** PLEASE NOTE: 

• Volunteers must be healthy and well to participate. NO painful movement issues, no bulging disc, etc. These sessions are not intended to treat ANY trouble spots or injuries. 
• There are no fees for these sessions (although donations are greatly appreciated.)
• All sessions are about 15 - 30 minutes long. 
• Each session typically involves a variety of treatment techniques while standing, sitting, or laying on a massage table in prone, side-lying or supine positions. (Please do not volunteer if you are unable to comfortably move through these positions.)
• Dress comfortably in loose fitting clothes that are easy for you to move in. Unlike massage, patients remain full clothed for these sessions. (Avoid buttons, buckles, belts or extra layers that make it hard to feel the movement of joints and tissues underneath.) 
  
• We invite you to volunteer as "study bodies" so we can gain much needed hands-on experience outside our classroom environment.  Please read the requirements before booking sessions.
