Is Fascial Unwinding Right For Me or My Child?  Do you or your child experience spontaneous movements like figitting,  shaking, or muscle tightening when you are at rest? Are you tired of lifting weights to get strong or stretching to get flexible? Are you interested in working with your body in more intuitive ways that helps you enhance recovery and self-knowledge of oneself?  You may love our fascial unwinding programs. 

​

What is Fascial Unwinding:  Fascial Unwinding is a general term used to describe the facilitation or allowance of unconscious involuntary movements by an individual. The movements experienced during fascial unwinding are spontaneous, similar to yawning, and feel as though they are occurring from outside a persons experience. These movement experiences can also be facilitated by a therapist passively. Spontaneous movements often can reveal patterns of muscular tension, history of trauma, or other protection strategies and behaviors the body may have had to experience in the past. These movements are often reported to feel "intuitive" or even mystical but also effortless followed by  muscular softening and rich new multi-sensory surprises.

​

How Do We Help Your Body To Start Unwinding? Techniques that we use to help individuals "unwind" and begin interacting with their body's natural spontaneous movement process can be hands-on as well as hands-off techniques.  This way, you can choose what works best for you. This process requires sensory input from outside the body to set the body into an unwinding experience. Once this happens, your body through complex feedback loops involving both Fascia and Nervous system are supported by us to keep keep this going.

 

With our hands on techniques, we will help you to experience these spontaneous movements through helping your body find movements of ease with subtle resistance and input brought into your nervous system. As we listen to your fascia, we respond to your body by directly supporting your unconscious movement patterns so that you can more efficiently work with your body's postural tone and engage more intuitively with unconscious movements directly. 

 

With our hands-off approach, we provide cues and guidance strategies to help you work and respond with your fascia and nervous system in the moment. Through the use of gravity, feedback, and body responses, we will help you create greater support and ease through your movement practice.
