Diverse types of pain and discomfort impact daily life – whether from chronic illness, injuries, overuse conditions, or lifestyle factors such as stress, diet, age, and poor posture. However, the U.S. healthcare system typically focuses on symptoms and visible test results, overlooking other crucial factors in patient care. To combat this limitation and as a natural extension of her passion for holistic wellness practices, Nicole Kung founded Nk Body Philosophy in 2007.

 

The practice began as a massage therapy provider with a focus on evidence based, medically driven massage therapy, differentiating itself from mere spa massage. In addition to receiving her New York massage therapist license, Nicole earned her certification in myofascial release and medical massage therapy, becoming a myofascial release (MFR) expert. Realizing massage is only one portion of the healing journey, Nicole became certified in personal training, powerlifting, and stretch therapy. Advancing these skills, she also trained to coach flexibility, strength, resistance, neuromuscular re-education, mobility, posture, balance, functional movements, conditioning, corrective exercises, and nutrition. Most recently, to incorporate more healing options for clients, Nicole added osteopathic-based treatments, mindset coaching, and Reiki healing services.
