DEEP MASSAGE: THE LAUTERSTEIN METHOD
How to Combine Structure and Energy in Bodywork
with David Lauterstein, RMT, Cert.ZB
Wednesday AUGUST 17th – Saturday 20th, 2016
At the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork
If you touch the tissues in a manner that causes the nervous system to relax and energy to flow, you will have the optimum therapeutic benefit. “Deep” is not about pressure; it is about cultivating the individual touch interface that optimally responds to dis-ease, dis-position and destiny. DL
Deep Massage – ‘The Lauterstein Method’, enables the massage therapist to engage with the logic, vitality and beauty of the human body and is David’s unique approach to structural and energetic bodywork. It has its roots in the traditions of Zero Balancing, Rolfing and Cranio-Sacral Therapy.
David Lauterstein is author of The Deep Massage Book: How to Combine Structure and Energy in Bodywork, Co-founder, The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School, recipient of the 2012 and 2013 “Educator of the Year” awards in the U.S. from the Alliance for Massage Therapy Education and AMTA. He has been an enamoured friend and student of Fritz Smith since 1986 and ZB faculty member since 1996.
The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School: www.tlcschool.com
The Venue:
The Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork
109 Pembroke Road,
Clifton,
Bristol BS8 3EU
The Dates: Wednesday 17th August, 9.00am for 9.30 start.
Finishing on Saturday 20th August, late afternoon, around 5.30pm.
The Cost: Earlybird £320 before March 1, 2016 (£360 thereafter).
Prerequisites: Basic Deep Massage
The prerequisite for Basic Deep Massage is that your scope of practice includes touch. Zero Balancers, Massage therapists, Chiropractors, nurses, and other hands-on health professionals are all welcome.
The Deep Massage Book is required course material for all participants. The cost is £35 including p&p and is available from Sue English. s.english@zen.co.uk.
David’s teaching will broaden your anatomical knowledge, and your understanding of the dynamic life of soft tissue. The effect of the work is unique and deeply satisfying to the mind and spirit, giving your clients a new sense of themselves. Participants will practice with each other enabling them to get valuable feedback as they work.
Deep Massage I
This will give students the skills to complete a Deep Massage session that addresses the entire body. At the heart of this method is the ability to touch energy as well as structure, simultaneously and consciously, with soft tissue fulcrums. This will include an exploration of David’s model of Seven Dimensions of Touch. They will also learn how to use working signs to optimize touch and session design. You will be able to give your clients a complete session when you leave the course.
Prerequisite: Massage or Zero Balancing, or other bodywork qualification, see above.
Deep Massage II
This will introduce different ways to address specific areas of the body – building on what has been previously learnt. You will refine your understanding of Deep Massage theory, learn techniques for deeper muscles and ways to work in side-lying and seated positions.
Prerequisite: DM I
Deep Massage III
There are the words, then there is the song. DM III both deepens and elevates the theory and practice of Deep Massage. Students will explore how to integrate the fulcrum and the Seven Dimensions of Touch into their massage, adding wisdom and artistry to their work, and deeper satisfaction and wellbeing to their clients. DMIII includes tutorials with individual attention.
Prerequisite: DM I and II
These three classes will run concurrently, joining the three groups together for most lectures and discussions, with participants at the different levels working in their individual groups for their hands-on practice.
This workshop will offer 26 hours CPD
There is a three-workshop program leading to certification in Deep Massage: the Lauterstein Method. Those who have already taken Deep Massage workshops with David can count them towards the process.

NEW to BCMB – Massage in Schools Programme
We have a special opportunity at BCMB this year. We are able to offer the Massage in Schools Programme (MISP), open to practising Massage Therapists, teachers or indeed anyone who might be interested in becoming a Massage in Schools Instructor. We are very lucky to have Rod Davies, President of MISA International, with us in Bristol.
MISP is a child-to-child massage programme, developed as an inclusive strategy for reducing children’s stress levels, aggression and bullying. Well structured, simple yet highly effective, the programme is supported by extensive research. This shows amongst other things improved concentration and motor skills, reduced bullying and aggression, better cooperation between children.
The clothed, peer massage is:
- For children 4-12 years old
- Given and received with the child’s permission
- Given by the children, to each other
- On the back, head, arms and hands
- 10-15 minutes daily
All children ask permission from each other before they start and say ‘thank you’ at the end.

Some great feedback from the Mobilising Massage workshop that Andy ran a couple of weeks ago…
“I thoroughly enjoyed the mobilising massage workshop and learnt an incredible amount of new techniques.
