After experiencing a chronic back injury in 2003 James found that conventional healthcare had nothing to offer, while complementary treatments had astonishingly positive results. With his curiosity awakened he consequently trained in Indian Head Massage, Swedish Massage, Reflexology, Reiki, Lomi Lomi, and ultimately Integrated Myofascial Release with John Barnes. He has found Myofascial Release to be particularly effective and has focussed his work on this since 2009.

In 2009 James qualified as a Temple Style Lomi Lomi Practitioner on Kauai, continuing his training in 2011 and up to the present date.

In November 2010 he graduated as a fully certificated Myofascial Release Therapist. He regularly goes to America to continue training with John Barnes and his areas of expertise include :
