While there are a number of sites offering a short paragraph description of many modalities, there isn't a place to get a more in-depth overview. I am extremely interested in the lineage of the techniques we use. Many techniques with different names are closely related because they share the same ancestor modalities. I am also interested in the cultures modalities have emerged from. This project is, in part, another effort to describe the Bodywork Tree. As I started working on this site I thought it should be a resource for the massage community, therapists, students and educators especially, but possibly also advanced massage clients interested in getting a wide experience of modalities and an inside view of the massage world. However, such a grandiose concept ended up triggering all of my perfectionist impulses, and I let it languish until I could find the time to do it right. As we all know, that time never seems to come. So now my concept for the site is simply to collect information from around the web as I encounter it, for my own use and whoever else might find it amusing, and hopefully to synthesize better and more rigorous profiles. I will also be adding a section for tools and strategies to stand parallel to the modalities (styles) section. Again, just to collect things that make sense with my own experience working on clients. The quality of information is so variable on the web, it would be handy to have a place to point people who want to know more about what's going on with their adductors, for instance. The most indepth writing I did in pursuit of my original goal was on the following modalities:If there are writers out there who might like to participate in this, feel free to contact me: info at joancolemassage.com. It's very easy for me to add an author account if it piques your interest. If you are the developer of a modality I haven't included yet and want to write a section to be part of the site, I'd love to have your contribution. |
