" For over 26 years, I have been teaching thousands of students to become 'massage artists'." Dror Steiner
I'm a massage therapist and osteopath based in London. I founded Bodyology Massage School in 2008, where I've taught thousands of students. Read more about Dror
My focus is on top-quality education. No shortcuts — I share all my knowledge, skills, tips, and the secrets of giving a great massage.
Preparation matters. That means the room, the equipment, and you. The person giving the massage is central to the work, so I pay attention to their well-being as well.
I look carefully at how students use their bodies. When you lean and use your weight rather than muscle force, your touch becomes calmer, and the quality improves.
I teach a wide range of techniques for any given situation, carefully chosen because they feel great to receive and are achievable to perform.
As an osteopath, anatomy and physiology matter to me — but only the anatomy that actually helps you give a better massage.
At Bodyology, we share a lot on YouTube — 23 million views and 117,000 subscribers. This course goes well beyond what's on the channel.
My explanations are clear and simple, so you can follow along easily.
Looking forward to seeing you with oily hands, relaxing others (and yourself). If you're ever in London, we also offer in-person massage courses.
