Movement and Assesment

“More movement is more life.”  Ida Rolf

The body has an optimal position in order to have optimal health and wellness.  Our everyday lives and activities cause problems with this position and create dysfunctions in our bodies.  Stress, holding patterns, improper body mechanics, bad posture, lack of exercise and movement, and muscle compensation all contribute to a compromised body structurally.
It is important for a massage therapist to be able to visually asses the body they will be working on in order to provide optimum benefits to the client.  This applies to everyone and for every type of massage.  For example, we will be able to see tense neck and shoulder muscles causing elevated shoulders and slouching causing pain and stress.  This will be addressed during the massage to provide the most benefit to those muscles.
We can provide a full body viewing assessment and inform you of slight or major muscle dysfunctions and restrictions.
