  • January Is Stalking Awareness Month

    Author Kathryn Caraway Uses Her Story to Shine a Light on a Misunderstood Crime

    Cultural romanticization and minimization of stalking have normalized the behavior, causing it to go unrecognized as a crime until it becomes dangerous.”
    — Kathryn Caraway

    RALEIGH, NC, UNITED STATES, January 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — January is Stalking Awareness Month, and advocates warn that the legal system is becoming increasingly ill-equipped to protect victims. Despite landmark research showing that stalking precedes 76% of intimate partner femicides (McFarlane, 1999), accountability remains exceedingly rare—only one conviction for every 1,000 incidents—according to The Unfollow Me Project (2025).

    Technology has become one of the most powerful tools available to stalkers, allowing them to monitor, track, and intimidate victims with unprecedented ease. Seemingly harmless social media posts can expose sensitive information; for example, photos often contain embedded EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data that can reveal precise GPS coordinates. In the hands of a stalker, these digital breadcrumbs can be used to map a victim’s movements, confirm routines, and lead to unwanted surveillance—often without the victim realizing how much they’ve revealed.

    Amazon #1 bestselling author Kathryn Caraway stands out as both a victim of stalking and one of the few who achieved a conviction, placing her experience among the estimated 0.1% of cases that lead to legal accountability.

    Stalking affects an estimated 13.5 million people each year (Smith, Sharon G. and Basile, Kathleen C. and Kresnow, Marcie-jo “The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey : 2016/2017 Report on Stalking — updated release” (2022)), yet misconceptions and minimization often leave victims isolated and unheard. Caraway knows this reality firsthand. Her lived experience with stalking, combined with research on the subject, has positioned her as a respected subject matter expert on stalking behavior, victim impact, and the long-term psychological consequences of this obsession-driven crime.

    “Cultural romanticization and minimization of stalking have normalized the behavior, causing it to go unrecognized as a crime until it becomes dangerous,” says Caraway.

    Caraway is the author of Unfollow Me, a true crime account of a sadistic stalker that exposes how stalking escalates, how victims are often dismissed, and how cultural normalization of the crime delays intervention. Her case, while legally successful, underscores the limits of the system: the conviction carried only a six-month sentence, and in the state where the crime occurred, stalking is only a misdemeanor.

    Stalking laws and penalties vary by state, but at their core, stalking is generally defined as a pattern of behavior that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.

    “Stalking is not about flattery or persistence—it’s about power, control, and fear,” says Caraway. “January is an opportunity to confront the myths, listen to those that have experienced it, and take this crime seriously before it escalates into violence or death.”

    As lawmakers, courts, and the public grapple with where free speech ends and criminal threat begins—particularly following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 decision in Counterman v. Colorado, which raised the burden of proof for prosecuting stalking—Caraway offers a rare perspective that bridges lived experience and true crime storytelling. She speaks to how stalking is routinely minimized, romanticized, or dismissed, and why victims are increasingly required to clear an alarmingly high evidentiary bar to be believed.

    In Counterman v. Colorado (2023), the U.S. Supreme Court significantly raised the legal threshold for what constitutes a prosecutable threat. The case involved Billy Raymond Counterman, who was convicted in Colorado of stalking musician Coles Whalen after sending her hundreds of unsolicited social media messages over a two-year period. Whalen never responded and repeatedly blocked Counterman, yet he created new accounts to continue contacting her. Some messages suggested surveillance, referencing her car and personal movements, while others escalated into explicit hostility, including statements such as, “Staying in cyber life is going to kill you,” and, “You’re not being good for human relations. Die.”

    The impact was severe: Whalen hired additional security and canceled performances. Although Counterman was convicted and sentenced to four and a half years in prison, the Supreme Court vacated the ruling on June 27, 2023, and remanded the case, requiring prosecutors to prove that Counterman was subjectively aware his statements could be interpreted as threats.

    This decision set an alarmingly high bar, increasing the burden on victims to demonstrate fear-inducing intent and further narrowing the path to accountability in stalking cases.

    As Stalking Awareness Month unfolds, Caraway encourages media outlets, advocacy organizations, and communities to elevate voices of the stalked and push for meaningful conversations around accountability and prevention.

    During Stalking Awareness Month, Caraway is available for interviews and expert commentary on stalking behaviors, escalation warning signs, legal blind spots, and the long-term psychological toll on victims—bringing urgency and clarity to a crime that remains widely misunderstood and underreported.

    Through interviews and media commentary, Caraway provides insight into:
    • Strategies for victims of stalking based on her own experience
    • The long-term psychological toll stalking takes on victims and ways to address this
    • Why stalking is frequently misunderstood or dismissed

    Unfollow Me is available on Amazon and continues to resonate with readers drawn to true crime that goes beyond shock value to explore real-world consequences.

    About Kathryn Caraway
    Kathryn Caraway is the Amazon #1 bestselling author of Unfollow Me, and founder of The Unfollow Me Project. She writes and speaks about stalking, victim advocacy, and the lasting psychological impact of stalking. Her work bridges true crime storytelling with education and awareness, challenging cultural myths surrounding stalking.

  • Deloitte Taiwan and C2A Security Partner to Accelerate Innovation in Product Security and Risk Management

    Cybersecurity for industrial, semiconductor, and medical device cyber-physical products, focused on Taiwan compliance and global export markets

    C2A and Deloitte are enabling Taiwanese companies to automate cybersecurity, prove compliance, and compete globally with confidence across automotive, industrial, semiconductor, and medical markets.”
    — Roy Fridman, CEO, C2A Security

    JERUSALEM, ISRAEL, January 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — C2A Security, the only context and AI-driven product security orchestration platform addressing the needs of software-defined products and cyber-physical systems, and Deloitte Taiwan, the industry-leading audit, consulting, tax, and advisory services company, announced today a strategic alliance to help clients meet rapidly evolving cybersecurity demands at scale. The partnership between Deloitte and C2A Security brings immense value to customers, as the two companies develop unique offerings.

    This alliance builds on proven success with global leaders such as Elekta and Daimler Truck AG, which rely on C2A’s platform to meet complex regulatory requirements while maintaining operational efficiency.
    Taiwanese companies face unique cybersecurity challenges:

    • Companies must comply with CRA, IEC 62443, UN R155/R156, and other international standards. A lack of an automated, integrated platform makes compliance slow and resource intensive.
    • Global OEMs increasingly require suppliers to demonstrate robust cybersecurity practices. Without real-time compliance reporting and data consolidation, Taiwanese companies face delays and potentially lost opportunities.
    • Manual testing methods cannot keep pace with modern product complexity. Automated platforms for risk analysis, vulnerability detection, and continuous monitoring are essential for rapid response.
    • A limited pool of experts in embedded and industrial cybersecurity makes it difficult for companies to sustain long-term security and compliance efforts without workflow streamlining technologies.

    C2A Security’s EVSec platform delivers AI-driven, context-based risk management for organizations developing connected technologies, enabling fast and accurate vulnerability and security operations management. The acquisition of VigilantOps expands C2A’s SBOM and MedTech capabilities. Deloitte complements EVSec with deep industry expertise and implementation services, including tool migration, risk advisory, and project management.

    For example, Elekta, a pioneer in healthcare technology, stated: “As healthcare cybersecurity becomes a focal point for regulators, the ability to continuously assess, monitor, and prove compliance is essential. Our collaboration with C2A Security enables us to integrate cybersecurity throughout our product portfolio, helping us meet compliance requirements while keeping our systems secure.”

    Similarly, Daimler Truck AG selected EVSec as its product security platform to address emerging regulatory demands and automate security operations at scale. “Dealing with current and emerging regulatory demands, software development at scale, and overall product security operations can be a limitation on business continuity if not automated,” said Roy Fridman, CEO of C2A Security.

    “We are excited by the confidence Deloitte has shown in our technology as we expand our Strategic Alliance to Taiwan and add the EVSec platform to their regional offerings,” said Roy Fridman, CEO of C2A Security. “Our partnership has already led to a collaboration with a leading global automotive manufacturer, with more to come. With two-thirds of Taiwan’s exports in semiconductors and ICT, the country is a natural hub for innovation in product security. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Deloitte and supporting Taiwanese companies in global markets.”

    C2A’s latest update enhances supply chain transparency by allowing organizations to verify component origins, demonstrate compliance, and continuously monitor their technology supply chain for full visibility and regulatory alignment.

    Howard Jyan, Partner at Deloitte Taiwan, added, “I am delighted with this partnership. It will help companies across automotive, industrial, semiconductor, and medical sectors strengthen cybersecurity, automate risk management, and comply with Taiwan and international export requirements such as the Cyber Resilience Act, IEC 62443, and UN R155. Our focus is to help Taiwanese companies meet regulatory demands, satisfy OEM expectations, and ensure smooth access to global markets.”

    Deloitte supports local and export-oriented industries, including automotive, semiconductors, industrial products, and medical technologies, helping clients meet cybersecurity regulations in Taiwan, Europe, and global markets.
    Its service portfolio covers software-defined vehicles, industrial products, semiconductors, and MedTech, including:

    • Management Systems Advisory to build cybersecurity management systems aligned with industry standards.
    • Governance and Processes to integrate cybersecurity across the organization.
    • Managed Services for ongoing cybersecurity support.

    Together, Deloitte and C2A Security help companies navigate regulatory demands and protect software-defined products with a secure, compliant, and resilient approach.

    About C2A Security
    C2A Security is the only AI-based, context-driven product security orchestration platform that addresses the specific needs of software-defined products in heavily regulated sectors.

    Founded in 2016, C2A Security’s customers and technology partners include top-tier global players as Bayer, BMW Group, Daimler Truck AG, Ascensia, Elekta, NVIDIA, Siemens, Orcanos, HARMAN, Marelli, NTT Data, and Deloitte.

  • Jeskell Systems and Cobalt Iron Host Federal Webinar on Zero Access Backup and AI-Driven Resilience

    This session highlights Zero Access backup architecture and AI-driven automation designed to improve resilience and recovery confidence for federal IT teams.

    As cyber threats evolve, federal IT teams need backup architectures that remove human risk while improving recovery readiness and operational efficiency.”
    — Clary Davis, Executive Vice President of Sales, Jeskell Systems

    LAUREL, MD, UNITED STATES, January 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Jeskell Systems and Cobalt Iron today announced an upcoming technical webinar focused on Zero Access backup architecture and AI-driven automation for federal IT environments. The session will take place on January 22 and is designed to provide federal technical teams with a deeper understanding of how modern backup platforms are evolving to support cyber resilience, recovery confidence, and operational efficiency.

    As ransomware attacks, credential compromise, and insider threats continue to impact government organizations, federal agencies are reassessing how backup data is protected. While Zero Trust principles have strengthened access controls across networks and applications, many backup environments still rely on administrative access and manual oversight. These access paths can introduce risk at the moment when backup data is most critical.

    The upcoming webinar will explore how Zero Access backup architectures extend Zero Trust concepts by eliminating human access to backup data entirely. In a Zero Access model, backup data is isolated from administrators, operators, and service providers, reducing the risk of malicious or accidental modification and improving recovery outcomes during cyber incidents.

    Jeskell Systems and Cobalt Iron will examine how analytics-driven automation plays a central role in enforcing Zero Access. Rather than relying on manual configuration and oversight, modern backup platforms use automation to manage scheduling, policy enforcement, monitoring, and system health continuously. This approach reduces operational burden while improving consistency and reliability across complex hybrid environments.

    The session will also address why federal IT teams are increasingly focused on recovery readiness rather than backup completion alone. Agencies are being asked not only to protect data, but to demonstrate that it can be recovered intact, quickly, and predictably under adverse conditions. Zero Access architectures, combined with automated operations and service-based delivery models, are emerging as a way to meet these expectations while maintaining predictable costs.

    This technical webinar is intended for federal IT professionals, including backup and recovery engineers, storage and infrastructure architects, cybersecurity engineers, and technical leaders responsible for evaluating backup modernization strategies. While the discussion will provide architectural insight, it will remain grounded in practical considerations relevant to real-world federal environments.

    The webinar will be led by Richard Spurlock, Chief Executive Officer at Cobalt Iron, and Clary Davis, Executive Vice President of Sales at Jeskell Systems. Together, they will connect backup architecture decisions to operational outcomes and resilience objectives facing federal organizations today.

    Technical Webinar: Zero Access Backup and AI-Driven Resilience for federal IT
    January 22, 11:00 AM Central, 12:00 PM Eastern

    Registration for the webinar is now open. Federal IT professionals interested in learning more about Zero Access backup architecture and AI-driven automation are encouraged to attend. Register today!

  • Fulflex Sets New Bar for Sustainability and Manufacturing Excellence

    VT, UNITED STATES, January 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fulflex, a global leader in thin-gauge calendering and polymer innovation, continues its upward trajectory in late 2025. Following the successful integration of Avcor Health Care Products, Fulflex has been honoured with the prestigious Gold Award at the ICQCC 2025 in Taipei, recognising its excellence in quality control and manufacturing standards. Simultaneously, the company has secured a pivotal patent for a groundbreaking Antimicrobial Rubber Composition, addressing critical hygiene needs in the medical and consumer sectors.

    • Employee Engagement: It recognises the proactive role our teams play in identifying and solving complex manufacturing challenges.
    • Global Recognition: This win cements Fulflex’s status as a top-tier supplier for Fortune 500 companies across 85 countries.

    Pioneering Hygiene with New Antimicrobial Patent
    Health and safety have never been more critical. Responding to the urgent demand for safer materials in healthcare, Fulflex is thrilled to announce the grant of a new patent for our Antimicrobial Rubber Composition.
    This proprietary formulation allows us to produce rubber sheets, tourniquets, and elastic tapes that actively inhibit the growth of bacteria and other pathogens.

  • National Organizations Unite to Celebrate Thomas Paine’s Revolutionary War Service at Annual Birthdate Event

    National Organizations Unite to Celebrate Thomas Paine’s Revolutionary War Service at Annual Birthdate Event

    The Times That Tried Men’s Souls: Thomas Paine’s Service During The Revolutionary War

    MADISON, WI, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — January 29, 2026 — Online Event | 4:00 PM PST / 7:00 PM EST
    Registration Required: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ga-dvEPuR0iLzT5LA45BOw

    The Thomas Paine Memorial Association (TPMA) and a coalition of leading secular, historical, and humanist organizations invite the public to the annual celebration of the birth of one of America’s most influential Founders — Thomas Paine. This year’s online commemorative program, “The Times That Tried Men’s Souls: Thomas Paine’s Service During The Revolutionary War,” will take place on Thursday, January 29, 2026.

    TPMA, which educates about Paine’s legacy, has been authorized by Congress to erect a memorial to Paine in Washington, D.C. The group has since received preliminary approval to pursue a memorial in Area 1 (close to the United States Capitol Building). The approval bill is awaiting congressional action.

    Thomas Paine, author of Common Sense and The American Crisis, played an indispensable role in igniting the call for independence and sustaining morale through the darkest moments of the Revolution. His writing, service, and vision for a democratic society continue to inspire generations. Paine’s contributions recently have been highlighted in Ken Burns’ documentary “The American Revolution.”

    Event Highlights

    Distinguished Opening Remarks
    The program will commence with words from Members of Congress Jamie Raskin and Victoria Spartz, with a special appearance from Benjamin Franklin (portrayed by actor Brian Patrick Mulligan).

    Keynote Presentation
    Acclaimed historian and author Jack Kelly — whose book Tom Paine’s War explores Paine’s firsthand experiences during the Revolution — will deliver a keynote address examining Paine’s military service and enduring relevance. Kelly will cover:

    • Paine’s background and rise to prominence
    • His Common Sense pamphlet and his influence on the Declaration of Independence
    • His service with the Pennsylvania militia and involvement with the Continental Army
    • The fall of Fort Washington and Fort Lee
    • The march across New Jersey
    • The writing of The American Crisis and its impact on the battles of Trenton and Princeton
    • Paine’s legacy in modern times

    Readings from Paine’s Writings
    Award-winning actor Ian Ruskin, known for his one-man show portraying Paine, will perform a dramatic reading from The American Crisis synchronized with a photo slide show of various images of the Paine memorial sculpted by Georg Lober, dedicated in 1950 in Morristown, New Jersey. The statue portrays Paine in the midst of writing The American Crisis during the Revolutionary War — capturing both his intellectual and patriotic courage.

    A Veteran’s Perspective
    Gene Jones of Florida Veterans for Common Sense will speak about Paine’s heroism, the challenges he faced after the war, and why Paine remains a powerful symbol of principled military service today.

    Showcase: The Thomas Paine Cottage
    A video created by Suzanne Tanswell and Gary Bush, trustees of the Huguenot New Rochelle Historical Association which owns the Thomas Paine Cottage in New Rochelle, New York, will highlight one of the most important historical sites connected to Paine’s life.

    Additional Program Features
    • Musical selection from the celebrated play ‘The Crossing’
    • Live Q&A with Jack Kelly, Gary Berton, Christopher Cameron, Ian Ruskin, Margaret Downey, Gene Jones, Frances Chiu, Joy Masoff, Suzanne Tanswell, and Gary Bush
    • Cosponsor messages from national organizations
    • Credits slideshow
    • A post-event Social Hour and Toasts, including a special opening toast by renowned sculptor Zenos Frudakis, who will show his progress in creating a statue of Thomas Paine that will be placed in a prestigious pre-approved location in Washington, D.C.

    Event Hosts and Sponsors
    The event will be co-hosted by TPMA President Margaret Downey and TPMA Board Member Christopher Cameron. Sponsors include:

    • Thomas Paine Memorial Association
    • Black Nonbelievers
    • Thomas Paine Historical Association

  • Intergalactic Whimsy and Stark Truths Collide in Momoko Uno’s New Sci-Fi Satire ‘Hello Humans’

    Intergalactic Whimsy and Stark Truths Collide in Momoko Uno’s New Sci-Fi Satire ‘Hello Humans’

    NY, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Prepare to laugh, ponder, and take a closer look at humanity through a cosmic lens as award-winning author Momoko Uno releases her latest science fiction comedy, “Hello Humans.” Combining sharp wit, sociopolitical commentary, and an imaginative interstellar backdrop, Uno invites readers into an unparalleled exploration of Earth’s future (or lack thereof) through the eyes of an enlightened alien coalition.

    At 175 pages, this genre-defying work deftly merges humor with profound insights, all while tackling relevant themes like climate change, human greed, and our collective thirst for power. With “Hello Humans,” Momoko Uno spins an entertaining tale that investigates how humanity’s trajectory might look to a group of evolved alien species known as the Intergalactic Committee, and their assessment isn’t pretty.

    Crafted to inspire introspection and laughter, Uno’s latest work reads like a whimsical love letter to a planet that, despite its flaws, still holds promise. The Intergalactic Committee believes that Earthlings have the potential to rise above their current sandbox squabbles and become better stewards of their home planet. However, as “Hello Humans” illustrates through encounters with rebellious cyborgs, treacherous factions, and hostile intergalactic species, humanity remains its own greatest hurdle.

    “I wanted to create a satirical yet thought-provoking story that feels entertaining and relatable,” Uno shared when discussing her inspiration for the book. “Through the eyes of the Intergalactic Committee, readers get the chance to reflect on our sociopolitical landscape and what it truly means to live harmoniously.”

    Drawing humor from historical events and present-day phenomena, like unexpected relationships between UFO sightings and nuclear weapons testing, “Hello Humans” embeds a sense of authenticity within its fantastical universe. This is not just a sci-fi satire; it’s a mirror that reflects humanity’s greatest strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for redemption.

    “Whimsical, thought-provoking, and unpredictable,” says D. Donovan of Midwest Book Review, “‘Hello Humans’ offers a special style of social, political, and alien inspection that makes it a unique offering and a standout.”

    A cosmic adventure that will make readers laugh and reflect, this unique novel dares to ask the toughest questions while never forgetting to have fun.
    “Hello Humans” (ISBN: 9781966799610) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The hardcover retails for $25.99, the paperback retails for $17.99, and the ebook retails for $2.99. Review copies and interviews with the author are available upon request. Learn more at Momoko Writes.

    Purchase the book on Amazon.

    From the Back Cover:

    The Intergalactic Committee has decided it’s time for Earth to join the cosmic family. But there’s a catch-rogue cyborgs, rebellious factions, and downright malicious species are doing everything in their power to delay the invitation. Will the Committee arrive in time to warn humanity of its impending doom, or will the humans’ greed, egocentric thirst for power, pollution, and climate change lead them to destroy their own home?

    The evolved alien species of the Committee understand a crucial truth: all life is interconnected. In their eyes, kicking someone else’s ass is like hurting your own foot-you never know when someone’s wearing steel pants: War and broken feet are distractions from far more exciting things, like exploring galaxies and sampling weird cosmic food.

    The Committee sees potential in Earthlings, though. They view us as a scrappy, emotional, snotty little species, much like children throwing sand in the sandbox – unaware of the power we hold and how much damage we can cause. Unfortunately, some of us grow up to become the very forces that tear worlds apart.

    But the Committee isn’t here to point fingers; they’re here to offer a solution. There’s enough cosmic slime for everyone, they say. The true battle, however, is not about climbing the ladder to world domination or fighting for territory-it’s about climbing within ourselves. The greatest conflict we face is the struggle between fear and love.

    The Committee invites us to build something together-a sandcastle of shared wisdom and love-one that’s bigger and better than anything we could create alone. Or, of course, we could always choose to stomp around the sandbox and destroy each other’s creations.
    So, hello humans, welcome to the Intergalactic Committee. We’ve got a universe to explore, and we can either do it together, or we can keep fighting over the toys in the sandpit. The choice is ours.

  • Advanced Medical Massage Emerges as a Structured Option for TMJ and Pain Care in NYC

    NYC practice outlines intake-driven, outcomes-focused approach distinct from spa-based massage

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As more patients look for non-pharmacological ways to manage chronic pain and jaw dysfunction, advanced medical massage is increasingly being incorporated into structured care plans for conditions such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, neck pain, and stress-related musculoskeletal issues.

    Unlike spa-based massage or one-off relaxation treatments, medical massage focuses on thorough intake, clinical reasoning, and treatment sequencing. The goal is functional improvement over time, not just short-term relief. In high-demand urban environments like New York City—where long work hours, screen use, and elevated stress are common—this outcomes-driven approach is gaining traction among clients who want their care to be intentional and accountable.

    Bodyworks DW Massage Therapy, a New York City–based practice specializing in advanced and medical massage, reports that TMJ-related complaints have become one of the most common reasons clients seek treatment. In many cases, jaw pain is not an isolated issue. It often overlaps with cervical tension, postural strain, breathing mechanics, and nervous system overload.

    “TMJ pain rarely exists in a vacuum,” said David Weintraub, LMT, owner of Bodyworks DW. “What people feel in the jaw is often connected to what’s happening in the neck, ribcage, or shoulders. Getting meaningful change usually means addressing those relationships first, rather than chasing symptoms.”

    Medical massage sessions at Bodyworks DW begin with a comprehensive intake designed to identify contributing factors beyond the primary complaint. Treatment often starts with broader regions—such as the thoracic spine, ribcage, and hips—to reduce overall tension and create mechanical slack before moving into more localized work around the jaw, neck, and upper shoulders. In TMJ-focused cases, this may also include specialized intraoral techniques targeting muscles such as the pterygoids and buccinator, an approach that requires additional training and is not widely available in general massage settings. Clients are typically guided into a short series of sessions rather than a single visit, reflecting the cumulative nature of neuromuscular and myofascial change.

    This structured model reflects a broader shift in pain care toward conservative, collaborative approaches. Many clients receiving medical massage for TMJ or chronic pain are also working alongside dentists, physical therapists, or other healthcare providers, using manual therapy as one part of a coordinated plan.

    While medical massage is not a replacement for dental or medical treatment when those are indicated, its role in supporting movement quality, reducing protective muscle guarding, and helping regulate the nervous system has made it an appealing option for people seeking non-invasive support.

    In a city where access to care is abundant but time is limited, clarity and realistic expectations matter. “Our focus isn’t on quick fixes,” Weintraub added. “It’s about helping clients understand what’s contributing to their pain and applying the right kind of work, in the right order, over a realistic timeframe.”

    Bodyworks DW operates two appointment-based locations in New York City. Additional information on its medical massage services and TMJ-focused treatment approach is available at:
