Gary F. Remes, LMT: I had been introduced to bodywork as a child living with my Ukrainian grandfather, who used his knowledge of the body to rehabilitate both horses and people. My grandfather understood that proper muscle balance was required for healthy and pain-free posture. His understanding, added to what I learned about the musculo-skeletal system as a butcher, and further advanced by what I learned about tendencies and patterns leading to breakdown while working as an auto mechanic, fueled my hunger to learn whatever it took to really make a difference in people’s bodies and to eliminate their pain.
My studies eventually led me to develop an integrated approach I call Neuro-Fascial Re-education (NFR). NFR includes acupressure points, neuromuscular trigger points, myofascial release, unwinding, cranio-sacral techniques, and neuro-emotional kinesiology (addressing the mental-emotional components sometimes related to physical distress).

One of Remes’ attainments is the development and practice of a highly effective technique called Neuro-Fascial Re-Education, NFR. This method brings the body into a state of homeostasis: balance. Remes has taught this procedure at the Namti School of Massage in Sedona, Arizona, and now teaches it in Boulder, Colorado.
As a licensed therapist for 29 years, Remes’ experience includes employment at many of today’s prominent establishments and private practices, including the Spa Hotel Palm Springs; Mii Amo Spa and Sedona New Day Spa, both in Sedona, Arizona, and the Ko’a Kea Hotel & Resort on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, where he was Spa Manager.
