Arthur Madore

As the first massage therapist to practice in a hospital, most of my clients are medically referred. Many have had chronic disabling pain and dysfunction issues. My training in Neuromuscular Therapy, CranioSacral Therapy and movement re-education based on the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais as well as 33 years of clinical experience, give me a somewhat unique approach to treating complex musculoskeletal pain problems. My work has been reported in the Boston Globe. I am also the senior massage therapist at the Osher Clinic of the Brigham & Women's Hospital in Brookline. My private practice is in Dedham Mass.

In addition to the common low back and neck pain, I like to treat people with problems doing what makes life meaningful to them. This includes walking, running, sports, and exercise. It also includes the more mundane but vital abilities to sit and stand comfortably, and transitions from one position to another.

I am part of an integrated team of alternative therapists at the Brigham & Women's Hospital. We have team meetings and case discussions of challenging patients. The Pain Management Clinic also shares our office space so we can access their skills as well. This is unique in the Boston area.
