MASSAGE THERAPY

Focusing on Fascia

Unlike typical Deep Tissue massage therapy, which focuses on pressing into muscles, I focus on changing fascia to create lasting changes in the body.  By unlocking stiff and stuck body parts, softening and lengthening fascia, taking pressure off the bones, and freeing nerve impingements,  you will be moving and feeling better than you have in a long time.   

Targeting the Root

As odd as it may seem, I often find releasing fascial restrictions in the armpits to be a hidden key to alleviating:  Neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches,  thoracic outlet syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome and even many jaw issues like TMJ.   

Movement as Medicine

If you have SI Joint pain, hip joint pain or low back pain, you likely have sticky or stuck SI joints.  I can help open your hips,  restore lost movements and bring balance to the 30 muscles that stabilize and move your hips.   

SOMATIC GUIDANCE

We all have stress and trauma trapped in our bodies, especially if you watch or listen to the news these days.  These are stressful times and it is important to release the accumulated trauma that gets stored and trapped in your muscles and joints.   Somatic guidance is a gentle way to facilitate the release of stress, trauma or whatever you are holding onto that is unhelpful and no longer serving you.  Letting go of stress and trauma: improves physical and mental well-being, emotional regulation, reduces anxiety and can be the missing link when resolving chronic pain.  

ROLF METHOD

In the 1940's and 50's, Ida Rolf created an entire manual therapy system utilizing Myofascial Release techniques to change fascia and improve a persons overall structural alignment which eliminates or greatly reduces all kinds of chronic pain while improving:   joint mobility,  muscle elasticity, balance, breathing, energy, vitality and an overall sense of being more embodied.


She called it Structural Integration, but it became widely known as Rolfing©.  Going through a 10 series is like overhauling your whole body, mind and spirit.  For many people it is a profound and life changing experience.  


If you are feeling stuck in life, and are feeling like your body needs an overhaul,  The Rolf 10 series can be a profound and powerful way to make changes in your life.  


Changes are not limited to the physical body. It is common for people to experience improvements in their thinking and emotional bodies.  Thinking gets more clear and emotions tend to come into balance as the physical body comes into alignment. 


A healthier, more vibrant life is within reach.   Lasting relief and rejuvenation await those ready to embrace a new approach to wellness.

The exact Phrase "myofascial release" was coined in the 1960's by Robert Ward, an osteopath who studied with Ida Rolf, the originator of Rolfing©.  “Myo” refers to muscle and “fascial” refers to fascia, the thin fibrous material the runs through and wraps around muscles.  Rolf created an entire  bodywork system based on Myofascial Release  techniques to  treat chronic pain and improve posture. She called it Structural Integration, but in her honor, it became known as Rolfing©. 


Myofascial Release treatments feel quite different than massage.  Myofascial Release is  like a blend of Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Massage Therapy.  In broad general terms, Massage Therapists work on the muscles, Physical Therapists strengthen muscles and Chiropractors work on the bones.  Myofascial Release Therapists work in the fascia.  By releasing fascial restrictions, the fasciae of the body can lengthen and become balance, which decompresses joints and  allows bones to return to their natural alignment.



All Rolfers®  are Structural Integrators, but not all Structural Integrators are Rolfers®.  The words ROLFER and ROLFING are service marks of  The Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration.  The words ROLFER and ROLFING are used by individuals trained and certified by the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute®.   Other Schools of Structural Integration have shared roots with The Dr. Ida Rolf Institute®  through the study of Ida Rolf's rich legacy of teachings. Graduates from other schools ca say they practice The Rolf Method of Structural Integration, not Rolfing®. 


Structural Integration when done well is relaxing.  Fascia changes effortlessly and painlessly when muscles are relaxed. It's  magical.                                 


No, you will benefit from a single session or two but the most lasting changes will be experienced during a Traditional Rolf 10 Series.
