What to expect from a session at Your Balanced Being
Bodywork
sessions at Your Balanced Being are a unique experience, differing in many ways
from conventional massage therapy. All sessions are uniquely tailored to each
client and each visit. There is no set routine employed as each of us are
different and our body’s are constantly changing. This asymmetrical, non-linear
approach provides the client and practitioner unrestricted access to finding
and creating substantial changes in the way your body looks and feels.
Each
session is tailored to meet your specific needs by blending hands-on bodywork
with movement education and energy work. All sessions are conducted with the
client clothed in comfortable exercise shorts and a T-shirt (T-shirt, tank top
or sports bra for women). This facilitates easy transition from table/hands-on
work to standing, seated and movement work.
Each
session begins with review and discussion of your “health and well-being” form
and your current areas of interest (areas of tension, pain, desired change). We
continue the investigation of your interest area through a visual assessment in
standing to gain an understanding of your alignment pattern and its’ influence
on these specific areas. We may take photographs of this alignment pattern
before and after the session or sessions to use for a strong visual tool and
comparison of the changes achieved. The next step is to use a hands-on
assessment of muscle tone throughout the entire body while you stand or are
laying on the massage table. This will provide more information on areas/regions
of too much or too little muscle tone and their connection to the overall
pattern of alignment or holding in your body. While laying on the massage table
various towels and pillows are used to bolster and support your body in its
natural and comfortable position.
At this
point a combination of hands-on bodywork and movement work are applied to
address the regions of interest found during the investigation, releasing the
holding pattern(s) and allowing for new more balanced patterns to be learned.
All hands-on work is applied utilizing the Aston techniques of non-compressive
three-dimensional touch to accurately assess and release functional and
structural holding. At various points throughout the session you will be asked
to come back to standing for further visual assessment of changes and to “feel”
with a more attuned sense of self the changes occurring. You will be shown ways
to stretch or move differently to support your new pattern, continue self
improvement and decrease the chance that your old pattern or discomfort will
return.
We are
excited to work with you and welcome you to Your Balanced Being!
