Are you the individuals who have endured chronic or/and acute aches and pains in the body, the individuals who have suffered asymmetry challenged bodies disadvantage and limited to functional activities, and the individuals who are athletes and want to achieve the next level of trainings & competitions, but feel like plateau has met? If you answer yes to one the above, then this is the right bodywork for you. All injuries and/or aches and pains can be minimized by aligning the body back to its symmetry arrangement. The body is enveloped by various directions of fascia. The fascia nets are the building blocks of the body, the bone gives the body a structure, and the connective tissues protect and support the body for movement. Perhaps, you have experienced the tightness of your hamstrings and hips after sitting for a long period of time, and you have difficulties to stretch your hamstrings, your hips & your back. With this treatment, not only you will feel the restoration of your asymmetry posture, but also you will feel the advancement of quality of life and the improvement of mental clarity.    

How does it work?

The client will be assessed by a therapist while he/she is standing on the floor or lying on the treatment table. A person’s posture is relatively associated to the daily activities at home, at work, at the gym etc. Typically, the discrepancies of a person's body consist of legs length imbalance, elevated and forward rotation of one shoulder or both, protruded head, anterior and/or posterior rotation of both hip joints, excessive rotation of the foot either pronation (dropped foot) or supination (extreme arch). All problems are derived from the bottom of the feet because all the body weights are distributed to the bottom of the feet.  

Remember, spot massage can only exasperate the areas. In the therapeutic world, it is called the hot-spot. Perhaps, you have already experienced having a therapist pounding on your back for 30 or 60mins. You may feel good then, but this only enhances the aggravation of the muscles spasm-cycle. The body consists of many different directions of fascia meridians. One fascia meridian could support its own direction of alignment. Thus, the body is enveloped by different directions of fascia. In this case, the body should be carefully scrutinized. One wrong decision would bring upon aggravation of the muscle spasm-cycle. When the released of the fascia is being accomplished, stretching will come easy later. Then the range of motion is increased steadily without ripping the muscles apart.

Use a car as an analogy for a body. Take a flat tire as an example.  The air of one of the tires is gradually deflating while you're driving. Slowly but surely, you will feel your car's alignment is off and the speed of the car reduces. If one tiny problem is not being resolved as soon as possible, the deflated tire finally shreds its thread and puts you in danger. It goes the same to a human body.  A flat tire is relatively similar to a person who has flat feet. This is where the problem begins.  If flat feet are not corrected over the period of time, problems such as tight SI joints, tight hamstrings, tight gluteus maximize etc may arise. One kink leads to another. By the time you realize it, it's too late your body needs major overhaul and alignment. Thus, normal functional activities cannot be sustained due to the long term compensation of the body. Slowly but surely the body takes its’ tolls. As a result, the chain reaction occurs. The fascia webs become twisted and the connective tissues start to tax the body with more metabolite toxicity. That’s when the sensitivity of the body begins. The body compensates one side due to pain. As a result, the brain sends out messages to all different directions to the body which are known as referred pains. Imagine the brain signals as if it were the sewage being backed up, and someone tries to flush the toilet. As expected, the toilet becomes overflow and water starts to flood the whole area. These are what we see in the stressful physical world in our lives. If the body is in distress, the mind makes hasty decision.

In order to allow your body to move gracefully, you should at least maintain your body through bodywork therapy on a regular basis. In the long run, this treatment will benefit your health and enhance the quality of life. Love yourself and take care of your body. Then your body will do the work for you more efficiently as you move on with your age. Spiritually, this expands your horizon of mental clarity too. Overall, the mind, body and spirit achieve peace, harmony & tranquility. Do yourself a favor! Don’t let aches and pains govern your life. The key is to live well, stay healthy, eat a well-balanced diet, drink lots of water, exercise regularly, have an open mind, & tune up your body as often as we can.
