The "2021 Shut Down" didn't stop music teacher, Florence

DAM is different from anything you've experienced. During a session, you're an active participant of the therapy too. Transformational relief of muscle tightness, and stress and improved performance is the result.

What is The Diamond Method®?

The Diamond Method's 3-Legged Stool Concepts

Created by Irene Diamond, R.T., Active Modulation Therapy is appropriate for myofascial pain, migraines, and improved performance and mobility.

AMT and Diamond Active Massage (DAM) are completely different approaches from anything you’ve experienced before.

AMT is the clinical rehabilitation approach -- a perfectly synchronized hybrid of manual therapy, movement and exercise therapy, guided conversation & awareness. (somewhat similar to massage and typical PT, although you are actively moving during the session.

We combine our 7-Step DIAMOND System to create your own profound personal awareness of how you're feeling, how you're moving, how you're interpreting what is happening to your body (and mind) along with re-patterning your expectations and experiences from your prior experience of pain, injury or other therapeutic interventions in the past.

The Diamond Method is non-surgical, non-invasive, fast-acting, and not illegal or immoral!

We believe AMT and DAM are the most effective therapies of choice when someone has simple, basic muscle pain all the way up to severe soft-tissue pain & dysfunction!

Irene Diamond, RT, is an exercise and movement specialist who developed AMT as a result of a spinal cord accident she had at age 15. She was paralyzed from the neck down initially, but eventually went on to regain almost full movement.

Irene has a BA degree in Recreation, Rehabilitation & Movement Therapy. AMT-The Diamond Method is now a sought-after modality, with many expert teachers and educators in the wellness and therapy profession incorporating AMT into their own teachings and practices.

Diamond continues to see a handful of clients in San Francisco, California, USA while teaching Active Modulation Therapy ~The Diamond Method to therapists in seminars and workshops around the world.

If you're finally tired of living like this, we invite you 
to find an AMT therapist near you, now!

(NOTE: We are currently in the process of changing the original name of Active Myofascial Therapy® and re-wording this website. We now understand much more about pain-science and rehabilitation than we did 30+ years ago, when I named this method. The new name is Active Modulation Therapy™️ to reflect the changes (modulation) we can affect in client's pain, performance and mobility.

After only 5 sessions of the Active Myofascial Therapy with you and Mike, I felt (feel) 100% better. All my pain is gone! As you suggested I am walking on a regular basis now and doing the Actions you taught me, which really help. Your therapy certainly beats everything else I’ve tried, and the education on back care will help me for the life of my back! I give you high kudos, and sing your praises to everyone I know who has back pain.

Marty Kornfeld, Ross, CA
