Joy Matalon Offers CranioSacral Therapy in Ossining and Garrison

Joy Matalon

Joy Matalon is now offering CranioSacral Therapy as part of a multidisciplinary practice in Ossining, as well as at an additional location in Garrison. A New York State-licensed massage therapist for more than 30 years, Matalon is certified in CST through The Great River CranioSacral Institute.

“I recently joined a wonderful group of experienced therapists and learning specialists in Ossining,” she says. “I’m very excited to work in this new practice, which offers occupational therapy, academic support, executive functioning coaching and psychological testing. It’s exciting that we can collaborate together, offering bodywork to clients to optimize their mind-body integration.”

Characterized by “gentle touch and deep listening,” CST is especially nourishing for children and adults at a time of social distancing, Matalon says. In her sessions, she incorporates Centers for Disease Control best practices for health and safety. “Both the client and I wear a facemask the whole time we are together. In addition I wear a face shield while working, and I use gloves when touching the face. The sessions continue to be comfortable and offer profound relaxation.”

CST enhances central nervous system function to eliminate pain and stress while strengthening the immune system, Matalon says.

 “A session can be described as a physically connected meditation in which the central nervous system is supported and stress, trauma and physical restrictions can resolve,” she says.

Locations: 100 Executive Blvd., Ste. 203, Ossining, NY, and Garrison, NY. For more info, call 914.519.8138 or visit JOY MATALON.
