Lowe is a massage education pioneer at the forefront of massage continuing education and development. Not satisfied with the old boundaries of what constituted effective massage education, Lowe has forged ahead toward the unlimited opportunities that exist with innovations in educational technology and theory. Join Whitney Lowe as he explores new territories in the practice and teaching of therapeutic massage.
Whitney’s first DVD, Lowe’s Orthopedic Massage: Neck, Back, & Pelvis, is now complete!
Note: The DVDs are FREE with the Online courses and we are still running the $100 special for all 3 DVDs.
Testimonials:
“As a former producer, I know how difficult it is to get it all right when you’re shooting instructional content. Yet, you made it look like you got it in one “take.” So congratulations on a job well done.” Marilyn K.
“Just wanted to let you know that your DVD is ‘excellent.’ You did an excellent job. What a great accompaniment to your workshops and the on-line courses. Thank you so much. I look forward to the other DVDs. BRAVO! Gail R.
We are continuing production on DVD 2 now after some production changes. We have a new editor who is turning out to be a whiz at all of this and will add even more to this production.
Thanks to all who have purchased the DVDs.
The main specials are over, but you can still benefit from Whitney’s superb training.
We will continue to offer a special price for the online Orthopedic Massage courses until the economy starts to recover. You can still get a package price that offers the certification test for free. And anyone needing both books will continue to benefit from our special price for both.
Check these offers out on the relevant pages (books, continuing education, or DVD) and also in our “Shop” site.
Enjoy!
We are unveiling a brand new look for our Orthopedic Massage 1 (Neck, Back, & Pelvis) course this fall.

Click here for instructions on how to get there. These updates require a great deal of new work so we will only be running Orthopedic Massage 1 this fall and then will unroll the same updates to Orthopedic Massage 2 & 3 when they start in January.

There has been a great deal of buzz lately about the recent announcement from the NCBTMB regarding their advanced certification credential (tentatively scheduled for spring 2010). There is still considerable controversy within the profession about an advanced credential and a number of serious issues that must be sorted out. I have written before of the [...]
I recently came across an advertisement for an essay contest in one of my favorite magazines, The New Scientist. The essay contest was asking if science could end the need for animal research. The ad asked: “Can you envisage how advances in technology—perhaps stem cells, tissue engineering or computer modeling—could end the need for animal [...]
