The Top 5 Bodywork Techniques I Keep Coming Back To

The Rebel MT Podcast

In my final podcast of 2025, I've got a short list of the top 5 bodywork techniques that I keep coming back to. Not because they're trendy. Because they work.

 

 

 

After decades of hands-on work, certain approaches keep proving themselves—not because they're trendy, but because they consistently help clients feel and function better. These are the methods I return to when the goal is clarity, change, and real therapeutic impact.

In this episode, I break down the top 5 bodywork techniques that have shaped my practice the most—what they do, when to use them, and why they've remained reliable through every phase of my career. Each one taps into a different pathway of the body, giving us options for restoring balance, movement, and ease.

Every client walks in with a different story, and these techniques give you room to adapt. Some work through the nervous system, some through mechanical change, and some through simple positioning and patience. Blending them thoughtfully can make your sessions more responsive, nuanced, and effective.
