I'm William Cohea, a massage therapist with expertise in many forms of healing bodywork. I own Cohea Orthopedic Massage Center in East Bangor, PA and consult and lecture in New York City.

Massage therapy is one of the oldest methods of healing, going back nearly 4,000 years. Today massage is a foundation of any wellness program, from stress relief to the resolution of chronic pain, illness, and injury.

Pain must be healed at its source. Pain does not always serve as an early warning system, but often arises only after damage is done. If pain relief is the only goal, then functional pathologies may remain and lead to a recurrence of the problem. In order to have complete healing, the source of the problem must be addressed. Full functional restoration, in addition to pain relief, is the best and most cost-effective approach. This is how I have achieved outstanding results with people who have suffered for years from chronic or recurring conditions such as frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel, chronic back pain, and many others.

My philosophy of healing includes all levels.
In addition to hands-on massage, the body needs
proper nutrition. Beyond the physical level, work
on consciousness and emotions is essential for
healing. And ultimately, the spiritual connection
is the true source of growth and transformation.
Integrating all these levels is the mission of my
healing practice.
