Originally trained at Esalen Institute, he was a member of the massage crew and workshop leader staff there for seventeen I’ve been a member of the professional community of massage therapists and bodyworkers since 1975- years. In 1977 at Esalen he met Dr. Milton Trager, and began more than 30 years. How did I find my way to this profession? In the same way so many of us have- I had training with him, a pursuit that lasted until Dr. Trager’s death in 1998. He is currently a Trager® practitioner with a private practice a massage and it changed me- for the better. Then I had another. And another. You know the rest. In those in Mill Valley, California, and a Trager® instructor who teaches 30-plus years I have looked forward every day, in every way, professionally. Never back, except in awe and across the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan. He is the author of gratitude that I somehow managed to get myself on this path and consequently became a member of a Job’s Body: A Handbook for Bodywork, and has developed a wide variety of seminars for bodyworkers and interested health professionals of all kinds community of people who have tremendous heart, who, in all their struggles to be accepted by mainstream concerning the anatomy and physiology of touch and the increasing role of hands-on care health professionals, have never wavered from their conviction that touch is the great healer.

MT is a profession with the intention of positively affecting the health and well-being of the client through a variety of touch techniques (American Massage Therapy Association Glossary of Terms). MT’s are trained in assessment, treatment planning, application of various massage techniques/modalities, communication/reporting with both patients and members of the health care team (Goldblatt 2009). MT use is widespread in the US, and is increasingly viewed as part of integrative health care. This is due to a rapidly expanding evidence base (Moyer & Dryden 2012, Moyer et al. 2009) and MT’s popularity for treating common health complaints. A 2007 National Institute of Health (NIH) survey of US adults found that MT was the the number one out-of-pocket practitioner-based expense and the second most commonly used practitioner-based CAM therapy -- nearly equalling the volume of chiropractic/osteopathic care (Barnes 2008).

  • Massage for Old Injuries Injuries Such As Chronic Back Pain, Trick Knees, and Sticky Shoulders Are Not Necessarily Something You Just Have to Live with Forever
    Massage for Old Injuries Injuries such as chronic back pain, trick knees, and sticky shoulders are not necessarily something you just have to live with forever. Massage will help, depending on the extent of the injury, how long ago it occurred, and on the skill of the therapist. Chronic and old injuries require deeper and more precise treatments with less emphasis on general relaxation and working on the whole body. Massage is most effective in releasing adhesions and lengthening muscles that have shortened due to compensatory reactions to the injury. Tight and fibrous muscles not only hurt at the muscle or its tendon, but can also interfere with proper joint movement and cause pain far away from the original injury. This work has specialized names and advanced training credentials --such as orthopedic massage, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, medical massage. Our massage therapists at the club, are trained to combine the best of the specialties. A recent Consumer Reports article surveyed of thousands of its readers and reported that massage was equal to chiropractic care in many areas, including back and neck pain. Massage also ranked significantly higher than other forms of treatment, such as physical therapy or drugs. If that nagging injury persists, consider booking a massage with us. Be sure to discuss the injury with your practitioner: How did you receive the injury? Have you reinjured it? And what exactly are your symptoms? Often, the body compensates in one area to protect another that has been traumatized, and this can create new problems. Together we can create a treatment program to help you.

According to acupuncture theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which qi, a kind of vital energy, is said to flow. There is no generally-accepted anatomical or histological basis for these concepts, and modern acupuncturists tend to view them in functional rather than structural terms, (as a useful metaphor in guiding evaluation and care of patients). Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China and is most commonly associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Different types of acupuncture (Classical Chinese, Japanese acupuncture) are practiced and taught throughout the world. Bowen Technique The Bowen Technique is one version of a group of technical interpretations of the work of Australian osteopath Tom Bowen (1916–1982) known as Bowen Therapy, which is a holistic system of healing.

The purpose of this research study was to explore the processes of Rosen Method Bodywork to develop a theoretical framework about what occurs over the course of receiving sessions RMB, both within the recipient and between the recipient and the practitioner. In this grounded theory study, data from interviews of twenty participants was analyzed and a theoretical model of the overall process of RMB was constructed. The model consists of the five integrative phases through which these participants moved within the iterative RMB process from Feeling Stuck and Disconnected to Feeling Connected.
