Corrective Strategy

After your initial postural assessment, the next step is to address your imbalances. At its most basic, there are places in the body that are either too tight or too weak. A simple scenario would be if one shoulder were lower than the other. The muscle above that shoulder may we weak, or the muscle below may be tight. Perhaps both. The strategy would be to strengthen above, and stretch below.

Freeing the connective tissue is the first step to freeing the joints, allowing clients to learn new movement patterns which create a feeling of ease. These new movement patterns may be learned through a variety of strengthening and stretching techniques including Pilates, yoga, and other somatic disciplines. Specific movements are learned and practiced in detail to ensure lasting affect. The healing process can be intense in the moment, but it’s always liberating.
