About Howard RontalI have been a Certified Hellerwork Practitioner since 1985 and earned undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Michigan in the early 70s. My Hellerwork Training was conducted by Joseph Heller. I took five Hellerwork continuing education seminars in the first three years of my practice and continued to study privately with Heller during that time. I am also a Certified Myoskeletal Alignment Therapist (the work of Erik Dalton), a Certified Structural Integrator SM, and am licensed by the State of Hawaii as a massage therapist, as well as by the Chiropractic Board of Examiners, State of Maryland. I've been teaching and expanding the Myofascial Release Massage since 1991. Currently I am visiting faculty at two massage schools on the East Coast. I have certified three other excellent bodyworkers to teach my seminars — currently in Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia. For testimonials from some of my clients,
— What I Can Offer You — HellerworkAs a Hellerwork Practitioner I am trained to re-align the human body in the earth’s gravitational field. By the end of the 11 session Hellerwork series you will attain much better posture with much less effort and will notice that much chronic and acute pain, tension, and stress is greatly diminished or just plain gone as a by-product of the alignment process. I offer Hellerwork in its full presentation:
I also assign (with your permission) homework so that the better posture, the increased freedom of movement, and the insights you gained during the sessions are made part of your daily life. The Myofascial Release MassageThis work, which I developed and teach, is a much simplified version of Hellerwork in that it takes strokes from each of the 11 sessions and combines them into a one to 1/ 1/2 hour full body Myofascial Release Massage. Because I am intentionally and directly manipulating fascial tissue you will feel its relaxing effects from half a day to a week and cumulatively from session to session. If you like a deep massage you will love this work. Problem SolvingPerhaps the most rewarding part of my work is helping people who have tried many approaches but found little or no relief. I have a great deal of experience in working with specific issues. I specialize in
Because of the plastic nature of fascial tissue and the relatively non-invasive nature of my work I can be very, very flexible in my approach to your solving your problems. I don’t have to worry, as a surgeon does, that if I try one thing and it doesn’t work, that I will not be able to try something else. My problem solving work is also very useful when done in conjunction with chiropractic care and physical therapy. (A number of my students have gone on to work for both chiropractors and physical therapists.) Memberships

"The instruction was excellent: it was well thought out, specific in detail and yet not overwhelming." "Of the courses I have taken I would say it is in one of the top three." "Your course was the 76th I have taken and I feel I have the experience to know a good course when I take it." Daniel England
