Established in 1999, The Boston Bodyworker prides itself on being an Evidence Based Practice (EBP). Our practice is based on three essential components.

Secondly as an EBP, The Boston Bodyworker employs only clinicians with considerable clinical experience. Our therapists must have a minimum of two years experience and also pass the BBW-U, an in-house training program.
