I am a qualified physical therapist and have studied numerous healing modalities over the past 30 years. I am a firm believer that emotional and mental health is tightly tied to our physical health and to only treat the physical issue is a short term, bandaid fix. I have developed my own system- Myosomatechs to align and heal the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
I have spent 50+ years playing sport, exercising, coaching, teaching mixed movement and energy medicine and have long held an interest in the human body- including all things movement, nutrition, emotional and mental health and healing, energy flow, our connection with the natural world and our higher selves.
My learnings are broad and while I don't practise all, I now practise Myosomatechs. My background:
A Myosomatechs Treatment is a system designed to relax, support and align muscles, ligaments, tendons as well as the emotional and mental energy flow throughout the body. Very often when emotional and mental energy is blocked it will present into the physical body. To allow the physical body to heal and realign, this energy must be brought back into balance.
Myosomatechs is a simple, non-invasive technique designed to relax contracted soft tissues that may be putting uneven strains on various vertebrae in the spine. When muscles are in spasm, joint spaces can be narrowed and nerves trapped in the spasmed fibres. The ligaments that join muscles to bones each have a channel to move in. If these ligaments are not in their correct channel, they become inflamed and swollen, causing pain. By working on specific points, it is possible to relax muscles and using finger pressure to realign ligaments in their correct channels.
As part of this system, the energy lines and centres (aka meridians, chakras, etc) of the body will be assessed and balanced during the session. This is also a non-invasive part of the process that will help re-establish energy flow and integrate the treatment.
STAGE 1
I start with the physical realignment practise. This is whole body balancing based on activating various acupuncture points in a specific way. This can feel a little ticklish for some, depending on how sensitive you are, but it is a very quick movement so is not uncomfortable.
STAGE 2
The second part of this process is the energetic realignment. This is mostly off the body as I work in your energy field to clear and balance. On occasion I may be guide to tap, brush or move an area on the body, but it is predominantly off body here.
What I have experienced in all my work, whether it be for humans or animals, is your energy systems have a lot of information from past, in the womb, childhood until now and at this point I may receive intuitive guidance for you that will relate to your current state. It is entirely up to you whether I share that with you or not. If you are open to hearing, I will speak to you as and if this becomes available to me. Please note, there is not always information here, but if it wants to present it will. Note also that this is not an intuitive reading.
STAGE 3
The final part of the treatment is about regulating the nervous system and turning off the fight, flight, freeze mode. Warning: this can be very relaxing!
Myosomatechs is not a cure all or magic bullet, but it may assist with many things and like anything, as our make up is unique to us, a session will be received in a way that your body will take the treatment up. The number of sessions you require is very dependent on the severity of problem, your body's innate ability to take up treatment and heal and certain other factors. Whether you need further sessions is entirely personal and up to you to determine.
Myosomatechs may possibly assist with some of the following when added to your health routine:
You will need to complete a form when you arrive, so please ensure you are there 10 minutes beforehand so your appointment can start on time. Sessions must run to schedule to keep all bookings on time. If you are late, you will miss some of your session as times cannot be extended.
Please arrive 5-10 minutes prior to your session so your energy can have time settle before your session starts. If you are late, you will miss some of your session as times cannot be extended.
Sessions can be done through clothing, however, if you are wearing slippery material or thick jeans, you may be asked to remove those. You will be covered at all times with a towel.
As each session is intuitively guided, it is not set in stone. Most sessions will be 60-75 minutes.
It is advised that following a Treatment:
Experience has shown that any of these things appear to bring fluid to the area treated and can float the soft tissues out of their normal position.
