Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science

The vast majority of pain cases are due to trigger points in muscles, yet very few practitioners understand how to effectively help people using these principles. We have amazing success in the treatment of pain and we know how to train great therapists.

Learn Bodywork That Works

Our Coaching the Body approach combines efficient techniques from traditional bodywork and osteopathy with a state of the art understanding of trigger point therapy. Learn to understand and treat pain with incredible effectiveness at its true origins.
