PPS Seminars

PPS Bodywork is not centered on chasing pain or treating tissues that hurt. Instead, PPS focuses on inflammation and the tissue that inflammation creates: scar tissue. This scar tissue forms long before pain appears and often becomes the true driver behind chronic pain patterns. Rather than working directly on painful areas, PPS teaches therapists how to identify where inflammation has altered tissue behavior, how scar tissue has reorganized muscular systems, and how these changes create compensations that eventually produce pain. By addressing the underlying cause instead of the symptom, PPS allows pain to resolve rather than temporarily quieting it. This mentorship trains therapists to think clinically, trace pain back to its source, and work with the body’s healing systems instead of against them.

PPS mentorship is not a class and it is not a typical certification program. It is a six-month clinical mentorship designed as the next level of training beyond massage school and standard continuing education. While massage school provides foundational competence, PPS mentorship focuses on developing clinical reasoning, pattern recognition, and confident decision-making through guided application.

The mentorship is structured as an apprenticeship-style training experience. Over six months, mentees work directly with a PPS Clinical Mentor through one-on-one coaching, group clinical training, and supervised client case reviews. The focus is on applying PPS concepts in real client situations, refining assessment skills, and learning how to think through complex pain patterns rather than memorizing techniques.

Clinical mastery does not develop through content alone. One-on-one coaching allows your PPS Clinical Mentor to review your specific client cases, help you troubleshoot challenges, refine your clinical decision-making, and support confidence and sustainability in your practice. This individualized guidance is what separates mentorship from traditional coursework.

All client case discussions are conducted using HIPAA-compliant processes. Provided forms must be signed by your client prior to cases being reviewed. This allows the 1:1 coaching to maintain professional boundaries while the therapist learns deeply about the clients needs and appropriate applications.

PPS mentorship is designed for licensed massage therapists who already have hands-on experience and are ready to move beyond technique collection. This training is for therapists who want deeper understanding, consistency in results, and a structured way to refine their clinical thinking. It is intentionally not beginner-level training. There is an application process to become a PPS mentee.

No. Requesting information simply allows you to learn more about the mentorship structure, expectations, and next steps so you can decide whether it feels aligned for you.
