Deborah Gross has been practicing massage since 1982. She graduated from the Swedish Institute of Massage and Allied Health Sciences in New York City. She has a BA from Brooklyn College and an MA from Goddard College in Vermont. Deborah was inspired to pursue a career in pain relief after her own experience with chronic back pain. In seeking relief she explored many approaches, both traditional and alternative, and as a result, has an unusually eclectic and effective repertoire to help others in pain. Happily, she has been pain free for many years now and bikes hikes and dances. It is her delight and privilege to bring this joy to others now.
In addition to havinga private practice, Deborah worked with in various settings, chiropractors, osteopaths, surgeons. In 2011 she become a Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner. Deborah says that “…the Feldenkrais Method is like the General Theory of Relativity for body work. It offers a reasonable explanation of why other modalities might or might not work in any given situation. Feldenkrais was working with the concept of brain plasticity years before the term became popular.” As Dr. Feldenkrais himself put it, ”We’re not just after flexible bodies, we’re after a flexible brain.”
