STRUCTURAL BODYWORK IN RENO

Structural Bodywork is a system of connective tissue and fascial manipulation and movement education for you and your body.

The goals are:
-to encourage the standing body out from existing patterns (improve posture)
-to release fascial adhesions (sticky or stuck tissue) to improve glide between the connective tissue layers which results in your body moving better
-to improve spatial perception for accurate movement and interoceptive knowledge (body awareness and a deeper understanding of self) for healthy autonomic self-regulation

Structural Bodywork assists in stepping out from the sleeve of your current holding patterns and stepping into a healthier you!
