Serving the Foreign Service community since 2021. Conveniently located near FSI, just two blocks from the Virginia Square Metro, with
FREE OFF-STREET PARKING. (front and back)
FSBP provides up to $75 per visit for 50 massage visits, 50 chiropractic visits, AND 50 acupuncture visits per covered person, per calendar year.
At Body Harmony, you can access all three services under one roof - with a team that understands how your benefits work.

WE KNOW FSBP.
FSBP isn't an occasional insurance plan for us. Foreign Service members make up a significant part of the Body Harmony community,
and our team is familiar with the plan's massage, chiropractic and acupuncture benefits.
YOUR RECEIPTS...DONE RIGHT.
FSBP reimbursement requires specific information on your itemized receipt — and we know what needs to be there. We make sure your receipt includes the appropriate provider and service information so you have what you need to submit your claim.
THREE SERVICES. ONE TEAM.
BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOUR MASSAGE THERAPIST NOTICES SOMETHING YOUR CHIROPRACTOR SHOULD KNOW - AND SOMETIMES YOUR CHIROPRACTOR OR ACUPUNCTURIST HAS INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP YOUR MASSAGE THERAPIST WORK MORE
EFFECTIVELY. THAT'S THE IDEA BEHIND BODY HARMONY:
ALL THE PARTS WORKING BETTER TOGETHER. DOESN'T THAT MAKE SENSE?
FSBP provides up to $75 toward an eligible massage visit, for up to 50 massage visits per covered person, per calendar year. You pay Body Harmony for your massage at the time of service, and we provide the detailed receipt you need to submit to FSBP for reimbursement.
Designed especially for clients who use their FSBP massage benefit regularly, our Express Massage provides focused therapeutic work
at a lower visit cost.
It works particularly well for ongoing care when you and your therapist are addressing a specific problem or maintaining progress over
time.
Because of its shorter length, Express Massage is not the best choice when you have several areas that need attention, want full-body
work, or simply want a longer, slower-paced massage.
Choose a longer session when you have multiple areas that need attention, more complicated or chronic concerns, want full-body work,
or simply prefer the relaxation of a longer, slower-paced massage.
And please communicate with your therapist about what you want from your session.
Therapeutic doesn't have to mean painful - and relaxation doesn't mean your massage can't also be therapeutic.
Dr. Ellen Fitzenrider provides both chiropractic and acupuncture care. Dr. Heather Hunter provides chiropractic care, bringing additional physical therapy training and particular expertise in working with children and neurodivergent patients.
Your first visit is more than a quick "where does it hurt?" appointment.
We want to understand what is happening, what may be contributing to it, what you want to get back to doing, and whether chiropractic
care is actually the right approach for you.
Your evaluation may include discussion of your health history, posture, movement, ergonomics, exercise and fitness habits, previous
injuries, and other factors that may be contributing to your problem.
FSBP provides up to $75 per chiropractic visit for up to 50 visits per covered person, per calendar year. Our doctors use a variety of techniques based on the patient, problem and goal. Care may also include posture, movement, strength, flexibility, ergonomics, exercise and practical strategies to help keep the same problem from repeatedly coming back.
FSBP provides up to $75 per acupuncture visit for up to 50 visits per covered person, per calendar year. Dr. Ellen uses several acupuncture approaches, including Japanese meridian-balancing techniques, cupping and electrical stimulation acupuncture. A 30-minute session is $75 when scheduled with chiropractic care. Longer or stand-alone sessions are $125.
NO PROBLEM!
Not sure which approach makes the most sense for your health issue?
Dr. Ellen evaluates your concern from both perspectives and will recommend the approach she thinks is most appropriate. Sometimes it’s chiropractic, sometimes acupuncture, and sometimes a combination of both.
Melissa Kud, our therapist who specializes in targeted therapeutic massage, including trigger-point and myofascial work for stubborn, chronic and sports-related issues, also holds a Doctorate in Acupuncture.
This allows her to combine Western soft-tissue techniques with an East-West perspective. Massage clients can add a focused 30-minute acupuncture session to their appointment when appropriate.

HOW DID BODY HARMONY BECOME "A FOREIGN SERVICE PRACTICE?"
We didn't exactly plan it.
When Body Harmony opened in Arlington in 2021, we quickly discovered that we had landed in the middle of Foreign Service territory.
FSI was nearby.
Foreign Service families were living all around us while completing language and other training.
The State Department and affiliated agencies were easily accessible by Metro.
And apparently FREE PARKING in Arlington didn't hurt either.
Foreign Service members began finding us, then telling their colleagues and friends.
And somewhere along the way, the Foreign Service community became a significant part of the Body Harmony community.
We couldn't be happier about that.
At Body Harmony, care is not just about what happens during your appointment.
We look at the things that may be contributing to the problem outside the treatment room — movement, strength, flexibility, posture, ergonomics, exercise, recovery habits, and sometimes even something as basic as your desk setup, mattress or pillow.
Body Harmony periodically offers workshops, community gatherings and special events. Some are educational, some practical, and some are simply opportunities for our community to connect.
Nervous about chiropractic? Tell us. If you are worried about “cracking,” have had a previous bad experience, or simply do not know what to expect, our doctors can adapt techniques to your comfort level. There is more than one way to provide chiropractic care.

Most of our Foreign Service patients are enrolled in the Foreign Service Benefit Plan, which offers separate wellness benefits for massage, chiropractic and acupuncture — up to 50 visits for each service, per covered person, per calendar year, with up to $75 per visit.
Because we work with FSBP every day, we understand the details that can make using those benefits easier — including massage reimbursement documentation and how chiropractic examinations are handled separately from the chiropractic manipulation benefit.
Enrolled in Blue Cross Blue Shield instead?
Some Foreign Service and State Department patients choose a BCBS plan. We see those patients too, but their visits are billed according to their individual BCBS benefits, network rules and limitations, rather than the FSBP wellness benefits described above.
Not sure how your current plan applies at Body Harmony? Ask us. We can help you understand how your benefits work here.

...OR WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
We invite our Foreign Service & State Department clients and patients to 'put a pin' in our giant wall map! Where is your next post assignment, or, if you're here for a while, where have you recently been?
We have more than 200 pins in our map so far!

Proud to support this important community!
