About Siri Garfinkel, OTR/L

I’m a trained John F. Barnes Myofascial Release® therapist, and I have a passion for helping people heal from pain and reclaim their health and vitality.

I know what it’s like to struggle with debilitating pain and find little relief from conventional medicine and therapy.

When I was pregnant with my first child, the changes in my body triggered intense hip pain related to an old injury that hadn’t bothered me in years. I got some relief from Pelvic Floor PT, but I had a very challenging birth experience and significant pelvic floor damage.

When I became pregnant again 14 months later, traditional PT had not returned me back to baseline, and I found Myofascial Release therapy to address my symptoms and prepare for giving birth again.

Myofascial Release treatment resolved my hip pain and greatly improved my pelvic floor during pregnancy. I was also able to fully resolve my pelvic floor issues and hip pain through Myofascial Release therapy and learning to treat myself during my postpartum recovery.

That experience inspired me to train as a John F. Barnes Myofascial Release® therapist and leave my traditional inpatient Occupational Therapist job to support others in resolving pain and restoring function.
