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 your structure back into alignment and teach you how to continue fixing yourself at home.    

During your session I will be seeking out places in your body where your fascia has lost its elasticity and has shortened,  thickened  or hardened and maybe is hurting.   I will also be seeking out places where you don't move as freely as you used to and together, we will lengthen your shortened tissues and free up your stuck parts.  

The bodywork techniques are slow and gentle, yet deeply satisfying without big pain sensations.  It will mostly feel like the kind of deep stretch you long for but can never quite get.  The work goes deep but doesn't hurt.  

One thing that is unlikely to happen during your session is you falling asleep. This will not be like that.  It is likely you will experience  a settling of your body feel a sense of deep relaxation. 

I have found a most effective way to lengthen fascia by communicating with your nervous system and getting it onboard with lengthening and softening your fascial restrictions. When your nervous system is onboard changes come easy and they last. 

Another possibility during your session is all sorts of movement education.  I can be like a live version of "The User's Guide To The Body" and If you are interested and want to learn, I can teach you a lot about functional movement and how your body is actually designed to move so you can preserve your joints and not wear them out prematurely.  Most people are surprised to learn how much they don't know about walking, standing, sitting, sleeping and even breathing.  Truth is, how you move matters.  Every step you take is either a step away from pain or a step towards pain.  

I can help you walk like we are designed to walk so every step you take is a step in the right direction.   

As for what to wear, traditional table clothes are: underwear for men, bra and underwear for women.  A tube top or stretchy bra works the best.  If working in your underwear gives you the willies,  bring some shorts that can be moved around a bit.
