Bodywork

For the last 20 years I've been refining my craft with enthusiam.  I'm currently offering massage therapy, body unwinding, osteopathic techniques, myofascial release, visceral manipulation, craniosacral, stretching with homecare recommendations to ensure you get the most out of our sessions together and you thrive moving forward in every way.

I have a fascination with fascia and bodies and how they move-or rather lack of movement.

Fascia is the connective tissue glue that surrounds and encompasses every nerve, artery, vein, muscle, organ and gland in the body.  This connective tissue is so adaptive, it takes on whatever position your body is in all day.  It is continuous from your forehead to your toes like a big interconnected cobweb.  

How many people are slouched over a desk not breathing most of the day so the fascia gels them into that hunched over slouched position. Fascia has 6x the amount of nerve endings so it accounts for a large portion of the tension and pain we perceive.  Coincidentally this fascial tension doesn’t show up on MRI’s or ultrasounds, so western medicine can’t see a lot of the pain you are in.  Compensation makes muscles adhere where they shouldn’t and dries out the fascia, gluing it down and adhering it in places where there should be movement.  We are dynamic creatures therefore our tissues should always be moving or we become stagnant and end up creating pain or disease.
