Transitional Counseling Program – JSSA
Making the move to an assisted living community can be a difficult change for the individual resident as well as his or her family. Residents who are new to a senior living community may be leaving the home, neighborhood, and friends that they have been familiar with for decades.
At Chesterbrook Residences, we understand how difficult the change in lifestyle can be. To help make the adjustments easier for everyone involved, we offer two complimentary sessions with a transition counselor. Each session is 1.5 hours. This service is free to our new residents and is provided in conjunction with JSSA (Jewish Social Service Agency). Residents who wish to learn more or to schedule an appointment please contact our Resident Services Coordinator at Chesterbrook by calling 703-531-0781.

Massage Therapy – Body Dynamics
We have partnered with Body Dynamics, Inc. so that our residents have access to clinical massage therapists who will evaluate and treat soft tissue dysfunctions through hands-on manipulation and neuromuscular re-education. The massage therapist looks for movement patterns or postural habits which when released and reprogrammed will relieve pain, reduce stress, improve performance, and enhance overall health.
Their massage therapists have the training, skills, and clinical experience to address a wide variety of medical conditions, including:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
- Hypermobility syndrome
- Low back pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Multiple sclerosis
- Muscle strains
- Sports injuries
- Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ)
- Headaches and migraines
- Whiplash
