Everyone who deals with the treatment of pain must acknowledge the importance of structural imbalances in the production of neuromusculoskeletal pain.  The forces generated by these imbalances can be enormous, and every tissue in the body is affected when it is abnormally compressed or stretched due to these forces.  

"I'm not interested in just making patients better, I'm interested in making them well!" - Rich Phaigh

So what is the Onsen Technique® all about?

Onsen® focuses on methods to assess and correct pain causing structural and functional deviations in order to provide long term relief.  Rich Phaigh has developed this technique and offers a four part professionally produced video training program and workbook that includes 150 assessments plus corrections and exercises.  

One purpose of this website is to get the word out to therapists so they can learn this incredible technique.  We also want to let people that have problems with pain and weakness know about the benefits they can achieve quickly and without pain from Onsen.

Here's what therapist Rich Mitchell had to say about his training.
"Absolute frustration is what I used to feel as I tried to give my patients permanent pain relief.  Thanks to Rich Phaigh, now I have the tools to find and correct the cause of the problem rather than just work on the symptoms."
