Beth Binegar, CMT

I don’t really want to promote Beth because it would mean that everyone will find out that she has magic hands and it will become extremely difficult to get an appt with her. But ok, I shouldn’t be selfish, so go see her ONLY if you want results. Whatever kinks/​knots/​issues that I have going on in me seem to disappear after each session. She just has that great intuition in detecting the problem spots/​tension areas and working it out. Maybe she was responsible for my PR in my half marathon. Who knows but those hands sure work wonders!

I went to see Beth initially for a severe ankle sprain — she has been a lifelong athlete and her approach to massage is on improving body function, feeling, and performance. I’m currently in the middle of a long process to get more function back in my ankle, and Beth has been both a healer and a teacher. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the body’s structure and the interplay of different parts… the thighbone’s connected to the kneebone, etc… you get it. She’s also insatiably curious, and we’ve been fortunate to know each other — me for her expertise, and her for my seemingly endless ability to provide new material for her to work with.
Beth also has a good range. She’s got hands of steel, but also a fine tuned sense of how to operate them — and when to hold back. She’ll push you, but not off a cliff. :) She’s also very grounded. I’m a little frigid around too much «energy flow», «blocked chakra» talk — pretty agnostic on the ethereal — and that’s been a problem for me in the past with finding value in healing practices. Beth talks a lot about connective tissue, fascia, scar tissue, and such, then she goes after it.
I’ve come to believe that there’s a limit to the success you can have without investing the time and work into fixing yourself. It takes a team. Beth is great to have on your team. Go see her at Restore on Cortland Ave.
