Testimonials
“Taylor is a thoughtful and engaging instructor. His explanations are clear, thorough, and solidly backed by research. His demonstrations and coaching of the techniques are precise, but leave ample room for participants to experiment and find the placement that feels most comfortable and effective. His class is the best of both worlds, you get the how AND the why, delivered in an accessible and engaging format. I will definitely be back for more!”
Erica DeNeve, RMT
“Taylor did a fantastic job with this course. It is a great refresher for established RMT's and all other manual therapists. It helped shed some light on practical ways to help a client without being too methodical about specific orthopedic assessments or terminologies that are common / differ among different therapeutic disciplines. Most of all, this was a great hands on approach and is excellent for kinesthetic learners like myself. I highly recommend these courses and I will be sure to enroll in others!”
Constantine Karampelas, Manual Osteopathic Therapist
“I received many valuable tools that I will be able to add to any treatment. Taylor also showed me a new way to look at treatments and their benefits.”
Natasha H, RMT
“I can't emphasize enough how much I recommend this course, and any of the courses by Taylor James! He delivers well informed, evidence-based information along with practical hands-on applications that can easily be applied into practice. His approach makes learning fun and entertaining!”

Taylor believes massage therapists are uniquely positioned to provide high-value care for people living with musculoskeletal pain. Whether structurally focused, fascially oriented, or integrating craniovisceral techniques, there is room for every practitioner at the table—an approach he calls pan-modality.
