Chronic Pain is a movement problem
If you are in pain or if you want to stay out pain It may come as a surprise that you were born into a body that has over 620 muscles and 350 joints that need to get used in a good way every day, without being overused, misused or abused. Like it or not,moving a body is a lot of responsibility. in order to be happy. and in order to maintain a good that did not come with a users manual explaining how to move the body without hurting it. what each of the muscle how to use all If we did have user's manual, Imagine and sadly As parts of you slow down your fascia begins to thicken and starts squeezing the nerves that to slide and glide through all that thickness. At some point the nerves get squeezed too much and they start sending pain signals trying to tell you to do something. The thing to do is to get things moving again.
Over the course of nearly 10 years and more than 5000 sessions, my job has become quite simple, really. Make friends with the nervous system and ask it to help me get the bones back into alignment. Almost always, the nervous system is happy to help me melt fascial restrictions and recover movements in the neck, shoulders and hips that have been lost or forgotten about.
As things get moving again, pain goes away.
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 softening 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 pit, greatly helps to mobilize the shoulders and bring relief to neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches thoracic outlet syndrome and even carpal tunnel.
Pelvis
For whatever reason, if the 3 bones that make up the pelvis don't move independently while people are walking, SI Joint pain, hip pain, or lowback pain will likely show up at some point.
I help people free up their pelvic bones, mobilize their Sacro Illiac joints and teach them how to move their hips while they are walking.
Truth is, every step you take is either a step away from pain, or a step toward pain.
How you walk matters.
What to expect at your session
Sessions with me are professiona, effective, lasting, very educational and at times entertaining. Typically, our time together will be a blend of assessments, movement education and hands on bodywork. You will be participating by doing super small movements while I do some magic stuff with my hands or elbows and together we will lengthen your fascia and soften restrictions. It's cool.
I love my job. I am like a detective who will figure out what is pulling your bones out of alignment, causing pain and limiting your range of motion. Then, I figure out how to bring you back into alignment and straighten you out.
Rolf 10 Series
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.
