Ahhh...this bodywork occupation is a strange thing isn't it. I find it difficult to join groups as I dont really 'specialise' in modalities.
My main interest is simply pain. I was very fortunate at UWS to have some great Osteopathic teachers, both those from the old school of private college edu in this great art & science, and more modern scientific thinkers.
As you are probably aware Osteopathy is a different animal here in the US......
There are many hundreds, if not thousands, of Doctors of Osteopathy here in the 'valley of the sun' (Phoenix), but only one I'm aware of who actually practices manual medicine. My licencing as a 'Massage Therapist' was the only option open to me.....but I still practice within all legislative parameters..ooops...running out of space...
Cheers
AJ

That is my biggie and is a week long for me. I go and help set up and take down plus volunteer in between classes. www.worldmassagefestival.com They have the cheapest CEU classes of all.
