Bodywork
NeuroKinetic Therapy® & Brain Body Balance
Massage vs Bodywork. Which do I choose?
In a nutshell, massage is a form of bodywork but bodywork is more than massage. If you are seeking general well-being, relaxation or have specific muscular concerns, massage is a great option. For those looking to address specific issues such as acute or chronic pain, inhibited movement, repetitive strain issues, bad postural habits and patterns, we highly recommend a bodywork session.
BODYWORK
Two modalities are used, NeuroKinetic Therapy® (NKT) & Brain Body Balance (B³). First we identify muscle imbalances and faulty movement patterns through unique manual muscle testing protocols. Once the compensation patterns are found, chronically tight muscles are then released and inhibited muscles are strengthened to restore proper movement patterns. For more info refer to FAQ below.

FAQs

Bodywork can help alleviate pain, release tension and discomfort from many different causes, including trauma, back pain, repetitive motion injury and aging. It can be valuable for people experiencing high levels of stress, for those using their bodies in their professions, especially if your job requires repetitive movement or for those sitting for long periods of time and struggle with issues like tech neck.

NeuroKinetic Therapy® is an application of Motor Control Theory, neuroscience and functional anatomy (neurobiomechanics) that helps the therapist to unravel the cause of faulty movement patterns in the brain’s Motor Control Centre. NKT® identifies muscle imbalances through unique protocols to determine what muscles are inhibited and what muscles are compensating for them. This allows for the use of specific treatment and corrective exercise techniques to restore proper movement patterns and reprogram the brain’s motor control center.

B³ is a form Neuromuscular therapy. It is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle pressure and a pulse-like signal into restricted fascia. In short fascia is a clingfilm-like substance that wraps around all our muscles and organs, offering support and reducing friction during everyday movement. Myofascial release aims to give this clingfilm a workout, stretching and smoothing it so your body works at its optimum level. B³ aims to re-set brain-to-body feedback which aids the body in its healing process.

No in general it should not feel painful. If you are in pain, speak up and let your therapist know.

You will remain fully clothed throughout the session. Loose and comfortable is best, but it doesn’t matter.
-
It depends on what is going on in your body but generally we recommend at least three sessions a couple of days or a week apart and regular tune-ups as you need them. We will discuss this in more detail in person.
