Structural Bodywork (Remedial Massage) is a form of massage that penetrates directly to the moving parts of the body and makes adjustments on both the macro– and microscopic levels. By working with connective tissue, Structural Bodywork helps to heal injuries and dysfunction of muscles, bones, organs and connective tissue itself.
Loosening the connective tissue allows muscles more space in which to work and decreases spasms. Aligning the connective tissue cleans up scar tissue and straightens posture. Painful, chemically toxic trigger points (the primary cause of Fibromyalgia) can be flushed out and aligned using Structural Bodywork. This form of massage is a crucial part of the regimen for healing ligament sprains and tendon tears that occur from sports, exercise and work injuries.
Further, Structural Bodywork flushes toxins out of every part it touches and results in a profound detoxification of the body. Structural Bodywork has also been used by many people to increase physical and emotional awareness. It works well as an adjunct to mental health services.
Structural Bodywork can be done as single, ninety minute sessions that address the specific needs of the client. It can also be done as a series of ten, ninety minute sessions that work through the whole body in a systematic manner.
Along with the traditional 10 session series, Christian has developed an Arm Session that helps to solve problems arising from carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis, and a Jaw Session that helps to solve problems arising from Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome.
