In this episode of The ABMP Podcast, Doug Nelson explores the concept of bidirectionality - the mutual and reciprocal influence where each factor shapes the other. He discusses how physiological changes during a session affect both client and therapist, and how moments of shared connection and humanity remind us of the profound healing power of touch. Host: Douglas Nelson is Board Certified in Massage Therapy and Therapeutic Bodywork, beginning his career in massage therapy in 1977.  Seeing over 1,200 client visits annually for decades, he is also the owner of BodyWork Associates, a massage therapy clinic in Champaign, IL. with 21 therapists that was established in 1982. He is the founder of NMT MidWest, Inc., providing training in Precision Neuromuscular Therapy™ across the USA. He has personally taught more than 13,000 hours of continuing education and is the author of three books. Doug is a past president of the Massage Therapy Foundation.

The work of Anatomy Trains originated with founder Tom Myers, who mapped the human body into 13 myofascial meridians in his original book, currently in its fourth edition and translated into 12 languages. The principles of Anatomy Trains are used by osteopaths, physical therapists, bodyworkers, massage therapists, personal trainers, yoga, Pilates, Gyrotonics, and other body-minded manual therapists and movement professionals. Anatomy Trains inspires these practitioners to work with holistic anatomy in treating system-wide patterns to provide improved client outcomes in terms of structure and function.                      Website: <a href="http://anatomytrains.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anatomytrains.com</a>                        Email: <a href="mailto:info@anatomytrains.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">info@anatomytrains.com</a>             Facebook: <a href= "http://facebook.com/AnatomyTrains" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">facebook.com/AnatomyTrains</a>                       Instagram: <a href= "http://www.instagram.com/anatomytrainsofficial">www.instagram.com/anatomytrainsofficial</a>   YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2g6TOEFrX4b-CigknssKHA" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2g6TOEFrX4b-CigknssKHA</a>    Precision Neuromuscular Therapy seminars (<a title="http://www.pnmt.org" href= "http://www.pnmt.org/">www.pnmt.org</a>) have been teaching high-quality seminars for more than 20 years.
