General Info
In my Boulder Colorado Office I frequently use trigger point therapy (medical massage) while putting the muscle of the client in a passive positional release (contracted position). This both desensitizes the muscle as well as softening it to allow me to work deeper. During each massage I notice where there is a lack of mobility forcing the client to move in a way that is less efficient. While discerning the immediate cause I am paying close attention to the clients nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic responses) because stress and cortisol levels can have a big impact on stiff muscles. I use three-dimensionality (working from both sides of the body at the same time) to allow the client to feel held during the experience. If there is numbness or pain I look for nerve impediments at key areas of the body thereby unlocking more movement and sensation.
