Deep Muscle Work w/ Joint Mobilization
This modality releases restrictions in the fascia, muscles, and connective tissue like ligaments or tendons that might be caused by scar tissue or adhesions from injury, surgery, or overuse. In the soft tissue mobilization process many joint imbalances can release, but specific techniques to decompress joints and help them to reorganize and align with surrounding tissue fields are also included. Methods to open fixations or forces trapped within bone are also employed, which in turn helps to soften connective tissue.
Cranial Sacral Therapy
Cranial methods include the entire body. One more structure-based method helps the musculo-skeletal system to move more freely in the optimal rhythm and trajectory. Restrictions at one end of the system can easily cause limited motion at the other end, so the work addresses the body from head to toe literally. The Biodynamic Cranial Sacral method focuses more on the fluid systems ability to move freely throughout your body, carrying energy, nutrients, and hydration while excreting toxins and waste. The interstitial, lymph, blood, and cerebral spinal fluids are interconnected, so the ease of flow of one system benefits them all. In addition, their ability to move unhindered throughout your system eases tension in other systems, down-regulates the nervous system and facilitates deep relaxation.
Visceral Manipulation
Some physicians - mainly osteopaths - have observed that restrictions in the motion of internal organs or intestines are responsible for a large percentage of the musculo-skeletal discomfort we feel from day-to-day. Ligaments attach our organs to the abdominal wall as well as to one another, and impediments in one organ can have a functional effect on a neighboring organ or distant joint due to a common nerve supply. Since many neurotransmitters and immune system responders are in the belly, freedom of function and relaxation there can also have a tremendously relaxing influence.
Hanna Somatic Education
This Feldenkrais-based body of work is gentle and effective in its ability to provide both release, balance, and integration of the changes into the whole system. The focus is on awakening the cells responsible for communicating the tissue and joint status to the brain, providing change from internal mechanisms.
Mechanical Link
This method focuses on releasing forces in the skeleton that create tension in the musculature and connective tissue. It's also very gentle and has a powerful ability to integrate the entire system in a way that makes it feel light and connected in an easy flow with itself.
Awareness Through Movement Exercises
Adding Mindfulness to Movement is the active ingredient in creating lasting change. The movements add a fundamental preventative aspect to the work that enables the client to reset on a regular basis at home and release the day's cumulative tension or strain. They are designed to keep you in touch with your system, to learn its tendencies and know how to unwind them by choosing just the right movements your body needs. They operate on several planes so that each dimension we move on is also reorganized. Some movements will include flexion and extension, others side-bending, while others incorporate rotation to insure comprehensive integration.
Bodywork + Mindfulness with Movement
Combining hands-on sessions with movement is optimal. This way the significant areas receive a personal touch and specific exercises are given to strengthen the 'sleepy' areas and settle down the overworked areas of your body.
