Bodywork is a term used to distinguish many different types of hands-on therapies from the overall term "massage." While massage implies a more relaxation focused experience, bodywork suggests a therapeutic focus.
What makes the work you will experience at the Bodywork Institute unique? Our goal it to improve function and reduce soft tissue pain.
Our treatments are custom tailored, guided by individual assessments specific to each client. Experiencing our work, whether it is on the table as a client, or it is as a practitioner providing the session, is like watching a professional dancer or athlete - it appears to be effortless and easy, while the effect is profound and deeply moving...
Our way of working is based on Hendrickson Method® Orthopedic Massage. Most people compare our work to a combination of massage with physical therapy principles and exercise rehabilitation homework.
Our work is based on the scientific principles of physiology, kinesiology and neurology utilizing the simplicity of the neural system to release chronic holding patterns in a person's body. We combine the deeply clinical effects of neurological pattern releases with a mastery of touch. This work is grounded in a thorough study of anatomy and the patterns of dysfunction that result from a vast number of orthopedic conditions. We can reduce the or eliminate the pain associated with these dysfunctional patterns, be they from recent (acute) injury or chronic conditions.
