Structural
Integration Bodywork creates
Much greater tightness removal than
with massage, chiropractic, acupressure, reflexology, or Cranial Sacral
work. Yet, with this treatment, these can benefit people more for
what they do.
Also significantly increases a person’s ability to get more benefits from
psychological or spiritual therapy, and stress management training.
This Book Contains a Lot of Information
Rarely Found in Other Books
This book describes how I use Structural Integration
Bodywork along with a set of other, complementary techniques, in a series
of sessions, to remove weeks, months and years of tension and stress, and
to “transform” the body and its energies into a more “un”-stressful
condition, including removing chronic back and other pains.
These techniques even remove old negative
feelings, from past traumatic experiences, right out of the body so they
no longer exist. Just the four 2-hour sessions described here can create
a large amount of this long lasting transformation.
Trauma Releasing Processing is available on the phone with Structural
Connective Tissue Stretching aiding the Netherton-Reichian
verbal-energetic release processing
You can get the Structural Integration Bodywork from someone in you area,
although the sessions will be shorter & spaced out further. Plus,
you'll probably have to wait a number of weeks until the head is done, and
then maybe longer to get it, and other areas, much deeper. However,
the treatment will probably make significant tension removal improvements
right away.
You can get my Structural Stretching Videos through the mail and my Guided
Mind-Into-Body Relaxation tape - soon to come out - as well. And the
Netherton-Reichian release processing can easily be done by phone with me,
especially after you've had your head and torso done.

MAKE FOR A STRESSFUL CONDITION – WITH TESTIMONIALS

INTO A POWERFUL & ENJOYABLE
BODY-ORIENTED PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
Jump Down to Table of Contents
This is a very informative
description of how Structural Integration Bodywork removes short term and
long term stress & tightness effects from people's bodies & makes them
more stress resistant for their future.
This section will introduce the hands-on manipulation technique I use.
Then, I’ll share what it does in terns of stress removal and physical
tightness improvement, including relaxation of the head and removal of
even chronic back pain.
The
Structural Integration Method of Connective Tissue manipulation (often
called “Bodywork” in this booklet) was developed in the 1950's and 1960's
by a PhD physiologist/biochemist in order to fix people's problems that
other methods of physical therapy, medicine and chiropractic could not
fix. This is a hands-on manipulation of the soft connective
tissue of the body, a substance that surrounds and goes through every
structural muscle and internal organ. It is not massage.
The basic treatment “system” works on the whole body, but it’s done
over a number of week’s time. It consists of a series of 10-20 sessions
that make up a 10-step sequence. This sequence is designed to manipulate
and align the muscles and bones of the entire body. Additional
treatments can be applied to correct more significant problems and as
periodic tune-ups after the initial work has been done.
It was
discovered that everyone grows up with contracted soft connective
tissue. And this contraction creates an underlying ground of
continuous physical and emotional stress. This shortened
connective tissue distorts our ideal, or “biologically designed” body
alignment, and it limits our flexibility quite a lot. In addition, it
makes us more susceptible to the negative effects of further stress.
We’re just too tight, and we relate to our world from a “tight” state of
mind. That “state” causes us to “automatically” behave in ways that are
limited. And by acting from a tense condition, they will create even more
tightness.
Now, many
people do get physical treatments to remove tightness, but those
treatments don’t correct this underlying, systemic contraction that’s
developed throughout the entire body. It has been repeatedly
demonstrated that massage, acupressure, physical therapy, psychology,
chiropractic and standard medicine do comparatively little to correct the
shortness and distortions in the connective tissue form. They do have
their own positive effects, and I, myself, have gotten benefits from all
of them.
But when
people were treated with my sessions of Structural Integration Bodywork,
very significant improvements in muscle length, looseness, and
relaxation occurred immediately, and got noticeably better and better as
the treatments improved more of the body. In addition, many people
I’ve treated commented that they got more out of their massage,
chiropractic, yoga and even psychotherapy after they’d had even part
of the whole Structural Integration series. These benefits are
repeatable; they’re natural results of correcting the accumulated
systemic contraction.
The results
of my Bodywork treatments have always been a more tension free, healthier
person who stays more tension free even when subjected to increases
in physical and emotional stress. In addition, old patterns of
psychological distress were noticeably reduced. And there was a
study done in California that showed 25 of 33 mental hospital patients got
a noticeable reduction in both the frequency and intensity of their
anxiety reactions.
I, myself,
also treat people for specific aches and pains, for general tightness,
and to improve their physical abilities, whether debilitated or not. My
clientele has included people from ages 5 to 80.
I have also
developed some very thorough, wholistic programs for personal growth and
stress release, combining the Structural Integration Bodywork with other,
state-of-the-art complementary therapies. The rest of this booklet
explains a lot of my Stress Release and Rejuvenation program in detail.
Now, in this
book, I explain that we treat tight heads, and that the overall
manipulation system removes a lot of built up tightness from the entire
body, while it literally removes stress right out of it.
As part of this introduction, I want to add a comment explaining how
tight heads and a tight back are also parts of a stressed condition.
Structural Integration Bodywork is very effective for stress removal and
helps tight heads. Loosening the many bones and muscles of the head
increases comfort and relaxation in the entire body. The many pieces
of the head should move, as we breathe and when we express ourselves. But
they get very tight, especially during stress. That adversely affects the
back and neck, the nervous system, the ability to breathe deeply, all the
internal organs, our emotional capacity, and our abilities to think
clearly and process large amounts of information.
The head connects to the very top of the spine, and in addition, the
muscles of the head connect directly, or through interconnections, to the
neck vertebrae. So tightness in the head makes the whole spine, all the
vertebra and disk connections, rather tight. I have found that
everyone’s heads get tight, especially people who have had personal or
business stress.
In my own treatments for stress, I first do a lot of loosening and
lengthening on the head, neck, shoulders and back which makes a big
improvement right away. This almost always loosens people’s spines
all the way down the back and more energy even flows to the feet. People
can feel it. In addition, through reflex points, acupuncture energy flows
and a direct ligament-muscle connection, the internal organs are also
affected by the structural head condition. I have had people’s abdomens
relax a lot and their emotional stress dissipate away just while I was
loosening their heads.
This fascial spreading on the head also removes a lot of head trauma. It
opens up the tightness that was pushed into it and it squeezes out a lot
of the emotional charge that was absorbed there during the trauma,
whether it was from abuse or an accident. In the standard 10-step
Structural Integration recipe, the head would not get done much, if at
all, until the 7th session.
Here’s an example from a Psychological therapist, someone who
always uses the head to look, think and use facial and verbal expressions
to treat patients with. This person is also a trained Structural
Integration Bodyworker as well.
My head,
which Lou worked on a lot, feels more relaxed, and there’s more
warmth and circulation in it. I have more energy yet I’m more
relaxed at the same time. I feel better all over, and the treatment
felt really fine.
Ms. M. C., Psychotherapist, Certified Rolfer ®
Stress and back pain are related. Having back pain, in itself, can
make us feel stressed. In fact,
when people have bad back pain, it
often stops their whole lives. And many treatments, including just rest,
often take a long time to give satisfactory benefits. This treatment, on
the other hand, is designed to correct the tightness and structural
misalignment that cause the back pain.
And relatively speaking, it can do it rather fast, while loosening the
rest of the body quite a lot, at the same time. People find their
physical lives get easier and therefore, more pleasant.
Further, the
benefits last for a long time, and the improvements are cumulative.
Just a few hours can help many conditions a lot, and the corrections can
last weeks and months. When more of the body is improved, what felt
better from the previous sessions gets even better and the benefits last
even longer.
Here are a
couple of examples.
I never had this quick a response to any treatment, and I've been
dealing with the same lower back problem for 20 years. Usually, when
it hurts it lasts for 4-5 days and I have to totally rest (except to go to
work). Even then, when I walk around I have extreme difficulty.
What's so different about this treatment is how rapidly it makes
big improvements. I had a 3-hour session. I'm standing up
straighter with less pain. I notice a big improvement in
flexibility in my neck, shoulders and chest. My
hips and pelvis are much looser, as are my calves.
Overall, I feel I'm better aligned.
I even feel more peaceful
inside. And I feel carefree and at ease in a situation that usually gets
me tensed up. I had a second treatment of 2-hours a couple days later
that improved my condition even more.
Mr. K.B., Youth Counselor, Former High School and
College Football Linebacker
Just 3 hours
treatment removed the pain from a flare-up of a 6-year
old back problem, and it stayed away for a few months. Another 2-hour
treatment then also kept the pain away for a few months. In both cases,
my overall tightness diminished, my posture was more upright,
and my movement and balance were easier.
Mr. G.A., College Basketball Coach & Golfer
We're also more susceptible to the effects of stress when we're already
tightened up from the misaligned shape of the body. This shape, with
a big arch in the lower back, often causes back pain, especially lower
back pain and/or sciatica.
We're not very "stress immune" because of this either. The entire
back of the body, including the head, neck and legs, is being held tight.
So the body is already in a stressed and tense condition. And
added tightness due to the next stress just tightens it up more.
Just a little bit more tightness from the emotional reaction can bring on
the back pain or make it worse. Also, emotional tension in the gut
tightens the muscles connected to the vertebrae in the lower back. Some
people may get immediate lower back pain or sciatica whenever this
happens.
This structural misalignment also creates a stressful behavior, one in
which we "have to keep going." We're pulled down in front and we're
constantly arching the lower back to pull ourselves up. The body posture
says, "I have to keep straining, even just in everyday life."
After
this shape has been corrected and the body was more balanced and centered,
a number of people have been able to "let down" from intense work and do
more things for themselves.
Here is what a business owner said. He’d had a big arch in his
lower back with a lot of tightness all over his body, including the head.
I'd look forward to the total relaxation after each
session. I slept incredibly. It would free my mind of all
stress. When Lou worked on my head, right away deep
relaxation would flow through my entire body; I remembered that
part from session to session.
The overall effects of the sessions carried into my
work and home life. I always used to push myself, even if I was
already straining. Now, if I need time out during the day, I can let
go and take it. I can now focus on what is most important and things
don't "work me up" so much.
Mr. C.L., V.P. Finance and part owner, Computer Systems
Firm, age 37
Structural Integration Bodywork is purposely designed to correct this
misalignment and remove the chronic tension.
Working the whole body, months and years of accumulated stress are
removed at the same time that tightness all over the body is re-lengthened
and the shape is more straightened out. Built-up emotional charge in
the tissues gets erased, too.
Faces
look more open, less strained or "scrunched up," and even younger. Eyes
get more relaxed. Neck tension is reduced.
Here are two examples.
Most of the
time I've felt tense. In just the first session I felt like I relaxed
years. I feel I can let those years go now, and I can move forward.
I feel like I can think smoothly. And I don't ever recall feeling this
good in the past 10 years.
Ms. B.J., Attorney, age 32
My body
doesn't hurt anymore. My headaches are gone; so is the
neck pain, low back pain and the daily shoulder pain. The
tightness in my chest is gone and I can take deep breaths. I'm
physically stronger. I can do more than I've ever been able to do,
for longer. I sleep better and I look much better.
Ms L.G., Attorney, age 37
The body is literally "reformed" and "cleaned up," and its
tissue quality and metabolism is healthier. So it works a lot better
physically & is more stress resistant as well. People find the old stress
they had is gone, they don't tighten up in stressful situations as much as
they used to, and they let go of their tensing up faster. And pains due
to accumulated tightness are routinely removed.
Here is what two health care professionals said.
I
don't tense up now in what used to be stressful situations,
particularly those regarding expectations, such as my sons' doing well in
school. Now I just take it as it comes.
Mr. J. G., RN, Intensive Care Nurse,, age 37
From 3 hours of Bodywork and “Structural
Stretching,”
the most
significant result was that my TMJ is much better.
Before, pressing around in front
of the ear would always hurt a lot. In fact, all the area was
excruciating when I pressed with even the slightest touch. Now, only a
couple of spots are “slightly” sensitive.
From this Bodywork,
I also sleep very
deep, much better than before.
Ms. T.M. ,Certified Massage Therapist, Certified Master
Herbalist & Certified Holistic Health Practitioner
This overall openness and "unblocking" has helped many people express
themselves more openly and more confidently. And their minds were calmer
and clearer. A lot of their old fears due to tension and embedded
negative emotions, were now gone.
My own special multi-faceted program, Postural Integration Plus
increases these stress release benefits from the bodywork alone, and adds
more personal development. It's especially helpful for trauma
release, too, from very old as well as recent experiences. The energies
we absorbed during the past trauma still stay inside the body and
therefore keep making our reactions to current stress more than they
should be.
When we remove the old emotional energies created inside us during past
stressful experiences, we no longer react in such a stressful way to our
current stressful experiences. Netherton and Reichian Therapy
techniques add a lot to the releasing we can do with the Bodywork itself.
They can actually get out the deeper energies in the organs and remove the
negative "belief systems" that say we should get so tensed up in those
kinds of situations.
Here is what three people said, who’d each had a number of
combinational sessions.
I've had a lot of good results from the cumulative sessions of bodywork
and bodymind therapies.
I'm able to drop the worries of the job a lot easier.
Simply because of that, I'm sleeping a lot better and I even need less
sleep. I also don't have as many physical aches and pains, and
when I feel stiff, I use Lou's special stretching
exercises to clear it out right away.
I can now recognize that other people have problems, too,
and I'm not bothered by their emotions as much. And because I've been
able to see the dynamics of my own problems, what happens in stressful and
difficult situations isn't so vague to me. So I can also have more
compassion with other people.
I don't feel trapped in stressful job
situations the way I used to feel. Goals that I used to have, but that
seemed impossible because I didn't think myself capable of them, now seem
possible. Life is not this evil taskmaster forcing me to do
something, or not do something. Emotionally, I feel like, "Why not?! I
can do it if I want!"
Mr. B. I., Architect, age 40
I was most impressed with the personal growth I developed. The
combination of physical and emotional treatments together gave me insight
into different parts of myself, and the bodywork "opened me up" so I could
take advantage of the verbal and emotional therapy.
I gained insight into
some of my behavior and feelings. And I got in touch with the unfinished
business that originated in my earliest childhood. Through the Body-mind
release processing I've been able to let go of the different feelings and
attitudes that were limiting me, and that I didn't like having but
wasn't able to release before.
While I was a
loving, caring person before the treatment, it specifically opened my
heart more and helped me let go of the fears and past difficulties
that caused me stress in both my social and professional lives. Now I
can better deal with people who are closed and help them much more. And I
feel confident with who I am and what I can do.
Ms. J.L.,
Social Worker & Registered Nurse, age 28
I began a series of Bodywork and
Body-mind releasing treatments soon after my father died. I was
feeling sad, depressed, and dissatisfied with all my relationships in
general. In the first session I released a lot of pent up frustration as
well as grief and felt "100%" better. Through succeeding sessions
I've developed a greater, and growing, sense of well being and self
worth.
Mr. S.S., age
20, Entrepreneur-Businessman
One other thing many
people say is that they feel more “in” their bodies.
I developed a much greater sense of how the physical
parts connected together and I felt increased energy flowing
throughout my body. I feel looser and more whole at the
same time.
Dr. K.A., PhD
, Clinical Psychotherapist
This release
of actual energetic substance and physical tension has literally
created more space in my body. I can now get more fully “into my body”
and bring in more oxygen and life-force.
Ms. J.B.,
Massage Therapist, Reiki Energy Practitioner, Intuitive counselor
All these and other stress
testimonials can be found in Appendix I. Testimonials for personal growth
and trauma removal are in Appendix III, and those for physical
improvements including back pain removal, seniors’ benefits and
performance improvement for elite athletes, can be found on my website,
www.backfixbodywork.com.
I have added a second and third appendix, a description of a Personal
Development program by using these very same techniques, and a bunch of
Personal Development and Trauma Removal testimonials that were
accomplished using the combinational approach I describe in the main
section of this book, and sometimes amplified by receiving more than four
sessions, guided by the understanding explained in the second appendix.
But a number of the results, as described in the individual testimonials,
happened right in the first couple hours of treatment. And they were
permanent.
This
description will explain how the very process of stress removal, with THIS
system, is actually transforming people into Higher Performing Beings, no
matter what we are doing. These improvements are bringing us more toward
our “designed” behavior, but we haven’t been able to see nor use it
because of all the tightness we’ve had distorting us. As we are
transformed more and more into the proper functioning system, we quite
naturally have to be removing the negative aspects of the distorted
system, and that includes the tightness and negative emotional charge from
past stress.
As you read the
explanation, you will see what we’re really made up of, and how we can
make ourselves better in this way.
Essentially, the
processing makes the good parts of you bigger, and better, while it makes
the bad parts smaller. So I have a slogan, I MAKE WHO YOU ARE
BETTER, SO EVERYTHING YOU DO IS BETTER !
Here is a classic testimonial,
but one by a person who’d already been working on himself
spiritually, psychologically, nutritionally and energetically. So the
results show in all those areas.
I'd had 10 hours of Lou's Structural Bodywork in 3 days and it vastly
improved my overall physical condition. The emotional and spiritual
benefits have been tremendous, too. Psychosomatically I was already a
spiritually oriented person, and a nice person. But I now see that the
energies that had developed inside me were restricted by the tightness of
my structural muscles. These distortions in my different physical parts
(due to tightness) had been significantly limiting my expression as a
fuller, more whole person. The parts were somewhat blocked and they
were not "integrated" with each other. Now, my head feels connected to my
torso and they're connected to my legs. "We" all work together smoother
and more naturally. And the amount of energy coming through me, and out
of me, is greater.
I feel a new sense of inner radiance and I even feel
"glowing" on the outside.
My intuitive centers and psychic abilities are stronger
and clearer. Immediately, the next day after these treatments, I find
myself working more happily, effortlessly, more creatively and more
joyously. And I'm doing so much more in a shorter time.
Mr. H.P., astrologer & spiritual counselor
School trained & graduated Energy Healer and Spiritual Minister
Here is a
testimonial from someone else, also a nice person, and very intelligent,
who’d never done the practices of this first person, but he, too,
transformed in both mind and body. He is a scientist for an aerospace
company and describes how just the Bodywork itself transformed him inside
himself, and how that positively changed his job performance.
I get stressed on the job, in my personal business and
driving the car on the freeway. And when I get stressed my shoulders
lift up, I tighten in my upper back, my right leg hurts, I feel tightness
between my eyes, and sounds become highly amplified. I can't stand
loud noise as it is, and stress makes it worse. Then it's another drain
on my energy to tune out the noise.
I feel much better after a treatment. All the symptoms go
away, and more than that, I feel more capable of dealing with the
problems, so that they'll produce less stress.
Most directly, since my body isn't trying to deal with the
pain, it has more reserves to deal with other things. But I also feel
more in tune with myself, more integrated. It gives me greater calmness
and more of a feeling of confidence of being able to deal with the
situation at hand.
Besides
these "rejuvenation" affects, Lou's sessions improve my job performance in
two other ways.
First, I have a somewhat different view of time.
Time criticality of a lot of things doesn't seem as critical. I feel less
rushed, even if there are demands from other people, and I can
evaluate their reports more objectively. You become more open to a
long term and well-considered view and you get away from crisis
management.
And
second, from my improved mental and physical condition, I wind up being
able to focus on the actual problem at hand, rather than the interaction
problems started by inputs from the other people. Before getting
Lou's treatments, I'd get so caught up in the immediate interactions that
I couldn't step back. Now, rather than focusing on their real or
imagined ideas about the problem, I can put that aside, step back and
focus. I can remove the other people's biases and abstract the real
problem better.
Mr. I. B., Sr. Scientist, Venus Probe Spacecraft, Hughes
Aircraft, age late 40's.
Finally, I’m
including a long testimonial from a 59-year-old medical doctor.
It summarizes a lot of the points I’ve shared above, including how back
pain can lower a person’s quality of life and, reading between the
lines, see how that’s a stressful condition, for the person, and for his
or her family. And the physical and emotional things we do, in an
accumulation of stressful and effortful times, can lead to this ongoing,
“body,” stressful and painful situation.
This testimonial
is about purely physical improvements done with just the Bodywork, and how
that positively changed this person and it literally, turned back the
clock on her physical tightnesses and chronic back pain.
I worked on this
doctor in a chiropractic office, alternating treatments with a good
chiropractor, someone who also did a lot of applied kinesiology.
This doctor was
such a very nice person. And she’d had a tremendous amount of structural
tightness when we started and it had significantly impinged on her life.
Even though she wasn’t “stressed out,” like from work, that debility
was definitely a stressful situation. And I’m sure that the stress of
having to treat patients for many years contributed to her overall
tightness and back pain.
I was very happy
I could help her so much. The whole treatment of 2-hours to 4-hours a
week lasted a couple of months. (Nowadays, because of my improved
technique and added experience, I can do a lot more in a week or two.)
Here is what she said.
I had a number of bodywork treatments along with chiropractic
to treat a chronic low, middle and upper back problem, with chronic pain
in my left knee and a lack of flexibility. I have had a
significant scoliosis and rotation in my lower spine. I had stopped my
work for a while, particularly because of the low back pain. I started
treatment when the condition became so severe that I was immobilized.
I
first had a few chiropractic treatments that fixed this severity and I
could walk again. The (less severe) condition was then as it had
been for years. I then also started the bodywork.
The first few hours of treatment immediately helped me be
able to stand for four hours at a time whereas before my back hurt if I
stood for only two hours. It also allowed me to sit for a while in a
straight back chair, which I had not been able to do.
After a number of bodywork treatments the chiropractor had
to do a lot fewer adjustments and my lower back got a lot better. And I
could stretch in ways that were previously painful.
I continued with more bodywork
sessions that further improved my
condition. My lower back pain and
knee pain are much better. I now can do a lot of stretching and other
exercises, I've been bike riding and I'm a lot more flexible.
The special stretching exercises Lou taught me
really help a lot. I also noticed that my left knee pain and my
lower back pain are related, and if I stretch my legs, they both get
better.
My life is much better. I'm more
lively. I have more stamina, my posture is better, and I'm willing to do
more things. My family has also noticed. And if my back pain occurs, a
chiropractic adjustment takes it away again.
The treatment has lasted, even 4 months after my last
bodywork session. In fact, I recently had a cold and didn't do
my exercises for a month; I thought it would be a problem to start again,
that's I'd hurt myself. But when I did I found it fine and that my body
had maintained the looseness and agility.
You really made a big difference in
my life, Lou, and I incorporated in my daily routine a lot of the things
that I learned from you. Thanks again for everything.

"STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION BODYWORK"
With, A Comment About How Tight Heads And Back Tension Make For A
Stressful Condition – With Testimonials
And, Information About Extending This Process
Into A Powerful & Enjoyable Body-Oriented Personal Development System
The Structural Integration Method of Connective Tissue manipulation (often
called “Bodywork” in this booklet) was developed in the 1950's and 1960's
by a PhD physiologist/biochemist in order to fix people's problems that
other methods of physical therapy, medicine and chiropractic could not
fix.
Structural Integration Bodywork is very effective for stress removal and
helps tight heads. Loosening the many bones and muscles of the head
increases comfort and relaxation in the entire body.
The many pieces of the head should move, as we
breathe and when we express ourselves. But they get very tight,
especially during stress.
But we're also more susceptible to the effects of stress when we're
already tightened up from the misaligned shape of the body. This shape,
with a big arch in the lower back, often causes back pain, especially
lower back pain and/or sciatica. We're not very "stress immune" because
of this either.
This description will explain
how the very process of stress removal, with THIS system, is actually
transforming people into Higher Performing Beings, no matter what we are
doing. These improvements are bringing us more toward our “designed”
behavior, but we haven’t been able to see nor use it because of all the
tightness we’ve had distorting us. As we are transformed more and more
into the proper functioning system, we quite naturally have to be removing
the negative aspects of the distorted system, and that includes the
tightness and negative emotional charge from past stress. As you read the
explanation, you will see what we’re really made up of, and how we can
make ourselves better in this way.
CHAPTER 1
AN OUTLINE OF THE PROGRAM
THE 3 PHASES & NUMBER OF SESSIONS IN EACH PHASE
THE LENGTH OF EACH SESSION, AND HOW OFTEN TO GET SESSIONS
Phase 1 removes a significant amount of stress, tightness, aches and
pains, makes people feel more deeply relaxed over more of their bodies,
and people find it noticeably increases their energy, mobility,
flexibility, ease of outward expressiveness and even their stress
resistance.
Phase 2 removes an equal or greater amount of tightness, often corrects
long time stubborn pains, significantly reduces, and often removes, many
old physical and emotional patterns that cause stress and stressful
attitudes, and realigns the body into a much more stress resistant,
deeply relaxed, energy producing and more efficient form.

CHAPTER 3
FOR ALL SESSIONS,
RELEASING OUR “NEURO-MUSCULAR” TENSION
AND ADDING NOURISHING ENERGY
While Developing A Stronger Mind-Body Inter-Connection
After You’re
Relaxed and Loosened with Some Initial Bodywork, We Do A Guided Relaxation
Process with Combined with Light “Jin Shin” Style Acupressure: The
Bodywork releases contracted soft connective tissue. But within
the shape of our muscles’ connective tissue wrappings, we also accumulate
tense muscle fiber action because we “forget” to turn off a lot of
nerve signals that we’ve been sending out to the body all day long. This
“purposeful” and directed releasing process “turns off” these signals and
causes the “muscle action” to let go.
