We've redefined massage as a medical specialty, using the same clinical protocols doctors follow.

We empower therapists with assessment tests and critical thinking skills to target specific injuries, pains, and soft-tissue conditions.

The result? A personalized, interactive treatment plan tailored to each client's unique needs, investing them as partners in their own ongoing body care and wellness.

Clients typically start their Clinical Program booking 3 to 5 sessions.

Clinical Massage is an in-depth wellness program clients buy into knowing that lasting results typically happen across several sessions. 

Clothes-on, interactive sessions focus on your client's specific soft-tissue injury, pain, or condition, applying deep-tissue, myofascial release, trigger point, movement therapy, passive-resistive stretching, remedial exercises & hydrotherapy to bring lasting results.

Thorough treatment is key to our program's effectiveness

Our comprehensive courses teach therapists to interactively treat clients using a wide variety of tools and techniques chosen from across all massage modalities for their demonstrated effectiveness.

Clinically targeted treatments get predictable, superior results and invite referrals from MDs, Chiropractors, PTs, and even Dentists.

Our program results from a combined 80 years of research, teaching, and clinical practice. Our treatments require less physical effort to deliver and will save your therapists from burnout.

Typical massage schools  don’t teach what we teach 

Our entire approach is refreshingly different from the norm. And these differences cascade into a wide set of very specific and meaningful benefits to both you and your clients.

• Deliver treatments as part of an interactive dialog with a clothed client, using little or no oil, and no draping.
• Move beyond prone and supine positions to the often-overlooked side-lying position, which allows you to provide effective relief without having to dig so hard, even while seated on a rolling stool.
• Use specially designed hand tools we call “Thumbsavers” to apply sustained pressure through clothing and protect your thumbs.
• Properly place pillows to give you a physical advantage and easier access to discrete muscles, reducing stress on your legs, back, and shoulders.

• Assessment tests for pain, posture, and active/passive range of motion to successfully maximize and speed your client's healing.
• Everything you need to practice in any clinical setting and interact with other medical professionals.
• All the forms you need to download and print for documentation and outreach.
• How to establish and maintain client  communication to keep your pressure “just right”.
• More than 100 different pathologies successfully treated through massage, with indications and contraindications for what not to do and when.
• How to extend your massage career by adopting ergonomically correct, alternative techniques and tools that replace "thumb work", standing, and repetitive pushing.
• Clinically studied massage practices like Trigger Point Therapy to eliminate referred pain, Osteopathic Oscillation for relaxing articular tension, Muscle Energy Techniques to relax and lengthen muscles, Hydrotherapy, Remedial Exercises, and more.
• Masterclass graduates can attend our optional 4-day Live Techniques Intensives to work one-on-one with our experienced instructors and qualify for Certification in Medical Massage from Health Matters Seminars.

Clinical Specialization in Medical Massage is "Life Changing"

You’ll gain confidence and credibility to serve your community as a valued member of an integrated healthcare team,
providing effective, Drug-Free Pain Relief.

Julie Brown

Back in high school, Julie was so obsessed with becoming a doctor she read medical textbooks in her spare time.

Wanting to have greater engagements with her clients than the short visits Doctors are typically allowed, Julie opted for Medical Massage.

 Early on, she studied neuromuscular therapy with the same instructors as Barbara and our Founder David Morin.

Julie is thrilled to share her in-depth education with other therapists for the benefit of all.
