Integrative bodywork is a holistic approach that seeks to balance and align your body in the field of gravity for greater ease in action, breathing and greater wellbeing. It combines gentle soft tissue manipulation with movement education to neutralize the effects of overuse, misuse or injury and realign your body.

After a bump, a fall, an injury, surgery or overuse, you may feel pain and stiffness or it may go unnoticed as your body adapts to all changing circumstances as best it can. When an area of the body is misaligned or out of balance other areas compensate. Strain, adhesions and tension patterns develop within the fascial layers. Your fascia is the web of connective tissue that permeates your entire body, envelopes every muscle and organ and connects everything. An injury in your toe can eventually cause a problem in your shoulder. Integrative bodywork seeks to restore your fascia to its healthy state which is fluid, flexible and responsive.

The movement education dimension of this work restores range of motion, strength, and balanced action. It enhances your ability to live and move in harmony with the forces of gravity and ground reaction force so you feel supported, lighter and more energized.
