Each session offers a holistic approach built upon the recognition of two core truths: the individual’s inherent ability to heal and the fundamental interconnectedness of the body’s various systems.

The methodology works to identify and release the specific blocks inhibiting the body’s innate ability to heal and as a result offers my clients relief from their pain and dysfunction and leaves them healthier and better prepared for life’s challenges and stresses.

To ensure accessibility, you can choose to receive your restorative session in the tranquil environment of my professional office, or you may utilize my concierge home service for maximum convenience and healing in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Musculoskeletal Therapy

Back Pain, Neck Pain, Headaches, TMJ pain, Joint Pain(s), and more.

Using holistic manual therapy, corrective exercise when necessary and education, I address musculoskeletal issues by gently releasing tension and restrictions in the muscles, joints, and connective tissues. This helps restore proper alignment and movement, reducing pain and stiffness.

By improving circulation and supporting nervous system function, the body’s natural healing processes are enhanced. The result is increased mobility, strength, and overall physical comfort.

Infant & Children's Issues

Birth trauma, Flat Head Syndrome, Torticollis, Eating disorders, Ear Infections, Colic, Scoliosis, Enuresis and more.

My specialized approach offers profound benefits for infants and children grappling with challenges stemming from the birth process or early life stresses and strains.

Through gentle, non-invasive cranial-sacral and manual therapy techniques, we effectively address the subtle yet powerful tensions and compressions that adversely impact their growth and wellness.

My treatments are calm and nurturing, helping little ones feel more comfortable, sleep more soundly and provide a healthy foundation to grow and thrive.

Nervous System & Visceral Balancing

Stress and Anxiety, Vertigo, Gastric Reflux, Diaphragm Issues, Constipation, IBS and more.

Deep-seated stress is not just a mental state, but a physical imbalance often rooted in the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and the surrounding visceral (organ) tissues.

By utilizing a combination of gentle, specialized manual therapies that specifically address the primary components of the stress response we can often calm the overactive sympathetic nervous system (responsible for "fight-or-flight") and activate the parasympathetic system ("rest-and-digest"), thus helping the ANS reset and re- balance.

Furthermore, the techniques help to release tension and restrictions within the viscera, such as the diaphragm, stomach, or intestines, as these areas often hold patterns of stress and contribute to chronic symptoms like anxiety, loss of focus, sleep difficulties and digestive upset to name a few.

Woman's Health

Pregnancy Care, Pelvic Girdle Pain, Menstrual Cramping, Incontinence and more.

My approach is uniquely suited to support women through the challenges of pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, and postpartum recovery, especially issues related to episiotomy scarring and urinary urgency. During pregnancy, gentle techniques help balance the pelvic girdle and lumbar spine, accommodating the growing fetus and relieving common discomforts like sciatica and round ligament pain.

For chronic pelvic pain or post-episiotomy complications, we focus on carefully and delicately releasing restrictions and tension patterns in the viscera (pelvic organs) and the surrounding connective tissues, which can be severely restricted by scar tissue or trauma.

By improving the mobility and communication within the pelvis, this specialized work can significantly reduce pain, address muscle imbalances, and improve bladder and bowel function, including the reduction of postpartum urinary urgency.

This fosters a more comfortable pregnancy, smoother delivery preparation, and a more complete recovery.

Testimonials

Chelle S.

“Jim was a big part of relieving a lot of the stress I had after having my first baby. My son had some digestive issues and trouble being comfortable & sleeping well, so I sought after healing that would help his body function a little more optimally, without constant interventions with gas drops, pain medicine, etc.

We started seeing Jim when he was just a few weeks old and after the first session my son was so calm and relaxed. Jim was super gentle, patient, and a natural with my son. I immediately had so much trust in him and his work.

We looked forward to seeing Jim every few weeks for almost 6 months. After my daughter was born, Jim took the time to come by our apartment to work with her as well, because he was so fantastic with our son.

I can’t recommend him enough to all parents who want to take a more natural healing approach to helping their babies!"

Erica S.

"Jim incredibly skilled, but also thoughtful and well rounded as he combines osteopathy with other practices like cranial sacral and physical therapy.

He is genuinely kind as he actually checks in after appointments and actually wants you to get better, not just keep coming back. I’ve had prolonged back pain that had been unable to stand straight and he had me walking within a few hours.

I’ve sprained both ankles and he was able to realign compounded issues. I can’t imagine a world with injuries and no where to turn.

I recommend Jim to everyone I care about."

Joanne S.

“Having been a patient of James Harwood for over ten years, I can confidently say that my ability to lead an active, physically healthy, engaged life in New York City, has been significantly impacted by my treatment with him.

He is an highly attuned healer who astutely listens to one’s needs and responds with skilled, experienced techniques informed by years of training and hands on experience with clients.

I highly recommend Jim Harwood with the greatest confidence; for as a client, you will be treated with the skill and experience of the best physical therapy that you’ll find anywhere. Hands down!”

Sabrina B.

“I cannot recommend Jim enough. From the moment you meet him, you feel his calm and caring presence. He takes the time to really listen and understand your personal story, which makes all the difference in his treatment.

What sets Jim apart is his ability to look at the whole body and find the root cause of pain or dysfunction, rather than just treating the surface symptoms. His sessions are gentle yet powerful — whether it’s myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, or guided movement, he intuitively chooses what your body needs.

I leave each appointment not only feeling relief from physical pain, but also with a greater sense of balance and ease.

Jim’s warm and supportive style makes you feel completely comfortable, and you can tell he genuinely cares about helping his clients heal.

Thanks to his guidance and treatments, I’ve experienced real, lasting improvements. If you’re looking for someone who combines expertise, compassion, and a truly holistic approach, Jim is the best.”

Lola G.

“My children and I have been seeing Jim for 4-5 years! No one I would trust more with them than Jim. He is kind and gentle yet efficient.

My older son is neurodivergent and Jim has done great work helping to regulate his nervous system. When I was pregnant with my second and suffering from back and hip pain, Jim was my first call and offered much relief.

He was also my first call when I was home from the hospital for my newborn, to make sure he had no stiffness from being in utero. He has done multiple at home sessions for both my children which is truly life saving considering their schedules are jam packed.

Jim is the epitome of a healer. He is kind, honest and flexible. Truly the best!”
