Everything we do at Custom Craftworks is guided by the simple philosophy on which our company was founded: "Treat every person with honesty, integrity and caring; provide the highest quality products; and return the good the world has given us".

Founded in 1986, Custom Craftworks’ mission is to support the vital work of professional practitioners and educators in the massage, therapy, and holistic health fields by building the best quality massage tables available.
"Returning the good the world has given." One of the ways we acknowledge our success is to give some of what we earn back to others, particularly to organizations devoted to helping disadvantaged children.
We take a long-term view when setting our business goals. We spent the first eight years in business reinvesting profits, planning, and laying the foundation for long-term growth. Indeed, we could have grown faster, but in order to do so we would have had to sacrifice our long-term goals for short-term profits.

Ron Tinsley, Owner of Custom Craftworks, understands what it means to be an employee, and knows that people need to find fulfillment in their jobs and be appreciated for what they do. Custom Craftworks makes a dedicated effort to treat its employees with respect and dignity – as each of us would like to be treated. We have many devoted employees, and we recognize their contribution to the success of our company. Our employees are crucial to ensuring that our quality standards are upheld. While the owner sets these standards, he maintains confidence that Custom Craftworks employees will meet or exceed them when provided the opportunity to utilize their knowledge and expertise without interference. We seek individuals with honest values, ethics, and a personal commitment to excellent quality work. Custom Craftworks employees come from many different walks of life, but all share a common vision: to produce the highest quality massage equipment on the market today.

The Nature of Fascia- A review of recent scientific discoveries.

This is a brand new DVD by Robert Schleip PhD containing the latest news from connective tissue research for bodyworkers and movement therapists.

A Rolfing Instructor and Feldenkrais Teacher since 1988, Robert became fascinated by the scientific exploration of fascial manipulation. Rather than being a mere passive packing organ, it have become increasingly clear that the fascia plays an important role in active myofascial force generation, in tissue stiffness regulation, in pain generation and in proprioception. Robert is an international expert on fascial research as well as a highly experienced bodyworker.

This 40 minute video presentation describes fascia as our richest sensory organ. It covers the 4 types of sensory receptors in fascia, fascial tonicity, elastic recoil and dynamic changes in matrix hydration induced by fascial manipulation by various forms of bodywork treatment.
