MyoFascial Release -MFR works on the inner aspects of the body, thus affecting the outer. This modality works on releasing restrictive Fascia that is causing pain, discomfort, or lack of movement. There are three aspects of MFR work-  Bodywork-the physical aspect of hands on, Rebounding-the rocking motion that rebalances the water in the body, showing where restrictions are  and causing the body and mind to relax, and Unwinding-the release of emotional issues that are stored in the fascia..   Each session starts with a postural evaluation.  

MyoFascial work can help with:

 MFR,( MyoFascial Release) is very different from regular massage.  Since it involves the deep layers of fascia it can take clients to places unattainable by regular massage.   Clients report more freedom of movement and the ability to once again do things that they had not been able to do for a long time. Pattie has studied  under John F. Barns and has reached his expert level.  Although she feels that there always more to learn and so her research and learning continues.

Massage/MyoFascial Release - This session begins with a postural assessment going into MyoFascial Release work and ends with a relaxing massage. This is a nice way to be introduced to MFR for those clients who are unsure of something new.  MFR is very different as it is slower and reaches deeper into the body.

Massage- Where MFR works on the inner aspects of the body, thus affecting the outer, Sw Swedish massage is used for relaxation and stress relief. 

 Lymph Drainage-working with the immune system to help clear edema and facilitate healing.  Other techniques may be used if the body requires it. 

Energy Work - Reiki , Subltle, and Chi Gong Energy Work are three of the names of the type of Energy work used.  Chi is Energy, Gong is Breath. Energy work  rebalances and relaxes the body, the chakras (energy centers) and the auric field which allows the body to heal. Working with the chakras and energy field of the individual to help refresh and rebuild.

Postural Alignment - The Egoscue Method-Receive an in depth postural analysis, photos, functional tests, and exercises to make postural corrections and two myofascial release sessions.   Time is 2 hours in the first session, two one hour MFR sessions, and two additional reevaluation sessions over a 6 month period.  You also receive a print out of exercises to help realign your body.
