I have been seeing more and more clients on my massage table recently whose bodies are in a constant 'holding' state.
The muscles are just sort of 'switched on' is the best way I can describe how it feels through my hands. The fascia is tight and guarded.
Through gentle rhythmic massage I work with the bodies signals to find what works for the individual to relax and restore.
I listen for the exhale, I observe the breathing patterns, the flinch, the tightening, the yawn, the little snore ... these body cues are a communication and I am here listening.
