"I found rolfing to be a different modality than regular massage. Rather than helping to just alleviate sore muscles, I found it to be rather helpful in repositioning postural problems and in helping to return some normal mechanics. I found this particularly helpful for a number of different ailments, including scapular thoracic abnormalities and posture related problems such as thoracic outlet syndrome, lavatory scapula syndrome, chronic upper trapezius pain, again to underlying abnormal mechanics". 
"I have also found rolfing to be particularly helpful for some chronic problems such as lateral epicondylitis, plantar fasciitis, chronic hamstring and hip flexor pain, Judah seems to do an excellent job in returning balance back to these muscle groups." 
"In summary, I have found Judah's treatments to be an excellent adjunct to some of our other treatments in Sports Medicine, including physical therapy. I would recommend him highly if your patients are experiencing some of these abnormalities."

David J. Petron, M.D.


"His clients are many, as a good number of physicians, and other health practitioners have discovered that Therapist Lyons is very successful in rectifying serious problems stemming from trauma to the back, neck, and other bone and muscle structures of the body... I have never seen a group of female students as comfortable with a male therapist, in the physical manipulation of the body, as my students have been."

"As both a physician and trained massage therapist and acupuncturist I find the quality of Judah's bodywork therapy is outstanding. I have personally received his work and found it tremendously helpful in relieving my back and shoulder pain".

"Judah saved my dental career! I was scheduled for bi-lateral carpal tunnel surgery in less than a week. I was going to miss a minimum of seven weeks of work after the surgeries. It has been over two years since the last of eleven sessions and I continue to be able to handle the load of a very busy practice surgery free. Thanks Judah

"Excellence is one word that comes to mind when I think about my continuing education experience with Judah Lyons. His teaching techniques can help bring your existing skills to another level through vivid demonstrations and clear instructions. I have often attended classes where it seemed the instructor was holding out on the students because the were afraid of their students somehow surpassing them. Judah is exactly the opposite. He desires for you to learn everything you want to learn. He doesn't hold you back, he actually facilitates your growth.  I highly recommend the Lyons Institute for your continuing education needs."

Lorie A Warren, LMT, RCR, Director of Education, Tennessee School of Therapeutic Massage

"Judah is a gifted therapist who brings a variety of therapeutic disciplines to his practice to relieve his clients' pain. I was first treated by Judah three years ago for persistent lower back pain that 2 chiropractors and an orthopedist could not help. It was so painful that some mornings I could barely get out of bed. After just 5 or 6 treatment sessions with Judah, my pain was gone, and has not returned in three years. More recently Judah has relieved a wrist tendonitis (orthopedist wanted to operate), and I am now seeing him for cranio-sacral work to generally improve the quality of my life. Thank you, Judah!"

"Judah Lyons has literally changed my quality of life.  For years I had suffered with severe chronic muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders.  I had tried years of chiropractic care and massage therapy, which provided only temporary relief, until my massage therapist recommended that I try rolfing with Judah Lyons.  I had heard that rolfing can be painful so I was a bit hesitant, but I have found that it doesn’t hurt at all when the right person is doing it.  In fact, it is actually quite pleasant in that its deep massage techniques reach all the way down into the source of the spasms, providing great relief even during the first appointment.  After just a few sessions with Judah, my tight muscles began to maintain the improvement, and now my neck and shoulders are virtually pain-free.  I still see Judah periodically for a “tune-up,” but I am finally free of the constant painful spasms that plagued me daily for so many years.

 "Judah is like a human Ferrari Mechanic! He has rebalanced my body after two nasty falls in Chile and France. He has been an instrumental factor in keeping my body tuned for nearly three years. I highly recommend his work to any athlete who wants to be seriously competitive." 
 

Justin Johnson, Olympic Downhill and Super G.S. Team, Park City, Utah

"I awoke every morning completely numb in both arms from my hands to my elbows. I was contemplating surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. In six sessions of Judah's work I was symptom free. He then tackled a two year old problem that wouldn't allow me to lift heavy objects over waist height. He worked on my neck for two sessions and the conditioned hasn't bothered me since. I absolutely love his work and both myself and my wife depend on him to keep us pain free." 
 

Grant Baird, Free Lance Movie Director, Heber City, Utah


"On Christmas day 1995 I was involved in a serious auto accident. Due to the seriousness of the accident I was unable to work and was terminated. I remained unable to work for the next 11 months. After countless visits to the doctors, chiropractors, neurologists and therapists I was refereed to Judah Lyons. I was unable to lift my arms higher than the chest level. After several treatments under Judah's care I began to experience improvement. After the ten session series I was totally restored to my previous state of health." 
 

Tracy Rush, Saleswoman, Midvale, Utah


"Many years in the health care field afforded me opportunities to work and communicate with physicians and other medical personnel. However, Judah Lyons has made a significant impact on me through his leadership and instruction in Virginia. His knowledge is evident, stemming from a background that combines intense learning and real life experiences. He is skilled at conveying the most complex ideas in a manner that all levels of learners can understand--from seasoned professional to novice. Most importantly, however--and most noticeable--is his passion for the field and his intense desire to effect others in a positive way. He is patient in his manner and builds confidence; his energy is contagious and inspiring!"

Teresa Hassell, MA - Virginia Beach

"The Lyons Institute has given me an increased sensitivity to bodywork. Judah Lyons emphasizes using a yin/yang principle, combining structural integration and CranioSacral therapy, to open the body from the core out. This approach resonates with me on several levels. As a therapist, I like structural integration work because of the profound changes I see in my clients in terms of range of motion, pain resolution and newfound body awareness. As a student, I found the Lyons Institute to be a comfortable, non-judgmental, learning environment. Judah encouraged us to use our intuition and sensitivity within the realm of Structural Integration. Through this approach, I experienced exciting results with my work. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning advanced body-work."
