The “RELEASE” dimension of the session involves a process of gentle, nonintrusive rhythmic movements, compressions, and traction to facilitate a softening and yielding of muscles and other soft tissues of the body.

Specific areas of holding and restriction are addressed. A deepening sensory awareness and ease in the body results in feelings of “softer, lighter, freer”.

 

During the “RESISTANCE” dimension of the session guided movements are explored to assist you in learning new, easier movement patterns. Stress and tension are significantly reduced with renewed levels of strength, improved posture and ease of movement.

 

After the table work, with a new-found sense of active engagement with your body, you will be given suggestions for gentle rhythmic exploratory movements you can utilize between sessions for deepening the effects of this gentle, profound bodywork.

*Resistance/Release work is an innovative approach developed by Deane Juhan, based in large measure upon the rehabilitative techniques of Dr. Milton Trager. Deane may be best known as the author of Job’s Body: A Handbook for Bodywork – which many consider the essential text on the means, methods, uses, and deeply personal applications of what has come to be known as “bodywork” – a vast, sophisticated series of modalities and techniques that take massage to the level of personal transformation at its greatest expression, profound emotional release and reintegration at its most basic core.
