⭑Presenter Bio Geary Whiting⭑
Shiatsu Massage: The Art FOR the Horseman. Geary grew up with horses, chasing cattle, hauling hay, driving tractors, plowing fields, and showing animals at the local fair. It was his curiosity and his passion for athleticism that took him from the ranch and into the world of health and strength. But it was his interest in the art of Shiatsu massage that allowed Geary to develop an edge over other strength trainers. In 1981 Geary studied at the Shiatsu Massage School of Southern California in Santa Monica. Where he was presented the Outstanding Achievement Award for his contribution to the field of oriental medicine through the use of Shiatsu Anma.
Geary developed a successful massage practice, but it was in his athletic training programs that he saw how Shiatsu massage provided the quickest recovery for stressed and overworked muscles. His methods promoted optimal performance in athletes, and he was soon sought after by the world-class athletic community.
Geary brought his successful human Shiatsu massage practice to the Central Coast of California in 1990. A horse and rider accident spawned the idea of helping horses heal as well as their riders. It was 1995, a time when few had heard of massaging horses. Eventually, people saw wonderful results with Geary’s massage techniques.
