Have you tried many modalities and yet the problem persists?

Unlike traditional massage, Connective Tissue Massage and The Rolf Method of Structural Integration focus not on the muscles but on their protective layer, the Fascia. The fascial layer surrounds the muscles,bones,and organs of the body. It gives the muscles their shape and the body it's structure.

Fascia wraps through and around all the body's structures including bones,ligaments,tendons  muscles and organs. like plastic wrap,fascia forms a sleeve that "closes off" the end of one structure and then continues on to the next so that it actually exists as one continuous sheet throughout the entire body.

Fascia can be affected by injury,illness,surgery and other physical and emotional stressors. Any of these factors can either immediately or gradually cause an imbalance in the body's fascial network. An imbalance occurs whenever the fascia becomes "tight" and shortened. Examples include sprains, strains,tendonitis,repetitive use injuries such as carpal tunnel, surgical scars or emotionally based tension.

As it shortens, fascial tissue becomes dehydrated. Adjacent layers of the involved fascia tend to adhere to one another further inhibiting their normal function and freedom usually resulting in pain, stiffness or diminished flexibility. 

Both Connective Tissue Massage and The  Rolf Method of Structural Integration  can help restore and normalize areas of affected fascia. Clients often experience an immediate sense of relief. Clients discover increased breathing capacity,improved range of motion or freedom from chronic tension or pain. The process of Structural Integration can even help facilitate emotional release that have long been held in the tissues memories resulting in positive shifts in their capacity to manage stress and overall sense of well-being.


" The human body is not static. It is plastic , and that plastic enables a person's body to be realigned into a more optimally functioning and feeling human being"
