As a therapist, choosing just the right bodywork for your clients is important but choosing the right one for you at the same time is crucial to your longevity. When you find the method accomplishing both it’s called symbiotic. As most of you know there are many courses costing thousands of dollars and taking hundreds of hours to learn. Symbiotic Massage Therapy (SMT, a registered modality) teaches you everything you'll need to know through teaching symbiosis of mind, body, spirit and energy during therapy. This modality enables you to provide consistently high quality massages while energizing you at the same time. This means that four, six or eight massages per day are not just achievable but even exhilarating. Once you learn to fully integrate all four levels SMT will literally be the last modality you will need to learn.

Creating this symbiosis of energy between client and practitioner, however, is only achieved through knowledge and application. By balancing energy between client and therapist from the first moment massage begins, clearing your mind of all thoughts, negative energy, prejudices or distractions, you’ll become the channel for the cycling of pure energy. In this state of unbiased openness energy is balanced in client and practitioner and flows much more smoothly and efficiently. Over the course of the massage this flow picks up momentum to the extent that it creates an almost transcendental state for therapist and patient. This creates healing
on a level not previously experienced with no fatigue to the therapist. 

But finding this ideal combination of modalities, creating the most therapeutic massage pathology resolution, has meant almost 35 years of study and application. Learning, dissecting, analyzing, and reassembling more than 30 modalities isn’t always practical or even possible for most therapists and has even required travel to far flung locations around the world.

No other full bodywork modality we know offers so much diversity and so little stress
(see "History" and "Education"). The video above serves as a quick introduction to
Emily and a small sample of her modality.

Symbiotic Massage Therapy is also registered and trademarked because of its unique inclusion of dance components, martial arts, Trager massage (one of the more signifigant and difficult to aquire modalities) Reiki, Russian massage, myofascialmassage, lymph drainage, reflexology, kinesiology, ortho-bionomy,
Thai, cancer massage, and many, many more.

This modality has given Emily the title of "angel" by many of her clients because of the modality's extreme effectiveness yet because of the shared (or symbiotic) effect it actually keeps pain from cropping up anywhere in the therapist's body. It's quite frankly the difference between giving two or three massages per day, and six or eight, and between five or ten years as a therapist, and a lifetime!

Having actively practiced until age 81 Emily is proof this is no exaggeration.

Some basic questions about massage therapy for the non-therapist

Are X-rays required?
No. Massage therapy does not require
x-rays as it is not an invasive treatment

How long before I feel a benefit?
You'll definitely feel better during and after your very first Symbiotic Massage, but depending on your condition a few visits will certainly give you a
more lasting effect

What can I expect from Massage?
Relaxing on a massage table recieving gentle to moderate massage and touch with mild skelatal adjustment across most of the body. Heated towels, high-quality massage oils, or the sound of trickling water might also add to the theraputic experience. Treatments usually last an hour or more depending on condition

Is there any discomfort?
Most definitely not. Pressure is applied only to the extent it remains theraputic and never exceeds your comfort. Only AMTA Certified Practitioners should be used when recieving theraputic massage

Anything to be worried about at all?
Definitely not. Nothing in massage therapy, and especially in Symbiotic Massage, ever brings displeasure to patients. That was the purpose in creating this new modality; to ensure the most beneficial and lasting effects possible while enjoying maximum comfort and relaxation!
