Our Focus is NOT primarily on “fixing” your pain or dysfunction, or all the various “Soft Tissue Issues“ happening in your body, causing so much trouble. Those positive results are, in many cases, inevitable BY-PRODUCTS of what we REALLY do …

While we WILL address specific musculoskeletal issues if you prefer, HERE is what we are REALLY focused on …

Ideally, when we work with your muscles and fascia, or the skin over your muscles, we are NOT primarily focused on “treating” those tissues to “fix” or “repair” or “adjust” them, or “break up” so-called adhesions or “scar tissue” or other such alleged anomalies… even if there are “hard knots” or otherwise dysfunctional musculo-fascial tissue.

What we ARE doing is applying manual pressure or stretching to the various skin, muscle & fascial tissues in a way that sends NERVE SIGNALS to your Central Nervous System ( CNS ) and the three Primary Levels of you Brain.

It just so happens that most of the time, the musculo-fascia with Hard Knots are where the MOST neurological stresses and imbalances are focalized. Because they are often hyper-sensitive, they are often the best places by which to “send signals” to the central nervous system ( CNS ) and brain.

Of Course, you might know of our NO Pain, MORE Gain approach, in which you, the Client or Patient, should never be experiencing pain from the therapy. Our interactive approach works best if you keep in communication with your therapist, never letting them go too deep.

Modern Medical & Neurological Science PROVES that IF the “right messages” are sent to the CNS & Brain, and no “intrusions” or “de-stabilizations” are perceived, your stress & tension levels will spontaneously begin to reduce.

AND your Parasympathetic Nerve system will initiate internal, physiological healing processes that spontaneously heal MANY symptoms and conditions.

Even the immune system is positively responsive to this process.

AND, the Right “Neuro-Messages” will begin reducing the accumulated  stress, tension & negative habit patterns interfering with life itself.

In turn, many tissue issues just spontaneously begin clearing up WITHOUT focusing on them.

Whole Body, Systemic, Structural DE-Compression & Balancing

Ideally, rather than focusing on specific, localized, narrowly focused trauma or injury, we START with a systemic, wholistic, Whole Body DE-Compression & Structural Balancing of the major muscle groups of your body.

In many cases, that can take one or two dozen sessions. … If a person has a lot of stress, trauma or injury in their past, it can take much longer.

Yet more often than not, when using this more global approach to therapy, many, if not most, of your localized problems begin to resolve or dissolve, almost on their own.

Then, with overall systemic, internal “pressure” in the hard knots releasing, the more localized problems are, in the long run, FAR easier to work with and resolve, if they are still there at all.

To Be Fully Transparent … while we have MANY examples of amazingly quick results, they are maybe ten percent or fewer of our Clients.

For example, I have, literally, met people in hotel restaurant bars, found out they were contemplating or scheduled for a surgery. Twenty minutes later (variable, of course), working on them right at the bar of the restaurant, they quickly became convinced they did NOT need the surgery because I was able to release the musculo-fascial tensions producig the symptoms of pain or reduced range-of-motion or whatever was bothering them.

One guy at the Hyatt Hotel in Downtown Boston went from almost NO range-of-motion to almost FULL range-of-motion in maybe 20 minutes. He was waving his arm around very enthusiastically when I was done! … (I have more than a few stories like that!)

In such cases, finding the hard knots gives you access to the most neurologically stressed muscles, providing a lot of relief in a short period of time.

Yet because MOST of our Clients have been in pain or 20 or 30 years, or were in multiple traumas such as car, skiing, horse, or motorcycle accidents, or have severe but less obvious issues, and have “tried everything” to get better … those people often take a LOT longer to get better. Sometimes a LOT longer.
