Connective Tissue Therapy
The connective tissue within our bodies confirms that no part of the body is separate from any other.
The primary role of connective tissue is to protect and support the body’s supple, pain free and expansive natural movement. When inner tension is experienced as a result of physical, mental and/or emotional stress the connective tissue hardens and compresses affected areas, often producing rigidity, stiffness upon waking, general limitation of full range of movement and pain. Therefore connective tissue greatly influences fluidity of movement, posture, whether we feel confident to move a particular area of the body and our general sense of well-being and vitality.
Connective tissue flows throughout the mechanics of our bodily systems and from it we are provided structure, support and connection from within our organs through to our muscles, tendons, joints, limbs and ultimately our flow of movement, this includes the way in which we hold ourselves and move our bodies. Its soft tissue network also supports vitality, ease of movement and is essential for inter-connectedness and communication between all structural areas of the body including communication between our precious organs and bodily systems.
The quality of our movement is everything and central to why and how we relate to ourselves, other and life.
Connective Tissue Therapy supports the release of inner tension while re-configuring the body’s natural homeostatic inner pulse of universal harmony. To support a client with maintaining an expansive spacious sense of movement is grandly beneficial for overall well-being while allowing the client the most efficient and complete healing of soft tissue, bone repair and scar healing post-operatively. Experienced practitioners advocate the benefits of connective tissue therapy to maintain free flowing movement, flexibility of limbs and the integrity of postural structure.
