One
of Bob's missions in life is to empower his clients to live full,

the promotion of increased self-awareness, and by educating his

teaches his clients simple techniques and exercises to help them
maintain their healthy physical condition.

PUSH methods that is designed for adults of all ages. In addition
to the workshops, he delivers presentations on muscular self-care
principles and techniques for local colleges and organizations,
and holds demonstrations of his work at fairs and festivals throughout
the Denver area. See below.

many years, and holds a black-belt in karate. He was a graduate

Muscular
Self-Care Classes
Learn to "treat" yourself
or provide assistance to others on how to release those nagging
aches and pains.
Whether you are an active
athlete or a part-time gardener, and whether your injury is recent
or chronic, you'll learn specific techniques on how to keep your
body feeling good.
The Muscular Self-Care
class is a fun and interactive session designed for adults of all
ages. You'll learn some very basic anatomy, how muscles tighten,
and what you can do to release them. Participants use some basic
tools, cover some common muscular ailments, and have their special
concerns addressed.
Classes are currently
scheduled at the following locations. Please contact the site directly

Muscular
Self-Care Presentations
These presentations are
based on the popular Self-Care classes. Like the classes, they are
informative and entertaining, except that the hands-on activities
are either minimized or taken out. The audience will walk away with
the basic knowledge and techniques necessary to relieve their muscular
aches and pains. This talk has been well received by many professional,
academic, service, and athletic organizations where physical well-being
is a must. The talk can be adapted to fit a 30-60 minute time slot.
Please call Bob directly at 720-855-0769, or by email at bob@tenchtherapies.com.
Comments from some organizations:
"I would like to personally
thank you for your self-care presentation at CCD Dental Hygiene
School and I look forward to having you back in the near future.
Many of the students commented that you were both knowledgeable
and entertaining. Students felt that you presented information that
was very pertinent to their future profession and would be very
helpful to them.
We especially liked the
exercises and interactive nature of the presentation. The self-help
massage tool that you demonstrated was a big hit with the students.
Your message to the students of treating their bodies as the most
important tool they have supports what we've been telling them all
along. Overall, I believe it was of benefit to many and we truly
enjoyed having you talk to our students."

Community College of Denver
"Bob, the residents are
still buzzing about your presentation. They thoroughly enjoyed the
helpful information that was presented and are looking forward to
using the tools you provided them."
Melissa J. Clifford
Assistant Community Center Manager

"Your presentation was
great! You worked an initially reluctant crowd to the point that
they ACTUALLY ENJOYED BEING THERE! Thanks for stressing the importance
of proper muscle use and showing our instructors and students how
to practice your techniques on themselves...We would appreciate
the opportunity to continue to use you as a resource for our students
and Denver Academy of Court Reporting. Thanks again!"
