The 9-point Method in Plano, TX - June 2026

Muscles surround every other system in our bodies. Blood vessels, nerves, lymph tissue, ligaments, organs, bones, all are surrounded by muscles. When those muscles are chronically tense, it places strain on those structures and systems. There are nine points across the human body that anchor in tension for everybody. When the tension in these nine points is released, it allows the body to open up and reset itself, improving the way it breathes, flows, and communicates. Come learn the fastest, most effective way to reset the entire body in 10-15 minutes while the recipient remains clothed.

Why does the 9-Point Method matter?

The 9-Point Method is the fastest and most effective way to release the tension in the entire body AND this can be done while the client remains clothed. The results that we have seen have been remarkable.Three major benefits we are noticing as we use this method are:
Support of the Nervous System

When we let go of the tension in the muscles in the specific order that we do, something happens to the nervous system. I remember the old Berenstain Bears book about Sister Bear trying to break the habit of biting her nails. Mama Bear explained habits by showing Sister how the wheelbarrow carved a deep rut in the garden path through many trips and when they wanted to get the wheelbarrow out of the rut, they had to make a concerted effort.Our nervous systems create habitual paths in order to conserve energy. Those paths that are carved out of countless hours in poor posture, or in body positioning intended to alleviate pain, or in compensation patterns from old injuries, become written in our muscle and fascial tissues, too. When we release the muscles from the tension they have been holding in support of those dysfunctional movement patterns, it’s like our wheelbarrows have been rocked out of the rut and we are able to choose a different path for a while.
Relief of Myofascial Pain

One of my favorite things about my massage room being right next to Charlie’s is the way people’s voices change throughout their session. I cannot hear words through the wall, but I can hear the tone in their voices. Many come in sounding exhausted and defeated because of the pain that they are in. I love that moment when I start to hear the dawning hope in their tone–that moment when they realize their bodies are actually shifting, their pain actually receding. It never fails to awe and inspire me.Tension in the muscle creates painful distortions in the body’s ability to regulate itself. When we release that tension, relief comes.

Facilitation of Functional Movement

I came to Charlie as an athlete and a strength and conditioning coach. I was frustrated with my inability to recover effectively as I got older, but I still wanted to remain active in my fitness. I LOVE moving my body. The thought of having to give that up was heartbreaking. When I realized just how effective Charlie’s method was for the longevity of functional, healthy, JOYFUL movement, I changed the entire trajectory of my life in order to facilitate this gift for others. I still workout intensively 5 days a week and participate in sport jiu jitsu at age 44 AND I feel great. My body moves well, my recoveries are effective, and I am able to do the things that I love. Many of the contacts that I made as a coach are now my clients because they have received so much benefit to their athleticism through the 9-Point Method.The best thing is that functional movement is for EVERYONE, athlete or not. That means that the 9-Point Method helps grandparents play with their grandkids. It helps mechanics maneuver around crowded engines holding heavy tools. It helps nurses shift their patients in bed. It helps intensive care respiratory therapists hold their patients’ heads steady while administering treatment. It helps drywall hangers nail supports in place. It helps moms lower their babies into their cribs.

Charlie always says, “We just want to help everyone,” and that’s exactly what this method does.
