Myoskeletal Balancing

This foundational understanding informs session work through a holistic, hands-on approach. The structure of your body, its bones, muscles, joints, fascia and organs, all influence function and when something in that elegant complexity becomes impeded it can have repercussions on other systems while diminishing the sense of vitality, clarity, or well-being that is our ideal state. This work is focused on enlivening sensation, circulation and functional mechanics through a specific system of manual engagement that allows for a person’s optimal state to return. The spinal, pelvic, and cranial systems as well as the shoulders, musculoskeletal, visceral, and fluid mechanics systems are often all addressed to achieve whole body wellness. All of these pieces are linked and benefit from being “reconnected” in sensory communication. This is why the protocols associated with these approaches are unique, because the work addresses the body as the whole that it is through comprehensive engagement of the various systems influencing embodied experience. Treatments incorporate a variety of hands-on techniques that aid in the restoration of movement, function, and circulation while acting to improve overall biomechanics. The objective is to facilitate intra-systems communication while working on any remediable mechanical contributors to dysfunction in order to restore balance so that the body can be free to heal itself, as it is designed to do. The foundational concept is that if the body can better communicate between its parts, the result will be an overall improved experience allowing for better function. Post session, many people report feeling more open, less burdened, with increased freedom of movement, improved bodily functions, significantly reduced tension/pain, more regulated biorhythms, and an improved quality of perspective and capacity. Clients often find themselves feeling better in more areas than the one they first sought help for. Sessions are initiated much the same way as a traditional massage and relaxation can be a subjective experience of myoskeletal balancing, but it is not the goal. This work seeks improvement of overall function and goes beyond soothing muscles. Myoskeletal balancing acts to more fully restore balance in the whole body which allows for improvements in movement patterns that can decrease strain and prevent future repeat issues. By prioritizing interconnected influences, the focus point of the client is often resolved or significantly improved while whole body harmony is also restored. This work is customizable and can be modified in order to meet anyone’s particular set of needs, priority of focus, or preferred avoidance of specific areas. One does not need to be in pain to benefit from this work, the value of informed touch is always supportive to the human experience. Treatments can be adapted to the needs of anyone wishing to enhance their well being, engage in self care, or remediate issues of imbalance, pain, stress, or tension. All sessions begin and end with communication. Shifting needs are a lived reality and can be spontaneous, so communication of such and/or questions during session are encouraged to the scope of ensuring you the client have the most optimal experience of well being that conditions can allow for.
