“Without awareness, there is no choice.”

- John F. Barnes

The cornerstone of my treatments is Myofascial Release.  This type of manual therapy focuses on the connective tissue called fascia.  Fascia surrounds and infuses each and every structure of the body down to the cellular level.  As the fascia has tightened down and hardened in areas it can cause pain, decreased flexibility, numbness, tingling and many other symptoms.  Fascial restrictions may be caused by a prior injury, trauma or surgery that created tightness, weakness or faulty movement patterns.   Myofascial Release softens and lengthens fascial restrictions, which allows the tissues of the body increased flexibility, pliability and decreased pain.  Pilates exercises then can be used to increase your strength and flexibility.
