The Lydian Center for Innovative Healthcare opened in the fall of 2007. Since then we have rapidly become a national and international destination for hundreds of children and adults who have been unable to get help elsewhere. We start with the question, not of how someone's health may be broken, but of how their system may be confused.
A gentle, low-force chiropractic technique that seeks to stabilize the core of the body, and can have wide ranging benefits for musculoskeletal pain and for central nervous system function.

Axial Stability Method (ASM) is a precise, gentle, low-force chiropractic technique that seeks to restore the structural stability of the "axial" core of the body. This exceptionally effective, proprietary technique was first developed by Dr. David A. Newton in Wellesley Massachusetts. His student, Dr. Lydia Knutson, has spent the last 10 years expanding this remarkable technique in the fertile, collaborative setting of the Lydian Center.
Energy Kinesiology is a non-invasive, holistic approach to health and wellbeing based on a synergistic combination of Western models of neurological muscle function and Eastern models of energy medicine. An important assumption of Energy Kinesiology is that the body naturally moves toward increased health and organization if underlying stress is removed.
Somatic Emotional Acupressure (S.E.A.) uses a combination of muscle monitoring, acupressure, energy kinesiology, and energy rebalancing techniques to pinpoint and release specific pathways of emotional stress and trauma. S.E.A. specifically addresses the early moments of emotional overwhelm that may be causing loss of brain-body-emotional balance and coherence.

My husband is a building contractor of 40 years. In 2012 he began suffering from tremendous shoulder and neck pain. Having visited several orthopedic surgeons and shoulder/neck specialists, he was told surgery was his only option, which for him, was not an option. In 2016, his massage therapist referred him to the Lydian Center, Dr Maya. He was skeptical at first, but was willing to try anything to alleviate his pain. After only 3 visits he began to experience some relief. At the end of 10 visits he was pain free. In January 2018, he returned for 2 visits to keep himself in check. He is continuing

The practitioners at the Lydian Center have been an essential part of my family's healing from various injuries big and small over the last decade. Their unique and gentle method is favored especially by the kids who happily come to the sessions. Positive attitude and vibe all around in this nice place, including from the front desk. Highly recommended.

The Lydian Center has been incredibly helpful to me in my healing journey! For years I have seen them for injuries large and small and acute and chronic immune system issues. I hold them fully responsible for the structural stability I have maintained through years of being accident-prone! I have worked with all the chiropractors there, as well as their homeopath and Joy Del Giudice (one of their energy kinesiologists) and they are all warm, smart, skilled, thorough and have great integrity. I recently had a significant concussion and Lydia Knutson, her associate chiropractors, Joy, and Begabati

I don't normally leave 1 star...but for this place, I wish I could leave a negative star.
First, I went to Lydian Center, Lydia, for back pain that was cause from a car accident. I went there for 11 sessions...Not only there was no improvement...but my condition got worse - I couldn't walk the next day. But they keep on telling me to keep on coming back even where there's no change in treatment whatsoever.

I've been seeing Eve Kodiak at the Lydian Center for a few weeks now. Eve is a warm, friendly, and talentedpractitioner with much experience. She sees clients for many reasons. I've been seeing her for piano improvisation sessions. This is a good outlit for creative expression for me, as well as emotionally theraputic. She's very good at adapting her teaching style to someone who is blind. I felt very refreshed and like I learned something after every session. I'll be moving soon out of state, but she plans to keep in touch and recommend a teacher for me, and left the door

I have seen multiple Lydian practitioners for chiropractic and cranial sacral work and have had a wonderful experience. They are a knowledgeable, kind and caring practice. Unlike my experiences with other alternative practitioners, I have found Lydian to be more patient centered. They inquire about my goals for the treatment and include me in the decision making process. The environment in the office is relaxing and the reception staff is extremely pleasant and courteous.

The entire staff at Lydian is expert, first class and first rate. Each practitioner possesses a rare combination of intuitive and scientific expertise that reflects an awareness of the intimate connection and inter-relatedness between body, mind, and soul.
Lydia Knutson is a remarkable healer, a unique and unusually sophisticated medical professional. She has assembled a devoted and exceptional group of like-minded and similarly-skilled practitioners. They carefully and astutely diagnose connections between body structure and function and unwanted symptoms manifesting in physical or emotional

I went to see Dr. Lydia for a chronic condition I've had for three years now called dissertation-itis. Low back, shoulder, neck & head aches misalignments all atop a pelvis that likes to go rogue every now and again. Since seeing Dr. Lydia I now know what my body feels like when it's not in pain. And everyone who has experienced chronic pain knows that it has a tendency to fog the mind, something that as a writer and mother, I could not afford.
Dr. Lydia uses a non-force technique that matches her personality. If my body was in a crunch the openness of the staff, the mellow mood

I have been seeing Dr. Lydia for chiropractic treatment for a number of years now, and I really can't say enough great things about her. She is an unusually compassionate practitioner who has shown me fantastic results time and time again. I feel that Dr. Lydia really cares about what I am going through and genuinely wants to figure out the best and quickest way to get me feeling better. I am so at ease with her knowing that whatever concerns I have, she will listen intensely and respond. I have simply been amazed at how much more effective her simple and gentle techniques can be in

The Lydian Center is a new and beautiful alternative healing center near Fresh Pond in Cambridge. My primary treatment there has been from Dr. Lydia Knutson, an extremely talented, gentle, and effective chiropractor. Her technique does not involve bone-cracking but instead relies on the activation of muscles that ultimately shift the bones more gently and precisely. The results are more long-lasting, and there's less risk of injury than with other chiropractors.
Several friends of mine have gone to Dr. Knutson and, after just a couple visits, they were effectively cured from debilitating
