CDF Therapeutic Bodywork

I have had A LOT of massages all over the country, and in some of the finest spas. I’m done. Sergei has made the most progress on my chronic neck/​back tension of any previous therapist. I can’t wait to return. So greatful to be able to move my neck again!

I just had a fantastic massage session with Sergey Yurov. As a Yoga teacher and a competitive adult figure skater, I am very picky with finding a good massage therapist whom I am comfortable with. I had been trying to find one whom I can work with in Boston, but had no luck. My first massage session with Sergey was great — I am going back for sure. His deep tissue massage is skillful, instead of forceful like some massage therapists. He fished around to find different positions and different approaches to take care of me — greatly appreciated! I felt refreshed and comfortably sore in a very good way after the session. His flexibility for scheduling a session works really well for me. I am looking forward to meeting him again soon!

I went to see Craig for neck and back pain leading to headaches after researching massage therapists in the Boston area. He was not only knowledgeable and thorough but also easy to talk to. I have a better understanding of my specific issues and will be returning for additional therapy. Positive first massage experience!

If you want a massage that literally will change your life, this is the place. Craig’s knowledge of what the body needs is almost supernatural. I was working here in Boston for three weeks, chose Craig from Unilocal,and returned three times. The environment is professional but relaxed and friendly. He actually alleviated a major rotator cuff issue within two sessions. I highly recommend Craig, especially if you get massages frequently.

Booking an appointment was incredibly easy. The studio is easy to find, clean, very comfortable and stylish. Craig was awesome. A definite therapist of the body, he worked on my issue areas and I appreciated the communication he had with me, asking me to let him know when he was in the effected areas. The issue I went in with after a good nights sleep, it was mostly gone. He did a wonderful job, well worth the price and highly recommended!

After 3 months of intense half marathon training and the usual wear and tear of my job, I had a pulled hamstring and a knot in my shoulder that was making me miserable. I called last minute and luckily Craig had an evening cancellation and was able to work me in (there’s an easy online booking tool on their website). Craig greeted me and asked me what brought me in and then did an assessment of my injuries to figure out the best way to proceed. I’m sure he can do a massage for relaxation, but this was a true sports massage. He really focused on the areas which I came in for which has always been a frustration with other massage therapists. I left feeling amazing! I practice yoga so I usually feel like that’s enough to keep my body working properly, but after my massage I realize I need to see Craig at least once a month to keep things working. Had an amazing night of sleep last night!

Their masseuse, Sergey, is wonderful. He listens to your needs — which areas need extra attention, where to avoid — and he really gets the stress out of my muscles. I highly recommend them!

Love the 1 ½ massage. I’ve gotten lots of different types of massages but when I go to Craig I feel like I’m getting more than a massage, it’s more like physical theraphy. He knows where to find those pesky knots in your back and with a strong hand works them out, yeah, it’s sometimes painful but if you breathe you’ll feel great afterwards.

I had a massage with Sergey today and he was just fabulous. He really isolated my problem areas after asking me some initial questions and during the massage I realized I forgot to mention another area that was bugging me a lot lately. Good thing Sergey could read my mind b/​c he honed in on those tight areas too and made me feel like a new person :) It’s amazing what a great massage can do

I woke up yesterday morning with a stiff neck, sore back, and pain radiating down my arms. I found CDF Therapeutic Bodywork on Unilocal and was able to book a last minute appointment. Sergey took the time to ask me questions about where my pain was and did an EXCELLENT job in getting rid of some really tough knots throughout my body. I will definitely be going back… such relief! Thanks!

CDF Therapeutic Bodywork was recommended to me a couple of years ago by a physical therapist at Kennedy Brothers in Back Bay. He suggested massage as a therapy for dealing with the after-​effects of a vehicle accident — lingering neck pain. To be honest, up until my first visit to Craig I had always considered massage as more of a «spa» treatment than a therapeutic treatment. I’ve been visiting Craig ever since as my «go-​to» massage therapist. The great thing about his style is that it works for either relaxation (more of the «spa» type of thing) OR for therapy (to address specific muscle issues). I highly recommend him for anything you may need from stress management to addressing specific instances of pain, etc. He’s very comprehensive with researching exactly what you’re trying to address with the visit, instead of just giving you a «one-​massage-​fits-​all» type of treatment. 5-​stars!

Craig gave me an excellent massage three weeks ago. I have been training for a 8mile trail race and really needed help working out my sore and tight muscles. His therapeutic approach to massage is thoughtful and knowledgeable. Craig focused on my trouble spots, stretched me out and gave me a great all around massage. I felt great and his massage really made a difference in my recovery… I had a great race! Thanks Craig!

Not only am I a colleague, I am a client. a devoted one to be precise. To say that Craig knows his stuff is an understatement. He is intuitive, has FANTASTIC hands and does this amazing therapeutic stretching thing that makes you feel like 6 inches taller that you were walking in. Go See Craig. You will be so happy you did.

My neck has been an effed up disaster area for two years. Went to see Craig, and now it’s not. ‘Nuff said.

I’ve been going to see Craig for 6 months. Working with him has greatly improved my well-​being. He’s worked with me to improve my health and mood.
His space is nice and cozy, with nice lighting from a cute courtyard. Though the walls between rooms may be a bit then, you don’t notice other clients around you.
I fully recommend Craig to all my friends, and those looking for a very qualified and professional massage therapist.

I would like to thank Mr. Craig Faucher of CDF Therapeutic Bodywork/​Craig Faucher Massage… I sprained my ankle running months ago and have had what was thought to be a bone spur in my heal which has made it hard for me to train at all or even walk… I was beginning to think surgery was my only option, until Yesterday… when he worked some major magic on my foot and legs and it hasn’t hurt since… As a professional athlete I have had countless people work on my feet and legs including physical therapists and no one has given me results like he did. I highly recommend his services and I know I will be going to him on a regular basis…

Yay! Now that I know Unilocal probably won’t delete my review (they don’t tell their users or businesses, but users who only have one review will have their postings ELIMINATED without warning or explanations) I am happy to post a 5 star review for Craig Faucher and everyone that works for him at CDF Therapeutic Bodywork.
The most important things about Craig that set him apart are the fact that he is extremely results-​oriented in his approach to treating you, and he is passionate about doing a good job for his clients. During the [full hour — not 50 minute] session Craig will hunt down the cause of problems you may not even realize your body has, and take aim at them with as many techniques and tools as it takes to make an improvement. What he charges is extremely reasonable compared with other therapists in the area, showing he is as committed to his profession and his clients as he is to operating a sustainable and successful business.
BTW, if you call Craig and end up with one of his other therapists, don’t worry; you are in good hands. I have been treated by others at CDF besides Craig, and I feel that Craig makes very good and careful choices about who he allows to work on his clients. So skip a dinner out every once in a while and go see Craig, and then tell everyone you know how different it is from going to a spa. It’s not throwing $$ away on «pampering.» It’s a worthwhile investment.

So, I went to see Craig last week. The massage was nice, as always, and I got to say hello to his pet fish, «Red Fish.»
After leaving, I realized I was in SUCH a better mood. I got kinda freaked out! I was saying «Hi!» or smiling at people who I don’t know, and if you’re in Boston, you know that ain’t normal. I was feeling all peaceful, and didn’t even grumble at the parents and new undergrads who were clogging the Green Line… WTF?!
Craig must have found all my secret hateful zones and massaged away all the tension because I’m normally a much less-​plesant person ;)

My husband and I went to see Craig after a two year hiatus from getting a massage and he quickly reminded us why it should be a regular thing. Craig is clearly skilled and was able to employ some serious (and I mean SERIOUS) deep tissue massage to me and a not-​so-​deep massage to my other half. Now one week later, both of us have been raving about the benefits… a less sore back and a more flexible neck. On top of a fantastic massage, Craig is a nice guy who we felt completely comfortable with.

Craigs methodology includes one of the most important things about muscular therapy and massage, which so few therapists do. Asking questions. He was able to figure out that I was having displaced pain in my shoulders, and worked areas that I didn’t think would even help some upper back pain.
A few hours later and the pain had subsided, after he worked out knots in my shoulders and back using various techniques. The space in which he works is comfortable and relaxing, and he’s very easy to get a hold of to schedule appointments.
Too bad Unilocal doesn’t allow 5+ stars.
