Marcus DeGrazia offers an innovative approach to healing by combining bodywork, acupuncture, craniosacral, visceral manipulation, and movement arts.

Treatment Approach

In my practice, I tend to work from the “outside in”. This means that I use body work, craniosacral and visceral manipulation as therapeutic and diagnostic tools that lead my treatment strategy. You can plan on 20 to 30 minutes of body work followed by needling and a resting period of another 30 or 40 minutes. After various finishing techniques I like to show you exercises that can improve your condition. We often see immediate results in my clinic and together we work towards sustained improvement.

MORE ABOUT MY PRACTICE

Techniques

  • Tui Na

    A stand-alone modality of body work that reintegrates muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones. In China, Tui Na is considered “medical massage.”

  • Acupuncture

    Thin, stainless steel, sterile needles are used to marshal the body’s resources to initiate and quicken healing.

  • Craniosacral and Visceral Manipulation

    These therapies employ slower, subtler techniques that can affect the structures and rhythms of the body at their deepest levels.

  • Cupping

    Cupping is a complimentary therapy used to separate the superficial musculature from the deeper structures to restore circulation and proper range of motion.

  • Electro-Acupuncture

    Gentle electric stimulation is added to acupuncture needles to “shake free” chronically impinged tissue common in old and stubborn injuries.

  • Gua Sha

    Gua Sha is a complimentary therapy similar to cupping but covers a much broader area. This technique releases stagnate fluids that are stuck in the tissue causing pain and lack of range of motion.

  • Moxabustion

    The process of burning herbs close to the body’s surface to provide a unique and deeply penetrating heat that unbinds chronic soft tissue injuries.

Internal Arts : the way towards recovery and self-discovery.

My practice asks that you take an active role in your recovery. Ideally, this means taking on a short, daily practice of easy-to-do exercises that will transform your condition. I can create big changes in my clinic and these exercises allow you to take command of your own heath and wellness.

MORE ABOUT INTERNAL ARTS

  • “I started seeing Marcus in the summer of 2011 for women’s health issues, digestive problems, a torn meniscus, migraines, and insomnia. I was, to put it plainly, a complete mess. I’d been going to Western doctors for over ten years to deal with these problems, and spent thousands of dollars and oodles of time I didn’t have on procedures and appointments that never worked. But through consistent appointments and a regimen of qi gong exercises, Chinese herbs, and a mindful diet, I started feeling better within a few months under Marcus’s care. I moved to the Hudson Valley this past summer, but quickly realized he had a practice here, too! I’m thrilled to be able to continue working with Marcus on my health. He is a dedicated, hard-working, phenomenally gifted practitioner.”

  • “Marcus DeGrazia is hands down the best in his practice and a master healer. He’s solution oriented with strategies that eliminate pain, tension and reset mobility effectively with an upside - I’ve had more clarity and better posture too.”

  • “I am a 35 year old professional dancer who simply said, has put her body through a lot of physical stress. I was first introduced to Marcus’ practice in 2009, when I had tired all my go-to methods of body work trying to solve a chronic lower back/hip problem. After one visit I was feeling better, and after a few visits I was convinced Marcus was unbelievable at what he does. Not only has Marcus helped me resolve numerous physical ailments over the years, but his practice has been emotionally supportive as well.  At the time I met Marcus, I was going through a divorce. The stress of it manifested itself both physically and emotionally, and I was energetically depleted.  From the very first treatment, I have found Marcus’ practice to be a nurturing healing ground for whatever ails me. He is amazing, and I literally trust him with my life!”

  • “Thanks to multiple car accidents and other calamities, I've had the opportunity to be treated by many fine manual medicine practitioners over the last several decades. It's not been unusual for me to travel hundreds and sometimes even thousands of miles in search of high quality treatment. That we have someone of Marcus' caliber in the Hudson Valley is a blessing. To find a practitioner of this quality who combines acupuncture, manual therapy (tui na) and therapeutic exercise (qi gong), you'd normally have to go to a big city like New York or San Francisco or China itself.”
