ABOUT
Do you suffer from pain, strain, or fatigue after clinical practice?
You’re not alone! A 2022 Canadian study found that over 85% of massage therapists experience work-related pain — most often in the wrists (65.5%), fingers/thumbs (60.3%), shoulders (55%), lower back (50%), and neck (49%). Nearly one-third considered changing their profession because of it.

James Has Been Where You Are!
During his training, James developed trochanteric bursitis and biceps brachii tendinitis, making clinical internships painful and discouraging.
Instead of giving up, he devoted years to research and clinical practice, determined to find a way for therapists to work without pain, fatigue, or injury.
From that journey came Anti-Strain Techniques — innovative, evidence-based methods rooted in biomechanics and ergonomics.
These techniques empower therapists to:
-
Treat 10–12 patients a day comfortably
-
Protect their own bodies from injury and burnout
-
Deliver treatments with greater ease and effectiveness
Transform the
Way You Work
Now, James shares his Anti-Strain Techniques through courses designed to help you build a sustainable, pain-free practice and extend your career with confidence.
Non-stop schedule, but no fatigue!
These photos show James’ real workday on May 8, 2023 —
treating 11 patients in a row from 9:20 am to 5:55 pm,
without a break.
How is this possible?
Because his Anti-Strain Techniques, rooted in biomechanics and ergonomics, make even the busiest schedule manageable — without pain, fatigue, or injury.
Despite the pace, every patient still receives deep, effective treatment with lasting results.
Testimonials
Ms. Vivian Peng, RMT (Kelowna, BC)
It is known to all RMTs that practicing proper biomechanics is essential to preventing strain. I had only been practicing as an RMT for two months, and despite following all the proper biomechanics I learned in school, I still had wrist pain and low back pain. I decided to take a chance with James' course: "Evidence-Based Deep Tissue Massage - For The 10 Most Common Conditions" and am so thankful that I did. James teaches an evidence-based method that is so wildly different from what I learned in school, yet so easy on the body. My mind was completely blown. I am now able to apply even deeper pressure on my patients with minimal stress on my body. I cannot recommend this course enough for anyone who is looking to increase their longevity in this profession while still providing the most effective and strain-free treatment on patients who need deep pressure.
