Therapeutic bodywork for aging with agility and recreating with skill.
Hello, I’m Beth O’Dowd — owner of Inside Out Movement & Massage and a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner®. For over 30 years I have worked with people experiencing pain, injuries, movement limitations, or who simply want to improve how they move through everyday life and prevent future issues.
While hands-on massage techniques are valuable, I discovered that teaching people how to move better with less effort and more awareness often prevents these issues from arising in the first place. The combination of therapeutic bodywork and the Feldenkrais Method® helps improve proprioception — your ability to sense yourself from the inside out.
Power comes from balanced function and organization and coordination of your whole self rather than strong individual muscles. It is the functional relationship of muscles to movement that matters, not the inherent strength of any one muscle.
I am trained in a wide variety of modalities including Myoskeletal Therapy, Structural Integration, Neuromuscular and Myofascial Therapy, Muscle Energy Techniques, and Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® (ATM) and Functional Integration (FI).
Small group classes (or private ATM) focusing on specific themes — spine, hips, shoulders, balance, breathing, or athletic performance.
Whether you’re an athlete, a skier, a hiker, a yogi, or simply someone who wants to stay active and comfortable as you age — this work helps you move with more intelligence and less pain.
Improve performance, recover smarter, and reduce injury risk by learning efficient movement patterns instead of relying on brute force.
Maintain mobility, balance, and independence. Learn to move with less strain so daily activities and recreation stay enjoyable for decades.
Address the root movement habits that contribute to chronic pain. Many clients experience lasting relief from back, neck, shoulder, and hip issues.
Skiers, hikers, climbers, and river enthusiasts — move with more resilience in the mountains you love.
A sophisticated system of somatic education that uses gentle movement and directed attention to improve how you organize yourself — physically, neurologically, and functionally.
The Feldenkrais Method is not exercise, stretching, or treatment in the traditional sense. It is a learning process based on physics, neuroscience, biomechanics, and human development.
Through small, curious movements and focused attention, you uncover habitual patterns of unnecessary tension and effort. You develop a richer internal map of yourself and discover new, more efficient movement options.

Awareness Through Movement® lessons are designed to direct and grow our awareness of “how” we move to improve the quality of movements. Better use of our structure with less unnecessary effort and stress can be essential to improving chronic pain conditions, optimizing athletic pursuits, and maintaining mobility as we age. Improving function can reduce pain and injury.
Group or individual verbal lessons. You lie or sit comfortably and follow gentle movement sequences. You learn by sensing differences and improving coordination.
Private, hands-on lessons tailored precisely to your needs. I use gentle touch and movement to help your nervous system discover easier, more organized patterns.
Whether you’re dealing with pain, want to improve your athletic performance, or simply want to move through life with more ease and awareness — I’d love to work with you.
Beth personally speaks with every new client before scheduling. This short conversation helps her understand your goals, history, and any specific concerns so she can prepare the most helpful session for you.
You can request a session using the form on this site, or simply call or email. Beth will reach out to have a brief intake conversation (usually 10–15 minutes). After that, she will schedule your first session at a time that works for both of you.
