Yoga and Therapy Methods for Coping with Pain
The spine is often the focus of an assessment as it is the main circuit board of musculo-skeletal action. It is also the conduit of consciousness and so dysfunction affects our mental and emotional states too. If the spine is held in a crooked position through patterns of habit then the ribs and the shoulders are also affected. Knee and hip pain can be a result of the thigh position, weakness in feet or spinal tension maybe the underlying issue. The result is dysfunctional use that can lead to chronic pain.
In a session I am looking at overall alignment. Spinal muscle tension can pull the vertebrae out. The tensions are first addressed through lengthening with some simple gravity assisted yoga positions. Massage therapy may be suggested to assist the process. The approach is gentle yet challenging. I work with you to release the tension at the deepest level, to decompress the muscles and core tension. I work with you to unravel the patterns and re-train the spine. The results can be profound. The mind and body can mirror each other.
Sessions
The first step to working towards a therapeutic approach to pain is to schedule a session and an assessment. From this assessment I can better determine what course of action the therapy will take using my 30 years of experience and training. Most often clients book a structural integration session that includes assessment, treatment, techniques specific to your needs to do at home, and post treatment followup.
