Ethan Radstone is an intuitive body healer and physical rehabilitation therapist. Radstone has long struggled to label his profession, as he plays a different role with each client. He has traveled around the world with exceptional teachers from China, India, the United Kingdom, and South America. “Each taught me philosophies of living and healing from their generations of knowledge,” Radstone said.
His life’s purpose has been shaped by a series of events that taught him to meet clients where they are–emotionally and physically–and to work with their bodies to find healing. “I have learned in my journey that there is no cookie-cutter approach; each of my clients is treated with listening to their needs and using an approach only they will receive, not copied,” Radstone said.
His healing modalities are: intuitive myofascial movement and manual muscle activation therapy. But what exactly is healing?
In Radstone’s words, “Healing people is rekindling the ember that is within them and teaching them how to fan the flame to heal and reconnect with their spirit again.” He describes the spirit as the force that drives a person to become the = best version of themselves.
One example of his healing work is gently stretching a client’s injured leg up to the edge of pain, then slowly guiding it within that range of motion to teach the body it is safe to move in that motion again. He incrementally activates the muscles to support the stretch and help release the injury.
People often seek to heal not just from present physical discomfort, but also from generations of compounded trauma. “What happens genetically is–when your grandparents experienced a traumatic event, this includes physical, emotional, spiritual, and they do not heal from it, they pass it down to your parents and then to you,” Radstone explains.
For example, if a client’s grandparent was beaten by their parents, and they, in turn, beat the client’s parents, that parent may choose not to physically beat their own child, but may instead “emotionally beat” them. Over time, this can genetically alter the body, resulting in low power body posture, which disrupts the biomechanical chain and puts the body into a tense, guarded state. “The effects of this range from a high chance of physical injury, as when you do not move fluidly and you fall, there is more that you will injure yourself, to holding onto the emotional trauma and passing it on to children and even friends,” said Radstone.
A session with Radstone starts with one simple question: “If you could change one thing in how you feel, what would that be?”
He then begins working with his client’s body based on their answer. Sessions can range from a deep conversation with gentle touch to physical adjustments during dialogue to deep dives into full-body stretches and movements. A session can last from one to five hours, depending on the client’s needs and the amount of work required.
Radstone’s approach to healing is as unique as each of his clients. By blending intuitive movement, manual muscle activation, and deep listening, he offers a personalized path to physical and emotional well-being. His work goes beyond relieving pain, it’s about helping individuals reconnect with their inner strength and resilience. Through his holistic methods, he helps clients break free from inherited trauma, regain mobility, and rediscover the body’s natural ability to heal. For those seeking a transformative experience, his sessions provide not just relief but a renewed sense of empowerment and vitality.
