this is my business

I believe each of us is the accumulation of all our life experiences - our bodies reflect this totality of both our nature and nurture. Everything from accidents to education to adventures shows up somehow, somewhere in our beings and especially in our emotion anatomy. To address the emotional and pyschological, as well as the physical you, I employ various combinations of backwalking, Thai stretching, ashiatsu oriental bar therapy, deep Swedish and intuitive techniques.

I'm completely transformed after a session at Body Politic. It reinvigorates my body, mind, and spirit.

Andrea at the Body Politic has an amazing ability to go far beyond the "feel good" massages of other salons. Her intrinsic sense of how and where stress hides within the musculature allows her to pinpoint trouble spots and eliminate them. I credit her for getting me across the finish line of my first marathon: throughout my training she helped me manage muscle tension. She even got me through a painful bout of shin splints when I stupidly over-trained just weeks before the race. I've worked with many massueses, but Andrea is hands (and feet) above the rest.

Andrea Caplan knows how to vary massage techniques as needed by my tired bureaucratic body. I feel so much better after our weekly sessions.

I have never had the opportunity to try the other services but Ms. Caplan certainly knows how to do a variety of massage and works with the whole person very well.

Continual education and examination of massage techniques,old & new as well as the emphasis on what works for you as an individual rather than what the therapist thinks is best

The treatment is exactly tailored to current needs, and so can vary from one visit to the next. The environment is friendly, very clean and welcoming.

Me. I'm her - Andrea Caplan. I get to vote for myself, right? I love my business, my location, and most of all, my clients. So, I've got my vote!

Andrea is just about the best massage therapist ever. She is incredibly dedicated and professional; her back-walking is the bomb!
