Bodywork – Massage

At Touched by Yoga we approach bodywork and massage from a place of deep listening and communication from both the practitioner and the patient. The role of Bodywork is to influence the tone, communication, and biomechanical tune of the body. As our movement compensations are habitual, they are difficult to notice. We use a multiple methods and techniques to work with the body to encourage holding patterns and hyper-tone to release. When we approach bodywork and massage in this way, we change the perception of the body in attention. We find it essential to work in both a therapeutic and educational way so that the patient becomes aware of why it is that there is hyper – tone or holding, in order to shed light and see long lasting change in condition and ease in movement.

Bodywork is essential in the early days of overcoming chronic injury or to re-educate movement patterns.
