Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® Certification
presented by Dennis Gibbons, LMT
"Better, indeed, is knowledge than mechanical practice. Better than knowledge is meditation. But better still is surrender of attachment to results, because there follows immediate peace."
- Quotation from the Bhagavad Gita
Dear Friend,
I encourage any Licensed Massage Therapist who wants to increase their client base and challenge their understanding of common dilemmas to the human body to take this Certification. I have rescued thousands of people over 24 years from disabling pain through treating the true cause of their discomfort, not just the symptom. This course will educate you in evaluating human posture which has been compromised by inadequate movement and behavior patterns.
Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® is a format of Massage Therapy that uses the body's neurological system to create a neutral posture. Combining an understanding of movement patterns, connective tissue encumbrances, and blocked action potentials, the Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® practitioner will become skilled at addressing most physical ailments of the human body.
Please review the details of this Certification and consider adding Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® to your professional skills. We look forward to this exciting journey and we hope you can join us,

Below is a quote from Angel Velotta, LMT, Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® practitioner since 2008:
"Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® has revolutionized my practice!
Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® allows you to take massage therapy to the next level. It has taught me how to look at the body in a whole new way and has provided me with the knowledge and tools to get amazing and lasting results for my clients. I have trained in other modalities and Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® is by far the most comprehensive and effective work I have ever studied.
Since becoming a Certified Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® Practitioner in August 2009, I have seen my client base grow and the number of appointments I book a week double in just 12 months. During an economic downturn that has affected many of my colleagues, the ability to provide Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® to my clients has kept me busier than I could have imagined. Even the regular clients that I worked on prior to knowing Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® like the work and request it. In fact, about 90% of the massage I do today is purely Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® and it is the work requested by 95% of clients referred to me.
The best part about Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® is that it is so easy on my body. I no longer feel sore or burnt out at the end of a full day of appointments. Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® has provided me with a way to do what I love without injury. I know that I can continue on with this work and have a long and fulfilling career."

Here are other comments from students of this course...

-- "Fascinating blend of physiology and energy work."
-- "[Dennis] ensured that students understood concepts before moving on."
--From a MRTh® practitioner, " MRTh® has allowed me to move beyond the temporary "feel good" effects of massage to facilitate real changes in my clients' functional posture.

The article below written by Dennis Gibbons, LMT entitled "The Rules of Engagement" will give you a better idea of how MRTh® is used.
Whether we are performing Muscle Release Therapy, MRTh® or Fundamental Movement Pilates the rules of engagement apply. What exactly are the rules of engagement and how do they apply to your therapy and/or movement? What does it mean to engage? As defined by The American Heritage dictionary: engage is to participate or to cause, to participate, involve. We are going to demonstrate how movement takes place and how these two modalities accomplish the re-patterning of the neurological pathways encouraging proper, pain-free movement.
