Which therapy is right for me?

I use a range of approaches to best meet the needs of different people and conditions.  Don't worry if you're not sure what is best for you - when you come in for your first session we'll do an assessment and discuss a plan of action.  We can integrate these approaches into your standard Rolfing sessions or do stand-alone sessions.  If you're interested in more details or specifically in a certain therapy, click on the links below,

Rolfing Structural Integration

Rolfing uses slow, deep pressure on the connective tissue (fascia) combined with movement to help the body rebalance itself and increase the body's awareness of itself (the body map and proprioception), as well as engaging postural muscles.  This enables the body to find more effective ways of balance and movement and to let go of excessive tension, and helps reset pain signals.  Rolfing is ideal for chronic tension and improving movement patterns.

Visceral Manipulation

A more-specific, lighter-touch approach often used when you have a more specific restriction, have had an accident, abdominal surgery, or gone through pregnancy and childbirth.  This approach is also great for people who find the Rolfing techniques uncomfortable.

Neural Manipulation

Light touch work on the peripheral and cranial nerves.  This is useful for people with past whip-lash injuries or hits to the head, neuropathy,  or nerve issues  e.g. sciatica, tennis elbow, TMJ.  This approach is also great for people who find the Rolfing techniques uncomfortable.

Egoscue Movement Therapy

Egoscue therapy is a highly effective system of positions and exercise you can do at home.  

Traditional Thai Massage

Traditional Thai Massage combines acupressure and stretch.  It works to stimulate and mobilize the body.  Thai bodywork is good for people who have general tightness and too much muscle tone, or for people who want a more full body energetic effect.  Depending on what you need, it can be either stimulating and increase energy, or very calming and meditative.
