Problematic patterns in the body ‘play out’ in its tensegrity-organized forces. Chronic patterns involve the entire body while also having local phenomena. While every body is organized uniquely, there are commonalities to these forces & patterns on the principles of a tensegrity-based structure. In this class commonalities are discussed, and technique principles are presented for organizing effective work quickly and efficiently, working deeply into tissues without heavy pressure. 

Please wear comfortable clothing and a sheet set with face cradle cover and blanket everyday to class.

Inefficient healing of scar tissue after surgery or injury can seriously affect quality of life and increase health costs. The ability to influence the scar tissue matrix' organization is key to achieving maximum range of motion and muscle function. This class will provide participants with an overview of Scar Tissue massage techniques and practices. Lectures will focus on the connective tissue processes of wound healing, both post-surgery and post-injury, including the energy dynamics of scar tissue remodeling. The hands-on portion will consist of demonstrations of various scar tissue massage techniques performed on a variety of scar tissue conditions and restrictions. The demonstrations are followed by participants' active massage work on scar tissue situations, with instructor assistance and guidance. Please wear comfortable clothing and a sheet set with face cradle cover and blanket everyday to class.
