Hands-on Tensegrity Medicine Treatment
Sessions are centered on postural analysis and physical tensional patterns within a relational framework of the physical body. The organization of the physical structure is the primary focus of the sessions and the body being a representation of potential nervous system states, thought patterns, previous trauma responses and the availability for emotional expression and self regulation.
Biotensegral assessments are initiated at the beginning of sessions and throughout as a way to objectively determine fascial patterns and the areas of greatest restriction within the fascial matrix. Pain patterns may or may not be present with an individual seeking hands-on Tensegrity Medicine treatment and often the greatest fascial restrictions are found in relation to the pain patterns, not necessarily at the site of pain.
Hands on treatment is performed, guided by the information gained during the assessments, with the focus on balancing the global system; including the fascial relationships and its organization determined by the nervous systems capacity for spaciousness and choice.
Dialoguing during sessions often involves curiosity questions in regards to the holding patterns, interoceptive sensing, proprioceptive movement patterns, and the ability for the bodymind to explore alternative choices to restrictive holding patterns.
Integrative movement is performed during and after the treatment as a way for the system to explore alternative postural positioning and movements that allow for new patterns to be explored and potentially implemented into functional movement. Often home ‘exercises’ are given as a way to further integrate these novel choices and to continue to bring awareness of choice to the client within their habits and behaviors. These programs may involve movement, strengthening, meditation, journaling, intuitive dance, or creative pursuits.
Education is provided throughout the session in order to better understand the bodymind connection and how the nervous system state, fascial tension, perceptual thought patterns and the emotional state operate as a unified whole and therefore should be treated as such..
Types of conditions that would be appropriate for a hands-on session: Often people are referred by their health care provider or by word of mouth for acute or chronic pain issues. Others may self-refer due to chronic tensional patterns, nervous system dysregulation, or conditions that don’t seem to resolve through traditional Western medicine. Tensegrity Medicine is also an excellent modality for those who want a more holistic approach to their health and wellness, incorporating the whole person into the treatment plan.
Typical hands-on Tensegrity Medicine sessions last from 75-90 minutes.
Cost: $250 per session
