I have been seeing Jessica for Acupuncture for years. I started to see her for an ankle injury. I had a lot of scar tissue built up, but over time the swelling went down and I w...

Best Sports Medicine Services in Boston 4/9/2009

This place is the best well-kept secret in Boston. The space is amazing-a sunny, serene studio with a panoramic view of Copley Square. Without the services at OMBE, I wouldn't have been able to train as hard as I do and stay pain and injury free. I had been searching for a chiropractor since moving from California, and finally found Dr. Erik Vose. I have also been loyal to OMBE's massage services. Their chiropractor doesn't take insurance, but he's well worth it as he spends over an hour with me at each chiropractic session, includes massage and exercise rehabilitation in his sessions. I feel like I've made more progress working with him after a few sessions than I did when I just had adjustments. I've also done their Pilates mat classes and private Pilates reformer sessions. It took me a long time to find experienced instructors that were up to par with the west coast. I'm continually impressed with the high level of service and friendly staff. Pros: Personalized Service, Beautiful Space, Friendly Staff more

Personal Trainer - focused and organized 4/8/2009

Jaylin is very focused and organized when it comes to training but she doesn’t hide behind some stern sergeant attitude. She is open, friendly and generous. Instead of just telling me what to do, she explained why we do certain exercises, in certain orders and so on… She made it easy for me to go and train on my own if I wanted to, except that I can never get the best out of me like she does. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a real workout, one that moves you as well as your body to train with Jaylin immediately. You’ll be glad you did. Pros: Open, Friendly, Generous, Real workout Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

Incredible Massage 4/8/2009

Jen is amazing. I went to see her for my hips. I am a cyclist so my hip flexors have been incredibly tight which was causing a lot of other muscle imbalances in my legs and back. Jen is great, especially with deep tissue massage. She has helped me release my hips and my whole body feels better. Pros: Organic, Convenient, Stress relieving Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

Acupuncture that is good for the body and soul 4/8/2009

I love receiving acupuncture at OMBE. It is the most relaxing experience of my entire week. I started seeing Jessica because I was feeling very fatigued and my thyroid was not functioning well. I had already seen several thyroid and hormonal specialist and was taking very expensive medication, but I wasn't feeling any better and my thyroid levels had not improved. Immediately after receiving acupuncture, I felt better. My body and my thyroid are functioning so well now that I was able to stop taking thyroid medication. Acupuncture is amazing but Acupuncturists are highly individual. Jessica is a great practitioner - I highly recommend her. Pros: effective, relaxing, easy, great Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

Amazing yoga class this morning 4/3/2009

I have been searching for the right kind of yoga where there's a balance between breathing, strength, and stretching and I finally found it! I really loved Rachael's class and would suggest it to anyone! Pros: Loved Rachael's class, great flow, beautiful space! Cons: I live 45 minutes away but totally worth it! more

excellent teacher, convenient location, beautiful space 3/29/2009

I have only been here for yoga, but look forward to trying out their other services-- massage, acupuncture, etc. The setting is peaceful, nicely decorated, and inviting. The view of Trinity Church across the street is neat, too. The yoga class was an hour long and a great way to start the day. I felt taken care of by the teacher. It was physically challenging, relaxing, meditative. There are yoga mats, etc. here so it saves you having to carry your mat around, a nice perk. Pros: awesome yoga, next to T, nice view more

Beautiful Facility and Great Nutrition Counseling 3/20/2009

I visited OMBE to meet with Laura Foresta, a registered dietitian. The facility is beautiful and relaxing with free tea and plenty of space to sit and relax. Inside Laura's private consultation room my meetings have changed my outlook on nutrition permanently. I lost 65 pounds and have been keeping it off for 10 years and yet I still continue to learn a great deal from Laura and have never felt better. Her approach to nutrition is non-militant and extremely compassionate. But don't let that fool you, in the month that I have been seeing Laura weekly, I have shed an additional 10 pounds. And I know that I will keep them off because of the support and information that Laura is constantly providing through follow-up emails and meetings. Even if you know what to eat, meeting with Laura can help you actually do it AND learn even more...I highly recommend OMBE and Dietitian Laura Foresta! Pros: Relaxing atmosphere and effective diet counseling more

Best massage in Boston! 3/12/2009

I have suffered with chronic neck pain for many years, which often led to migraine headaches. I have searched for a good massage for just as many years. Jen Hernandez at OMBE in Back Bay provided me with the best neck and shoulder massage I have ever had! My range of motion dramatically improved, and my headaches are gone. I plan to be a regular on Jen's massage table! more

Outstanding Prenatal (and Regular) Pilates in Copley Square 3/9/2009

This green studio in Back Bay offers excellent services in a friendly, pleasant space. A 3 minute walk from the Copley T stop, it's super easy to get to from Brookline or Bkline Village. I am extremely frugal, and I find the price to quality ratio at OMBE outstanding. \r \r I have taken pilates at OMBE with Lisa since late 2007 (for fitness and to recover from a serious leg injury--Lisa was also my physical therapist post-op). Not only an expert at physical fitness, she is attentive, thoughtful, and a lot of fun. I am now 7 months pregnant and have been doing prenatal pilates twice a week since week 8--I feel wonderful, and amazingly have no back pain or abdominal diastesis (a common problem)! Unlike other prenatal classes I have taken in other venues, I still get a great workout (while modifying the exercises for safety). I can't say enough good things about my experience at OMBE! Pros: Easy T access, Great management, Excellent instruction. Cons: Sometimes the elevator acts funny. more

Great place for healing your body and mind 3/1/2009

I was struggling with awful low back pain for a year. The ain was in total control of my life. I would kind of heal (have bearable pain to get through the day) and then I would have worse flare-up than before. Medications were not working, physical therapy was not helping anymore. My doctor mentioned the word ""surgery"" a couple of times and I told him I wanted to try acupuncture before the cortisone shots, he said that he had never seen anyone in my condition improve with it. Jessica started me on acupuncture with a very positive and hopeful attitude. The procedures decreased the pain immediately. It was also helping me emotionally. I got my faith and hope back. I also took Chinese herbs prescribed by Jessica. After the pain was less, physical therapy started working better too. The pilates classes with Lisa made my muscles stronger and improved my condition even further. Lisa was very attentive to my issue and was always making me aware of the exercises I should avoid. \r I've been pain free for more than a year, I finally stabilized. The people at the OMBE made one of the best back doctors in this country a believer in alternative forms of treatments. \r I also love the ""Go green"" policy at the center. If you are looking for a place where good professionals would really care about you - this is it. more

Highly Intelligent,Competent Holistic Health Professionals 2/25/2009

The professionals at OMBE Integrative Health Center in Boston are remarkably knowlegable, skilled and caring. I sought their care about one year ago, as an acupuncture and pilates client, before undergoing hip replacement surgery, and attribute my recovery to their preoperative and postoperative care. Not only did they help to prepare me for the surgery but they were with me every step of the way afterwards. Acupuncture helped with both my physical recovery and my emotional balance. Pilates strengthened me before surgery and proved to be invaluable afterwards. I would recommend that anyone facing surgery...be it minor or major, think about consulting with the caring and competent professionals at OMBE. I attribute the speed of my recovery to them. Pros: professionalism, lovely surroundings, relatedness, clinical skills Cons: cannot think of any more

Best Boston Personal Trainer - Only 12 weeks to get my body back 2/24/2009

I was in a hurry to get back into shape after having my first child. I discovered Jaylin on by her website. Not only does she seem to know everything when it comes to exercise and training but she is both motivating and inspiring. She has me smiling through the sweat even when I show up exhausted. I always leave in a good mood. It only took me 12 weeks to get back to my previous shape but I continued training with Jaylin because it was actually fun. It?s been two years now and I?m expecting again. With Jaylin by my side, I?m confident that I will be able to keep training up until my delivery date. Melissa 37 Pros: Great Results, Good time more

Jen's massage will make you feel amazing 2/19/2009

Jennifer Hernandez recently gave me a pre-natal massage. I was having trouble with some back pain and other issues associated with pregnancy. Jen really listened to what was bothering me and really gave me an incredible massage. Just the right pressure and she was very careful and concerned the entire time. She made sure I was comfortable and felt secure. My experience was wonderful and I walked out feeling great. I have to say it was the best massage I've had (after trying many other places). I would highly recommend her services to anyone. more

Dr. Vose saved my life 2/16/2009

An old injury to my shoulder had left me unable to do most daily tasks.. Putting a shirt on, waving to a friend, even driving a car. A friend recommended that I go see Dr. Erik Vose, a chiropractor at the OMBE office. \r After only a few visits with Dr. Vose, I felt like I had my arm back. My quality of life has improved and I can finally wave to all my friends again.\r I can't thank him enough\r more

Off the Charts Chiropractic!!! 2/12/2009

I am an athletic male, age 26 and I pride myself on conditioning by enjoying the process of self-preservation. Although I do not follow a strict regiment, varying workouts, years of competitive sports, outdoor activities, and self-motivation keep me fit.\r \r Two months before I first visited Dr. Erik Vose at OMBE Integrative Health Center, I injured my left shoulder badly causing chronic shoulder pain. Range of motion in my left arm decreased, and pain levels grew unbearable, leaving my left arm virtually crippled. After just one session with Dr. Vose I noticed immensely improved flexibility, and far less pain. His treatments ranged from ultrasonic massage, and electrical stimulation, to gentle, hands-on muscular, and skeletal manipulation. Through continued, and regular therapy with Dr. Vose my shoulder returned to 100 percent in just one month.\r \r Though it wasn't long before I dislodged a rib in my middle upper back, initially causing breath-taking pain, and then very limited rotational ability. My torso became fixed at my waste ? I was stiff and in incredible discomfort.\r \r Dr. Vose saw me right away, and by the middle of my first session he had gingerly massaged the dislodged rib back into place. Dr. Vose's gentle, breathy voice, and firm, healing touch made the whole experience rather pleasant. As I felt the rib relocate, a sigh of relief overtook me. A genuine thank you to Dr. Vose is in order because he drastically improved my quality of life!\r \r Cheers,\r Ben Pros: Total Package Cons: Parking more

Top Notch Boston Chiropractor 2/10/2009

Dr. Erik Vose defines a new class of chiropractic health care. He's really a soft-tissue specialist correcting the muscles around the sore joints with massage, ultrasound, and cold fusion technologies. His technique truly diverges from the traditional back-cracking chiropractic dogma, allowing the body to heal more naturally and more permanently. It's not surprising, therefore, that Dr. Vose has not set up shop in a traditional linoleum-walled torture chamber typical of many cold-handed chiropractors. Rather, OMBE is a clean, gorgeous, and warm facility complete with hard wood floors, home furnishings, a soothing tea bar, and an outstanding view of Copley Square. This place defines classy. Dr. Vose is an integral part of OMBE, sharing the space with other practitioners (facial acupuncture, deep tissue massage, prenatal pilates, vinyasa yoga, etc...) who work together to create a full-body experience for their guests. I was most surprised when Dr. Vose explained (and then proved to me) that he treats all joints in the body -- not just my neck and my back. His clinical experience with athletic and sports injury fit my needs perfectly, and he has completely cured a sore knee that had been bothering me for almost a year. I've recommended Dr. Vose to my friends and family, and I'm sure you will not be disappointed. He is not only a gentleman with a smile, but a deeply caring provider, with the expertise to back it up. more

Excellent chiropractic treatments 2/8/2009

I visited OMBE for chiropractic treatments with Dr Erik Vose and I was extremely pleased with his professionalism and friendly nature. I intend to look into the other services that are offered at OMBE. It's a really nice place too. Pros: very clean, professional, made me feel at ease, offer tea while you are waiting Cons: I guess parking might be an issue (although I do not drive and there is a greenline T stop one block away) more

Jaylin is the best personal trainer I've ever had! 2/6/2009

I remember when Jaylin first showed me these ropes (she calls it a suspension trainer) and asked me to pull by body weight up practically in mid air. At first, I thought I could never do such an exercise. Thankfully, she talked me through it and now I get excited when we work on the ropes. I have learned how to do a number of exercises that I never would have thought I could and it shows. I?m proud to tell people my age now (62) as they are always more impressed with the shape I am in. Pros: Encouraging, Friendly, Supportive, Intelligent more
