  Musculo-Fascial Trouble Shooter

  Health care problems of many are not usually associated with what I call *C.E.M.&.N.T.* or Chronic, Excess Musculo-Fascial & Nerve Tension & Stress. Put simply, "tight muscles" or being "stressed out" cause FAR more problems than commonly recognized. Injury & trauma can of course multiply the problems, especially if there are multiple injuries. Though not much acknowledged by most physicians or therapists, simple RADICAL RELAXATION of muscles very often solves MANY problems (to the surprise of many).Although many have traveled to my location, I've frequently traveled to Clients' locations to work with extreme issues of a structural, neuromuscular, myofascial nature. The work uses a *NO Pain, MORE Gain* approach (tolerating pain is VERY discouraged), but in some extreme cases is very time intensive. This process is best for individuals or small groups whom:● Are in sufficient pain or dysfunction to take more "aggressive" (yet very NON-invasive) measures.● Have access to residential accommodations for me such that logistics is relatively easy.● Have sufficient control of their time and can arrange to spend 3 to 4 hours per day, (sometimes more) spread out over the day if necessary, for several days to possibly a few weeks, to receive therapy.● Have sufficient funds or credit to afford my fees.● Are open-minded to Whole Health or “Alternative" Therapies.● Have Good internet access.This is a VERY scientifically-based therapy, NOT a New Age or "mystical" system. (This issue will be fully addressed BEFORE you make any commitment.)I've spent as much as 6 hours per day, several days per week over several weeks, with Clients with severe pain & dysfunction for many years. ... Yes, there are occasional "fast results," but cannot be promised. An initial, exploratory, 3-day session is advised.If more than 1 Client, I can work up to 9 hours per day if necessary, 2 to 3 hours at a time. I can be very flexible with scheduling. Show less

  Heartwood Institute

  Sept 1989 - May 1990

  Deep Tissue Instructor

  I taught the Advanced Deep Tissue Training to beginners as well as accomplished, already practicing hands-on, bodywork and massage therapists.Heartwood Institute is one of the only residential healing arts colleges in the world. Located in the mountains of Northern California, just north of the Redwoods, near Garberville, it is quite secluded and conducive to getting away from it all. They have a range of professional training programs including a massage therapy certification program, a yoga certification program, tai chi, various nutrition programs, and counselors trainings.

  Classical Musicians in Boston

  Aug 2003 - May 2005

  Muscle Therapist

  I was invited to Boston to work with a number of classical musicians, mostly string instruments such as cello violin and viola, and a few pianists. These were world-class performers, faculty and students, mostly at the New England Conservatory of Music. ... I successfully helped nearly all of the people I worked with recover from career threatening pain & dysfunction, using hands-on therapy and some yoga-style stretching techniques. In a few cases, they were literally at the end of their career if we could not produce the needed results. ... We did succeed in nearly every case. Show less
