Structural Bodywork

Structural Bodywork focuses on your fascial system.

Fascia is a connective tissue in the body that surrounds your organs, tendons, and muscles, literally giving the body its shape.  Over time, fascia can thicken and stick to surrounding structures due to injuries, stresses, and habitual movements.

Structural Bodywork is a “big picture,” holistic approach to working with the body.

Together we'll aim to understand how your fascia is holding your patterns and determine how we can work with your fascia to re-educate the body into more efficient and energy-sustaining patterns.

In Structural Bodywork, we'll spend the first part of each session looking at the relationships between parts of your body and doing movement assessments to understand your patterns. We'll use this information to develop a treatment plan for the session, that over the course of several sessions aims to improve your posture, breathing, and movement.

Structural Bodywork sessions will be booked in a series of 4 sessions and are best received weekly or biweekly as they build on each other.

Session 1: Feet + Lower Leg

Session 2: Upper Leg + Hip

Session 3: Spine + Ribcage

Session 4: Neck + Shoulders

These sessions are different from table massage in a handful of ways. 

Dress: You'll wear appropriate underwear, a bathing suit, or gym clothing to receive bodywork.

Documentation: We'll take pictures before each session so we can visually track changes.

Application of work: Minimal amounts of oil are used so I can more accurately feel what’s happening in your tissues.

Participation: You'll be more active in receiving by moving and breathing in particular ways as we work with your fascia. You'll be up and down off the table to see how the work is landing in your body.

Appointments for Structural Bodywork are currently very limited and offered at a discounted rate while I transition into this style of work.

Please reach out directly to schedule so we can ensure the timing of your sessions.
