intrinsic BodyWork

THIS IS FOR ANYONE WHO IS TIRED OF THEIR PHYSICAL CHALLENGES HOLDING THEM BACK FROM LIVING THE LIFE THEY WANT TO LIVE.

Structure and function are co-dependent. If you have a poor structure, you will have poor function and this means poor performance, pain and degeneration.

If you are tired of chasing after symptoms and seek to identify the root cause of your symptoms, than this is for you.

• Prevent  injuries and speed up recovery
• Alleviate chronic and acute pain (joint pain, headaches, carpal tunnel, inflammation, autoimmune conditions)
• Enhance body awareness and efficiency
• Enhance athletic performance and endurance
• Resolve postural restrictions and harmful compensational patterns including Scoliosis
• Resolve trauma and stuck stress

The mind factor cannot be ignored. The ease gained in your tissues from bodywork will reflect and allow in ease of mind. The result is a balanced mental state and clearer thinking that enables you to meet life’s challenges with greater skill and resilience  for a more enjoyable life .

First you need to understand how you got here:

As opposed to the wide spectrum of diverse movements human bodies used to execute, today's technology driven society starves us of a great variety of physical tasks. Our resilient adaptable body helps us to perform the repetitive postures and movements of modern day life - at a cost. Repetition puts strain on the same body parts over and over and stress accumulates in our structure and tissues. 

First Symptoms of stiffness, joint aches, or fatigue come and go and we tend to not do anything about it - until we got some full blown problem that forces us to do something.

It's important to understand that no matter what symptoms show up, they are the result of the deterioration of your connective tissue also known as "FASCIA". This 3 -dimensional, fluid-based matrix is the support system and environment for ALL other systems. 

Guess what... If the environment isn't healthy nothing else functions efficiently and you get a myriad of symptoms showing up.

This is where Intrinsic Bodywork comes in:

It helps you to restore greater health and efficiency in your fascia matrix. By addressing the root cause of problems instead of chasing after symptoms you will more quickly return to health and well-being.

I have a Master's Degree in Sports Science and Health as well as over 2500 hours of training in therapeutic modalities that seek to optimize the health and function of the fascia matrix. 

As a professional fascia expert and efficiency-loving German I address the root cause of symptoms directly. To accomplish this I found it most effective to combine

•  Rolfing (Structural Integration)
•  Myofascial Release Cupping 
•  Joint Release Techniques 
• Craniosacral Therapy 

all in one package.

The MELT® Method is an integral part of my unique approach, as it supplements and enhances the positive results of hands-on bodywork. Adding simple this self-treatment system for home practice will propel your return to health and well-being.

After we assess your baseline at the beginning of your session we will develop a treatment plan which will be adapted as necessary to serve you in the best way. Communication is one of the most important factors in this process and any comments, questions and concerns are welcome.

The suction and negative pressure created by myofascial release cupping relaxes rigid soft tissue, breaks up and drains excess fluids and toxins,  loosens adhesions and lifts connective tissue, and brings blood and  lymph flow to stagnant skin and muscles. 

Stationary and Myofascial Release  Cupping are most commonly used on the back, neck, hips and shoulders. But by  adjusting the size of the cups, this therapy can be used almost anywhere on the body including the feet and face.

In my practice as opposed to what you commonly find in others, I utilize an array of cups of different sizes, shapes, materials including magnetic and acupressure point cups. 

Cupping is no new invention but an ancient treatment technique found thousands of years ago. It's efficiency is compelling and the following conditions are treated successfully:

• Low Back and Neck Pain
• Headaches, Migraines, TMJ
• Joint Stiffness and Inflammation including Frozen Shoulder
• Scars and Adhesions
• Neuropathy and Palsies
• Muscular Aches, Pains, Trigger Points, IT Band Syndrome
• Edema
• Difficulty Breathing
• Accelerated Skin Aging and Wrinkles
• Abdominal Pains
• Neural Regeneration

Resolve deeply rooted patterns of pain, inflammation, misalignment, joint restrictions, weakness, fatigue and overall imbalance in your body:

The Biodynamic approach has evolved into a remarkable body therapy that has created a highly skilled way of listening to the body’s inherent health expressions. The therapist typically looks for and encourages the forces of health to set the priorities of the session and to bring about natural adjustments from within the body’s own resources. It is characterized by a strong orientation to the holism of the human experience where both the body’s anatomy and physiology are related to in real time with the subtle forces of life that act through the interface of the body’s fluids. Subtle movements in the body’s fluid and tissue fields are being listened for and the natural movement towards stillness is seen as deeply healing.  The beauty of this therapy is its simplicity. The practitioner takes up a position of being neutral and allows the process of the treatment to unfold. The practitioner is interested in facilitating the body towards intrinsic reorganizations across the body’s tissues, its fluid matrix and its energetic and emotional layers, so that there is a holistic movement towards greater health. The therapy creates a safe space for traumatic experiences to emerge and resolve smoothly without being overwhelming or re-stimulating.
