BODYWORK & MASSAGE

SQUAMISH BODYWORK &MASSAGE

Bodywork is a dynamic experience of deep tissue release and whole body reconnection. Lifestyle choices, sport specific strength, repetitive training, work postures, and injuries all cement themselves into our tissues over time. Unprocessed stress and emotion often manifests as trapped and persistent pain in the body.

Bodywork takes an active approach to helping you explore where pain lives in your body. This beautiful approach emphasizes deep tissue muscle release in conjunction with a powerful rewiring of your central nervous system. Matt guides you in exploring  movement and dynamic postures simultaneous to muscle and myofascial releases. Throughout the session you are lead through an active treatment process that releases tension in the body, reconnects mind, and releases trapped nervous system energy with powerful precision. Together, we co create a clear, optimized and fresh relationship to your body-mind, rather than just treating pain locally.

Unlike more conventional approaches to treatment, Bodywork asks that you move in session to explore, and understand the messages your body communicates on a deeper level. Bodywork is a profoundly impactful way to reconnect to your whole body-mind system. Reclaim communication and control of your long suffering tissues and move through your world with new ease.
