about new york orthopedic massage (NYOM) NYOM was established in 2005 to promote a more comprehensive style of bodywork that can help those in pain as well as correct conditions before postural patterns lead to the chronic distortions that eventually become pain.

He has over ten years of massage experience and has advanced certifications in orthopedic massage and myoskeletal alignment techniques having studied directly with James Waslaski, Erik Dalton and Tom Myers, Internationally recognized pain and structural experts.

Mr. Dickerson practices three days a week in a Chelsea, New York office which also boasts two chiropractors, an acupuncturist and a craniosacral practitioner.

  Kiambu is committed to helping his clients understand and recover from their conditions, chronic pain, or injuries. Each of his clients plays a key role in his or her own healing process and will be given the tools and instruction to aid them in obtaining the self-empowerment to maintain a pain-free lifestyle.

His bodywork is based on the idea that while we can focus on a hurt knee or a "bad" back, people are not their symptoms. The work is aimed at balancing muscles, releasing pressure on joints and reorganizing the tissues that distort posture and create chronic pain. He also emphasizes establishing a new mind-body connection through neuromuscular exercises and breathing.

Kiambu always refers his clients to expert specialists when he is unable to fully resolve an issue. He looks forward to working with those wishing to make a life change not only physically but mentally.
