I’m teasing a bit here but I was really feeling like I had bolts in my neck on this day and I was super grumpy! Grrrr, zombie like. 🧟‍♀️

Fortunately Alicia worked the fascia of my traps and neck with a Structural Integration, myofascial tecnique that we both learned in our training at .

The founder, Lee Joseph, made a profound impression on our bodywork and lives with his interpretation of Ida Rolf’s Structural Integration techniques and somatic awareness practices.

Here Alicia is anchoring the tissue of my trapezius muscles, the one that can make you feel like a hunchback, and calling for motion. This gives my nervous system the felt sense of the tissue being returned to my back, instead of raised to my ears. The shift is amazing as you usually see a person’s shoulder’s drop sometimes as much as an inch or more.

In the moment the work may be deep and intense, but after, you feel alive again. I could once more take a full deep breath. If you watch closely you can see the moment in the chest rise.

Mahalo Alicia! Book with her Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays at the link in the bio.

We “listen” with our hands (and feet) and this is how 🫶🏾

“Where you think it is, it ain’t” —Dr. Ida Rolf

Ida Rolph was the mother of Structural Integration: a system of working with the fascia and the alignment of the bones to ease physical pain. She saw connections and patterns of holding in one area causing pain in another. She worked with the nervous system and the fascia to release these tension patterns.

We see the body the same way.

Where you think we need to press, is often not what is going to bring relief. This is especially true for low back pain. If you follow our stories, you’ll see lots of anatomy videos about this concept. Often tight gluteal and rotator muscles cause pain and tension in the low back. Before we relieve the pain in your back, we need to deal with the pain in your butt and from all angles.

These expressions often have some root in the truth. We’ll address the tension patterns from all the angles > physically, mentally, emotionally. There’s room for whatever needs to be expressed, felt, and eventually released.

The difference between our work and most massage modalities is not just the depth…it’s … the …pace.

This slow …pace…makes…space, and gives your nervous system the chance to adapt. It slows down with us and integrates the techniques more effectively. The tense connective tissue that may have felt like heavy armor, weighing you down, effectively “melts”, leaving you feeling a whole lot lighter and freer to just be. 🐢 > 🪶

Our work is deep, our work is therapeutic, our work has lasting results, relaxation is the byproduct. This focused attention fills our schedule up fast.

Lana’s availability is limited but that doesn’t mean that you have to wait for thoroughly relaxing bodywork. Alicia has joined the team and is still a bit of a best kept secret. Get on her schedule before she’s just as busy!

Shoulder issues require specific therapy. Frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injury, nerve impingement, and other shoulder limitations can be addressed with specific myofascial work and trigger points. Need pain relief? We’ve got you covered.
