Who We Are


Welcome!  My name is Randall Gibson, M.Ed., LMT, RPP, CST.
I am the owner and director of Valley Massotherapy and Polarity Healthcare.
 

Valley Massotherapy is my massage therapy practice in Akron, Ohio.
Polarity Healthcare presents educational seminars around the country.

I have been licensed to practice massage in Ohio for over 25 years and have taught massage therapy professionally for over 16 years as a faculty member of the National Institute of Massotherapy. 

I am also a former chairperson of the American Polarity Therapy Association's education committee.

Throughout my career, I have pursued any training which might bring a deeper understanding of health and healing.  I hold a Master’s degree in counseling from Kent State University and have completed an eighteen month training program at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland although most of my education has focused on physical process and energetic bodywork.

I am certified in Shiatsu by the Shizendokai in Japan, certified in Craniosacral Therapy by the Upledger Institute and hold an RPP (Registered Polarity Practitioner) and RPE (Registered Polarity Educator) from the American Polarity Therapy Association.  I am also a registered “Touch For Health Kinesiology” instructor. 

In addition to the above, I am certified in Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (St. John method), and have studied Myofascial Release and Postural Integration for a solid background in structural bodywork and clinical massage therapy.

Associated Therapist
 

My former associate has moved on to other endeavors.  I have a large treatment room available for someone ready to start or re-locate their own business.  I would be supporting and working with you to build your client base.
 

Associated therapists rent space at Valley Massotherapy and run their own independent businesses.

Polarity Healthcare


The purpose of Polarity Healthcare is to provide introductory classes and professional, continuing education in various energetic approaches to health and healing.  The primary courses include Polarity Therapy, Touch for Health Kinesiology and Craniosacral Therapy, but I may offer other classes which benefit the community or help to raise society’s awareness of the wholistic and energetic nature of real healthcare.  

Polarity Healthcare is supported by a board of advisors composed of health professionals who care about wholistic health education.  I am deeply appreciative of their advice and collective wisdom.

Advisors include: C.P.Negri, OMD, CCH, NMD / Ansel Woldt, ED.D. / Judy Bourget, M.D.
