Today I’d like to tell you a little ‘bout my friend and colleague Massimo De Angelis. Not only is he a certified Ohashiatsu practitioner, an advanced postural trainer, but he’s also one of the most health-knowledgeable and down to earth people I’ve ever met. So, you may ask… What in the hell does this have to do with wellness??? I’m telling you this because Massimo opening the door to a workshop for people in the wellness and fitness industry to learn skills in postural analysis, postural alignment, postural training, and how to commence in a balanced postural program. (Basically, some of the things I wasn’t taught in skool).

So, Massimo has diligently translated an entire curriculum from Italian to English, and created a forum to invite his mentors from Italy to offer the Advanced Posture Training Workshop. They are collectively: Andrea Manzotti, Claudio Suardi, Dario Crippa, Stefano Zambelli whom will be teaching with Massimo and are the Head Instructors & Technical Directors of the International Sport Sciences Association Italy among other prestigious associations in Europe. They are the creators of this unique postural training philosophy which based on rehab science and myofacial muscle tracts.
