Lifting

 

Pushing

 

 

The advantages of maintenance:

Stronger structure 

Less stuck and bunched together tissue

Freedom of movement

Your body becomes resilient

Less pain

Better quality of life

You get to keep your balance

Now pushing, carrying, pulling, lifting and squatting become the norm instead of the “things I had been able to’s”.

Mustard and its Healing Properties

Mustard – how good is it for you?

I have heard, actually from a client and since, that yellow mustard is helpful in getting rid of leg cramps.  I was looking into this and found out that not only is it true, but that mustard has healing qualities, including nourishing hair, pain relief, skin benefits and the list goes on.  https://www.naturalfoodseries.com/13-benefits-mustard/.  

Natural remedies aren’t just that, they are tried and true methods of healing the body.

Between the Hands

Between the hands lies the answers to the landscape of the body and takes them to where the tissue leads.

This is what I do with Structural Integration.  Follow the tissue. Guide it, influence it and ultimately rebuild the body through it.

Pain to Calm

Pain can strike at any time.

Wouldn’t it be great to have it go away?

 

To calmness, expansiveness, tranquility.

 

Let’s have calm instead.

Scar Work

Scars come in all shapes, sizes, thicknesses and collagen levels. Whether it is a burn, caesarean, or scars from surgery, I want to get the scar more integrated into the surrounding tissue. This makes for smoother, easier movement. Moving freely over the bones and muscles. Scars can be filled in, opened and softened. With scar work, it can be accomplished.

CHRONIC PAIN

Having chronic pain is not for the faint of heart.  It is the monkey on your back, that black hole, the all consuming nightmare that is with you.  Giving it a name:  “Pain” or owning it: “My pain” only sets you back.  It then takes on a life of its own. These are constant themes that all people who have chronic pain have lived.lighteing clouds

Many times an injury is gone but the tissue cannot let go so pain can linger.   People spend years trying to find out what is causing their discomfort and all out pain.  Once they do, it is a matter of constant research because they soon realize that they need to.  Trial and error.  Figure out what works and when and keep moving.   Research. Get your tool box together.  Experiment. The answers will appear.  The body can heal.  It does require patience and knocking on doors.  And listening.  But it does and can get better.  I have lived it and I understand it.  Structural Integration can unravel the tissue to the source and peel off layers of stuck tissue.  The more we can unwind, stretch and open up different layers that lead to the core, we discover a person who is no longer stuck in their bodies, stuck in pain.  This is worth the work.
