Muscular Therapy

A system of treatment and education Developed by Ben Benjamin. Influenced by the theories & practices of Dr. Wilhelm Reich, F.M. Alexander, Dr. James Cyriax and Alfred Kagan, and taught at Muscular Therapy Institute (MTI). 

Muscular therapy is designed to break down chronic tension through deep tissue hands-on technique and education about self care. Treatments are specifically designed for individuals. The
system differs from traditional Swedish massage in that it is more specific, has specific techniques for individual areas of the body often includes suggestions for body care and/or stretching. Uses varying speeds and rhythms but, generally, does not use percussion, tapotement, or vibration nor is performed only in the direction of the heart.

Lauterstein’s Deep Massage

Techniques ‘focus on restoring length, buoyancy, openness, freedom, release, alignment, and decompression in order to enliven specific areas. The goal is to deeply affect the client’s experience of their body and thereby enhance their ‘spiritual range of motion’. This is accomplished by working slowly, without oil or lotion in a ‘deep’ manner that refers to the powerful depth of experience, not just to the amount of the therapist’s pressure’.   

Shiatsu/Acupressure Techniques

From Japan, shiatsu translates as ‘finger pushing’ and is pressure applied to acupoints along meridian lines to release tension and increase circulation, thereby restoring balance. Click here for more information.
