The ShapeMassage Method
The FLOW Revolution: From Mechanical to Magical
Traditional bodywork teaches you to DO things TO the body. FLOW teaches you to work WITH the body's own intelligence.
This isn't about learning new techniques—it's about fundamentally transforming your relationship with tissue. When you master FLOW, every technique you already know becomes exponentially more effective.
The Breakthrough Discovery:
After 25 years of elite-level bodywork, Thor Danbolt discovered that the most profound healing happens not when we impose our agenda on tissue, but when we learn to listen to what tissue is actually asking for.
This revelation led to the development of FLOW—four simple principles that transform any practitioner from
a protocol-follower into a tissue whisperer.
Foundation of the ShapeMassage Method
The Four Elements That Change Everything
​
This isn't another technique to add to your toolkit
it's a complete paradigm shift that makes every technique you already know work better
F - FEEL
(Tissue Dialogue)
Transform your hands into sophisticated diagnostic instruments. Learn to read tissue stories through temperature, density, and responsiveness. Stop guessing what the body needs—let tissue tell you directly.
L - LISTEN
(Therapeutic Presence)
Move beyond mechanical treatment into genuine dialogue. Be completely present with THIS body, in THIS moment. Set aside protocols and preconceptions to receive what tissue is actually communicating today
O - OBSERVE
(Breath Intelligence)
Discover how breath becomes your guide for timing, depth, and nervous system communication. Learn to read client breathing patterns and use your own breath to facilitate profound relaxation and tissue release
W - WORK
(Responsive Flow)
Stop fighting tissue resistance. Learn to move WITH fascial intelligence, following natural pathways and tissue responses. Invitation creates transformation—force creates resistance
The FLOW Result: Clients who plateaued for years suddenly make breakthrough progress. Your physical strain disappears because you're working with tissue, not against it. Every session becomes interesting because you're responding to what you discover, not following what you memorized

Meet Your Mentor: Thor Danbolt
From Burned-Out Therapist to Method Creator
The Crisis That Changed Everything
After years of elite-level bodywork—treating Olympic athletes and top-division football players—I was burning out. My hands hurt constantly. My techniques, while effective, felt mechanical. I was achieving good results, but I knew there was something missing.
The Kitchen Table Breakthrough
One exhausted evening, sitting at my wooden kitchen table, I began experimenting with how my fingers could work WITH texture and grain instead of against it. That quiet moment of discovery became the foundation of everything you'll learn in FLOW.
25+ Years of Refinement What started as personal survival evolved into a complete method:→ Sports masseur for Oslo's elite football teams and Norwegian Olympic athletes→ Audio engineering background that sharpened sensitivity to rhythm and structure→ Thousands of hours developing DTR techniques that honor tissue intelligence→ Training practitioners worldwide who report career-saving transformations
My Mission: Help you discover the profound satisfaction of working WITH the body's intelligence instead of imposing your will upon it. When you master FLOW, bodywork becomes a conversation, not a monologue.

Important Information & Client Guidelines
For Professional Use Only
​The ShapeMassage Method and the DTR techniques are advanced manual therapies. They are designed exclusively for use by experienced and licensed bodywork professionals, including Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths, and Physical Therapists. Proper application requires a foundational knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and manual treatment protocols.
​
A Partnership for Results: Client Commitments
The 10-week ShapeMassage Method is a powerful protocol that works as a partnership between the therapist and the client. Client results are individual and will vary based on factors such as age, activity level, dietary habits, and starting physiology. To achieve the best possible outcome, clients must commit to supporting the manual therapy with a healthy lifestyle. This includes:
​
-
Physical Activity: Engaging in physical activity that induces a sweat, 2-3 times per week. This is essential for stimulating circulation and helping the body process and clear accumulated metabolic waste that is released during the treatments.
-
Healthy Nutrition: Maintaining a normal, balanced, and healthy diet throughout the 10-week period. The therapy is a powerful complement to holistic health strategies.
An Important Note on Diet Products
Based on over two decades of clinical experience, we strongly advise that clients avoid all "diet," "zero-calorie," or artificially sweetened products during the 10-week protocol. In my experience, the chemical additives in these products can interfere with the fascial release process, seemingly inhibiting the body's ability to effectively clear stored waste products from the connective tissue. A whole-food approach is recommended for optimal results.
Your transformation starts the moment you join.
Every day you practice traditional bodywork is another day of untapped potential.
