April 2008 – Health Tips E-Newsletter

As we know, change is constant. No, I am not changing careers again. Instead, I am promoting the Structural Integration 10-Series to my current and future clients who never received it before…

The intention of my practice has always been to address the symptoms that cause pain. Since working in this field of therapeutic massage-bodywork, what I am finding is that I cannot alleviate specific issues entirely in one session or in a couple of sessions. Why? Because with all the constant, daily stresses you put on your body throughout the day, your posture eventually goes out of natural alignment so that you feel stiff, sore, tired, achy, cranky, etc. For example, when I get a client who has numbing in his/her hands, I actually start my work in the shoulder girdle to relieve the pain. Generally, that takes care of it, but later the client comes back with the same issue. Depending on the history of the client, the pelvis could be rotated and/or the feet could be unbalanced in a certain way which is throwing off the shoulder girdle and your hands are getting the brunt of pain.

Soooooo…..if you are suffering from (the same ole) pain in a specific area or all over your body, then now is the time to transform your life so that you can diminish pain from your body. This will require dedication from you, but it will change your life both physically and emotionally. If you receive massage-bodywork on a routine basis (and you keep going to “the doctor” for the same issues) OR you never received massage-bodywork before, then consider making a health investment for yourself and experience Structural Integration (also known as Rolfing) 10-Series with me.

There is so much more I can tell you about Structural Integration (SI), but you don’t have the time to read what I can write about it! However, here some ways to learn more:

1. I am giving a talk about SI at the People’s Food Market Co-op on Monday evening, May 5th, starting at 6:30 PM! RSVP if you want to attend! Visit my website for more details.

2.The Rolf Guild website provides a great one page summary of SI.

3.The Rolf Institute website provides information about Rolfing SI, too.  Also, hover your mouse over Rolfing SI in the menu on the left hand side.

4.If you would like me to speak at your company, for a group, etc., please, contact me to coordinate the details.

If you never experienced this 10-Series, then do it with me! When I did my 10-Series in 1996, it was life-changing to where I was about an inch and half taller and it corrected my walking and running gaits (which prevented me from breaking my right hip!), and I have maintained it even to today! Definitely read more about SI from the above links and how it could affect you. If you have questions or you would like to start your 10-Series now, please, call me soonest to schedule your Session #1 which frees your breath and allows your legs to move more freely from your pelvis. After this session, you will feel so grounded!

I will still continue to use my other specialties of traditional Thai massage, Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), and the Rossiter System in my practice! These modalities are awesome for relaxation (especially Thai) and for getting/keeping the pain out of your body (especially NMT and Rossiter) and maintaining your naturally-aligned posture after receiving the 10-Series (especially Thai, NMT, and Rossiter). In some 10-Series sessions, I will even include these modalities (especially NMT and Rossiter).

I have new studio hours since I am still going to school to keep my massage-bodywork skills fresh! I have appointment availabilities on all days of the week except for Wednesdays and Thursdays. Visit my website for more details.
