Functional Body Care

About

Marek Rafalo, LMT

I believe the body can restore balance when it has the right support. My goal is to provide a calm, supportive environment where each session is tailored to you and what your body needs.

My therapeutic approach combines CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, and Asian Bodywork techniques to gently address areas of tension and restriction while supporting the nervous system and the body’s natural self-regulating processes.

I work with clients seeking support for neck and back tension, headaches, restricted mobility, postural imbalances, stress-related tension, emotional stress, nervous system regulation, and recovery following physical injury or concussion. Rather than focusing only on where symptoms are felt, I look at the body as a whole and work to identify patterns of tension or restriction that may be contributing to discomfort.

Every session is individualized, gentle, and guided by how your body responds. I intend to help you feel more comfortable, balanced, relaxed, and connected with your body.

Sessions are available in English and Polish.

My Skills

CranioSacral Therapy

A gentle, hands-on approach that works with the craniosacral system and the body’s natural rhythms. It may help release deep patterns of tension, support nervous system regulation, and promote a greater sense of relaxation, balance, and well-being.

Visceral Manipulation

A gentle manual therapy focused on the mobility and natural movement of the internal organs and surrounding tissues. Restrictions in these areas can influence posture, movement, and patterns of tension elsewhere in the body. This approach supports improved mobility and overall body function.

Asian Bodywork

Traditional hands-on techniques using gentle pressure, movement, and specific points along the body. These techniques can help reduce muscular tension, encourage relaxation, improve body awareness, and support overall balance.

Integrative Therapeutic Bodywork

Each session is individualized and may combine different techniques based on what your body needs that day. Rather than following a standard routine, I work with the body as a whole to address patterns of tension and restriction and support greater comfort, mobility, and balance.
