Personal philosophy:
By taking responsibility for our well-being, we can ensure it will last. Be empowered and pro-active, as opposed to waiting for something to go wrong. If you find you have recurring aches and pains, seeking relief for them now will pay off manyfold later on.
Many people still tend to take better care of their cars than themselves - that should change!

Philipp Vergés is a Massage Therapist, Jin Shin Jyutsu® and Shiatsu Practitioner who graduated from New York's prestigious Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences in April 2005. He is licensed in New York State, nationally certified (NCTMB), and a professional member of the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association).

Phil practices both in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, treating clients from all walks of life: office workers, athletes, coaches, dancers, pregnant women, nurses, parents of cancer patients, Alzheimer's patients; professionals as well as students.

His dedication to crafting the best personal treatment plan for you, using his varied knowledge and experience, will help restore the unity of body, mind, and spirit, and allow you to feel integrated once again.

A former ballet dancer, Phil has performed widely in NYC, all across the US, Canada, South America, and in his native Switzerland. Being a performer has taught him first-hand the great power of the mind/body connection. While still dancing, he first sought out alternative health care therapy for a stomach issue that several doctors could not help him resolve. From that experience his interest in the field grew, leading him to pursue it as a career.

He continues his education and currently studies Alexander Technique, which plays a big part in his approach to bodywork, as well as the quality of his touch, and practices yoga.
