How I can help you:
An initial visit will generally consist of body assessment, adding postural awareness, & arranging an ideal outcome (pain relief, enhanced range of motion, better breathing, etc.) for each individual I perform bodywork upon.
I strive to learn daily. This is how i help best; when I receive specific “muscle missions”/client centered approach. I then adopt personal experience and cross-reference that w/ past client/patient “body data”.
AiM: ~Fascia Freedom~
“The issue in the Tissue” - Certified HeaLth Nut

Common ExampLe: Left shoulder pain. (Punching, pulling, holding, heaving) most injuries are repetitive stress related, and can be simplified @ the source. Core instability is usually the chief aiM.
Initially, I will seek the origin of the tension/discomfort, by tracing the tissue to the joint. This is to provide a clear path to open and close (flex/extend, stretch/shorten, stimulate/sleep) the affected areas.
——
Pain is felt when nociCeptors(pain detectors) are “trapped” somewhere along the ‘body network’. Entrapment leads to impingement which leads to weakness & eventually atrophy.
By locating the points of origin, I aiM to align the “fascia frame” & mobiLize the tissue. Based upon personal experience, and working w/ countless bodies, w/ careful attention towards athletes, I create a schema(visual aid) in my mind & begin “simulating the sequences” that might cause pain in order to ascertain how to “reaD & release” the “repetitive” stress responses that are stuck in the motor Skill pathways of the cLient.

From here, I do pressure test the body, in manageable pockets. For example, for shoulder pain, rather than flex the entire arm, I stimulate the radiobrachialis by simulating “thumb wrestling” to circulate the thumb joint, which relieves tension on the epicondyles(elbow pointers) and measure the wrist mobility.
——
If it is wrist pain, I do the opposite, and stabilize the hands and finger joints, circulating from the acromion Process and “pumping pressure” @ the AC joint, to stir the brachiaL pLexus. Then, adding tactical touches to the eLbow joints, I gauge where the impingement is occuring(most usually @ the pisiform(karate chop bone) which is entrapping the uLna nerve near the tricep. The reason for pain is a lack of circulating fLow (blood, oxygen, chi/electric impulses)). The “cold nerves” are very sensitive, and it is because the tissue is “sleeping awkward” and voila itself up, in a protective state, to best preserve functionaL energy to the unit(limb, organelle, side of body). More on this in the future.
——
By tracing the oRigin, and aiding the iMpact, my goaL is to alleviate the anxiety. For athletes, this would indicate, being able to consciously stabilize the area and continue coordinated are breathing. For people who enjoy not being a glutton for pain, it means finding a resting state that they can self govern, and manage the motion w/ coordinated circulation to “calm the checkpoints” which in the previous example, would be the thumb, wrist, elbow, shoulder.

Ultimately, the theory behind my ideas are that the body is able to do its job most effectively, when the distress becomes eustress. The signals of strength outweigh the signs of weakness, and the body “feeLs” better, because it can focus on balance. (Systemic Serenity = healthy hypoThaLamus)
