The OMBE facility is a haven of calm and tranquility on Boylston St. in the heart of Copley Square, easily accessible from the Copley stop on the Green Line, or the Back Bay stop on the Orange Line. For after-hours appointments be sure that someone knows that you are coming, because you need to be buzzed in for access to the building. \r

I have been to OMBE several times to be treated for upper back pain by Dr. Erik Vose. Dr. Vose's takes a whole-body approach to treatment, addressing not just alignment issues but muscle and joint problems as well. During the first visit he asked tons of questions and took the time to not only make sure that he fully understood the problems that I'd been having, but also to explain the cause of the pain to me, and what his approach to treating it would be. Since the pain I had been experiencing was due to muscular tightness from years of waitressing and cycling on an ill-fitting bike, rather than alignment issues, the treatment consisted almost entirely of tissue work, to loosen and stretch the muscles that were the source of my pain. He taught me maintenance stretches to do each day, and those in conjunction with the gains made in only four or five visits has drastically improved my comfort and quality of life. \r

I would highly recommend Dr. Vose to anyone who is interested in taking an active role in improving their physical wellbeing.
Pros: public transit accessibility, atmosphere, care
