How does it work?
Hands-on tissue manipulation, re-educating the body about injury and trauma; breaking unconscious 'holding' patterns; posture and movement education; guided dialogue integrating the mind into the healing; empowering you to facilitate self-healing!
The three main components of Hellerwork are:
- Deep tissue bodywork. The work is deep, yet gentle—a "good hurt." A certified Hellerwork practitioner is trained to spot structural imbalances in the body. A thorough understanding of myofascial (muscles and fascia) anatomy enables the practitioner to determine the origin of the imbalance and therefore where to focus the bodywork.
- Movement re-education. Hellerwork shows what alignment with gravity (good posture) feels like, and offers movement and postural awareness tools that can be used during daily activities. For instance, letting your arms hang like pendulums, so that your hands are heavy and the shoulders are free, allows your shoulders to relax.
- Dialogue: Verbal discussion about attitudes and emotions goes on throughout a session, to bring up any emotional "holding." Postural or emotional holding patterns create shortness in the fascia. Once these patterns become conscious, the client can make a choice to let go, to be at ease and in balance.
Over time the client adopts a new, more fluid, way of being. Hellerwork Structural Integration is an active learning process that brings about lifelong change.
