• A body/mind/spirit approach that utilizes advanced manual therapies and techniques to meet the individual needs of each client.

  • Treatment focuses on the whole person including the structural (soft tissue) restrictions and energetic imbalances, that accompany chronic stress, health issues, or pain patterns.


BODY
  • Whole body evaluation is an important part of effective and comprehensive treatment.  It is necessary to use a whole body approach, because we are comprised of complex interrelated systems. Essentially, everything is connected. Restrictions, or tightness in any part of the body may potentially affect other parts.  For example, chronic neck pain can be caused by restrictions/tightness in the pelvis or diaphragm. An old knee injury can cause hip pain.  Restrictions in the sacrum or occiput can result in headaches. Visceral fascial restrictions can cause low back pain.  Scar tissue from an old surgery can cause adhesions resulting in imbalances throughout the rest of the body...etc. These restrictions can place pressure on pain sensitive structures and create all types of symptoms. In this approach, we find the pain and look elsewhere for the cause.

MIND
  • Although we are working on the physical body, the mind and body are inextricably linked. Essentially there is no separation. Just as physical pain can affect how we think and feel, the effects of mental and emotional stress (conscious or subconscious) may cause pain patterns or other physical and emotional symptoms.  Stress is often insidious, causing the body to tighten up outside our awareness putting pressure on pain sensitive structures.The body remembers all experiences, even if they are outside of our current awareness. You may be surprised where the symptoms are coming from. The goal is to create structural and energetic balance so the body can correct itself.   Life is motion. Our bodies tighten up as we resist the flow of life. This impedes the healing process and perpetuates the problem. It is necessary to "listen to the body" and treat the cause not the symptoms. Connecting the physical to the emotional, for some patients, is an effective way to get to the cause of a problem. (Releasing stress from the body helps relax the mind/body but is not a replacement for psychotherapy from a licensed mental health professional).

SPIRIT
  • When the body /mind are in alignment, a person’s true self and spiritual well-being can be expressed. Often this process offers a person new meaning about symptoms allowing pain to be transformed by consciousness.
