A Holistic approach.
It serves to remember that we, as therapists, do not heal anything. We simply recognize, respect, and support the body's 'built-in' healing ability.
Corrective Massage recognizes the importance of balanced relationships, movements, and interactions throughout the body's soft tissues*. These relationships include natural anatomical positions and functionally balanced movement unimpeded by soft tissue tension.
Functional balance implies that our soft tissues are working harmoniously to support pain-free, healthy movement and function.
In Taum's world of Corrective Massage, considering all bodily movement as an orchestration of soft tissue relationships is a fundamental principle and starting point.
These foundational principles include familiarity with Equilibrium and Homeostasis. AKA Balance.
For example: Walking initially appears to be a simple activity. It actually involves a complex orchestration of numerous soft tissues.
A symphony of movement:
Our body requires over 200 of our 600 muscles to take one step. Of those 200, many serve as compensating adapters working in the background to keep us upright as we walk. While all our weight is on the right foot, those background muscles are adapting and counterbalancing so we do not fall over.
Each and every soft tissue plays a vital role in the body's ability to move and adapt to unbalanced tensions.
Our bodies can adapt to those tensions.
But only so far...
Limping is an example of crossing the adaptation line.
Pain serves as an alert that unbalanced tension has exceeded the body's ability to adapt, and corrective therapy is required.
The foundational focus of this unique therapy is to interpret the alert and then identify and correct the soft tissue tensions and imbalances that have created those alerts.
Corrective massage has repeatedly proven to be an efficient and effective method to reduce and relieve pain.

*Muscles, tendons, ligaments, membranes, and viscera.
The emphasis is balance and flexibility.
Taum's approach is based on his apprenticeship with Lauren Berry and his 40 years of study, practice, and teaching of The Berry Method®.
This 6-hour class focuses on corrective techniques for rebalancing the regional muscles that play a central role in maintaining balance and pain-free movement in the neck region.
This class not only enhances your understanding but also equips you with precision techniques, enabling you to understand and utilize powerful tactile tools for helping your clients.
Rest assured, this class is not just about theoretical knowledge.
It's about equipping you with practical, immediately applicable skills that will enhance your practice and benefit your clients.
Class includes demonstration followed by guidance through corrective techniques, including precise palpation and the corrective technique.

*Muscles, tendons, ligaments, membranes, and viscera.
When we are standing, our central nervous system is continuously monitoring, managing, and maintaining balance within our bodies relationship with gravity. This is an ongoing automatic unconscious process.
Consider that a behind the scenes at a primal level, we all share the common reaction to falling...
The medical term for this is 'Muscular-Skeletal Homeostasis' from the Greek words for "same" and "steady." Physical balance is an important component influencing Homeostasis and is active whenever we are upright.
When the upper back and neck regions are sending the 'pain' signal, one way to interpret the message is that unbalanced tensions have exceeded the body's ability to adapt.
