Biography
Carol Syvret Austin
Carol Syvret Austin graduated from the Potomac Massage Therapy Institute in 1998 and has been in private practice in Virginia since that time. Her work focuses primarily on clients dealing with chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, and injury rehabilitation. Carol’s postgraduate training has been dedicated to deepening her understanding of the body and refining advanced therapeutic techniques.
Carol also works with expectant mothers, supporting the body through the physical changes of pregnancy. In more complex or high-stress pregnancies, therapeutic bodywork can help the soft tissue adapt to structural changes and improve comfort. She frequently works alongside chiropractors and osteopaths to support optimal outcomes for both mother and child.
Carol holds an Advanced Diploma in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (300 hours of training) and has completed Upledger Cranial I and Cranial II. This training provides a deeper understanding of the nervous system and the subtle structural rhythms of the body. She integrates this gentle modality with her connective tissue and structural bodywork to support both physical mobility and nervous system balance.
Over the years Carol has worked with a wide range of clients, including infants, athletes, and professionals experiencing chronic physical strain. Her integrated approach combines connective tissue therapy, structural bodywork, and craniosacral techniques to address the underlying causes of pain and restriction rather than simply treating symptoms.
Clients often seek out Carol’s work after other approaches have failed to resolve persistent pain, limited mobility, or long-standing structural imbalances. Her goal is always to help the body regain natural movement, comfort, and resilience.
