Total Body Modification (TBM)

[Pam R]

I'm wondering if anyone here has heard of this modality, experienced it, or had training in it?

I heard of it when I recently had a massage and the therapist started telling me about this technique...and performing it on me! I had gone for just a basic one hour Swedish for relaxation, but asked for more time to be given to my back area (instead of arms/legs) due to back pain (or any area perhaps connected to that pain.) I came out of the session having received an odd mixture of this TBM and energy work which I still haven't been able to put a finger on!

I guess I'm looking for some feedback, info., input, anything? haha

I've googled TBM and found the training seminar website and a few chiropractors/therapists who practice it, but I want more info...even if it's to know if anyone else has even heard of this modality. I told my chiropractor (who practices craniopathy) about it, and even she had never heard of it.

thank you!

Total body modification, hmm...

With the people I know, "total body modification" would mean that they were tattooed, pierced, stretched, dyed and scarrified from head to toe. LOL

No, I've never heard of this modality...maybe you could post more about it if you have find info? I for one love hearing about new things.

Hi G! I will share all I know of TBM, but I've already covered mostly what I know of it, I think, lol.

I am with you in that when I've heard of body modification it's along the lines of tattoo, piercing, etc. haha

http://www.tbmseminars.com is the link to the TBM site that I found. It all just seems a bit elusive to me, as far as any description of what the process of the technique is. I guess anything seemingly secretive gives me a weird vibe. From what I can see, it appears there's some applied kinesiology involved, but thats not really anything new, right?

I've been a bit shocked that nobody that I've spoken with here or elsewhere has known anything about it. But when I was getting my massage the therapist said she thinks everyone needs to learn it. She just said it's not marketed?

I dunno, but I'm really eager to hear other's thoughts on it whether they are positive/negative/neutral. It's thrown me for a bit of a loop because I went to my massage and somehow ended up receiving this treatment without having any idea what it is. I'm a person who likes to know what's being done to/with me and my body before I sign up for it! I was already on the table when she started telling me about TBM and just started doing it--whatever exactly it is, which I still have little info. about!

WHAT ARE THE FEE'S?

Sorry, but I noticed this error above, and it set the tone for what I then read.

I think that website makes promises massage cannot guarantee to deliver.

It feels MLM-ish.

Those are just my gut reactions.

I've known a lot of Chiropractors who use this method. I think it may be marketed more toward DC's than to MT's, and sometimes (often) chiropractic methods do come off MLM-ish. I didn't even know a massage therapist could study it.
I've rec'd it, or some close renditions of it and it has been very helpful. I have to challenge whether it is something that would be in an MT's scope, though. I think it's worth checking on.

ok, I'm feeling a little dense, but what is MLM?

multi-level marketing, like pyramid scheme
