Biographical / historical:

The Cayce / Reilly School of Massage opened in 1987 as the Harold J. Reilly School of Massotherapy. The school's curriculum combines the concepts of holism, healing, and personal transformation contained in the Edgar Cayce material and the massage style drawn from these concepts by Dr. Harold J. Reilly. Dr. Reilly was a physiotherapist and a pioneer in the field of massage therapy. He began receiving cases at his New York City clinic from Edgar Cayce in 1930, almost two years before they met in person. Reilly created the trademarked Cayce/Reilly Massage, a particular style of Swedish Massage he developed from information suggested in the Cayce readings.
