TYPES OF PROVIDERS:
LICENSED BODYWORKERS:
Doctors of osteopathic medicine (DO): Osteopathic medicine is a complete system of health care with a philosophy that combines the needs of the patient with the current practice of medicine. DOs practice a whole-person approach to preventive medicine, focusing on the body's ability to heal itself. Using a technique called OMT, or osteopathic manipulative treatment, physicians use their hands as a primary tool to diagnose and treat illness, injury, and impaired function.
Non-physician osteopath: Non-physician osteopaths are doctorally trained members of the healthcare system whose training and practice are largely limited to manual therapeutic techniques. The regulation of non-physician manual medicine osteopaths varies greatly between jurisdictions.
Doctor of chiropractic (DC): Practices a modality of complementary medicine based on the diagnosis and manipulative treatment of misalignments of the joints, especially those of the spinal column, which are held to cause other disorders by affecting the nerves, muscles, and organs.
Physical therapist assistant (PTA): Physical therapist assistants are under the direction and supervision of a physical therapist. Physical therapists may direct components of a patient/client's interventions (treatments) to a PTA. PTA's provide a variety of physical therapy techniques as they carry out the physical therapist's plan of care for the patient, including therapeutic exercise, functional training, deep soft tissue massage, and physical modalities such as electrotherapy and ultrasound. The physical therapist, PTA, and the patient/client then work side-by-side to make sure that the goals of the plan or care are met.
Physical therapist (PT): Physical therapy or physiotherapy is a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialty that remediates impairments and promotes mobility, function, and quality of life through examination, diagnosis, prognosis, and physical intervention including exercise and manual therapy.
Occupational therapist (OTR/L): Occupational therapy is the use of assessment and treatment to develop, recover, or maintain the daily living and work skills of people with a physical, mental, or cognitive disorder.
Licensed or certified massage therapist (LMT, CMT, or LMBT): LMTs or CMTs who meet the licensing requirements of his or her jurisdiction perform massage and bodywork; incorporating a myriad of manual modalities such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, accupressure, reflexology, neuromuscular techniques, among others, their goals ranges from relaxation to therapeutic pain relief and structural integration, depending on the goals and needs of their client.
Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.): Licensed acupuncturists practice traditional Chinese medicine, including acupuncture. The acupuncturists on this list are trained in other modalities that are appropriate for treating babies, such as CST. An acupuncturist's license may provide them with a manual therapy license to touch.
NOTABLE BODYWORK TECHNIQUES:
Craniosacral therapist (CST): Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on healing modality that focuses on the wave-like rhythmic pulse that goes through the entire body. This therapy stems from osteopathy, which is an approach that emphasizes the role of the musculoskeletal system in health and disease. Many of our providers have craniosacral training in addition to their current license. CST is a technique, NOT a license to touch in and of itself. All CST providers on this list have been verified to carry a concurrent license to touch.
Craniosacral fascial therapist (CFT): This gentle manual massage therapy uses slow interactive pressure and stretch techniques to assess and release restrictions of connective tissue in the whole body, including the head. The name Craniofascial Therapy (CFT) was coined in 1992, condensing myofascial release and craniosacral therapy into one term, to better describe the fascial nature of restrictions and release, including the head. Principles and techniques are derived from applied anatomy, giving the therapist a tangible tactile appreciation of body issues.
Certified Infant Massage Instructor or Trainer (CIMI, CIMT or CEIM): Infant massage instructors or trainers teach parents and caretakers infant massage techniques. CIMI, CIMT, or CEIM are not hands on licenses, but resourceful modalities that equip parents with do-it-yourself techniques.
TummyTime!™ Method Professional (TTM):
The TummyTime!™ Method was developed by an occupational therapist in order to optimize tongue and oral function, cranial shape, postural integrity, nervous system regulation, parent/infant connection, and development. A wide variety of health professionals are trained to teach TummyTime!™, however, the individuals on this list are licensed to touch and can offer intentional therapeutic TummyTime!™.
ORAL MOTOR/MYOFUNCTIONAL/FEEDING FOCUS:
Speech language pathologist (SLP): Speech-language pathology is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a Speech-language pathologist (SLP), or speech therapist, who specializes in the evaluation and treatment of communication disorders and swallowing disorders. While not technically bodyworkers, SLP's can provide myofascial release and bodywork techniques in order to address speech and feeding issues within their scope of practice. Please clearly communicate with these providers regarding your expectation for bodywork.
Orofacial myofunctional therapist or Certified orofacial myologist (OMT or COM): Specialize in the treatment of orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD), or abnormal resting posture of the orofacial musculature, atypical chewing, and swallowing patterns, dental malocclusions, blocked nasal airways, and speech problems. OMD interferes with normal growth, development, or function of structures. Typical OMDs include tongue thrust, thumb sucking, clenching, bruxing, that lead to abnormal development of dentition and oral cavity. While OMT's or COM's are not bodyworkers, we have included them in this provider list because functional movement is essential for full tongue habilitation.
Registered nurse (RN): A registered nurse is one who has graduated from a college's nursing program or from a school of nursing and has passed a national licensing exam. While RN's are not licensed bodyworkers, they carry a license to touch, and many of them are trained in bodywork techniques or trained as IBCLC's.
International board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC): An IBCLC is a health care professional who specializes in the clinical management of breastfeeding, certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners®, Inc. Some of our providers may have IBCLC (or CLC - Certified Lactation Counselor) qualifications in addition to their bodywork license. IBCLC's do not carry a manual therapy license to touch.

Journey of Motherhood 3500 Westgate Dr Durham NC 27707 Phone: (919) 698-9110 Email: journeyofmotherhood@gmail.com Website: www.journeyofmotherhood.com/ I am a licensed massage and body therapist in practice since 1986. I have received training in Craniosacral Therapy (through both the Upledger Method and the Biodynamic Craniosacral Association) I studied Myofascial Therapy with John F. Barnes PT and am a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practioner. Throughout my career I have recognized the power of gentle touch and movement to bring greater awareness and potential for optimal function and ease. This holds true for human beings of every age. I have worked with infants throughout my career and have found great pleasure in teaching parents simple techniques to use with their babies as both an infant and newborn massage instructor. Over the past several years my work with babies has included a focus on those with tethered oral tissue and other fascial and motor restrictions that create difficulty with feeding. In addition to my massage practice I have a busy and very fulfilling practice as a birth doula. |
