Boston Massage & Bodywork

Boston Massage & Bodywork is a clinical massage therapy and acupuncture practice in Brighton that starts by figuring out which muscles are behind a client’s pain and then treats the problem. Clients come in with issues such as a neck that won’t turn or an elbow aggravated by playing music, and services include orthopedic and deep tissue massage, myofascial release, cupping, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. Every client leaves with homework to keep the problem from coming back.

Owner Keli Lemoi has more than a decade of clinical massage experience and a doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine from the New England School of Acupuncture at MCPHS, with a concentration in Japanese-style acupuncture. She works with athletes, musicians and business professionals. The team includes Ravi, a massage therapist with a social work background and lymphatic drainage certification, and Laila, a former arts administrator and dancer trained at Downeast School of Massage.
