Myofascial massage is touch with particular attention to the connective tissues

Rolfing, or Structural Integration, is the most well known somatic approach in this regard.  I am also highly influenced by Craniosacral Therapy, which works with the fascia and fluids of the spinal column, and Visceral Manipulation, with works with the connective tissues and rhythms of the organs.  Connective tissue is the fabric of the body—a web—in which the muscles, bones, organs, nerves, and fluids are invested.  The function of the connective tissues is to create biotensegrity—a tensional network that acts as a suspension system for all of ur parts.  It is through biotensegrity that our joints can decompress even as weight is applied.  Fascial research and therapies are quickly becoming central in fields from physical therapy to acupuncture.  I incorporate mysofascial massage to relieve pain and restore biotensegral function so that your body can decompress.
