Technique is the means, awareness is the guide
Something About Me
A vocation that passes through the hands
Everything stems from an authentic need: to come into contact with people's bodies.
A necessity that goes beyond the gesture, beyond the technique.
A passion that materialized fifteen years ago, but that has lived in me since adolescence.
From the very beginning I perceived massage as a form of deep listening, a silent language capable of welcoming, understanding, and transforming.
Through the hands, an invisible dialogue is created that speaks of care, presence, and respect.
Even today I wonder if I chose this path, or if it chose me. Perhaps both.
What I know is that the desire to make those who trust me feel better has never left me.
It is the engine that has shaped my professional and personal life.
And every encounter, every body, every story, continues to fuel the deep meaning of what I do. Because touching is not just a physical act. It is an act of the soul.
Who I am
Hi, I'm Renato, MCB Massage Therapist, Operator and Instructor of Namikoshi Shiatsu with a multidisciplinary background that integrates traditional techniques and modern approaches in the field of well-being and manual therapy.
Over the years I have built a path of training and research that has led me to study and practice in Italy, Japan, Spain, Netherlands.
In this professional and personal journey, I have deepened my knowledge in disciplines such as:
- Shiatsu Namikoshi
- Shiatsu Aze
- Sotai Ho
- Ken Yamamoto Technique
- Tsuchizawa Method (Fascial Atsu)
- Mindfulness applied to manual treatment
Alongside these are fundamental techniques such as lymphatic drainage, connective tissue massage, sports massage and decontracting massage.
My passion for touch intertwines with a deep interest in anatomy, which has driven me to study not only from theoretical texts and three-dimensional models, but also directly within real bodies, to fully understand the complexity and uniqueness of each structure
The turning point that leads to the choice
From this journey and as a result of a continuous search for answers, I developed Muscolosophy, an approach that integrates technique, awareness, and presence.
A manual philosophy that aims to bring more consciousness into the therapeutic gesture, making massage a tool for deep, accessible, and transformative well-being for those who receive it, but also for those who practice it.
My work is aimed at those who seek in treatment not only physical relief but also an experience of listening and evolution.
Holistic practitioners, massage therapists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, and anyone who works with the body and emotions can find in Muscolosophy a valuable tool to integrate into their own practice.
“The body speaks. The hands listen.
Touch, when it is conscious, heals.”
