Kicking off our 2008 AMTA National Convention

Recognition of our Leaders and Outstanding Achievers! Congratulations everyone.







2008 National Convention Keynote Speaker
Judith Aston- Creator of Aston-Patterning®
Judith Aston has been honored as a somatic pioneer. Her mission is to assist in the integration of body, mind, spirit and environment by developing concepts and practices that challenge the traditional viewpoint of the body as linear, constrained and uni-dimensional.
She has created many movement and bodywork programs since 1963. Her first movement education program for Dr. Rolf became the foundation for Rolfing movement. Her forms of spiraling massage, Myo-Kinetics and Arthro-Kinetics have helped numerous therapists be more accurate and specific in their treatments.


She is absolutely brilliant!







Congrats to Pualani for her Outstanding service recognition! Hawaii you rock!









Learning from a great teacher, Ben Benjamin.

Muscular therapy is a bodywork system that focuses on:
The assessment, treatment and prevention of pain and injury problems.
Stress reduction and relaxation.
Helping people learn to better care for and enjoy their bodies.
Muscular therapy is a technique developed by Ben Benjamin in the 1960's. This bodywork system incorporates Swedish massage, deep tissue bodywork, and myofascial and friction therapies. Muscular therapy treats a variety of pain, injury, body perception and muscle tension problems. Myofascial and friction therapy techniques are used specifically to reduce scar tissue which accumulates as a result of injury to soft tissue structures in the body.









He was amazing, can't wait to take a whole training from him, this was just a teaser.
