Soft Tissue Therapy takes you from systemic somatic manual work to neuromuscular/proprioceptive reprogramming to insure that the fix sticks! We prioritze the time to educate you about your body and how to keep it feeling its best without needing life-long treatment.

The body’s priority is protection against threats, both real and percieved. This makes tension and pain in the body markers of threat analysis from the brain. Thus when it comes to manual work (body work focused on releasing systemic tension and breaking up physical adhesions), the best approach is the somatic approach.

By using various somatic stimulators, analgesia (essentially neurological distraction) is created. Pulling the brain’s attention away from the “threat” it is focused on. This allows the body to release the systemic tension, making the break up of physical adhesions painless and easy.

Habits and patterns of the body are circuits created within the brain to conserve energy. Every time a person needs to walk across the room or pick an object up, the brain should not have to run through every command separately, so it creates essentially a hyperlink for the action.

The problem is that these circuits contain dominances and imbalances within the biomechanical setup of the body. The reprogramming of these circuits through neuromuscular/proprioceptive reprogramming allow for the creation of healthy biomechanics within these circuits.

Of course, you’ll make progress every session and discomfort will dissipate quickly. But as for the long-term neuromuscular/propioceptive reprogramming, that should take a while right? Wrong! Because we are coorperating with the brain and the nervous system, the process is much quicker. For most people, they are feeling their best and confident to maintain their body after 2-4 months of sessions!
