Birmingham, Alabama – October 2024 – Dr. Val Nardo, LMT, M.Ed., Ph.D., an esteemed massage therapist, educator, and holistic health pioneer, proudly announces the launch of his latest book, JIN MO QI GONG. This comprehensive guide introduces a groundbreaking methodology, combining fascia-based deep tissue techniques with the ancient wisdom of energy healing, designed to enhance therapeutic practices and safeguard practitioners from burnout and injury.
This book represents more than a decade of research and practice, developed through Dr. Nardo’s workshops, lectures, and seminar presentations across the United States. His method, Jin Mo Qi Gong, offers an alternative to conventional deep tissue massage by emphasizing the use of energy flow and fascia manipulation, empowering practitioners to achieve deeper therapeutic outcomes without the need for excessive pressure.
“At its essence, JIN MO QI GONG is about working with the body’s natural rhythms instead of against them,” says Dr. Nardo. “The old-school thinking that ‘more pressure means better results’ often leads to pain, both for clients and practitioners. My approach offers a more sustainable way to heal—one that nurtures both the body and the professional delivering care.”
A Holistic Approach to Massage and Healing
In JIN MO QI GONG, Dr. Nardo draws on his expertise from both Eastern and Western traditions, offering a balanced perspective on how energy work and therapeutic touch intersect. The book provides readers with:
● In-depth insights into fascia’s role as the connective tissue linking body systems and influencing energy flow.
● A pain-free approach to deep tissue massage that produces meaningful, lasting results without discomfort.
● Visual step-by-step instructions demonstrating how to integrate Jin Mo Qi Gong techniques into existing massage practices.
● Guidance on Qi Gong exercises that enhance practitioners’ personal well-being and career longevity by promoting balance and resilience.
● Real-world applications that include feedback from healthcare professionals who’ve implemented these methods successfully.
Beyond technique, JIN MO QI GONG also reflects Dr. Nardo’s personal journey—one marked by exploration, education, and a lifelong commitment to helping others heal. With a compassionate and practical tone, the book not only teaches methods for better therapeutic outcomes but also emphasizes self-care for practitioners, helping them avoid injuries and enjoy sustainable, fulfilling careers.
