The hot towel and guided mediation each client receives at the end of their session has several benefits besides being a relaxing re-entry into their world.  They are applied to neck, shoulders, and to the forehead to allow the bodywork just provided the opportunity to sink into the body in perhaps a deeper level.  The guided mediation  is spontaneous and is specific to each client, ending in a Hawaiian chant taken from Huna folklore.

This condition is becoming more common place as the use of our electronic devices increase. 

The treatment of the tense muscles of the jaw referred to as the Mandible are often impacted by the fatigue of the neck and strain created by the forward jetting of the chin and curvature of the shoulders. I address these often painful areas with a combination of modalities that sooth and calm the area as well as release and relax the stressed facial muscles which surround them.

As you can see in the image above the shoulder is a muscular masterpiece. Its mobility is its genius and yet it can be injured easily by over extension, joint inflammation, and impact injuries. It must be respected for its ability to function while in trauma. My shoulder work has been very successful in that I begin with testing its resilience and muscular response to testing, it's present capability, then work toward range of motion.

There is nothing more common that a Pain in the Neck. Sleeping on a hard or lumpy pillow, to a whiplash from an impact injury. We all get them and many of us live our entire lives with some level of discomfort because of them. The studies are showing that with increased electrical device, computer, and long distance driving and even air travel can cause these delicate yet diverse muscles and nerves to become irritated and "Locked or Blocked Up". 

My approach to this area is to Do No Harm,.Your will never be surprised with fast action, twisting or snapping. My work addresses the cervical muscular and connective tissue that is often in trauma before I address the area of concern. The result is very calming and many clients have remarked that my work is the most effective they have ever experienced.
