We begin with a discussion of your medical history and a postural assessment.  This lets us know the patterns which currently exist within your body and where to focalize treatment for the greatest results.
If you are trying to address pain in your body, then the treatment will be focused on the areas which are primarily involved in causing your pain. 

Deep relaxation is essential for the body to heal.  In our practice, relaxation is a key to accessing deeper layers of the body, rather than an end in itself

That depends on many factors, such as:  What are your goals?do you just want to be able to put on your shirt without pain? Or do you want to fine tune your body for peak athletic performance?  It also depends on factors such as diet, overall health and well-being,  stress level, emotional state, age, etc.  Ultimately it is up to you- our aim is to assist you in your healing process and self-empowerment, not to create a feeling of dependency.
