Clients & Associates "Dianna Linden is unique among massage therapists. She is an expert at identifying the different problems in muscle tissue, from spasms to weak muscles. Dianna, with her expertise, works not just symmetrically, but therapeutically balances the muscles. When clients come to me from her sessions, the muscles are soft, my adjustments effortless. She has instructed her clients to ask me what they can do to prevent the misalignment from recurring. I show them the proper exercises to correct weaknesses and restricted ROM. I know she expands on my instruction and reinforces their effort because compliance is higher with her referrals than the general population of clients. My 12 years of collaborating with Dianna has renewed my faith in what the field of massage therapy can offer to the community of health practitioners." –Franco Columbu, DC, PhD. Mr. World, Mr. Olympia, Mr. Universe, World Powerlifting Champion http://www.columbu.com     "I first met Dianna Linden at a certification seminar I was teaching for the International Sports Sciences Association in Santa Barbara, California in 1996. Dianna stood out to me because she asked great questions– some of the best I’ve ever encountered during my 8 year experience as a presenter. I found it refreshing to encounter a student who actually challenged me, despite having no formal experience as an exercise professional. Since that time, Dianna and I have formed a close professional relationship, working together with a variety of athletes, from World-class to regional level in several different sporting disciplines. One of the most important things I’ve learned from Dianna, and something I hope to get across to my reading audience, is that massage therapists, much like any other class of professionals, vary greatly across ranks. I often joke that her fingertips have little brains of their own– she has an astounding ability to immediately locate damaged tissue, and then, using a wide range of techniques and therapeutic modalities, heal, or at the very least, improve the condition of that tissue." – Charles I. Staley, B.Sc., MSS Conditioning Specialist, Author, Lecturer, Consultant http://www.myodynamics.com   "Dianna Linden has a unique combination of talents: deep intuitive understanding, profound spiritual insight and an extensive and thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology. She brings all these to bear in her body work. In my work I am continually reminded of how much misery is caused by acute and chronic injury to soft tissue, muscle and joints and how little Western medicine has to offer the patient with such complaints as back pain, rotator cuff injury and repetitive strain trauma. That is why, when I see patients who have these conditions, I send them to the one person whom I know can help them Dianna." – Leslie J. Blackhall MD     "Dianna Linden has literally saved my ass more times than I can possibly recount. For nearly twenty years I have been amazed by her skill, sensitivity, and knowledge of bodies. Her broad interdisciplinary mastery of a wide variety of body work disciplines, and her ability to come up with solutions that fit the case at hand rather than applying a fixed set of skills, make her a priceless resource." – Stephen Nachmanovitch, Ph.D.   __________________________________________ Home | Contact | Biography | Articles | Clients | Links
