We practice a form of structural massage called Neurosomatic Therapy. This type of clinical massage, founded by Paul St. John, begins with a very detailed postural analysis. We measure boney landmarks to create a map of how your body may be compensating. These compensations are a departure from the “blueprint” of how our posture should be as human beings.
There could be numerous reasons why the body compensates. Traumas, accidents, dental procedures, intestinal health, emotional health, and structural anomalies are all pieces to the puzzle of your body’s postural asymmetries. An important factor that is often overlooked is a structural leg length inequality. If one leg is even a few millimeters shorter than the other, it can set up a chain of compensations that could create pain anywhere in the body. Just like a building must have a strong foundation, so must our bodies.
Our goal is to create symmetry, and balance in your body’s posture in all three anatomical planes. Accomplishing this will prevent wear and tear of the joints, cartilage, and discs. It will also keep the soft tissue and myofascial system free from painful trigger points and general aches that cause discomfort. Creating a neutral position in the body will keep you physiologically more efficient and allow everything to function better.
