George Rodafinos, Minneapolis

From his studio inside Bhakti Wellness, George Rodafinos tends to his clients with techniques honed over the nearly three decades working as a massage therapist. Unlike many others, Rodafinos's specialty is a massage modality he created himself. He called it Functional Muscle Manipulation. The therapy builds on the principles of deep-tissue massage, but rather than causing pain, the soothing sessions release tension gently to encourage a stronger connection between mind and body.
