It is more important to know what person has the disease than
what disease the person has.

"How do we quiet the turbulent mind when we live in a society where we value exhaustion and overworking the body and mind so that there is a little regard for stillness and silence? Unlock the science of yoga and you will change from the turbulance to a calm lake."  M. Locke

Methods for Coping with Pain

Sessions
The first step to working towards a therapeutic approach to pain is to schedule a session and be assessed for the best approach.  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 and post treatment followup.  To schedule an appointment contact me: 021871818 or email  motherwellnessnz@gmail.com

The spine and the breath is often the focus of an assessment as it is the main circuit board of musculo-skeletal action and the conduit for electro-magnetic energy.  It is also a conduit of consciousness and so its' dysfunction affects our mental and emotional states too. If the spine is held in a crooked position through patterns of habit then the ribs, pelvis, shoulders, internal organs and breathing are directly affected.  Knee and hip pain can be a result of the thigh position, weakness in feet or spinal tension. The result of bad posture is dysfunctional mechanics of the body, and can lead to chronic pain.
 
In a session I observe overall alignment, breathing and spinal muscle tensions. The tensions may first be addressed through lengthening with some simple gravity assisted yoga positions.  Massage therapy is often 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 and reduce stress and tension.  I work with you to unravel the patterns and re-train the spine.  The results can be profound.


Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace, and power in it.
