Structural & Visceral Dynamics
Structural Dynamics focuses on the body's liquid crystal matrix, known as the fascia or connective tissue. This connective tissue not only holds the body together but also serves as a communication, movement, projection and protection network. Chronic emotional or physical stress can cause the fascia to shorten and compromise its function, leading to negative impacts on health, flexibility, adaptability, movement and posture. When working with Structural Dynamics, you can gain a deeper understanding of your body and the ways in which fascia can impact overall health. Fascia acts like a fiber-optic-like network for communication, movement, and protection. And, it can shorten ("lock short") when under stress. Locked short fascia can hold onto memories, emotions or consciousness that compromises fitness and wellness.
Visceral Dynamics works with internal organs that have been affected by physical and emotional trauma, illness, injuries and surgeries. Such experiences may cause organs to become weak, partially immobilized and unable to do their best jobs. When an organ is not functioning well the entire body suffers. Other organs, systems and meridians pick up the slack which then drains vital energy. This modality explores how organs affect the nervous system, as well as the memories and consciousness associated with the organs. I use focus, intention and subtle energy to gently release restrictions in organs and improve their function. You become more aware of organ mobility and motility as I lead you through simple breath work.
When applying Structural Dynamics I use focus, intention, and subtle energy to address restrictions in the fascia that supports the musculoskeletal system. With Visceral Dynamics, I apply similar focus, intention and subtle energy to improve the mobility and motility of organs. With simple breath work, you can encourage the release of tension in the connective tissue that supports structure as well as internal organs. All you have to do is breathe and focus while I guide you through the process.
Common Structural and Visceral Dynamics Q&A
Q: What is Structural Dynamics and how does it benefit one's health?
A: Structural Dynamics is a wholistic therapy that uses movement and touch to balance the body’s structure, improve posture and increase range of motion. It can help alleviate pain, increase mobility and improve overall physical and emotional well-being.
Q: How does Structural Dynamics differ from other forms of physical therapy?
A: Structural Dynamics takes a wholistic approach, considering the body as a whole system, rather than focusing solely on isolated areas of pain or discomfort. This allows for a more complete and integrated approach to healing.
Q: What are some common issues that Structural Dynamics can help alleviate?
A: Structural Dynamics can help address a variety of physical issues, including back pain, neck pain, joint pain, headaches, and more. It can also improve posture, increase mobility and balance, and reduce stress and tension in the body.
Q: Is Structural Dynamics suitable for all ages and fitness levels?
A: Yes, Structural Dynamics can be customized to suit the needs and abilities of individuals of all ages and fitness levels. It is a safe and gentle therapy that can be adapted to meet the needs of each individual.
Q: What is Visceral Dynamics and how does it benefit one's health? A: Visceral Dynamics is a subtle energy modality that uses gentle, non-invasive techniques adjust the internal organs to improve their mobility and function.
Q: How does Visceral Dynamics work?A: Visceral Dynamics works by manipulating the connective tissue that surrounds and supports the organs, as well as the nerves and blood vessels that supply them. By releasing restrictions and improving mobility, Visceral Dynamics can improve organ function and overall health.
Q: What conditions can Visceral Dynamics help with?
A: Visceral Dynamics can help with a range of conditions, including digestive issues, pelvic pain, menstrual disorders, breathing difficulties and chronic pain.
