Functional Wellness

“Mo is uncommonly communicative and attentive. His style is casual but professional, and his approach to massage is unique and valuable. In my opinion, Mo Goldstein’s approach could result only from lifelong, genuine passion for kinesiology — passion that is grounded in practical interrogation of common physical human maladies particular to contemporary life. Mo seems to me guided by his passion, and he is further aided by keen instincts and a nuanced, mature understanding of how humans inhabit their bodies. I highly recommend him.”— Paul SayreComposer and Landscape Architect

I am so glad I found Mo! I have had both a tune up massages and tune up workout session with him to help with my overall body issues, especially where my back and feet are concerned. Mo is knowledgeable, kind, funny and super in tuned with the body’s ability to heal from within. He listens to you and what you need and comes up with reasonable ways to improve your well being. He also comes with a lot of extra information and contacts that can help with other areas of your life; you can get a full suite of help from him if needed. We definitely need more functional wellness in the world and I’m glad Mo is part of my healing journey - looking forward to many years ahead with him ☺️

I have been under the care of a Johns Hopkins physician in Baltimore for many years. One of the issues I have had is back pain due to scoliosis and osteoporosis. I was sent for steroid injections but due to the side effects of steroids and the possible failures of the treatments I decided to seek out alternative therapies.I am so glad I decided to take my daughters advice and treat myself to the bodywork of Mo Goldstein.Have you ever met someone who inspires you the better you; Better version of yourself? Mo is one of those rare humans. I didn't know he would facilitate so many of the changes I have been stuck working on unsuccessfully.I've read the other reviews and every word is true: his 'positive nature; "He genuinely cares"; "He helps ground you''; "Nurturing''.I felt so comfortable in his surroundings I found myself laughing and enjoying myself!Mo gently guided me through exercises that help change my posture and muscle tone. And last but not least I have enjoyed the relaxing power of carefully trained healing hands. AAAAH!I only wish I had done this sooner.Now at 71 years of age i'm getting pretty good at competing with my seven-year-old granddaughter in hopscotch. Smiling.... thank you Mo!

Mo Goldstein is an excellent functional therapist. Highly recommended to regain and optimize movement patterns.

I love Mo! I say that because he's a genuine and lovable guy! Not only does he have his own unique healing methods for functional movement and structure, but he's also deeply caring, empathetic and a great listener. He's creative in his approaches. I went in yesterday with a lot of emotions pent up from a crazy past few weeks and years! He was able to accept me as I am and help me walk through my emotions while working on my body. He helped me map out a vision for what my life will look like a year from now and feel it in my body. Then we worked on postures and getting into the body. Then he gave me a super nurturing and healing massage. It helped reset my body for this next cycle and I'm completely grateful! Read his bio and you'll learn why he has such reverence for the human body!

This was the best massage I have ever had in my life. And I have had some really amazing bodywork. I have been seeking this massage for years and years and years. I am a massage therapist myself and adore bodywork, but this session with Mo just introduced me to the next level. How can I describe? Integration, attuned, intuitive, skillful, technical, exacting, complete, safe, multidimensional, mobilizing, customized. But Something I learned from Mo was the value of communication. He introduced vocabulary to me at the beginning of the session which helped me communicate how I was feeling in the moment without it becoming distracting or too cerebral. I feel like I have new life after this session. Thank you so much Mo.

Mo is amazing and I can’t say enough positive things about him! A friend of mine recommended him to me due to reoccurring acute back pain that I suffer from way too often. It completely wipes me out to bed rest for weeks at a time! Given that I am self-employed, when I’m unable to work, I lose income. I decided that I needed to stop being a victim to this and look towards preventative measures and do whatever I can to avoid this from happening. I figure that if there’s something I can do to help the situation and feel better while doing it, why wouldn’t I?! I’m feeling positive that I’m on the right path with Mo’s guidance. I feel stronger than ever! Mo is absolutely wonderful to visit if you want to treat yourself to an amazing massage periodically, but I have several reasons that I recommend him for routine appointments.First, having a weekly appointment helps to make you accountable. When I leave him, I’m excited to go do the workouts / movements we have assembled and knowing that I’m going back in a week, it reminds me to do them consistently. If I took a lot of time off in between appointments, I know that I would let life get in the way and put off taking care of myself. Also, if time does happen to slip up on me, I know that I can get in a good workout at least once that week. Win-win!! I feel like the money spent is well worth every penny if I’m able to feel good and not miss work, but more importantly not miss out on life!Second, Mo is so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and motivational about what he does that it’s just so refreshing to be around him. He’s always happy to review any exercises / movements we have previously worked on as well as introduce new exercises. He also works with me on my everyday movements and stretching. Another helpful thing that he does is to follow up each appointment with links to things that we discussed during the appointment. I just love that his philosophy is to keep all workouts fun. With me, he helps to keep me grounded by not focusing on how many reps or time spent, it’s about being consistent and enjoying the process. It doesn’t feel like a dreaded workout doing it his way. I’ve never liked strength training so this has been a huge transition, but one I am greatly appreciating and actually enjoying.And the final HIGHLY recommended offering by Mo are his exquisite massages. He has such a nurturing and positive nature that you can’t help but to feel comfortable with him. He checks in to make sure you are enjoying the experience and I believe he genuinely cares. I’ve had numerous massage therapists, but choose him based on his kindness and nurturing manner as well as his technique. He’s the full package! I truly look forward to my time with Mo every week.

The combination of bodywork and movement coaching that Mo offers is outstanding!

If you want an amazing massage tailored specifically to you, Mo is the man!!! Fantastic!

Mo takes a holistic approach to massage therapy, physical wellness and health that keeps you active and healthy through stress, injuries, aging and life in general. He is the absolute BEST!!
