Why choose Myosteopractic?

Myosteopractic is a comprehensive system of bodywork. Our bodies have an innate intelligence that works continuously to restore balance i.e. good health. When we are out of balance (experiencing discomfort, injured, stressed, sick, etc), Myosteopractic will use appropriate techniques to deal with the area/s of the body (spine, muscles, ligaments) that are involved in the imbalance.

The system not only addresses symptoms, but also works to shift the underlying cause of the imbalance. This requires the Myosteo-practitioner to track lines of tension in the body, locating the source of tension and the requisite technique to be applied.

Classical methods of bodywork use techniques that are specific to certain body structures (e.g. muscles, myofascia, skeletal) to address an array of symptoms. Faced with a range of options, the lay person may be uncertain as to the best bodywork method to choose. In many cases a person may have to see more than one bodywork practitioner as symptoms can frequently move between various structures of the body.

The particular value of Myosteopractic lies in its combination of several highly functional techniques. Tracking the underlying root of the problem, these techniques are applied to the spine, joints, neural paths, myofascia, organs, etc to achieve greater effectiveness.

Techniques used in Myosteopractic

Each structure of the body requires specific techniques to achieve effective release. Techniques used in Myosteopractic include:

Spinal Release - Based primarily on application of the directed non-force method.

Neural Path Release - A continuation of spinal release, targeting nerve irritation from the spine to the extremities.

Muscle Reactivation - The use of neurolymphatic points to reactivate specific muscles.

Fascial Release - Where it has lost flexibility, myofascia (muscle sheath) is lengthened to achieve postural rebalancing.

Cross Release - Focuses on the release of tendons, ligaments, muscle spasms, organ reflexes and emotion.

Articulation / Mobilization - Movement of joints through pain-free ranges encourages normal movement patterns. Stretching and compressing of stiff joints increases and restores normal range of movement.

Oscillation Technique - Used for relaxation, to prepare the body for release, and as a tracking tool to deepen access.

Tracking - An integrating, improvisational technique where body tension is followed, located and released.

Dynamic engagement

Effective bodywork requires conscious tracking, set-up, and delivery of the appropriate technique. This requires a level of engagement with the body which, when achieved, results in deeper and more resilient shifts. Engagement arises from the centredness and subtle precision of the practitioner. Although difficult to explain in words, this is perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of Myosteopractic.
