Welcome to Our New Massage Therapist
Ellen McMannis is a Certified and Licensed Massage Therapist, a graduate of the Florida School of Massage, a certified Yoga Instructor through the FLY Yoga School, a Wainwright Global Institute certified professional coach and a Libby Barnett Certified Reiki Healer.
Ellen's bodywork focuses on enhancing the connection between mind and body. She offers a relaxed, restorative approach using techniques such as: Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Trigger Point Therapy as well as more energetic techniques such as Reiki and Polarity Therapy.
Within the context of her massage Ellen incorporates some of the most up to date modalities to facilitate the healing process: including the Erchonia percussor and BioMat. Both of these modalities have been shown to aid in the relaxation of muscle tissue, easing tension in the body, increasing circulation and joint range of motion, reducing fascial restrictions, reducing stress on the joints and decreasing the buildup of scar tissue.
Her unique approach makes each session specifically tailored to the individual needs of the client. Ellen continues to study and explore her art to be able to bring the most up-to-date and effective methodology to those she works with, in order help guide them through their healing process.

What Is Chiropractic?
The purpose of chiropractic care is to restore and maintain the integrity of the relationship between the brain, the spinal cord, its nerve roots and all the cells, tissues, and organs under its control.
These nerve pathways are housed in and protected by the cranial and spinal bones (vertebra). Slight misalignments, distortions or imbalances of these protective structures can cause a disruption of the normal transmission of neurological impulses through these pathways, thus effecting the optimal functioning of the entire body.
How Can Chiropractic Help You?
Why is a Proper Nerve Supply so Important?
Without an unimpeded nerve pathway, between your brain and spinal cord, the control and coordination of all tissues, organs and systems in your body is compromised.
One of the most damaging neurophysiologic phenomenon that interferes with the optimal functioning of the nervous system and affects the overall health of human beings is a subluxation.

Nutrition
We live in a time of fluctuation, seemingly limitless choices and varying stress levels. While in a perfect world we might be able to get all the nutrients we need from our food this in not the case for most. Eating on the run, fast food, depleted soil, GMO products, skipping meals, extreme stress levels, high activity levels and inconsistent eating habits all make it difficult to consistently make the best food choices.
Research Links & Newsletter Archives

Patient Testimonials
My family have been cared for by Wellesley Chiropractic for 19 years. We have been grateful for, and blessed by their expertise in their field, their compassion and dedication to their patients, and their willingness to take the time necessary to talk through any concerns. In our family alone they have treated a newborn with serious cranial issues, concussions, learning disabilities and an injured hip. We were thrilled when Dr Erin Rosen joined Dr Marty in practice and primarily seek her care now. Her patience, talent and humor ensure that a patient receives all they can from every adjustment . Dr Erin is fine tuned not only to nuances of the spine, but has a remarkable gift for asking specific questions to bring light possible causes of issues. All three of my children have had their first chiropractic visit before their one week newborn visit. I have recommended Wellesley Chiro to several friends and all have been grateful for the care they received. I cannot imagine my family's health without the care of Dr Erin and Dr Marty.

Dr. Rosen's Chiropractic Education Materials
Chiropractic Educator
Over the past several years, while maintaining a private practice, Dr. Rosen has traveled nationally and internationally teaching SOT® Chiropractic and Pediatrics. In an attempt to make his teachings more available to the chiropractic profession he has complied a series of DVDs and manuals of his work.
These DVDs and manuals are a compilation of years of teaching and lecturing. It is his intention to keep the work of Major DeJarnette, DC alive, and forever available to chiropractors. He is also dedicated to giving chiropractors the tools and skills necessary to take care of children and to inspire them to expand this branch of chiropractic.

New! Pediatric Chiropractic Care - 2nd Edition
We are excited to be launching our 2nd Edition of our book Pediatric Chiropractic Care. We have completely revised Chapter 3, now called The Pediatric Exam, to give the practitioner a more concise step-by-step approach to evaluating the pediatric spine and nervous system. We have also added several charts, a more detailed index and improved explanations of spinal and cranial evaluation and adjusting protocols.
This comprehensive book is a complete guide to pediatric spinal and cranial evaluation and adjusting procedures. It can be used to supplement your current practice paradigm or as a guide to develop an effective and comprehensive approach to pediatric chiropractic care. There are over 200 pages filled with pictures, charts, diagrams and step-by-step instructions for dozens of spinal and cranial adjusting and evaluation techniques.
If you are new in practice or a seasoned chiropractor this book will be a valuable edition to your pediatric practice.
