Many of you were fortunate enough to experience the wonderful massages of Peter Shor, one of the principal therapists at SPAyurveda, our Ayurvedic clinical facility in Leesburg, VA. So you know we’re not exaggerating when we say he is truly exceptional. For those of you who missed out, Peter combines his extensive training in myofascial release, deep tissue, Swedish massage and energy work with his profound knowledge of anatomy, his intuition, and his innate compassion to produce massages that are therapeutic in the true sense of the word. (Therapeutic adj. Having healing or curative powers; gradually or methodically ameliorative.) We’ve seen Peter’s massages bring grateful recipients back from the edge of surgery, speed recovery from injuries, restore mobility to “frozen” joints, decrease pain and improve flexibility throughout the musculoskeletal system.  We’ve also watched his massages lower stress levels, reduce anxiety and help folks regain their natural inner calm. He is gifted, that’s all there is to it. David and Debbie Mathis Ayurveda-MD

I originally went to Peter for general therapy, just wanting to enjoy the benefits of relaxing body work. Within that process I had a remarkable experience.  I¹ve had lifelong scoliosis. When the bed rest and drugs offered by conventional treatment proved unsatisfactory, I was told that surgery was my only other option. Still a young adult, I discovered, at that time, what was considered unconventional treatment, chiropractic. It was more helpful than drugs and bed rest. As I grew older, practicing yoga and Alexander lessons changed the way in which I used my body and improved my function even more. Although I was able to perform almost normally, including gardening, I still had scoliosis. When I¹d look down at my rib cage, the left side was about an inch further forward than the right side. When I sat in the car for long drives, the extreme difference in the level of my hips, one side resting against the ribs, became uncomfortable. At the age of 63, I did not expect my bone configuration to improve. After a few months of seeing Peter, however, I happened to look down and was surprised to see that the two sides of my ribs were almost perfectly aligned with each other! Now, an occasional tune-up keeps me untroubled.
                       
A second incident I¹d like to share with potential clients is about an emergency. I had a terrible pain in my abdomen after dinner one night. Since I have some chronic digestive concerns, it didn¹t surprise me. However, this time the discomfort wasn¹t letting up. As reluctant as I was to see a doctor for a stomach ache, I began considering going to the emergency room of our local hospital. I told my husband I was going to call Peter for distance healing and if I didn¹t get relief within a short time, I would go. Peter agreed to work on me. I lay down and again put my attention on breathing through the painful area. This time, after a few minutes, the pain stopped and in another minute the discomfort completely disappeared. I was about to phone Peter again to let him know I was all right and that he could stop. The phone rang. It was Peter saying that he felt a change and to ask how I was feeling.
                       
These two experiences with Peter¹s therapeutic body work should give people an idea about some ways he may be able to help them with their physical challenges. What I like additionally is that Peter will teach you exercises and techniques you can use to help yourself. He¹s also very sensitive to any physical conditions the client may suffer from. As you can see, I have a strong bias, hoping that others will consider going to him for help.

“Thanks again for today’s session. I really felt soooooo bouyant and filled with light following our session. It was amazing to me to be walking down the hallway, pain-free and really happy and easy. So, whatever else we accomplished, that was something I can hold onto the memory of.”
