What is Bodywork? The term ‘bodywork’ refers to a global approach to aligning human structure and function within the myofascial web. It aims to bring body segments into a more harmonious relationship with gravity, while facilitating sensory-motor learning so that the client maintains the positive change. Consider the case of a stiff neck: Rather than kneading the tight neck muscles to make the pain (often temporarily) go away, a bodywork approach considers the whole human being to discover what might be causing the symptoms. What is causative is often a lack of support from below, a less than optimal relationship with the forces of gravity/ground force or an old unconscious habit established by staring into a screen.
Karen's sessions are a combination of two modalities:
Hands-on work that moves and rearranges tissues to support the skeleton in gravity.
Movement work to alter the clients perceptions of their actions and themselves.
