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 and pain begins Over time, as movement continues to slow muscles and fascia harden up and the pain get worse until it hurts too much to move all together and then chronic pain settles in. 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.
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 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.
My Ideal Client
Well, anyone, really. I enjoy working with everyone and my top priority is to attend to whatever is most important to you.
Many people who come to see me want to make some changes in their life. I like it when clients are wanting to learn how their body works and how to move so they quit hurting themselves. If you know how, you can rehab yourself with routine everyday movements you already do. You just need to know how to do it. I can teach you all you need to know about moving through your life in a good way.
Ultimately I wish for all of my clients to experience the profound changes that are possible by going through some or all of the Rolf 10 Series. The 10 series is like a complete structural (bones and fascia) overhall where fascial restrictions resolve and allow slow, sticky or stuck parts of you to move better.
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.
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.
