About

Kurt Barbagallo, Owner, LMT

At Artfully Scientific Myofascial Release & Wellness Center in Lambertville, NJ, we believe that healing is both a science and an art. Our practice is grounded in the John F. Barnes method of Myofascial Release (MFR), a gentle yet deeply effective form of bodywork that helps release long-held tension, improve mobility, and restore balance to both body and mind. We specialize in working with people who feel like they’ve tried everything else and still haven’t found relief.

Our founder, Kurt Barbagallo, LMT, brings over 25 years of experience teaching psychology and behavioral science into every session. This foundation informs our trauma-informed, client-centered approach, where education and empowerment are central to the healing process. We don’t just want you to feel better—we want you to understand why and how your body is healing.

Our sessions are fully personalized and may include a blend of:

Structural Myofascial Release to address posture and alignment

Rebounding to gently invite the nervous system into regulation

Unwinding to allow emotional and physical patterns to release from within

We work with a wide range of conditions including:

Chronic pain and tension

TMJ and jaw pain

Tech neck and postural dysfunction

Migraine and headache relief

Pelvic and hip pain

Stress and nervous system dysregulation

Recovery from injury or trauma

What makes us different is our commitment to truly listening—to your words, your body, and your lived experience. You won’t find cookie-cutter protocols or one-size-fits-all treatments here. Instead, you’ll find a calm, compassionate space where your healing process is honored at every step.

Whether you’re looking for relief from chronic discomfort, support on your healing journey, or simply a deeper connection to your own body, we’re here to help you reconnect, release, and realign.

Services At Artfully Scientific in Lambertville, NJ, we offer expert, trauma-informed bodywork grounded in the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR) Approach. Every session is personalized and built around your body’s specific needs—there is no one-size-fits-all protocol here. Whether you're managing chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply looking to reconnect with your body, our services are designed to support real, lasting change.

Signature Services Include:

1. Myofascial Release Therapy (John F. Barnes Method)
Gentle, sustained pressure into the fascial system helps release long-held tension and restrictions that traditional massage often misses. MFR is ideal for treating chronic pain, postural issues, trauma recovery, and nervous system dysregulation.

2. Structural Myofascial Work
Targeted techniques focused on posture, alignment, and releasing fascial restrictions that affect joint mobility, gait, and chronic holding patterns. This work supports long-term improvements in functional movement and pain reduction.

3. Rebounding / Nervous System Regulation
A rhythmic, gentle rocking of the body that helps the nervous system shift from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest. Rebounding is deeply relaxing and mimics how animals "shake off" stress after a threat. It can be particularly helpful for those with anxiety, trauma, or high stress levels.

4. Unwinding
A somatic process that allows the body to move freely and spontaneously as it releases stuck emotional and physical trauma. This work requires no force and often taps into the body’s own ability to resolve long-standing tension when it feels safe and supported.

5. Pain Relief & Chronic Tension Management
From migraines and TMJ to hip, back, neck, or joint pain, we work with clients who have not found relief through traditional massage, physical therapy, or medical interventions. Myofascial Release helps address the root cause—not just the symptoms.

6. Posture and Movement Pattern Correction
Chronic posture issues often stem from fascial imbalances. We use gentle techniques and body awareness education to help you improve how you move, stand, and sit—without bracing or forcing.

7. Emotional Release & Trauma-Informed Bodywork
Your body holds your history. We create a safe, respectful space to help you process stuck trauma and emotion stored in the tissue, without judgment or pressure. This is where body and mind come together in healing.

8. Recovery from Surgery or Injury (Non-Acute)
Scar tissue is fascia. Post-surgical clients often benefit from MFR to improve mobility, reduce adhesions, and prevent long-term dysfunction. We work with clients recovering from orthopedic surgeries, childbirth, car accidents, and more.

9. Wellness & Maintenance Sessions
Even if you're not in pain, MFR can support nervous system balance, enhance flexibility, and keep stress from settling into the body. These sessions are ideal for anyone on a wellness journey who wants to stay ahead of chronic tension patterns.
