Facilitating healing (What)

Addressing physical pain and disease through bodywork, to correct structural alignment, becomes challenging if underlying residues of emotional trauma aren’t cleared first.

The deep tensions held in the fascial matrix and the spine of the body are often emotional in origin and must be transformed to allow physical release.

There are times when injury or accident is purely physical and is a quick fix but, in my experience, this is only in approximately 10% of cases. In most cases the client becomes the healer, and my experience facilitates and supports the healing process.

The residues of traumatic events experienced in our lifetime, can become locked in our body. Areas of contraction resulting from constriction result from those times we froze or stopped breathing from the shock or paralysing fear we experienced. This is usually the case if we experience and repeat ‘patterns’ in our life. Recurring injuries are also an indicator of residual trauma. Contraction or constriction, anywhere in the body prevents the easeful flow of blood and other fluids within the body. When our body fluids cannot flow through areas, maintenance to those areas ceases to function optimally. Macrophages (the bodies primary ‘clean up’ crew) can’t move freely to remove damaged or unhealthy cells and affected areas begin to atrophy (die back). As hardening of the tissue increases, effected areas grow larger and spread. And so does the pain. The body is telling us something needs to be addressed.
