A Duke physician referred me to Owen for relief of neck pain and accompanying headaches. It was immediately clear that Owen is an extraordinarily gifted bodyworker. After working with Owen, I rarely experience headaches and continue to rely on his sensitive and compassionate care for periodic tune-ups.

There are massage therapists and then there is Owen.
Owen is well-trained and his unique myofascial approach helps my patients reach their therapeutic goals more quickly. In fact, this realization profoundly shifted the treatment paradigm I use in my own practice.
In addition to referring out my own patients, I sought Owen’s treatment for hip pain that had sidelined my training for a marathon. After just one treatment, I was able to resume long runs and ultimately finished my marathon.

Seventeen years ago an automobile acident caused severe soft tissue injuries to my neck and jaw. After two years doctors and therapists advised me to expect no further progress; I resigned myself to living with chronic TMJ pain.
When we moved to Chapel Hill ten years ago, I discovered Owen Dodge. He works from the conviction that change and growth are possible for everyone. Owen has enlisted me as an active participant in my own healing–resulting in dramatic reduction of my chronic TMJ pain.

I sought Owen Dodge’s help for my back and TMJ pain. Over the course of three Myofascial Release sessions, Owen helped me to understand what was causing my symptoms and how I could work with my body on my own to alleviate them. To date, six years later, neither the back nor the TMJ pain has returned. I highly recommend Owen to anyone.

Owen’s work is both gentle and deep, and even more importantly, illuminating. As a therapist myself, I am always on the lookout for techniques that work, and for bodyworkers who are committed to their craft. I leave my sessions with Owen not only feeling better, but having learned something about myself as well. That is a rare gift.

Owen’s Myofascial Release treatment helped resolve my recurrent shoulder and neck problems. His work also helped me become aware of and deal with some emotional issues that I hadn’t even been aware of. He has a gift!
Mike Stanley, Engineer
The work that Owen has done with me has been phenomenal! It has given me an avenue to experience “self” from an entirely different perspective. I have been comfortable with, and made reference to, mind/body connections in my professional practice. I have found a deeper understanding of that connection through my work with Owen. Learning more about my body through concentrated awareness to specific points has released muscle tension and soreness, but also allowed insight to emotional work at a much deeper and, thus, profoundly life altering way.

Owen manages my chronic pain with his unique and excellent skills in detecting and releasing areas where, through scarring or overuse, my body’s first preference is not to move.
As a bonus, his efforts give me much improved balance and strength for pursuing my ballroom dancing. I am thrilled with the results of his further training as a myofascial release therapist, and give him an unqualified recommendation for his professionalism and abilities.

Chronic low back pain motivated me to go see Owen Dodge at Triangle Body Therapy for Myofascial Release. Other things helped my pain temporarily, but the pain completely went away after my first appointment with Owen. Six months later, my back still feels great! Owen is professional, knowledgeable and made me feel very at ease. He is also very helpful with exercise advice and stretching techniques that I can do at home. I highly recommend him to anyone. Even if you are not in chronic pain Myofascial release is something everyone should experience at Triangle Body Therapy.

Hi Owen. A quick message to tell you that I feel the best this evening that I have in a long time. Your hard work and calm presence have worked wonders. The good that you have done is incredible. Thank you for being there.

I have had some remarkable – somewhat miraculous – positive changes in my knee, shoulder and jaw since my first Myofascial Release treatment. As a skeptical scientist-type, I have been waiting to see if they are “real” or placebo. They are real!
