First, let's carefully listen to the presentations of Daniel and Phil. Please click this link

Daniel reported three years of terrible, disabling suffering from pain in the lower back. As his doctor explained, this pain was the result of disc herniations, and if epidural injections didn't help, surgery would be necessary. However, the injections didn't work, indicating that disc herniations and spinal stenosis were not responsible for the painful clinical picture. My non-surgical treatment made a difference, and after three years of suffering and disability, he could return to normal function. The secret to this success will be revealed in the further presentation.

If we pay close attention to Philip's presentation, it becomes a real personal tragedy. I addressed his neck and headache disorder using the protocol presented in program number 4, and for concussion rehabilitation, I used the protocol presented in program number 15. For lower back disc herniations and spinal stenosis, I used the massage protocol presented in program number one. So, what is the secret key to success?

The main causes of lower back pain, including but not limited to sciatica, often involve cases of fascial/muscular insufficiencies. In the vertical position, most of the weight-bearing is carried by muscles such as iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis, and QL muscles. When these muscles build up tension, they become insufficient to bear at least 78% of the weight. Weight-bearing is an unavoidable force, and in cases of muscular deficit, it gets transmitted and distributed to intervertebral discs, facet joints, and ligaments. These components, originally not designed for weight-bearing, are already injured and constantly exposed to additional trauma, leading to an increase in the size of disc herniations and spinal stenosis. Tension in the gluteal group of muscles, including the Piriformis muscles, can also contribute or  being the main first cause responsible for the clinical picture.

In program number one, in addition to teaching how to perform five kneading techniques, soft tissue diagnosis for detecting and eliminating built-up tension within the fascia, and how to perform Lewitt's post-isometric relaxation techniques, as well as active movement therapy for the lower back, I teach how to address all the main causes. Sometimes these causes, collectively, are responsible for the clinical picture. If you carefully view and listen to Philip's presentation, between the lines, you will hear a story about human tragedy and losing hope. In the end, his voice started shaking. An appropriately applied massage protocol can make a significant difference in the lives of people.

The main question doctors couldn't answer for him was, "What is the reason for hypertonic crisis and sustainable hypertension? Why didn't medications work?" This case was presented to me 15 years ago. It was abundantly clear to me that the vertebral artery was compromised by muscles, rendering medications ineffective. To be frank, under the supervision of his doctors, he was facing a life-threatening situation. During one hypertonic crisis episode, where his blood pressure spiked to 230/150, the risk of a massive stroke or heart attack leading to death was a looming prognosis. Today, thankfully, he continues to write software, manages a great garden, enjoys tasty vegetables and fruits, and lives a wonderful life.

In program number two, I explain step by step how to release pressure on the vertebral artery. I elaborate on a special method to directly address the stimulation of the vertebral artery, along with teaching how to perform full-body medical stress management. This aims to balance autonomic activities and sustain a higher threshold within baroreceptors/pressoreceptors.

The actual secret presented in this program is addressing the root causes that trigger hypertension.

The clinical picture in cases of fibromyalgia is devastating, with individuals experiencing pain throughout their bodies, clinical depression, and disorientation, rendering them practically disabled. Approximately 35 years ago, patients displaying fibromyalgia symptoms, despite inconclusive lab tests and radiological means, were often referred to psychiatric care. It is noteworthy that once antipsychotic medications were introduced, these patients rarely returned to a state of normalcy. The entire complex of fibromyalgia syndrome originates at the muscular level and, therefore, necessitates treatment targeted at the muscles. In this regard, a medical massage protocol proves to be the most effective approach for fibromyalgia cases.

To better comprehend how massage can aid in fibromyalgia cases, a brief discussion of anatomy and pathology is warranted. Muscles are enveloped by fascia, a connective tissue crucial for determining muscle stretch and contraction. Importantly, fascia also serves as pathways for nerves and blood vessels. In cases of fibromyalgia, prolonged pathological hypertonus in muscles results in tense fascia, causing compression of muscle fibers, nerve tissue, and blood vessels. This irritation initiates and eventually leads to the development of fibromyositis. The persistent muscle tension in fibromyalgia cases induces strain on muscles and tendons, inevitably leading to inflammation. This inflammatory condition prompts the deposition of calcium in muscles and tendon attachments, termed fibromyositis. Chronic inflammation in the musculoskeletal system triggers secondary changes in neurotransmitter levels and activities in the central nervous system, which become evident as chronic pain sets in.

The sustained tension in skeletal muscles further affects fascia, aponeurosis, and other soft tissues, causing a decrease in elasticity and influencing microcirculation. This tension, coupled with a mismatch between motor nervous commands and insufficient arterial blood supply, initiates changes in local pH, activating pain receptors and causing the patient to experience pain. After weeks or months of such chronic pain, changes in neurotransmitter activities become apparent, with an increase in substance P and a decrease in serotonin levels. Substance P is responsible for slow or chronic pain conduction through the spinal cord, while serotonin is vital for bodily functions such as smooth muscle contraction and blood coagulation, in addition to its role as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Clinical depression, often accompanying fibromyalgia, correlates with a significant decrease in serotonin concentration in the brain.

In program number 3, Boris provides a detailed explanation and a hands-on, step-by-step demonstration of a medical massage protocol for fibromyalgia cases. Additionally, Boris teaches Manchurian acupressure for tension headaches, which proves beneficial when treating fibromyalgia patients. The program includes a demonstration of full-body massage and movement therapy. Importantly, these techniques are not only applicable to fibromyalgia cases but are also useful and beneficial in treating other unrelated conditions.

Speaking about the power of medical massage, it is safe to assert that in certain exceedingly challenging cases involving disabling patients, conventional medicine finds itself powerless. This leaves individuals in a state of perpetual suffering, dependent on the continuous consumption of potent medications, among other difficulties. The question arises: why do we, in some instances, succeed where conventional medicine falls short?

To unravel this mystery, let us first meticulously examine the case presentations provided by patient.. Subsequently, I will offer explanations and delve into the protocols I have successfully employed to address these challenging cases.

Dear colleagues, what was the reason that all this doctors have had no answer” about these symptoms he simply shrugged his shoulders and said "it is out of my hands".
To shed more light on the significant advantages offered by medical massage, particularly in diagnostic assessment and treatment planning.

Traditional diagnostic tools such as CTs MRI, while invaluable in many respects, have limitations when it comes to detecting tension buildups within muscles and fascia. Myofascial syndromes, which can lead to disabilities and persistent suffering, are often challenging to identify through standard medical imaging. In cases where MRI findings do not align with clinical phenomena, patients may receive prescriptions for steroids, no steroids anti-inflammatories, painkillers, or gabapentin. However, sustained results through medication alone can be elusive in myofascial syndromes. Through my training and teaching experiences, I have honed the ability to examine soft tissues with my fingers, detecting abnormalities and utilizing specially designed massage techniques to address them effectively.

Another scenario involves instances where MRI findings suggest conditions like sciatic nerve neuralgia resulting from disc herniation, leading to surgical recommendations. By palpating and detecting tension buildups within muscles such as the Piriformis, I have been able to develop and implement a specially designed protocol, preventing unnecessary surgeries.

Just for the record, this patient has been suffering since 2019. Naturally, my first step was to carefully listen to the patient's case presentation. Before conducting palpation and soft tissue examinations to assess motion range and other factors, it became evident that this individual was grappling with significant and challenging typical postsurgical myofascial dysfunction, including but not limited to a compromised brachial plexus. In his testimonial, the patient referred to it as a major nerve issue.

I proceeded to implement the entire medical massage protocol that I teach in my program number 4, which you can find details about here: please click the link: https://www.medicalmassage-edu.com/products/ceu-volume-4.htm

Science-Based Detoxification and Cleanses Program

It is absolute misinformation for the general public when it comes to detoxification and cleanse programs. A simple Google search for "full body detoxification and cleanses" yields thousands of products, all claiming to cleanse and detoxify, along with different diets making similar claims, many boasting scientific evidence for cleansing and detoxification. However, I couldn't find a single reliable study supporting diets or supplements causing full-body detoxification. In my opinion, all these diets and supplements are nothing more than a commercial drive, creating an image for a multibillion-dollar market.

In general, regardless of the diet or supplements consumed, the byproduct is toxins. Metabolic waste is considered toxins, and the lymphatic system, in addition to being part of the immune system, plays a crucial role in disposing of metabolic toxins. Nowadays, due to poor air and water quality, engineered food, and increased medication consumption, we excessively produce and accumulate metabolic poisons. The current highly stressful routines also lead to insufficient lymphatic drainage and disposal of metabolic toxins, contributing to the excessive accumulation of toxins in our bodies.

Program number 5 containing step-by-step full body detoxification lymphatic drainage techniques, as well as   Bronchial Drainage in Asthma & Bronchitis Post-Event Sports Rehabilitative Full-Body Massage. As you can see this program packed with educational material.

As you know, today on-site office massage therapy services are in high demand. Manage reduces the levels of workplace stress in employees thus helping employers to save huge amounts of money. An increasing number of corporations big and small are contracting massage therapists.

Usually, because of the inability to apply lubrication in an office environment, massage therapists are only employing chair massage techniques for the upper back and neck. But only the upper back and neck massage are not enough. For effective stress management, it is very important to perform lower extremities mobilization. Boris in details clearly demonstrates how to perform massage for the upper and lower extremities with the client in a seated position. In fact, Boris demonstrates a complete (full body) comprehensive treatment. To achieve this, instead of lubrication, Boris demonstrates chair massage techniques utilizing silk; an ancient old Chinese method of performing a massage.

Not always a massage therapist has a massage chair in his/her disposal. On this instructional video, Boris presents an alternative/modified technique that allows providing effective treatment without a professional massage chair.

Also on instructional video #6 Boris demonstrates and provides instructions on how to perform Manchurian acupressure for tension headaches. This set of acupressure points is usually capable of rapidly relieving even the most intense headaches. This short acupressure procedure provides benefits not only for headache sufferers. Those receiving this treatment without having a headache experience a boost of energy and greater mental clarity.

At the end of this instructional video, Boris demonstrates the full-body techniques on posterior parts on silk. Performing massage on silk is convenient not only because a person doesn’t have to disrobe, eliminating the need for lubrication, but also allows mobilize much deeper tissue. Also on this instructional video, you can find the exercise program for the neck, which helps to break the vicious cycle of accumulation of tension in the cervical region.

Each demonstration provides you also with a detailed explanation of the topics. All protocols introduced in a simple straightforward manner that allowed practitioners to rapidly learn and implement the presented material on clients.

Once, sports massage was the privilege of professional athletes only. These days it is almost a necessary skill. A large number of gym and fitness enthusiasts who work out just as hard as professional athletes (and who are often become massage clients) need rehabilitation from their training/workout routines. Almost for three hours, Boris presents a non-stop demonstration of the scientifically designed protocol for post-event rehabilitative sports massage, including the deepest tissue mobilization techniques in existence.

The instructional video also presents the sequence of post-event rehabilitative stretching for almost all regions of the body, which is critical for reaching results. Additionally, Boris explains and demonstrates pre-event sport massage techniques for the entire body.

Each demonstration provides you also with a detailed explanation of the topics. All protocols introduced in a simple straightforward manner that allowed practitioners to rapidly learn and implement the presented material on clients.

As you know, nowadays the plastic surgery industry is booming. One of the popular plastic surgeries is cellulite reduction. On instructional video #8, Boris explains and demonstrates step by step massage technique for cellulite reduction. Additional to a hands-on protocol for cellulite reduction, Boris offers a demonstration and explanation on the utilization of Chinese cupping techniques.

Nowadays, the Maxillofacial Pain Academy declared that at least 25 million Americans suffer from one or more symptoms of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, such as headaches, neck pain, buzzing in the ear, etc. Also, they stated in their declaration that in most cases, the symptoms are often misdiagnosed. On instructional video #8, Boris explains and demonstrates in detail how to perform the treatment for cases of TMJ dysfunction. The explanation and demonstration include massage therapy techniques, trigger point therapy, and post-isometric relaxation.

Today, dentists offer a 30-minute electrical stimulation to reduce the tonus of the masticatory muscles in order to eliminate the painful symptoms of TMJ. We are 100% positive that electrical stimulation for 30 minutes is not the most effective treatment from the perspective of tension reduction in the masticatory muscles, and that it causes side effects such as high blood pressure, trigeminal nerve neuralgia, etc. On the other hand, massage therapy for TMJ disorders is very safe and effective.

Each demonstration provides you also with a detailed explanation of the topics. All protocols introduced in a simple straightforward manner that allowed practitioners to rapidly learn and implement the presented material on clients.

Please keep in mind that on instructional video  volume 8 Boris performs a clear step by step hands-on demonstration and provide you with a detailed explanation on the topics. The instructional video covers much much more. All protocols introduce in a simple straightforward manner that allowed practitioners to learn fast to the extent of the implementation on clients who suffer from a particular disorder.

The variety of problems, which can be addressed by the techniques covered in instructional video #9, gives a massage therapist a plethora of tools to add to his/her repertoire. Poor circulation to the lower extremities means poor circulation to the heart and brain, and can be a major factor leading to heart attack, stroke, etc.

On instructional video #9, Boris demonstrates a hands-on step by step protocol of how to treat patients with peripheral vascular diseases. Additionally, Boris presents a hands-on demonstration of hip disorders, greater trochanter disorders, knee disorders, Achilles tendinosis and tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis.

Please take note that exercise program, which is important in achieving effective and lasting treatment results for the knee, and myofascial tissue techniques and trigger point therapy are covered as well.

Each demonstration provides you also with a detailed explanation of the topics. All protocols introduced in a simple straightforward manner that allowed practitioners to rapidly learn and implement the presented material on clients.

If you would like to understand the real physiological effect of massage on the human body and would like to incorporate energy work into your treatments as well as to be able to protect your own energy status from being influenced by the negative energy of your client, you must purchase instructional video #10, which covers the above-mentioned topics and more.

Boris refers to this instructional video as the jewel of the set. On this instructional video , he presents the incorporation of hot stones in the treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome, lower back disorders, knee disorders, and full body massage techniques. In great detail, he explains the mechanism of trigger point therapy and why not to use hot stone in trigger point therapy. In addition, Boris explains the difference between stress management and relaxation massage.

All protocols introduced in a simple straightforward manner that allows practitioners to rapidly learn and implement the presented material on clients.

This approx. 4 hour instructional video  is a real celebration of Boris’ many decades of clinical, research, and educator experience.

Trigger point therapy

Boris explains the causes for the formation of trigger points, the morphology of trigger points and offers the reference to trigger point therapy study.

The mainstream beliefs that rest and time will allow the human brain to heal, and recuperate from trauma.

It’s proving to be a wrong approach, and in most cases, especially when a person receives repeated brain trauma, with time and due to post-traumatic degenerative developments within the brain, people developing dementia, movement disorders, psychiatric behavioral disorders, sleep disorders, chronic headaches, and other encephalopathies’ related disorders.

On this instructional video Boris presents the theoretical concept as well as demonstrating a step-by-step hands-on massage protocol, that was developed in 1964 by Soviet scientist, neurologist, and medical-massage practitioner, professor Alexander Dembo MD. Ph.D.

Since 1964 this protocol was clinically proven to be a powerful methodology for post-concussion rehabilitation, prevention of brain Dysfunctions.
