Leigh Ankrum

I'm Leigh Ankrum — master teacher of Functional Bodywork and founder of the Ankrum Institute. For nearly forty years I've worked with my hands on the human body, uniting craniosacral therapy, manual and osteoarticular technique, myofascial work, muscle energy, and visceral manipulation into a whole-person way of working that amplifies the health already present in every system.

This channel is where I teach what the body has taught me. You'll learn to discern where dysfunction truly begins, release the tensions and patterns that keep it active, and let the body's own intelligence restore ease, balance, and vitality — so therapist and client become partners in wellness.

It's Functional Bodywork training unlike any other: for practitioners who want to go deeper, and for anyone curious about the body they live in.

Be patient with your body. It knows what it's doing.
