The Holistic Massage Approach…
When I work with clients, I don’t like to focus on only one muscle to relieve pain. I prefer to look at the person as a whole being. As with the tree below, if the leaves don’t look healthy, one has to look to the soil, the environment, or any cause that might contribute to disease or impairment. For the tree’s health, one must examine the trunk and the branches as well to determine how best to treat the whole organism. Similarly with the human body, when groups of muscles are sore, weak or in pain, that is a signal that a whole body approach to healing is needed for longterm health. The pain may be relieved after a session, but would most likely show up again without a holistic understanding and treatment of the dysfunction.
Listening to the body and following its cues is very helping in resolving many health issues. The body’s wisdom is constantly revealing what needs to happen in order to heal most efficiently. If followed and treated with skill, many pain conditions can improve dramatically. When you are looking for real pain relief, allow yourself at least a few sessions to correct misalignment and imbalances that have been contributed to a pain pattern. It takes time to disorganize and create habitual disorder and it takes time to self-correct.
