The Berry Method®
Corrective Massage Techniques For Rebalancing the Core.
Pain serves as an alert to excessive muscle stress and imbalance. Taum's classes teach efficient and effective techniques to restore balance and reduce stress. Expect guidance in his classes that helps you move your clients toward equilibrium and pain-free functionality.
Recognizing and understanding pain is essential knowledge, and achieving balance is the definitive path to relief.
Taum's classes deepen your understanding of the orchestrated symphony, which is the human body.
The "Why".
Licensed healthcare professionals often encounter clients and patients with chronic issues that include poor digestion, fluid retention, immune system dysfunction, or unresolved tension in the core systems of the body.
All indicating something is stuck, stagnant, and not moving.
Even with their extensive training, therapists can often feel limited in their ability to address these situations effectively. This can lead to frustration, client dissatisfaction, and missed opportunities to provide comprehensive care.
The Lauren Berry Method® offers core techniques for returning the body to balance and pain-free healthy function at a core level.
Taum's Rebalancing the Lower Back and Hips and Visceral Massage classes equip healthcare professionals with practical, targeted techniques to unlock the body's core systems of health.
Two Core Workshops for Licensed Professionals.
Taum's vision includes sharing the following:
A unique understanding and perspective on our muscular system and its role in our daily lives.
A path towards an active and knowledgeable approach to supporting the entire body's most vital and primary system in its most balanced, healthy, and functional pain-free state."

Testimonials.
JACOB: His parents, Joanna and Adam, brought two-year-old Jacob to me. Recent success with Jacob’s grandfather, Bugs, led the grandparents to recommend massage therapy for Jacob’s respiratory problems.
The late Roger Bliss had introduced me to the Lauren Berry Method®
of Message Therapy. After Roger’s death, Taum Sayers traveled from Truckee, California to North Carolina periodically to offer this unique therapy and teach classes.
I had recently completed the lymphatic class under Taum, and Mary, Jacob’s grandmother, hoped that something could be done to help her grandson.Jacob, diagnosed with suspected Cystic Fibrosis, had been hospitalized seven times for pneumonia in his brief two years. His blood oxygen levels were so low that, when he slept, his lips would turn blue, making his mother constantly fearful.
He had very little appetite. The local hospital had sent Jacob home and advised Joanna that there was little more that could be done to alleviate Jacob’s condition.Making no promises, I agreed to work on Jacob.
I did a lymphatic chest drain and massaged his back to widen the spaces between his ribs – intending to increase his lung capacity. During the procedure, his lips turned pink, and his breathing became noticeably easier.
He went home, ate three hot dogs, and, according to his grandmother, still has good color. She reported that he hasn't had a sniffle in the two months since our session.
At the time, I was dismayed that Jacob cried loudly during the treatment. In retrospect, his crying probably helped open his lungs and assisted in the healing process.
Only one session was needed to increase Jacob’s oxygen intake and to alleviate the constant fear of his parents.

If you ski, sooner or later you are going to have a knee injury.
When you do, you will be probably be told that surgery is the only alternative. Yet many knee surgeries are less than satisfactory and can actually make things worse. For example, the common practice of scraping away the lining of the knee joints, the meniscus, can sometimes result in too much play within the knee, leading to a degenerative condition in which the knee becomes increasingly unstable and requires further surgery.
Two years ago, I was launching off cornices and skiing extreme terrain with total confidence. My ski buddies included World Cup racers and many of the stars of the extreme world. Then, towards the end of the season, I was hit by another skier, who fled the scene, leaving me with two blown out knees. I was told by doctors that once the swelling was gone, I would require knee surgery in one and possibly both knees.
My first action was to book an appointment with Taum Sayers, a therapist that works with world class skiers and members of the 49's football team. Taum treated me with something called "The Berry Method®," which I would describe as chiropractic manipulation for muscles. Taum pushed and pulled muscles and ligaments in my knees, manipulating them into position, much the way a chiropractor manipulates bones. The results were dramatic and I soon could walk without crutches on. my injured knees.
About two weeks later, I met with Dr. Dean Stites, an orthopedic surgeon, for evaluation. Dr. Stites told me that he was surprised by the improvement and wasn't sure that surgery was still required. His recommendation was that I hold off on surgery and see how I did.
