About Dr. Mally
Dr. James Mally is a massage teacher, educational content producer, and creator of MassageLibrary.com. He has been doing massage professionally since 1976 and teaching massage classes since 1979. His initial training was a 1000-hour massage program at Lindsey Hopkins School in Miami. He later attended Bastyr University in Seattle where he graduated as a Naturopathic Doctor in 1984.
In 1990 he founded Healing Arts Institute, a California state-approved massage therapy school. He owned and directed the school until 2011, and graduated over 3000 massage therapists during that time.
He produced his first massage video, Deep Tissue Massage, in 1996. The video employed a 3-D computer skeleton and is believed to be the first massage video to use 3-D computer graphics. He went on to produce other videos (now DVDs) and workbooks on Sports Massage, Swedish Massage, Side Lying Massage, and Massage Cupping. These DVDs and workbooks are being used in massage schools worldwide. His Side Lying Massage DVD has been translated into Japanese and is very popular in Japan.
Dr. Mally sold his massage school in 2011 so he could have more time to see massage clients and to develop, practice, and refine massage techniques. He operates a teaching practice where he works with massage therapists and their problem clients, sharing assessment techniques and strategies to help the clients. Selling the school also allowed Dr. Mally to travel more to teach his workshops internationally, do more DVD production, and to develop an online massage library at www.massagelibrary.com.
Dr. Mally was inducted into the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame in 2018.

Integrated Pain Relief with Joseph Carter L.Ac.

A note on this class from Joseph…
I’m a very lucky person, I found my calling in hands-on natural healing when I was 18 years old – and for the 45+ years since then, I’ve been “workin it” via private practice, teaching, and creating healing arts classes and programs. In that time, through my experience with 1000’s of clients and 10,000’s of sessions I have learned numerous safe and effective ways of using acupoints and plant medicinals (herbal products) to relieve pain and help people change and transform their “Pain Recipe”.
My Pain RELIEF Recipe revolves around holistic treatment; not just treating the pain of a specific physical location, as in Back Pain, Wrist Pain, Knee Pain, etc., but rather including “the location of the pain” with a broader understanding of a client’s nervous system, mind, body and spirit. I am a champion of treating the part AND the whole, for greater and longer-lasting results. My Integrated Pain Relief class selects and teaches Key Acupoints, Essential Oils, and CBD products that will help YOU treat YOUR client’s pain in a broader and more integrated way. For this class you could easily say I will distill down decades of practice into 6 hours of highly relevant Clinical Tips you can use immediately to Work Smarter, Not Harder, AND Get Great Results. As you incorporate these tools and techniques into your practice, you will find your Results become your best advertisement and best referral source.
