Sometimes your movement practices may be hindered by muscular or fascial limitations, or by an inability to fully conceptualize a desired improvement. At other times, you may simply be fatigued and overworked and need some nurturing.
Bodywork is a perfect complement to the movement training we offer. Because we know you through your movement practice, we are able to offer personalized, constructive bodywork that is synergistic with your ‘Moving Body’ training.
Bodywork is also available to the public.
Therapeutic Massage
Our massage treatments draw on an array of manual techniques, including:
- deep tissue massage
- Swedish massage
- shiatsu
- trigger point therapy
- cranio-sacral therapy
- muscular therapy
We offer general tonic massage as well as clinical massage therapy for specific complaints.
If you have any questions about the different types of massage available at The Moving Body, please feel free to give us a call.
Functional Integration – ‘Teaching by Handling’
Functional Integration (FI) lessons are private and are the “hands-on” component of the Feldenkrais Method.
Using precise movements, gentle manipulation and touch, your teacher will use her hands to guide your movements as you lie fully clothed on a padded table, or as you sit or stand. As the lessons progress, you’ll gradually learn to eliminate excess strain and effort and begin to move more easily and freely.
Functional Integration lessons will be offered at The Moving Body starting in 2009. Please check our Special Events schedule or if you’d like to participate or want more info. In the meantime, we will be happy to refer you to local practitioners.
Pilates is a natural pain killer for my back. My body changed, and I did not expect it.
