| I have developed a technique that I call Strain NeuroMechanics. It is based on a testable hypothesis, and seems to be superior to most other soft-tissue release techniques. A treatment, however, takes more time, to get the best effect. With it one can pinpoint areas most likely to yield release. There is no forcing—the body will release of itself. The technique has been under development since the late 1980s. I can also adjust the positions of bones with careful pressure. My skills continuously improve. I am presently playing with moderate-to-deep pressure that is able to elicit a release response in the tissue. In my work I rarely use pressure so strong as not to give me tissue feedback. This tends to rule out causing pain. Causing pain is usually counterproductive. However if you want me to work with strong, deep pressure, I can and will do it. You like elbows? I can use them. There is a range of pressures that enable the tissues to let go. Letting go, or release, is a physiological event, and leads to frequently profound relaxation and decreased pain. Releasing restrictions that cause pain isn't always a straightforward business, so bodywork involves thoughtful investigation into the ultimate cause(es) and their locations, of discomfort and pain. 2-3 sessions are often necessary for more serious issues, though more treatments may be necessary. Effective bodywork may take time. If you have long-standing discomfort or pain not amenable to other therapies and standard medical treatment, I might be able to help you. I have previously mixed Rolfing™, Cranial, medical and other methods, for the best outcome. Strain NeuroMechaics subsumes them all. I want you to feel good on the table, when you walk out, and to keep on feeling better. I have been a Certified Rolfer and massage therapist since 1982. Some of the methods I have studied include Craniosacral Therapy, Counterstrain, Medical Massage, Myofascial Release, Muscle Release, Deep Tissue and trigger point. I have practiced Taiji and Qigong since 1970. My work is innovative, sensitive, non-invasive and highly effective. I do use deeper, “Rolfing(tm)” pressures when requested, because, what the hey, some people just feel that, "it ain't got that thing, if it don't have that zing." Cheerio I am a certified Rolfer and nationally certified Medical Massage Therapist. My preferred work doesn't always use the direct techniques standard to those specialties. |
