Irene Diamond
2013 Massage Therapy Hall of Fame Member




Irene Diamond's eclectic background started by sustaining a spinal cord injury and recovering from paralysis due to a broken neck. She created the world's original international fitness and wellness cruise company, performed across the globe as a professional dancer, and established San Francisco's first Wellness Center. Through her business mentorship and coaching, seminars and written words, she applies her knowledge and learned-in-the-trenches strategies and skills to improve therapist's clinical outcome and business financial success.

Dubbed a "Pain Reliever & Mover Improver for Bodies and Businesses", Irene was inducted into the World Massage Hall of Fame in 2013 in recognition of her contribution of the rehabilitation technique, Active Myofascial Therapy - The Diamond Method (TheDiamondMethod.com) and for her online business resource, Dream Practice Mastery Academy, where she teaches clinic owners how to attract affluent, appreciative clients.

Clinic owners can receive personalized marketing and business-success strategies through Irene's monthly gift Client Attraction & Marketing Trainings at IreneDiamond.com/qa.

While receiving manual soft-tissue compression the client is ACTIVE, rather than PASSIVE, actively contracting muscles and moving joints. AMT is the complete opposite of the "Outside-In" approach of traditional massage and other manual therapies. We lovingly refer to Active Myofascial Therapy - The Diamond Method as the "Inside-Out" approach because the change occurs internally as the client's nervous system controls the sensations, and guides the optimal clinical outcome.

Because the client is actively involved in their session and partnering WITH the therapist, the results are much more comprehensive, fast-acting, and long-lasting compared to when they passively receive the therapist's external application or modalities TO their body.

The Diamond Method's 3-pronged goal is to strengthen weak soft-tissue, release restrictions and tension, and reeducate neuromuscular control providing soft-tissue pain relief, injury rehabilitation and improved biomechanical and orthopedic mobility. The Diamond Method is super simple to learn and apply and it is extremely physically easy on the therapist's body.

This Class Includes:
The principles and application for incorporating AMT into your practice.

  • 3 of the 6 Active Myofascial Therapy hand "holds" to know where and how to apply manual pressure, letting the client 'do the work' in half the time.
  • 3 corrective movement patterns, (we call 'Actions') to suggest to your clients that they will integrate into their home care to support the results you are helping them achieve.
  • The 7-Step D.I.A.M.O.N.D. Clinical Framework you can incorporate into every therapy session you provide from this point forward, regardless of the method or approach to see outstanding clinical results.
  • Lots of hands-on practice and receiving The Diamond Method.
If you’re ready to finally provide solutions for complex myofascial-caused migraines, TMJ and neck complaints this is for you.

When You Incorporate AMT, You Can Achieve Head, Neck and Migraine Relief, Often Permanently!
