Mendham Movment

Mendham movement is the result of owner Caroline Strassberg’s 24 years of training in numerous modalities of fitness, longevity and healing. After practicing a traditional model of Chinese medicine for 13 years where she treated patients with acupuncture and herbs, owner Caroline Strassberg knew she needed the right space to work with patients in the way she wanted. She found it in what was formerly the Mendham Borough post office many decades ago. This beautiful airy studio space was the perfect fit. There is space to properly assess patient movement, space to treat with not only Chinese medicine but with exercise and stretching and space to host group classes and workshops.

Caroline Strassberg

Licensed Acupuncturist and Studio Owner

Caroline has been treating patients since 2010 and specializes in injury rehabilitation, performance optimization and pain management. She has a trained eye to see the body as a whole and the complex way in which a symptom is not, and should not be, the only target of treatment. She is able to identify vulnerabilities and assist clients in preventing future injury using both Chinese medicine and movement. She has learned that the human experience of pain and posture are multifaceted and involve not only our bones and muscles, but also our nervous system, sense organs, respiratory system, emotions and thought patterns. For more information about Caroline’s Chinese medicine practice go to the acupuncture page.
Caroline is a lover of many forms of movement, especially dance, partner training, qi gong, martial arts and Crossfit. She studied a number of different Chinese martial arts forms from 2003-2018 and since 2021 she has trained with Jozef Frucek and Linda Kapetanea of Fighting Monkey [www.fightingmonkey.net]. She found this post-modern synthesis of traditional forms, improvisational dance, agility and coordination and communication training to be both revolutionary and life changing. The work she has done with Jozef and Linda is the primary inspiration for State of Play Training. Caroline especially enjoys working with children who dance without training and play without being asked. She believes that it is through moving, creating and playing that we best learn about ourselves.
