“Kurt Baker was the only practitioner I found who was able to provide relief from my pain.”
— Sara Fowler, Albion CAWorking with Kurt has been like taking a master workshop in my own body. From the first session, he was able to answer questions about my body’s structure that I had been asking professionals for years. My body was transformed after each of our sessions and he provided me with exercises that allowed me to upkeep the transformation. Working with Kurt has given me the foundation to take care of my body with confidence.

Structural Bodywork
Neuro-Structural Reset
A full-body, clothes-on session designed to release muscular contraction, free your joints, and restore natural alignment. Ideal for pain relief, tension patterns, and ongoing maintenance for people who aren’t ready for deeper work but still want to experience change.
Bodytherapy: The Ten Series & Single Session work
An ingenious synthesis of Ida Rolf’s Structural Integration and the Feldenkrais Method, this 10-session series is designed to reorganize and balance your body in a way you can integrate into your world. While the work is very scientific and precise, it is also an art form.
From the 10 sessions you will go through a full body rejuvenation. The first three sessions release the superficial fascial layers of your body preparing it for the remaining sessions by improving your breathing capacity, ensuring gravity flows through your body more efficiently and uplifting and broadening the body that that you stand tall, with fullness, and surefooted.
The middle 4 sessions delve into the core of your body, freeing up long standing patters within the hips and pelvis, as well as repositioning the head onto your body. When the pelvis and head or well balanced movement becomes free and elegant.
The last three sessions balance and coordinate your upper, lower girdles and align your entire body together. Leaving you, balanced, grounded, and serine.
The 10 sessions are a commitment, but you can try a preliminary session to see if its a good fit for you. You can also come in to address something specific.
What Clients Are Saying
“After doing the 10 sessions, I’m now able to feel the line of gravity. There’s a feeling of weightlessness and freedom in my movements. I have an awareness now that I didn’t have before. I’m able to dance again”
I’ve had scoliosis since I was a teen. It hasn’t really bothered me during much of my life , but about ten years ago it began to be uncomfortable. Exercise has helped a lot, but sometimes it has hurt enough that I didn’t WANT to exercise. When I heard about the work Kurt does, I thought I’d give it a try. I went for one introductory session, which seemed to make my body feel looser in a way that I hadn’t experienced in a long time. I signed up for his series of ten sessions, which address all parts of the body in order. After about the third session I felt more “integrated” in my body than I had for a very long time. As we got further into the work, I’ve felt like both sides of my body were working together in a way I hadn’t really felt before. The best part for me, however, has been the feeling of well-being that I have. There’s something about doing this work that is deeply satisfying. I am less anxious in the world as well as feeling better in my body. Kurt also teaches alignment exercises which help to keep me aware of a different way to stand and hold myself. I am very happy that I decided to do this ten session series. I feel much more comfortable in my body, stronger, and happier.

“After four plus months of unrelenting, scary, intense pain, with visits to three doctors, two MRIs, Xrays, physical therapy, osteopathic manipulation and finally a diagnosis of trapezius spasm… Kurt Baker was the only practitioner I found who was able to provide relief from my pain. After the very first treatment there was a shift in the pain, it was less acute and less specific, but I procrastinated about going back because, to be honest, some of the treatment is intense. Once I went back for three more treatments, my pain level has returned to where it was before this all started (I should note that I am 74 and have had fibromyalgia syndrome for 38 years, so I am never pain free). Kurt’s treatments definitely relieved the acute trapezius spasm pain and I am hopeful that it never comes back. In the meantime, I intend to see Kurt for a general tune-up from time to time, and highly recommend him as help for other people with joint, muscle, or connective tissue pain issues.”
“I’ve had Kurt working on me for the last several months. I’m in my 70’s and find bodywork to be key in maintaining flexibility. Kurt is very sensitive to finding and treating your specific problem areas. He also discovers those places in your body which you might not be aware of, but are really the source of many problems. I highly recommend Kurt.”
“I have lived 40 years in severe pain. I have had extensive therapy over the years to realign my body. I have cervical, thoracic, lumbar & sacral issues. I moved here away from my body work therapist 3 years ago, I knew I needed help. Not any Spa Massage. I knew I needed realignment through manipulation of my muscular skeletal system. Kurt Baker has been by far the most beneficial help for me. He is professional, always on time and has helped in giving me back my life. He provides exercises to help me keep aligned and his fee is very reasonable. I think he has gained a lot of wisdom from the training he has had and I am very impressed
with his skill.”
