Full Range Bodywork

“Kurt Baker was the only practitioner I found who was able to provide relief from my pain.”

— Sara Fowler, Albion CA

"After several months of constant left shoulder and neck pain, I heard of Kurt and decided to schedule a session. After 3 visits, I’m almost back to normal. Kurt is very knowledgeable and provides great info on how to continue therapy at home. I can’t recommend him enough!"

—Karin Kamb, Mendocino, CA

How My Work Is Structured

I help people who are stuck between managing pain and real recovery reorganize their body so health becomes possible.

This is not symptom-chasing or “quick fix” bodywork. It’s a structured process that restores coherence—so the body can move, adapt, and heal more naturally.

The Core Idea: Coherence Creates Relief

Most persistent pain and limitation aren’t caused by one tight muscle or one “bad” joint.
They tend to come from lost coherence—when structure, movement, and perception stop working well together.

My work focuses on restoring that coherence.
When the system reorganizes, the conditions for health often emerge: less strain, better alignment, easier movement, and more resilience.

The Container: Progressive Reorganization

You can book single sessions, but the heart of my work is a multi-session, initiatory process.

Lasting change usually requires time for the nervous system and tissues to integrate what’s shifting. Over a series we can:

• Address long-standing patterns (not just flare-ups)

• Build stability instead of chasing temporary relief

• Create an arc from compensation → function → health

Ways to Work Together

Neuro-Structural Reset (Single Session)

A clothes-on, full-body session focused on:

• Releasing excessive muscular contraction

• Improving joint freedom and alignment

• Reducing strain patterns that drive pain

Best for: targeted support, getting “unstuck,” or exploring this work before committing to a longer process.

Body Therapy Series (Foundational Work)

A structured, multi-session process informed by Structural Integration, movement education, and somatic awareness.

Focus areas include:

• Reorganizing posture and movement habits

• Working with stress, old injuries, and protective holding patterns

• Teaching your system how to maintain change between sessions

Best for: people seeking real recovery, improved function, and a stronger foundation for long-term health.

What This Work Is (and Isn’t)

This work is:

• Collaborative and responsive

• Oriented toward long-term change

• Grounded in anatomy, structure, and lived experience

This work is not:

• Relaxation massage

• A substitute for acute injury care or medical treatment

• A quick fix for severe or unstable conditions

When appropriate, I’m happy to collaborate with physical therapists or medical providers.

The Aim

The goal is not perfection.
The goal is a body that moves with less effort, responds instead of compensates, and supports your life rather than limiting it.

Health isn’t imposed from the outside.
It tends to emerge when the system is organized well enough to sustain itself.

Optional add-ons (pick what fits your site)

Not sure where to start? Book a Neuro-Structural Reset first, then we’ll decide together if a longer series makes sense.
If you’re dealing with complex or severe pain, I’ll help you determine whether this work is appropriate and—if needed—recommend additional support.

Kurt Baker is one of, if not THE, best body workers on the north coast.
