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 look and feel the vertebrae and compare limbs to see if they are misaligned. 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 on the front side of the spine, deep inside, your core tension. I work with you to unravel the patterns and re-train the spine.
Results
The results can be profound. The mind and body can mirror each other. The most noticeable shift may be in your consciousness.
Sessions
The best way for me to help you with a painful condition is to schedule an assessment session. When you come for an assessment, a written, verbal and physical assessment relating to the issue occurs. 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.
