About
The faces behind the healing.
The faces behind the healing.
At The Body Buddha, we know your body is always speaking—even when it’s quiet. The tension in your shoulders, the stiffness in your back, or the fatigue that lingers are messages, not just discomfort. Our purpose is to help you understand what your body is saying and guide it back to balance, naturally and effectively.

REDUCTION OF PAIN:
MET involves the subject to voluntarily contract the muscle in a precisely controlled direction against the therapist’s counter force. Its therapeutic effects are to reduce pain, reduce muscle tone, stretch tightened muscles, strengthen the weak muscles, improve local circulation and mobilize joint restrictions. The reduction in pain intensity in the groups is attributed to the effects of MET which is explained by the inhibitory Golgi tendon reflex, activated during the isometric contraction that in turn leads to the reflex relaxation of the muscles.

MOBILITY IMPROVEMENT
Mobility is your ability to move with control. Improving your mobility means improving your ability to pick something up from the floor not just being able to reach it (flexibility). Improvements in your posture are most notable when you combine flexibility and mobility techniques.

MB is in a league of her own when it comes to soft tissue work…I’ve known her for 25yrs, and she’s always pushing the envelope with holistic healing. 3 hip surgeries and 2 knee surgeries later there is no one I trust with my body more. #retiredOlympian

After years of doctors and scans that couldn’t find the cause of my pain, Margery at The Body Buddha helped me heal after one visit and a personalized plan. When I later had severe back pain, she and Devyn eased almost all of it in one session. Margery truly understands the body and cares deeply about her clients. Highly recommend.

Margery is incredible. Every session leaves me feeling lighter and pain-free. She finds the real source of pain and treats the whole body with expert care. I no longer need regular massages because her treatments are that effective. Highly recommend The Body Buddha.

The Body Buddha has completely changed my life. I came in with years of pain and mobility issues, and after just one session I felt a huge difference. My movement, sleep, and overall health have all improved. I’m stronger in the gym and feel better than ever. I’ve even brought my husband, family, and friends because everyone deserves to feel this good.

I came to The Body Buddha in 2016 for knee pain, but Margery discovered the real issue was uneven hips. She fixed the problem, relieved my pain, and turned me into a believer. Since then, I’ve completed 3 marathons and over 40 half marathons. Margery is truly the best!

FAQ
Got Questions?
Got Questions?
01/
What is Muscle Energy Technique (MET) and how does it work?
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a hands-on therapy where you gently contract your muscles while the therapist applies controlled resistance. This activates your body’s natural reflexes to release tension, improve mobility, and reduce pain—helping restore healthy movement without invasive procedures or medications.
02/
How is The Body Buddha different from a regular physiotherapy clinic?
Unlike traditional physiotherapy, The Body Buddha blends osteopathic principles with holistic movement and mindful healing. We focus on the root cause of dysfunction—how your body moves, compensates, and communicates—rather than just treating symptoms.
03/
What should I expect during my first session?
Your first session includes a full evaluation, postural assessment, and hands-on therapy using Muscle Energy and fascia release techniques. You’ll stay comfortably clothed while we guide your body through gentle movements that promote natural healing and deep relaxation.
04/
Who can benefit from Body Buddha treatments?
Our approach supports people recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, improving posture, or enhancing athletic performance. It’s also ideal for anyone seeking stress relief, better mobility, or a more mindful connection with their body.
05/
How soon will I feel results after a session?
Many clients experience immediate relaxation and reduced pain, while deeper improvements in mobility and energy often develop over several days. Consistent sessions and personalized movement strategies help create long-lasting results
