The Morales Method® of Manual Therapy & Body Conditioning Certification Programs

 

The Morales Method® provides bodyworkers with powerful tools and knowledge to help their clients get out of pain, improve their posture, and empower them to move functionally with confidence and ease.  

 

The Morales Method® has four branches of study that lead to distinct certifications:  

All programs designed by Marty Morales employ advanced tissue palpation systems called the Concepts of Palpation and a philosophy/style of work that fosters constant research and progress.  Learn more about all of our programs below!

 

*Note: For all certifications, a signed license agreement between the practitioner and the Morales Method® is required. As part of the certification process of all programs, each student will go through testing, analysis, and evaluation of their knowledge, skills, and abilities for the purposes of certification (re-certification) of the following fields:

  • Manual Therapy

  • Body Conditioning

  • Bodywork and Structural Integration

In this program, the practitioner is introduced to a way of body reading, assessment, and a philosophy of work that follows the lineage of Dr. Ida P. Rolf.

A breakdown of the Morales Method Deep Tissue Bodywork Program Hours
This program is for the practitioner who wants to take their Deep Tissue Massage skills to the next level and separate themselves from the pack. A full and comprehensive training covering all aspects on the subject of Deep Tissue Therapy (including body mechanics), this 50-hour program has a rich legacy stemming from Ida P. Rolf and shares techniques used by many Structural Integrators.
Move in Mind

Move In Mind™

Move-In Mind™ is for anyone interested in the connection between the body and the mind. No former bodywork experience is necessary for this course. The student who completes this program will be skilled in teaching clients how to functionally engage the postural muscles, how to move from “the core” through specific sensory-motor imagery, and how to move mindfully, always supported by the act of breathing.

The techniques in this program will help your clients overcome motor conflicts and improve motor control, coordination, and fluidity. This modality provides bodyworkers, mental health practitioners, and movement educators who want to integrate, implement, or develop movement work based on neuroplasticity in their practice to maximize their effectiveness.

As of January 1, 2018 CA students will need to be CAMTC certified before taking the MMASI™ course in California.
