ABOUT The Company
What's in a name?
Talus Inc. is named after the talus bone in your foot that supports your arches, legs and body. A properly functioning talus allows you to have mobility and stability as you move around in this world. It's a good foundation for proper biomechanics.
What is Talus Inc. about?
The goal of Talus is to provide quality products and services that massage therapists can trust, whether these products are textbooks, teacher's manuals, workshops, DVDs or videos. Educators and practitioners require a solid foundation for a modern practice. We hope that Talus and its products can provide a part of this foundation, to inform and inspire massage therapists everywhere.
We, Fiona Rattray and Linda Ludwig, created the company in 2000. Before this, we ran Massage Therapy Texts, a smaller publishing company, for six years. We bring to Talus over 20 years experience as educators, and 30 combined years of clinical practice, as well as a continuing joy and enthusiasm in learning and sharing.
Manual medicine and massage therapy are in a state of growth and change. Some information, ideas and approaches to treatment are in conflict - either real or apparent. New information about the body, treatment protocols, alternative and medical approaches and medications are constantly being reported. A variety of massage therapy approaches are possible for a given condition; in our work, we describe treatment plans as samples to use. These have proven effective based on research results, academic principles and clinical practice.
We are aware of the amazing impact that massage therapy has for so many people - on the health of body, mind and spirit - with a potential to touch many more. We have profound respect and love for this profession and hope to facilitate this potential by incorporating high standards for massage therapists in all our endeavours.

About the logo
The Talus logo is a reflection of Celtic imagery (Rattray is a name of Scottish origin) and massage symbolism. The traditional Celtic knot work is arranged in an interlocking triad pattern. The palm-open hands replace the usual hand-grasping-wrist design that appears in Celtic art. At a glance, some mistake the design for a flower, which is fine with us. Plants are a big part of the healing world!
