified by the National Certification Board for Massage and Theraputic Bodywork (NCBMTB), is licensed by the state of Massachusetts, and is a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA).
She is a certified practioner of pregnancy massage, and holds a Reiki I certification.
