Therapeutic Massage / Bodywork
Our posture, daily activities, habits, hobbies, repetitive movements, injuries, compensation due to pain/structural issues, traumas, unprocessed emotions, and stresses all affect our physical body and can result in imbalances that contribute to discomfort and less optimal functioning.
The style of bodywork one can expect here is informed by training in anatomy, kinesiology, and acupuncture meridian pathways and is a fusion of myofascial release, trigger point work, tui na, structural integration, and muscle energy techniques. Cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, traction/spinal decompression, and magnets are also often a part of bodywork sessions.
We will discuss your goals and discover the underlying reasons for your discomfort and muscular imbalances. Postural analysis, range of motion, and muscle testing guide the techniques and corrective suggestions implemented in sessions.
Using these tools, we work together to create space, unwind constrictions, re-align myofascial tissues, and restore balance/flow/ease of movement throughout the body. .
The main goals of bodywork are to ease pain/stress/tension so that you can feel more at home and comfortable in your body. When we flow better, we feel better and can do the activities we love to do.
