Physical Therapy/ body work
The Biomechanical Basics:
The body is an intricately connected ecosystem, and no one part operates independently of the others. From a biomechanical perspective, the goal of physical function is to find the balance between mobility and stability. A body needs to be flexible enough to move and stable (strong) enough to control that motion. Tipping the balance too far in either direction leads to problems.
Our sessions are one-on-one with an emphasis in hands-on, individualized care. I want you to feel heard an honored as a person as we work together to guide you back to health.
The Deeper Dive:
While biomechanical PT training informs my approach to body work, I find it’s vital to acknowledge and respect the deep connection between a person and their body. I believe that a physical body is uniquely paired and perfectly designed for a person to experience whatever they came here to do in this lifetime. The body is innately wise and possesses an incredible capacity to heal that we’re barely beginning to understand. Your body is your perfect partner, lifetime friend, and wise protector.
A huge part of healing is re-discovering the relationship between you and your body. We’ve been taught that the mind is an all-powerful and all-knowing means to dominate the physical form. This approach creates an unbalanced power dynamic that can result in a burned-out, painful, sick body. Learning to tap in to your body and understand how it communicates and how it has been ignored is the first step toward healing the relationship between you and your physical form.
How to go about that learning process is a unique challenge for each person! Sometimes it starts as simply as breathing. Sometimes it’s sitting in a safe and accepting space, finding a moment of calm. Sometimes it’s getting a break from pain and tension that lets you remember how good your body can feel. Sometimes those simple moments of respite can snap us out of mind-dominated chaos and discover an easy moment of partnership with the body. That’s what body work with me has to offer.
