✨Now Free for Subscribers: MENOPAUSE for Bodyworkers

Just added to the A-T Subscription (or own the course - on sale this week)
Perimenopause and menopause affect nearly half the population, yet many massage therapists receive little training on how these changes influence pain, movement, sleep, and overall wellbeing.

In this practical 85-minute conversation, Ruth Werner joins Whitney Lowe and I to explain the science behind menopause and translate it into safe and effective bodywork strategies. Learn how to recognize common menopause-related presentations, adapt your work to clients’ changing needs, and better support their comfort, function, and quality of life.

A great three days in Portland! 🌿

This past weekend, we led a hands-on exploration of Balance & Equilibrium—looking beyond fall prevention to explore how balance, spatial orientation, postural adaptability, proprioception, and nervous-system regulation influence the way we move and function at every age.

Thank you to everyone who brought their curiosity, skill, and willingness to learn and practice together!

I doesn’t teach in person often, but I’ll be returning to Portland October 23–25 for:

• Knee Issues
• Leg, Knee & Foot

The workshop will explore practical approaches for knee pain and injuries, joint and ligament conditions, surgery recovery, stability and movement limitations, and more.

💥New Episode!

Episode 177:🎙 Clinical Reasoning, or Clinical Improvisation? (with Whitney Lowe & Til Luchau)

The Thinking Practitioner Podcast

Every good protocol, recipe, or routine is designed to be outgrown. The trouble is that almost nobody tells you when.
Protocols are how most of us learned: a sequence, a recipe, a named technique for a named condition. They reduce cognitive load when you’re new, they keep you and your client safe, and they let you know what to do next. And then, at some point, they start to get in the way — because real clients are complicated, and they rarely arrive looking like the textbook.

What a great group in Alaska! 🙌

Advanced-Trainings faculty member Bruce Nelson spent the day diving into my Advanced Myofascial Techniques: TMJ & Jaw Issues — a hands-on exploration of an area that can have a surprisingly big impact on our clients.

Jaw tension and TMJ-related issues can show up in so many ways—from jaw discomfort and restricted movement to tension patterns involving the face, head, and neck. This work gives manual therapists new ways to think about and work with these complex relationships.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for a full day of learning, practicing, asking great questions, and sharpening their hands-on skills. What a fantastic Alaska crew! 🏔️

A rare chance to study with me in person - and be among the first to take this new course.

BALANCE & Equilibrium
August 21-23, 2026
Faculty: Til Luchau, Bruce Nelson, and the A-T Faculty

“I teach relatively few public in-person classes these days, and this one is entirely new. Join me in Portland to be among the first to explore Balance & Equilibrium—a practical, hands-on training in helping clients become steadier, more adaptable, and more confident in movement.”
--Til Luchau

Balance and equilibrium shape far more than fall prevention. They influence how people of every age orient, regulate, adapt, and move through daily life.

In this new course, you’ll explore the relationships among balance, spatial orientation, postural adaptability, proprioception, and autonomic regulation. Through concise lecture, guided awareness, assessment, and hands-on practice, you’ll learn practical Advanced Myofascial Techniques you can begin using right away.

You’ll leave better prepared to work with:

* Balance challenges and postural adaptability
* Mild vertigo, dizziness, and equilibrium concerns
* Confidence and stability in standing, walking, and everyday movement

Episode 176: 🎙 Becoming Friends with Movement (with Nuria Bowart)

The Thinking Practitioner Podcast (with Til Luchau & Whitney Lowe)

Tell Nuria you’re “not really a mover” and she won’t argue. She’ll just say: maybe you’ve forgotten.
Most of us learned to work on bodies that hold still. Nuria Bowart — dancer, movement artist, Certified Rolfer, and a Mestra in Capoeira — lives at the opposite pole, where the body is always moving, listening, and playing. Til sits down with her to explore a deceptively simple question: how can those of us who work with our hands become better friends with movement — not as one more thing we prescribe, but as listening, relationship, play, and a way of being more at home in ourselves?

🎙 Becoming Friends with Movement (with Nuria Bowart)
📌 Save the date: early December 2026 in Boulder, Colorado — as a result of their discussion here, Til and Nuria are teaching a collaborative workshop for bodyworkers, hands-on and moving, both. Details to come at https://advanced-trainings.com
Tell Nuria you’re “not really a mover” and she won’t argue. She’ll just say: maybe you’ve forgotten.
Most of us learned to work on bodies that hold still. Nuria Bowart — dancer, movement artist, Certified Rolfer, and a Mestra in Capoeira — lives at the opposite pole, where the body is always moving, listening, and playing. Til sits down with her to explore a deceptively simple question: how can those of us who work with our hands become better friends with movement — not as one more thing we prescribe, but as listening, relationship, play, and a way of being more at home in ourselves?
Along the way they get into Fascial Intelligence, the Axis Syllabus, Contact Improvisation, and Capoeira — and what each one teaches about touch, agency, aging, and befriending the unknown.
✨ We talk about:• Why “maybe you’ve just forgotten” is Nuria’s answer to anyone who doesn’t think of themselves as a mover• Fascia as a constellation of intelligences — and listening as the core point of access• What changes when we start with the body’s design and options, instead of fixing• What Contact Improvisation reveals about weight, gravity, and arriving together in the present moment• Capoeira as a healing art: play, risk, vulnerability, and responding creatively to danger• Aging as a “mystery school” — and movement as the micronutrient of longevity• A simple practice for the week: finding the moment you don’t know what to do, and staying there to listen
