The goal of Holistic Bodywork is to determine the most appropriate course of therapy for the client’s therapeutic goals.  Massage therapy has been known to be useful for a variety of reasons.  Relaxation, stress reduction, muscle relaxation, and to release tension are a few.  The therapy will start off with a consultation and Postural Assessment.  This tool provides a view of what areas of the body may be most obviously off line.  This also provides a chance to find angles of over compensation, such as one high shoulder on the right and a low hip on right.  These opposing angles will show the righting reflex that helps the body maintain eye level across the viewing plane and keep our balance.  Although balance in our gate is maintained, balance in the postural may be compromised.  Usually after talking through the consultation to this point, other valuable information often gets remembered.  Since the body holds on to whiplash and other trauma through cell memory.  It usual takes something physical, like Postural Assessment, to remember it.  Often when years have passed since these injuries or otherwise have occurred, they commonly get treated as something that will be permanent.  This is not always the case, so trying to release the soft tissue to allow healing to happen can be addressed at any time.  We can identify postural deviations and muscle recruitment patterns.  The rest of the therapy will very unique and specific to each client.  We are all as unique as our therapy.  Wishing you time to heal.
