South Bay Bodywork

Back from Florida

If you’ve been wondering of my whereabouts, I just spent two weeks training with great leaders in the field of sports massage, and honorees of the World Massage Hall of Fame.

Aaron Mattes, whom I’ve trained with in Las Vegas ’09 had a seminar in his hometown and location of his clinic in Sarasota, FL. He is the creator of Active Isolated Stretching (AIS), a method of assisted stretching used by elite athletes, trainers, and therapists.

I’ve personally used this method for the last 4 years with great results as a cool down from my strength training. Some have attributed my mobility to my life in AcroYoga, but that’s only once or twice a week. AIS I do just about every day to get my work day started. However, it wasn’t until coming to Florida and hearing from the teachers themselves the remarkable balance of my muscle mass and its elasticity.

The following week just 13 miles away, James Waslaski was also in town holding his Orthopedic Massage seminar. Orthopedic Massage combines various modalities, in particular my training in Deep Tissue Structural Bodywork & Active Isolated Stretching, and scientifically matches the techniques required to address the specific movement problem caused by repetitive use, injury, or just bad habit. This training fills in a lot of gaps, but opened up 10x more holes. Just as James said “the more I know, the more I realize I don’t know”.

As of today, I’ve started Whitney Lowe’s 120 hour Orthopedic Massage online course with a goal to certify with both James Waslaski and Whitney Lowe in 2012. Here’s to lifelong learning.

Updated BW Card

With the recent change to my work hours I was in need of an updated BW card. Overnight Prints handled the prints once again with the same great glossy front, and matte back. Made changes from feedback received with the initial run of my last BW cards. Fixed the BW logo watermark. Also changed the phone number for direct booking at Burke Williams Day Spa in Torrance, CA.

So until the next batch of feedback, this design should be here to stay for a while. Thank you all.

No More Saturdays

Neil Camero — Mon, 30 May 2011 20:31:03 +0000

Many missed Saturday shenanigans the last 2 years, but starting July 1st I will no longer work Saturdays at Burke Williams Day Spa in Torrance, CA. This is the first change to my schedule, and fortunately for my regular clients not that drastic of a change. I will continue to be your evening therapist, but instead of Saturdays I will be working Fridays. You can schedule your massage with me Sunday, Monday, Thursday, or Friday from 3-9PM. Don’t have your parties on Fridays now.

New BW Business Card

Only took about 2 years of being employed at Burke Williams Day Spa in Torrance, CA to finally produce a proper business card. Sorry! But here it is printed in a limited number from the good folks at Overnight Prints.

A luxurious glossy front with a subtle eye catching BW watermark. On the back is what clients (new and old) have asked for again and again…what are your work hours? Also a matte (non-glossy) back plus ample writing space for notes/specials.
