Balancing the body for better performance (especially for athletes)
-
One session is about 45 minutes long. You will be in a private area and lying on a message table.
The practitioner will be in and out of your room after performing pinpointed moves on muscles, tendons, nerves, and ligaments. This allows the brain and body to communicate to the signals being input via the practitioner’s moves.
-
Switches body from a state of protection/alarm into a state of recovery and repair.
A system of moves that challenges soft tissue, releases its congestion and stimulates energy flow. It relieves pain and inflammation, and is an overall tonic to the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
This therapy has positive effects on nerve, muscle and connective tissue that provides lasting relief from pain and misalignment.
-
Rather than focusing on a single complaint, we address the entire body, by restoring balance via the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS controls over 80% of bodily functions and is very susceptible to external stressors. Most people today live in a constant state of high stress. Healing can occur only after the ANS shifts from sympathetic to parasympathetic dominance (rest, relax and repair mode).

It is best to wear light, thin clothing such as a t-shirt, and loose pants, workout clothes, and socks.
You will remain fully clothed for the entirety of the session.

There are ‘pauses’ of time that are given between sets of therapeutic moves during a treatment session. Without pauses, there would be no chance for the nerve to respond completely. We are trying to get the body to respond in the nervous system, muscle, fascia, and in cerebrum (central processor of the brain). We want it to change the way it’s doing business – switch it off and allow it time to reboot. Switching from sympathetic state of being on to a parasympathetic state of recuperation and relaxation.
Without the pauses, there would be less response. The pause gives the cementing of the change.
