The Finesse Massage Technique

Specialties

Many moons ago, Deborah Bruce was an industrial designer. She learned to look for the most elegant and simplest ways to solve complex 3D problems. After her massage career began, Deborah still had the impulse to constantly search for ways to make each client’s session more effective.

Starting with bio-​kinesiology, Deborah studied different ways in which the human body adapts to growth and experience, as well as to injury, disease, and aging. After understanding the underlying biological basis of both normal and disordered movement, she first developed the basic principle of using the finesse of compression, instead of force.

After Deborah first harnessed this ability, she spent the intervening years refining her techniques into a modality that is science-​based, easy to communicate to others, and effective. She also made sure that it was easy to practice for the therapist– with no more sore hands, wrists, or back.- as well as relaxing to the client.

She then realized that she could bring this new modality to the world at large, and voila. FMT has been born.

Because of my love for my vocation, I have continued my education every year since I graduated from the Boulder School of Massage Therapy in 1979. I even learned how to post on Yelp. I became a massage teacher in 2010 and I delight in sharing my 37 years of experience with my students.
