    I have been working with Russell now for a couple of months. He is superb in diagnosing and working on my aging body to both improve flexibility and reduce aches. I’m able to move faster on the tennis court and recovery time has also reduced. Highly recommend him for both everyday issues and to enhance performance.

    I highly recommend Active Body Works in Needham for truly therapeutic and corrective bodywork. Russell's technique is highly effective, combining deep knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and meridians to address pain, tension, and mobility issues. His approach is precise, intentional, and results-driven. If you're looking for a skilled therapist who goes beyond relaxation to deliver real improvements, book a session here!

    If you’re suffering from any injury I strongly suggest to go to him. He is so knowledgeable and puts 100% into his patients. I have been suffering from severe sciatica in pregnancy from a disc herniation and he found the pain points and worked on releasing the tight muscles
