In addition to providing ergonomic consulting services, Teri Katz maintains a private practice in Berkeley, integrating conventional and complementary healthcare modalities to promote wellness, vitality and new possibilities for living.
Elements of Teri’s work with clients include:
PHYSICAL THERAPY
Teri practices manual physical therapy techniques, including joint and soft tissue mobilization, and therapeutic exercise. She has worked with a wide variety of clients with orthopedic, neuromuscular, somatic and occupational injuries, such as repetitive strain, thoracic outlet syndrome, carpal tunnel, neck and back pain and headaches. She uses education, functional ergonomics training, body mechanics, and creative home exercise programs to help clients achieve favorable outcomes, recover function and movement.
ROSEN METHOD
Teri studied Rosen Method with founder Marion Rosen and has taught Rosen Method in Australia, Europe, Canada and the United States. Rosen Method has achieved international recognition for its demonstrated ability to alleviate muscular tension and pain, allow pleasure in movement, in addition to improving posture, flexibility and the quality of life. Using the miraculous power of human touch, movement, openhearted listening and deep relaxation to bring about heightened awareness of the body/mind, Rosen Method helps clients experience a deeper awareness of what it means to be alive.

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
The pleasure and therapeutic value of touch and massage is widely known to people from all walks of life. Therapeutic massage is known to improve circulation, heighten self-awareness, improve sleep and concentration, and contribute to an overall sense of well-being. Massage has been shown to mobilize soft tissues, decrease muscle tension and pain. It calms and stimulates the nervous system, decreasing stress in all systems in the body, resulting in increased energy, relaxation, and an improved outlook on life.
"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action. And because there is only one you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium…the world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open."
— Martha Graham
