By working in-between the muscles, relief is obtained. Client participation is required to contract and relax muscles in order to work this layer, minimal lotion is used, and this is best performed with multiple session spaced weeks apart. Fascia lies between the muscles, bones, and around organs often in a continuous sheet.
As the fascia is released, it allows the surrounding structures to move more efficiently and return to their optimal position. Great if you have general soreness, have been in an accident, or you need to take a mental vacation! After a Swedish relaxation massage you will feel like a new person.
Structural Integration Structural Integration SI works with patterns in your whole body so that you have an easier time breathing, moving, and participating in your life. SI seeks to balance the fascia the connective tissue web that runs throughout your body so that it is freed in areas of restriction and stabilized in areas of weakness.
Being in your body then feels more harmonious. Physical benefits of SI often include reduced pain, a more lifted, effortless posture, and increased range of motion. It can enhance your understanding of your body and its patterns. Because we are working with fascia, changes initiated in SI work often continue to resonate for months. Hot Stones The basalt stones add a warming and relaxing sensation to your massage that cannot be beat except with heat!
