Chronic Pain is Unnatural
From my experience, as parts of people slow down, for whatever reason, tissue thickens and the nerves that need to slide and glide through that tissue start to get squeezed a bit until the tissue hardens. Over time movement continues to slow until it stops all together and then hurts because the nerves are essentially squished by thick, hardened, and tight tissues. The problem is this dysfunction happens so slowly it goes unnoticed until one day, you wake up in pain or you suddenly realize your range of motion sucks. If you are getting older, you might be tempted to accept and normalize aches and pains as a result of your body getting older. Well. that ain't it.

From my perspective, chronic pain is a blend of movement problems and thickened fascia problems and the solution is quite simply to mobilize parts that have slowed or stopped moving by releasing fascial restrictions and increasing range of motion. While it is possible for people to do that on their own, it often takes some education and training to be effective. That's where I come in. I can do the hands on work to release restrictions, get you moving better and teach you how to stretch and exercise yourself to continuing mobilizing your stuck parts at home.
If you have noticed parts of you that don't move like they used to or if you have been in pain for a while, come in and see me. I am still running a couple promotional sessions. A free 30 assessment session that will include some movement tips and a taste of the way I work in the fascial system or half off an hour appointment, which will be $50.

If you are in pain or have limited range of motion, you want something that works fast and lasts.
Unlike typical Massage Therapy, which focuses on muscles, Myofacial Release focuses on Fascia and is an effective, corrective and lasting way to treat the root of many chronic pain conditions.
Myofascial Release reduces pain by: lengthening short fascia and soften thick or hardened tissue to relieve pressure on bones, joints and nerves and get stuck parts moving.
Neck and Shoulders
As odd as it may seem, lengthening fascia in and around the arm pitt, greatly helps to bring relief to chronic neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain and even carpal tunnel.
Pelvis
Mobilizing the pelvis makes a happy spine and reduces:
Low Back Pain
Sacroiliac joint pain
Pelvic floor pain and dysfunction.
Leg Length Discrepancy
Limited Range of Motion
Myofascia Release changes the structure of the body, frees things up and makes life better.
What to expect at your session
Sessions with me are professional, fun, educational, effective and lasting. Typically, sessions are a blend of assessments, movement education, hands on bodywork and at times, some stand up comedy. I love my job. I am like a detective who will figure out what is pulling your structure out of alignment and limiting your range of motion. Then, I figure out how to bring you back into alignment.
My Ideal Client
I enjoy working with everyone. I work with clients in different ways and ultimately do what you say you need. I m here to support you in whatever way you want to supported.
If you come in with pain I will likely do more bodywork and less movement education.
Many people who come to see me want to make some change and improvements in how they walk, stand, sit, and even breath. If learning about your rotations and how to fix yourself is important, we will spend some time learning how to move move like we are designed to move.
The bottom line is I don't really have an ideal client. If you have a soft tissue issue, I will enjoy getting you sorted out.
Traditional Rolf Method
Ida Rolf created an entire manual therapy system utilizing myofascial release techniques to change fascia and improve a persons structural alignment and eliminate or greatly reduce all kinds of chronic pain. She called it Structural Integration, but it became widely known as Rolfing©. Going through a 10 series can be life changing.
