What is Summa Teq.?
“Summa” - meaning the sum of all knowledge in a field
“Teq.” - Technique or method
The methods covered in this book are the most unique ones as to what Summa Teq. has to offer. Licensed massage therapists or physical therapists can learn how to become a superhero therapist by learning Summa Teq.
The humor and light instruction in this book should be seen as only an overview of the training that a licensed therapist can be taught with in-person or video training in Summa Teq. You can eventually learn the skills to read a person with one touch of your hand, with or without the sight of your eyes.
There’s a code of honor and respect for yourself and the person in your care. You will be able to build trust not by words alone but with the skill of Summa Teq. methods and your own intuition.
Building a relationship of trust does take a form of communication. This communication is based on the atmosphere you create which includes your work space, your energy and personality, and how you can verbally chit chat to get to know the body on the table. If language is a barrier, use your space, methods, and energy to convey comfort. One hand on the body will tell you how much a person needs you.
Through unique and standard deep tissue and sports massage techniques combined with passive movements to the body, you can manipulate the tissues and the brain to relax tension on a whole new level.
Therapists trained in Summa Teq. do not need to verbally advertise their deeper skill with the body until they have complete trust and have had success. Instead, you will let the person in your care figure that out on their own. It has to be their revelation that your skill is unique and successful. There is no place for an ego in Summa Teq.
