Training for therapists who want clients saying “that’s the best session I've ever had”
Bob has spent 15 years booked solid from word of mouth alone. Surgeons send patients to him; sports athletes drive 3 towns over for a bodywork session. They all say the same thing: “It feels like surgery without the incision.”
Bob’s “secret” is equal parts intuition and repeatable method – heat, tools, structural integration, and patient homework. This deep tissue massage training course distills those steps so your hands learn the bodywork shortcuts his took years to discover.

Why upskill in The Tricomi Method® bodywork massage?
Why Us?
Fascia is the stretchy web covering every muscle, bone, and nerve. When trauma, repetitive motion, or poor posture makes it sticky, blood flow stalls and nerves fire. Traditional massage skims the surface; the Tricomi Method® targets the root cause of the pain:
- Warm tissue “melts” like butter, allowing painless depth.
- Manual therapy plus heat frees adhesions other techniques miss.
- Clients experience life-changing pain relief and tell their friends, filling up your calendar weeks out.
The Tricomi Method® turns ordinary appointments into genuine transformations and positions you as the go-to deep tissue massage therapist in your area.

- Nerve entrapments like sciatica and tingling arms
- Whole-body tension that robs clients of restful sleep

Bodywork classes for massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, and more
Who it's for
We designed these bodywork classes for professionals who already know muscles by name, yet suspect fascia holds the real magic. If anything below sounds like you, this course is a great next step in your career.
- Deep tissue massages help your clients, but results slip by the third day.
- Clients ask if you “do cupping” and you’re not 100% confident.
- You want advanced massage training that justifies a higher rate.
- You’re a massage therapist, physical therapist, personal trainer, chiropractor, acupuncturist, or other licensed practitioner who wants to deepen their practice.
What you’ll learn in The Bodywork Masters Training Program
Accent heading
Master heat-assisted fascia work, learn how to trace pain to its true source, and coach clients on after-care. Finish the training program ready to solve cases other massage therapists refer out.
Heat-assisted myofascial release (MFR)
Discover how gentle, targeted warmth “melts” fascia in minutes, letting you work twice as deep with half the discomfort, so clients feel safe and relax sooner.
Deep tissue & trigger point therapy
You’ll learn to trace pain along fascial chains, release stubborn knots, and use foot pressure points (reflexology) to support systemic relief.
Dynamic cupping techniques
Master stationary, sliding, and negative-pressure stretches. We cover setup, movement pace, and finish protocols that boost circulation.
Gua sha & scraper strategies
Use medical-grade tools to break down adhesions. You’ll gauge pressure, angle, and speed so tissue smooths fast, leaving minimal redness and maximum glide.
Joint & structural integration
Blend gentle traction, oscillation, and positional release to restore shoulder, hip, and ankle movement. Combine with heat so “frozen” areas thaw noticeably within a single appointment.
Assisted stretching
Give clients lifestyle and movement cues that keep fascia sliding. Happy bodies plus easy homework raise compliance and your reputation without lengthening sessions.

Frequently asked questions
Still wondering? If we missed something, please get in touch with our team, we’re happy to answer any questions you might have.
Get in touchDo I need prior cupping or scraper experience?
No. The course starts with safety basics – sanitation, pressure testing, and client communication – before moving into live practice on classmates and real clients.
How big are the deep tissue massage classes?
We cap each cohort at a small number of 6 therapists so we can correct body mechanics and tool angles for everyone. Seats are first-come, first-served. Book now to secure your place.
Will using heat and tools tire my hands less than regular deep tissue work?
Yes. Heat does the initial softening and tools distribute pressure, reducing thumb strain and wrist fatigue compared with thumb-only deep tissue sessions.
What if an emergency forces me to miss part of a live weekend?
Contact us right away. We’ll work to place you in the next available lab session at no extra charge so you can complete your 25 required hours.
Can I market myself as a Tricomi Method practitioner after graduation?
Absolutely. Graduates receive a printable certificate and language you can use on your website, menus, and social media.
How soon can I raise my rates or add a premium service tier?
Many alumni introduce a fascia-focused upgrade as soon as they finish the course. Faster, longer-lasting client results support a higher fee structure.
