Question 1

What can I expect?

Accepted Answer

The session begins with a detailed discussion about your complaint, relevant health history and your goals.  When applicable, I will assess for your posture for imbalances in your pelvis, ankles, knees, shoulders.  We also work to repattern your muscles towards optimizing your posture when sitting, standing and moving.  The techniques you will learn will strengthen your intrinsic core muscles and when practiced will naturally be integrated into your daily life and repattern your body.  A portion of the session includes therapeutic massage, cupping, gua-sha, trigger point techniques stretching, etc.  At times, a session is comprised of only massage and bodywork.

Question 2

How many sessions do I need?

Generally, you can expect 4-6 sessions to resolve one specific complaint provided you keep up with doing your exercises.
