Our Story
Coaching the Body Institute teaches Chuck Duff’s revolutionary Coaching the Body modality for treating pain and dysfunction. Chuck was frustrated early in his career with his inability to consistently treat pain conditions using Thai massage. He threw out all assumptions and started over from the ground up. He developed CTB as a blending of traditional Thai bodywork techniques with Travell and Simons trigger point therapy and techniques from osteopathic manual therapy.
CTB employs compression and manual techniques on trigger point areas in muscles, along with specific joint movements to eliminate trigger points and retrain the nervous system to move without pain. We’ve developed the Muscle Liberator™ percussion tool as an incredible therapeutic accelerator, cutting therapy time to a fraction of previous expectations.
We offer an extensive online training library as well as three levels of in-person certification and a weekly online membership study program. For more information please visit http://thaibodywork.com.
