Julstro Method of Osteopathic Muscular Therapy (JMOMT) Training Program
Why Choose JMOMT?
The Julstro Method stands apart from traditional massage and therapy techniques. It is a comprehensive approach that focuses on treating the root cause of muscular pain rather than just addressing symptoms.
Key highlights include:
- Focus on Muscle-Bone Interaction: Learn how muscles and bones interact to identify the source of spasms and pain.
- Evidence-Based Approach: Built on the foundational work of Drs. Janet G. Travell and David G. Simon, authors of Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual.
- Holistic Perspective: Understand how one muscle can affect another, leading to spasms or overstretching, and develop logical treatment plans.
Benefits for Massage Therapists
Whether you’re new to the field or a seasoned professional, JMOMT offers unique advantages:
- Flexible Application: Treatments are done fully clothed, without oils, and can be performed outside the office.
- Interactive Learning: Study at home using online videos, textbooks, and workbooks. Participate in forums, webinars, and teleseminars for deeper engagement.
- Self-Treatment Techniques: Learn methods from Julie Donnelly’s books like Treat Yourself to Pain-Free Living, empowering you to teach clients self-care.

- Students log practice hours online to document results and refine skills.
