Stretch for knee issues and calf pain.
|
The connective tissue work offered at Elevation Bodywork is effective and can feel like a workout . Yes, you feel relieved afterwards - your movements smoother and with a bit more pep! But it's work - and I personally LOVE it.
The workout involves anchoring connective tissue in specific areas while you move through guided stretches. It breaks up adhesions while erasing the painful symptoms that tag along. Think huge pin and stretch. Together, we will stretch away your pain - and generally, the harder you work, the better you feel later! The result:
a restoration of space and mobility while effectively removing pain. |
Most clients see results in three sessions or less. That said, the longer a pain has been present in the body, the longer it can take to get rid of as the body can only adjust to so much change at one time. This work can also be used as a maintenance or spot treatment technique for those who find themselves in a consistent state of tension.
Connective Tissue Release is a natural solution to regain mobility, remove pain and return to the life you love - pain free.
What is Fascia
water droplets on
magnified fascial strains
Fascia is a band or sheet of connective tissue fibers beneath the skin and throughout the body. It functions to attach, stabilize, enclose and separate every muscle, bone and organ in our body.
Fascia is flexible yet tensile - think plastic grocery bag. Without fascia we would be a pile of anatomical structures. Hydration is important as fascia is covered in water droplets. As it dries it loses the ability to slide between layers of tissue and we lose the ability to move smoothly.
Changes can be drastic although happen very slowly with fascia - other techniques will push the tissue to move at a pace that's too quick and the tissue with recoil and fight back. These movements are slow and deliberate to let the tissue change on it's own to create spacial change that lasts.

What Makes this work Different
Connective Tissue Release (CTR) stretches the body from the inside out - while other bodyworks work from the outside in. It's a quick, effective and most importantly non-invasive way to get the results you want.
Developed through the concept of Rolfing - CTR utilizes weight (with the foot) for greater traction and active participation for maximum results. We pin the tissue where we aim to stretch, lock and engage the rest of the body, move in deliberate ways and let the fascia stretch itself, in it's own time.

Why the LockThe Locking concept engages the other 90% of connective tissue that is not being focused on. This creates a tensile framework for the specific stretch to occur within. It makes the local work global and yields better results that last longer.
