The secret to a great massage is sometimes found in the humblest
of places!
Foot and hand work is something most massage therapists are weak
in. For whatever reason, most schools gloss over this very
important part to your massage. At our school, we teach that good
foot and hand work can be the difference between a satisfied client
and one that will go elsewhere. This class will help you hone your
foot and hand work, giving you a new, fresh approach that will have
your clients returning again and again for more. Our deep
tissue/medical massage approach includes the neuromuscular trigger
point work that will help eradicate pain and tension as in
addressing plantar fasciitis or arthritic hand complaints and
combine the most powerful shiatsu points on the legs and arms, feet
and hands. The acupuncture/acupressure points in Japan are known as
tsubos. The specific tsubos called the Go, Gen, Sei points are one
the secrets to an extraordinary session in Japanese shiatsu or
Chinese Tui Na. This is not a reflexology class that requires a
completely different serious course of study. The combination of
trigger points and shiatsu makes it some of the most powerful foot
and hand massage work you’ll ever experience.
Join us for a day of great foot and hand work!

Abdominal massage stands out as an exceptionally impactful form of bodywork, addressing a multitude of physical and emotional imbalances often stored in the abdomen—an area that has unfortunately seen the decline of its once revered status in the realm of massage therapy. This neglect is surprising given that most energy lines and vital communication systems, including blood, lymph, and nerves, traverse through the abdomen, making it a reservoir for stagnant energy. Beyond its ability to alleviate physical ailments associated with internal organs, abdominal massage has demonstrated remarkable healing effects across the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. The artful and graceful nature of this therapeutic approach demands patient and meticulous attention to anatomy, energy flow, and breath, elevating it to a level of profound significance. This class is a unique opportunity to delve into this transformative practice with careful awareness and skillful guidance.
Benefits of Abdominal Massage
- relieve constipation
- relieve pain and tension in the neck, shoulders, and back
- improve digestion
- release emotional stress
- improve posture
- calm the nervous system
The class will cover:
- Abdominal anatomy
- The muscles of the belly and how they function
- Contraindications and Pathologies
- Ethics and Draping
- Abdominal massage sequence
- How to incorporate Abdominal Massage into your treatment

Amazing Back Work that will make all the difference in the world!
To give a great massage, one that has your clients buzzing and returning again and again, is what it’s all about. Approaching the back, its hardness, its armoring, and its painful anomalies must be Massage 101 for us. If you do not successfully address their “aching back” you will lose your clients to someone who will! Join us as Larry creates an all day, hands-on, medical massage learning lab. Our focus will be “back central”, combining deep tissue and trigger point therapies, Osteopathic massage techniques, shiatsu and Larry’s very special muscular approach entitled, “stretch and strip”. This class will teach you how to save your hands while you give the most sophisticated massage of your life and it will dramatically raise your skills and your bottom line!
In the Orient, the title master is used respectfully for someone who has performed 25,000 treatments. At nearly 60,000, spanning 42 years, Larry has surely established his expertise. He shares an amazing range of insight and his techniques are quite extraordinary. — Sifu Chuck Loeffler, B.A., B.S., LMT, Tai Chi/Chi Kung Master (in memoriam)
