I have been a massage practitioner for 15 years and thought there wasn't much more to learn that would change the way I practice which has been very successful for me. However I have burnt out of my career, left with chronic pain in my wrists and thumbs, forced to take a 2 year hiatus. Art Riggs has completely revitalized my practice and the way I think about massage. He is so thorough and provides so many techniques in a way to incorporate it creatively into my own way. He was very easy and relaxing to listen to, which is important to me for learning and spending lengthy time on this type of material. The only thing I would have changed is the ability to back up the dvd to specific spot, instead of having to review a 15 min. segment to find my answer. Regardless, it is a course I will review again and again for my own enrichment as there is so much information and possibilities covered in this amazing course.

This was an amazing course. I learned more than I could imagine from one course. Art Riggs is thorough as he can possibly be on a DVD course. I am very pleased with the Institute and look forward to taking more classes from the Institute in the future. Thank you for a wonderful course.

Great course & Art Riggs is AWESOME! I highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to take their basic massage skills to a higher level! Though I think it should offer more CEU hours. Even with that said it was a real pleasure learning a new way of working with my clients

This course includes a lot of great information. I enjoyed Art Riggs as an instructor. He is both knowledgeable and clear in how to use the techniques he presents. He encourages good self care with respect to proper use of demonstrated course material. Art also reminds us that it is okay and important to give our clients some nurturing too. I appreciated that he encouraged using the material he presents as an opportunity to grow as a therapist, expanding not only our abilities, but the belief in our ability to help clients. I enjoyed and would recommend this course.
