Bodyworkers who have taken Stuart Taws'   (Soft Tissue Release Technique) workshops say:

I just wanted to drop you a line.  I only have a part time practice and before taking your seminar in April 6-9 2000, My clientele was off and on.  some weeks good, others terrible.  however, since April my part time hours have been totally booked and I only advertised once!!!  The results I have had are faster than I could ever imagine and with much less effort on my part.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!  I am also glad

I purchased your seminar tapes. I constantly go back over technique and the information you gave is invaluable.  I always hear or see things I did not catch before.  Again,  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!  

Thank you so much for refreshing my practice and my soul !

Stuart Taws Seminar put everything into perspective.  Knowledge is power and STR technique is powerful.  STR Techniques open up Many Possibilities for pain relief.  As a therapist, you are only limited by your lack of Imagination through the planes of movement.

Stuart Taws is a great teacher and extraordinary person.  If you only take one seminar in your lifetime - THIS IS IT!

What a delight taking your seminar! " It was the shot in the arm" to my practice I have applied STR to about 10 of my chronic clients with wonderful results.  STR has made an immediate and profound effect on all.  I am tickled pink at the results.

Your workshop this summer in San Luis Obispo presented not only a totally new approach but changed the way I work on my clients to a more holistic, client involved, super fast technique that leaves all involved stunned with the results!  Soft Tissue Release Technique enriched my "bag of tricks" like nothing else.

I am recruiting and encouraging massage therapists and personal trainers every chance I get, to check out your web site, order your tapes and if at all possible enroll in one of your workshops.

I've used your techniques ever since I took the first workshop in Spokane, 3/96 ... The Taws Technique, or STR,
is absolutely the best treatment EVER! I use it in every single massage I do. I do specific treatments or I
integrate it into a relaxing massage. Even when people specify that they want only superficial massage, I still do
STR on the neck rotator cuff, and gluteals, piriformis. People love it. Sometimes they don't really realize that it's
the massage that helped them have less pain. I gently remind them that the massage was a key piece to their
recovery. I am very grateful to you for sharing your work with us. Thank you so much!

In an attempt to describe soft tissue release in one word, that word would have to be - Outstanding! Never
before have I learned a more viable technique in such a short period of time. The teaching style is unique and
easy to learn from. The Taws Technique produces immediate results, is easy to incorporate into any practice,
and is appreciated by both the practitioner and patient. It is simple to learn the masterful "lock and key"
techniques that will help heal your clients and other professionals as well. If you ever have an opportunity to
attend this workshop, you will learn and profit from it. I did and will forever be grateful.

Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge. STR makes a difference! People come in with pain and leave
thinking you really didn't do much - then call you two or three days later in total disbelief. Pain - Gone!!!

I took your class in Newton, Kansas in November '95 and have been using it ever since. May God Bless You.

Where can I begin? The seminar was simply the best I've ever taken. Best in presentation, but more importantly,
the work is so usable and effective. I've used it with several of my clients and they were delighted.

They left relaxed, but energized, instead of so deeply relaxed that they're ready for bed. It energizes me too, I
enjoy working with them; guiding and breathing. I can feel that the tissue releasing is deeper and more thorough
without having to work at plowing through tissue. Other techniques then further release and relax already deeply
cleansed tissue.

The workshop gave me a powerful tool in a simple concept. STR makes so much sense, it appeals for a number
of reasons, but especially the speed.

I must say that the seminar exceeded my wildest expectations. The technique is amazing! Incredibly simple but
just as incredibly effective. We watched as body workers who had been in pain for various lengths of time (some
up to years) found relief. These are people who receive bodywork, know and understand the work, but had not
found relief previously! I personally received relief from a nagging rotator cull and lower back problem. And now
I know the technique to keep myself and my clients pain-free! Forgive me if I sound effusive, but it is difficult to
contain my excitement regarding this technique. I highly recommend the seminar not only to female
bodyworkers, but to anyone interested in increasing the effectiveness of their work.

To whom it may concern:

It is without reservation that I offer testimony to the expertise I have personally experienced while under the
care of massage therapist Mr. Stuart Taws. As a background, I had been suffering from severe low back pain
for approximately two years prior to seeking help from Mr. Taws. During that period of time I had undergone
trials of physical therapy, epidural steroid injections, trigger point injections, and facet blocks with no significant
relief. After four treatments of Soft Tissue Release by Mr. Taws I have had a dramatic improvement in my
symptoms such that the subjective pain complaints that have been so disabling to me have decreased by about
75%. I have found Mr. Taws to not only be competent as apparent from my decrease in symptoms, but also I
have been impressed by his professional manner and compassion.

As a medical practitioner I have been impressed by Mr. Taws' Soft Tissue Release program as an alternative to
more traditional and invasive therapy in treatment of certain types of chronic low back pain.
