LOU BENSON

Lou Benson has been studying the 3-dimensional moving puzzle of the human body for nearly 30 years, first as an athlete and amateur bodybuilder and beginning in 1990, as a student of massage therapy. She has developed and taught beginning and advanced courses in anatomy, bodywork and movement awareness for massage therapists and yoga teachers for many years since.

Lou is a certified practitioner of both Aston Patterning and Kinesis Myofascial Integration (KMI). She has also had extensive training in orthopedic work for soft tissue injuries, with an emphasis on myofascial and neuromuscular applications.

In addition to founding and teaching courses through The Bodywork Education Project, this year Lou happily rejoins the faculty at Kinesis. She maintains a private bodywork practice in Cambridge, MA, where she still loves working to help people feel better in their bodies and to swim against the tide commonly accepted as normal aging. Lou’s goal as a therapist and teacher is to infuse her work and that of her students with increasing sensitivity, specificity, curiosity and consciousness.
