Are you struggling with:
Working with nonsensical injury and disease-based diagnoses that seem to leave little room for success with manual therapy?
Misguided techniques like "nerve flossing" and "IT band stretching" that lack scientific basis and don't really work?

keeping your own body intact
promoting yourself to keep your business healthy and growing,
spending money wisely on education
while also finding the time to keep growing as a practitioner
We've listened to professionals like you, and we know your challenges - because we've been through it ourselves.
Sciatica is Caused by the Sciatic Nerve
Dr. Janet Travell debunked the assumption that sciatic pain is generally a neurological issue. It isn't. The vast majority of these cases are entirely muscular, and to solve them, our protocols will show you the muscles and functional relationships that matter. Resolve the common perpetuating factors that stress these muscles, so your clients can remain pain-free.
IT Band Pain, Stretching and Rolling
The IT Band has nothing to do with pain felt in the lateral thigh and knee. It's dense connective tissue, cannot be stretched, and rolling or compressing it is useless for real lasting pain relief. We can show you the true muscular causes of this type of pain, so you can eliminate it for good.
Hip Bursitis and Tendonitis
Bursitis and tendonitis are garbage diagnoses that are handed out without verification by practitioners who are ignorant about trigger points. We can teach you the functional and referral patterns that actually cause this pain, so you can stop wasting time and become truly effective.
These Myths Are Holding You Back!
The following misconceptions are pervasive in our medical and popular culture and you MUST overcome them to be successful in treating sciatica, hip and leg pain. We can show you how to provide fast and lasting relief for your clients by understanding the true source.

Resolve Sciatica and Lower Body Pain Quickly by Understanding the Root Cause
Our Flagship Practitioner Course for Lower Body Pain
Available for the First Time Outside of the CTB Membership
Sciatica and leg pain can be crippling, and if you're reading this, chances are you're on the front lines, fighting a battle that seems unwinnable. You've seen it all—clients limping in with their hopes high and leaving with only fleeting relief. It's not just frustrating; it's heartbreaking.
In the trenches of manual therapy, where every day is a battle against chronic pain, your mission is clear but the path is fraught with challenges. You've witnessed the agony of sciatica and hip pain in your patients - serious conditions that reduce vibrant lives to a mere struggle for comfort. If these battles feel personal, it's because they are.
Here's the problem: because few people really understand the role and clinical behavior of trigger points, there is a widespread, false assumption that these conditions are due to the typical scapegoats: a compromised sciatic nerve, spinal impingement, or a "tight IT band" (literally impossible!).
We understand what sets up sciatic pain and how to eliminate it. Our courses, based on 20 years of clinical practice and research, have already given thousands of students more treatment mastery and referrals than they ever dreamed possible - because we know how to trace sciatica to its true source.

My Journey of Discovery
My name is Chuck Duff, and I know these challenges well - because I’ve been through it myself. I trained in the late 90’s as a Thai massage practitioner, and when I started out, I had mixed results. I quickly realized that the injury-focused medical model was a terrible framework for actually understanding how to help my clients.
It was disheartening to have to support my family while feeling that I wasn’t able to consistently help people in the ways that I had in mind when I changed careers.
When I started out, I was fed the same nonsense about nerve impingement, fake "-itis" diagnoses and IT band syndrome as everyone else.
The truth is, our medical system is stuck in the dark ages when it comes to understanding pain. Throw away the notion of "itis" and injury; these are just surface-level distractions. The real culprit? Muscles and the elusive trigger points within them.
After 20 years in the trenches of clinical practice and research, I've cracked the code. Combining the ancient wisdom of Thai massage with the precision of trigger point therapy and the cutting-edge insights of modern neuroscience, I’ve been fortunate to create a weapon so powerful in combating pain, it's proven to be nothing short of revolutionary: Coaching The Body®.

"I am a chiropractor and I have been getting through the modules as fast as I can. I have gotten the best results with shoulders I've ever gotten. I just need to continue learning and getting that protocol down."

Charlie Peebles, LMT, MAT, Instructor
The level of detail that Chuck brings into each topic really helps you understand that muscle and the effects or role that it will play when dysfunction becomes an issue. He aids your understanding of compensation patterns you could see with each one of these muscles that he goes into. That is Chuck's years of experience adding to the course in every module of this program.
I use my training with every client I see. My practice is more centered in function movement in relation to posture, pain, and performance. And everything that I have studied in these courses have allow me to be much different therapist than a majority of the massage therapists in my area. When you can help people move better and feel better your practice changes and people spread the word for you.

Sarah Cook, LMT and Health Coach
I applied these techniques today on a client with an 'arthritic hip'. Turns out he had the trigger point of all trigger points in his adductor magnus. He was in disbelief by his range of motion in his hip when we were finished. I’m only 8 weeks in to CTBI membership and it’s absolutely the best thing I’ve ever done for my business/life. I totally changed 3 peoples lives today with the muscle liberator and my understanding of functional anatomy and TP referral. Infinite gratitude for your work.”

Sciatic Pain Overview and Downloads
Learn the actual origins of most sciatic pain - the muscles, their functional relationships and how they can set up pain that mimics the symptoms of compromised nerves and spinal degeneration, leading to almost universal misdiagnosis. Download our Core Protocol and Muscle Manuals for Lower Body Pain - fantastic lifetime references for your treatment library.
Gluteals and Adductors Anatomy and Treatment
Functional anatomy, trigger point characteristics and treatment of the gluteal muscles, whose referral patterns masquerade as dermatomal patterns and other symptoms of neurological compromise. The gluteals are very vulnerable to aberrations in gait from such common conditions as hyperpronation and lateral asymmetry.
QL, Deep and Superficial Spinal Erectors Anatomy and Treatment
Learn to assess and treat key muscles of the back and spine and discover how they can set up muscle dysfunction lower in the body. Discover the tight relationship between the QL and the gluteals, and understand the importance of satellite referral in this area.
Sciatic Pain - Perpetuation, Assessments and Correction
Nearly all sciatica originates with some degree of postural and gait disturbance, causing imbalance and overwork in potent perpetuators of sciatic pain. Implement assessments and corrections that will allow your clients to not only get immediate relief, but freedom from a life of chronic, disabling sciatic pain.
