My name is Mike O'Hara, and over the last 25 years I've
developed what I consider one of the more
efficacious massage sequences found anywhere in the
Pocono Northeast. The session takes 70 minutes to
complete, it's affordable, and it has an audacious intent:
to reconstitute your entire disposition.
This sequence is built around the
traditional Swedish model of massage, the kind you find at

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
better health clubs,
resorts and spas.
It also incorporates
elements of
Eastern techniques
as well as
movements associated with sports massage.

The purpose of this massage sequence is not
remedial, meaning I focus less on alleviating
physical conditions that annoy you. The intent,
on the contrary, is forward-looking, proactive if you will, aimed at enhancing your ability
to engage life to a fuller degree.

If you don't feel the effects for up to two or three days, I consider your time on the table to be a failure. For an extended discussion of the proactive nature of this massage, scan through the highlights of my online book on
sports massage.

All factors considered, and at the risk of possible
self-delusion, this could be the leading massage video of its type in the world:

The published literature in the field of bodywork is extensive, but the
definitive work has yet to be written. To that end, let's review highlights from some

of interest to both
beginner and
