  • About Ben: Trauma-Informed Bodywork & Energy Healing

  • Meet Ben -
    Massage Therapist & Energy Healer in Bensalem and Philadelphia

    Ben combines hands-on bodywork and subtle energy techniques to support your physical and emotional well-being.

  • Hands-on healing for strength, balance, and recovery.

    I take great pride in my work and the results my clients experience.

    My specialties include Kinetic Chain Release (KCR), corrective massage for the face, neck, back, and hips, and medium to extremely deep tissue work. My focus is on restructuring the soft tissues of the body for optimal function, mobility, and alignment.

    Over the years, I’ve worked with everyone from desk jockeys and blue-collar workers to athletes of all ages and people of all body types. Many clients come to me after struggling to find relief elsewhere—and I’m grateful to have helped prevent surgery for dozens, and completely resolve chronic pain for many more.

    Healing has been a part of my life since childhood. My father is a chiropractor, and watching him work inspired me to pursue a career helping people with my hands. At 15, I broke my right femur on 10/10/10. Recovering from that injury, along with others, gave me a personal perspective on the challenges people face after trauma—and the impact that proper bodywork can have in restoring balance and quality of life.

    Outside of massage, I spent over a decade practicing Tang Soo Do, earning the rank of 3rd Degree Black Belt. Martial arts training gave me a deep respect for the body’s resilience and taught me discipline, strength, endurance, and dexterity—skills I bring to every session. I also studied harp for 12 years and worked in restaurants from a young age, which exposed me to people from all walks of life—CEOs, recovering addicts, and everyone in between. These experiences shaped my understanding of people and gave me the ability to connect with clients on a human level.

    I’m committed to my own self-care through chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, floating, exercise, and more. Staying healthy and balanced ensures I can always provide bodywork of the highest quality and attention.

    I am truly honored by every client who entrusts me with their care. Helping people out of pain, back into balance, and into a better relationship with their bodies is not just my work—it’s my passion.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your healing journey. =)

  • Ben’s Bodywork Services

    A session with me blends high-quality care with attention to detail. I use a Bose sound system, Turkish cotton hot towels, an XL massage table, and a percussion massager designed by physical therapists.

    For longer sessions, I often begin with Kinetic Chain Release (KCR)—a sequence of stretches, joint mobilizations, and muscle releases that reset neurological patterns and rebalance the body. I’ve expanded this protocol to make it even more dynamic and effective, offering results you won’t find elsewhere.

    I’ve worked with athletes, professionals, and people of all sizes, often helping those who haven’t found relief with other providers. Each session is tailored to your needs, with time set aside to ensure the work is done thoroughly and without rush.

    KCR, CTR, & PFM Sessions

    A trio of hands-on therapies designed to help your body realign, reset, and restore.

    Kinetic Chain Release (KCR)
    This gentle full-body sequence of stretches and joint mobilizations follows the body’s kinetic chain to restore alignment and balance. By resetting the nervous system and deactivating the fight-or-flight response, KCR helps relieve chronic tension and compensation patterns from past injuries or surgeries—promoting ease and stability from head to toe.

    Connective Tissue Release (CTR)
    CTR builds on KCR by focusing on specific connective tissue junctions to stimulate a myofascial response. This targeted work can relieve long-held pain and restrictions that traditional massage often can't access, offering powerful results without aggressive pressure.

    PFM (Postural Facial Method)
    PFM is a gentle, deeply restorative experience that invites you to engage with your nervous system. This method supports soft facial unwinding and subtle structural integration—often described as "magical" for the sense of calm and clarity it brings.

    Rates:
    45 minutes – $135
    60 minutes – $180
    75 minutes – $225
