Stuart Garber, LMT

Stuart Garber has been supporting clients through a wide range of physical challenges since graduating massage school in 1988.   He’s worked at the Ostrow (Osteopathic) Institute for Pain Management and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, as well as in private practice in Park Slope Brooklyn, Full-Spectrum Touch Healing Journeys. He’s lead classes in body-centered self-care and self-discovery for a wide range of groups for years and teaches advanced skills for massage therapists, including working with trauma sensitivity and work for the mouth and jaw.  He’s trained in a wide range of hands-on modalities, as well as in body-centered healing practices including Somatic Experiencing (since the late ‘90’s), Focusing Oriented Therapy and Shamanic Reiki (Master Teacher Level).

Testimonials

  • Once, when asked by someone to describe Stuart's technique, I just said 'magic.' At heart I think he's a rare kind of healer. He’s extremely talented and intuitive, but he also incorporates so much knowledge, so many techniques and years of experience into his practice, that he can actually fix you in a lot of ways at once. I always leave his practice feeling and looking drastically better, and know the same to be true for everyone I've sent to him.

    SC – Designer with TMJ Issues

  • Stuart Garber is more than a bodyworker. He is a true healer. I've had ongoing challenges that Stuart addresses with a keen understanding of the structural issues involved, combined with highly sensitive and focused hands-on skills and a nurturing and supportive presence. Our sessions leave me feeling not only better physically, but deeply enlivened and renewed as well. I am so happy to have someone I know who I can confidently send my clients to. I can't recommend him highly enough!

    RG - Yoga Teacher, Therapist

  • Stuart Garber is orders of magnitude better than any massage therapist I have ever had, and as a bodyworker myself I have seen many. I have been seeing him for 20 years, and he has uncoiled muscles traumatized by an auto accident, congenital misalignments in my neck and jaw and all manner of stress or strains. He works deeply enough to restructure the ways I hold my bones and posture. After my accident his adjustments held far longer than chiropractic manipulations. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

    KV - Acupuncturist and Herbalist

  • I can't say enough good things about Stuart Garber. He provides an exceptional service to people looking for relief from pain and discomfort. I went to him with lower back and hip pain and left feeling so much better and knowing so much more about my body and its history and the interconnectedness of physical structures. He zeroes in on the core of the issue almost instantly. He is really amazing. I was referred to him by several colleagues all of whom have also benefitted from his amazing talent. He is kind, professional, intuitive, thorough and very effective. He is truly gifted.

    ZB - Arts Administrator

  • Stuart has been a consistent source of hope for recovery and support over the 12 years I have worked with him, as a (now) 20-year cancer survivor with a long list of residual damage from radiation and chemotherapy. Through breath, touch, sound, body awareness and imagery to complement his focused hands-on care, Stuart has helped my body repair damage that doctors had declared permanent, including softening of scar tissue, increasing range-of-motion in damaged areas and transforming numbness into places of feeling again. His combination of skill and compassion are a unique gift. You will find no one to be a more willing and constructive participant in your own healing.
