Arnold Askew, LMT, GCFP teaches continuing education designed to help massage therapists and bodywork practitioners better understand chronic pain and apply somatic principles that support real change in clients. He was a speaker at the 2024 American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) National Convention and leads live, hands-on courses, seminars, and practical trainings for clinicians who want to expand their skill set and differentiate their practices.

With more than 30 years of experience in bodywork and movement education, Arnold has worked across clinical and training environments. From 1992 to 2009, he was on staff at the Doleys Pain Clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, teaching movement classes and working with patients individually. During that time, he co founded the Red Mountain Institute for the Healing Arts, where he served as a senior instructor teaching neuromuscular therapy, anatomy, and pathology.

Arnold has extensive training in both manual and movement-based therapies and is Guild Certified in the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education. He continues to provide somatic therapy in his Northport, Alabama practice, and offers online movement courses for people who want to improve posture, mobility, and reduce persistent pain patterns. Over the past decade, his work has placed special focus on degenerative conditions and the pain commonly associated with aging. Outside of work, Arnold enjoys gardening with his wife Mary and their dog Lula.
