Hi, My name is Judy Silcock and I have been a practicing massage therapist and bodyworker for thirty five years.  I started my journey learning Esalen Massage in Big Sur, California in 1969, then continued in 1979-1981 actually practicing bodywork and studying  with a variety of practitioners through apprenticeship programs.   In 1982, I went to Magic Valley Massotherapy Institute  in Buhl, Idaho where I learned many other massage and bodywork techniques.  Upon graduation, I started working full time and have continued to do so since.  I firmly believe that in order to stay on top of your profession and offer the best services to your clients, you must invest in yourself.  I continue to do that by taking annual continuing education. I was blessed in 1990 to have been able to study Sports Massage in Russia at the Physical Culture and Science Institutes in Moscow and St. Petersberg where they work with their olympic athletes. I also have been very fortunate to study with many of the highly recognized and professional continuing education providers in our industry.
I  enjoy giving back to my profession and continue to do so by volunteering.  I have held offices on a state level with the Idaho Massotherapy Association and The  American Massage Therapy Association; and since 1995 have held a number of positions with The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.

Volunteering enables me to network with other skilled professionals within our profession, give back to an industry that has been so good to me, and has helped me to grow as an individual by developing many capacities and skills I hadn't had before.

My practice specializes in more clinical type modalities.  Targeting people with postural distortions, pain dysfunctions from a variety of causes, repetitive syndromes, back, head and neck and pre-post surgical conditons.  I also offer energy type modalities and somato-emotional support. 
I thoroughly enjoy my work and look forward to many more years of service.

2010 was a busy year for me. I was recently elected to the Board of Directors for the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.  It will be a 4 year term which starts this winter 2011. The NCBTMB is a national credentialing organization that promotes the highest standard of excellence in the field of massage through certification and continuing education.  I am very excited for this opportunity and look forward to serving my constituents and working along with the major stakeholders within the massage profession!
