Mari Bodywork Massage Therapy utilizes a blend of manual, energetic, calisthenic and meditative techniques that bring one to Total Body Awareness. Mari Bodywork balances the left and right sides of the brain by utilizing the fine art of alignment combined with the detailed study of anatomy; following a uniquely tailored program allows each person’s ultimate physical potential to emerge. Rodolfo Mari was an athlete and tennis prodigy at a young age. Injuries lead him away from competitive sports and into contemplative studies of human function. Anatomy was his focus in art school and familiarity with anatomomical function continued to grow as a personal trainer, Yoga teacher and Massage Therapist. Rodolfo attended the Swedish Institute for massage therapy where he coalesced the pieces of his experience into the practice of Mari Bodywork. One day, while browsing at Borders Book Store on 57th & Park, Rodolfo found Hugh Milne’s book “The Heart of Listening” and realized that it was a stone left unturned in his quest to understand human form and function…the Craniosacral System! A year and a half of study at the Milne Institute, the Upledger institute and a few dozen more anatomy books helped to evolve the practice of Mari Bodywork. Distilling and blending techniques from Yoga, Pilates, Shiatsu, and all kinds of massage allows Mari Bodywork to address the needs of each individual. Listening to the anatomy, alignment and Craniosacral System of each client allows a long lasting impression to be made during each session. Mari Bodywork Massage Therapy is a holistic Modern Massage Therapy practice that balances and fine tunes each body. Quality of life is enhanced through improvements in strength, flexibility, posture and Total Body Awareness. Predetermined Goals, Individual Blend.
