THE STORY BEHIND BODYWALKING

A proprietary, NCBTMB-approved Therapeutic bodywork modality, built for practitioners who want to master it, and the clients who want and need it.

TAUGHT & DEVELOPED BY TOD MILLER

Tod Miller is a licensed massage therapist and 40-time Ironman finisher who developed the BodyWalking technique in 1989. Thirty-five-plus years on the table later, he still teaches every certification course personally, at Tod Spa in Old Town Scottsdale, not through a franchise manual or a hired training staff.

Alongside the core technique, Tod built a specialty in PTSD, Parkinson’s & Autism care that most bar-massage trainers don’t teach, a gentler, specialty application developed for communities that general massage training overlooks.

WHAT MAKES BODYWALKING DIFFERENT

BAREFOOT, BAR-ASSISTED TECHNIQUE

A proprietary deep tissue method that takes the wear off a therapist's hands and wrists, built for a full career, not just a few years on the table.

PTSD, PARKINSON’S & AUTISM CARE

A specialty application most bar-massage trainers don’t teach, developed for populations general massage training overlooks.

FOUNDER-TAUGHT, NOT FRANCHISED

Every certification course is taught personally by Tod, in the same Old Town Scottsdale studio where the technique was developed.
