About Chuck Duff

Internationally recognized teacher of bodywork and trigger point therapy and originator of Coaching the Body. I am a former faculty member of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in the Oriental Body Therapies program. My work has focused on the integration of the traditional Thai massage approach with trigger point therapy, western clinical methods such as osteopathy and insights from acupuncture and TCM. I found that my traditional training taught me lots of techniques but I had little training in the analysis of what to do with specific clinical issues. This led to my development of Coaching The Body, intense study of Travell and Simons and writing my book, ENDING PAIN. I\'ve been fortunate to have helped a lot of people in serious pain during my career. I am an expert trigger point therapist and instructor and have been a featured speaker at the National Association of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists (NAMTPT) annual conference.
