“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 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.”
“My experience with Kurt has been one of great relief and trust. I feel safe with Kurt, safe to allow pain, relax and get to the other side of it. He is teaching me more about how to release held places in my body that are stuck, to expand and open into positions that I have never felt before.
There is also a calmness and an expanded sense of possibility that I experience after the treatments.
I came to him with acute shoulder pain.
With the treatments he addresses the whole-body alignment. He brought me back to a more centered place with no pain. The continued treatments bring more alignment and more mobility.”
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 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.

“Kurt is a skilled, sensitive and professional practitioner. He has not only helped me with my chronic back pain but also educated me to understand some of the underlying connections so I can sustain myself and move with more ease. I gladly recommend him.”
“I received my first bodywork session from Kurt and feel much more in alignment. Long-term work-related hip and low back issues seem to be in good position and have opened up for the first time in years. If you have real issues/injuries like myself you may need to sign on for more than the one adjustment but I feel his combination of styles/backgrounds combine well to make him a very effective body worker. Make sure to give him the full set of information. I found him very patient and attentive in hearing my whole list of issues and injuries I’ve accumulated, and I could feel him processing and applying the information I gave him so don’t be shy! Kurt is great.
He will fix you up!”
Going to Full Range Bodywork was extremely helpful for my aging body. At 67, I had become limited in my range of motion. Recognizing my limitations wasn’t a pleasant experience. Before my first visit, I had to let the blood flow after driving for 45 minutes and it was painful getting in and out of bed. The recovery time after playing pickleball was at least 14 hrs. After the first visit, my pain had gone down along with my recovery time, it helped so much that I was sold on the 10 sessions. At first, I had to learn to breath through the pain of the muscles and facia. I learned that breathing through a cramp is necessary. Throughout this amazing experience, I believe I grew an inch, well let’s be honest I didn’t grow but I was finally able stand up with my shoulders pulled back and I feel like I’m taller.

The changes that I experienced both during and after the 10 sessions were subtle yet significant. My gait feels much smoother and I am walking more upright. Since seeing Kurt I no longer have the need to see a chiropractor regularly as I'm much more settled into my alignment. I’ve also noticed that my body movements feel much more fluid especially while doing things like playing pickleball. I had a knee replacement 5 years ago after suffering for many years due to a sports injury. I finally feel like my body is balanced. I highly recommend.

Not to put such a dramatic spin on it, but you literally saved my life: my cherished 70-year-old life of being active and pain free.
Before seeing you, I thought I was destined to be in extreme discomfort for the rest of my days. You “fixed” me when traditional medical care was unable to.
A months old twisted ankle was not healing and by favoring it, sciatica pain crept in on the other side. I was a mess and not getting better. Gone were the days of long dog walks and beach adventures with my grandkids. My fear was that I was going to suffer and deteriorate forever.
By the end of the first session of NMSI, I was walking better and I knew I was on the road to recovery. You and your intuitive skills are amazing. I hope everyone who is pain finds seeks you out for help. It is a wonder how you can make such a difference in just a few sessions.

The body work & advice you gave me yesterday during my body work made a fast difference. The reaching – flexibility trouble I have been having for years seems to have been GREATLY improved already. I am looking forward to my next visit !

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!"
