Meet Gina Schatz
Developer of THE SCHATZ METHOD™
“There is something tremendously rewarding about helping people be well and empowering them to live healthy lives.”
Gina Schatz is a Nationally Board Certified massage & bodywork therapist licensed in New York, Ohio and California with a liberal arts BA in physical science and psychology. Gina is also a Registered Yoga Teacher & approved continuing education provider. While in Cleveland, Gina was director and creative mind behind Cleveland’s first integrated wellness clinic.
In 1993, Gina started and still is the owner of her own successful private practice. The Schatz Method emerged in response to her clinical experience as a way to specialize in integrating the whole person through tailored treatment and education that achieve balance and well-being centered on postural excellence. After receiving a Massage Therapy degree, Gina obtained a self designed undergraduate degree that included graduate level pathophysiology, biomechanics and extensive anatomy and physiology.
The Schatz Method, a type of structural balancing, is Bodywork therapy modality that focuses on pain management, body mechanics and injury rehabilitation.
Unlike other modalities and techniques, the outcome of The Schatz Method is permanent pain relief by identifying the source of pain and pain patterns, and alleviating them. Treatments are done fully clothed and last no more than 90 minutes. Working with Gina includes postural assessment, movement reeducation and hands on technique to remedy structural imbalances. Hers is a thorough, comprehensive approach to pain free living.
As a practitioner and teacher of manual and movement bodywork she strives to combine her extensive anatomy and bodywork knowledge into a comprehensive and therapeutic experience that is accessible to all. In 2006 she began teaching the anatomy and physiology portion of Yoga Alliance’s 200 hour certified teacher training programs for schools across the US, and wrote her Inspired Beyond Anatomy book based on the curriculum she developed.
