The connective tissue is a fine, fluid-filled network of tissue that envelops everything in our body, bones, muscles, nerves, etc. The connective tissue plays a central role in our bodily functions and in how we feel. Therefore, connective tissue therapy is e.
The connective tissue contains a dense network of nerves, and by working with this I cooperate with your nervous system. Connective tissue is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which we cannot control ourselves. Therefore, connective tissue massage also affects the autonomic nervous system and can help regulate it.
One of the advantages of working with the connective tissue instead of the muscles is that the pain can often come from the connective tissue and not from the muscles themselves. I take a holistic approach to the fascia therapy, which means that I look at your whole body and mind as a unit.
This approach is not just about treating symptoms, but about understanding the underlying causes of your problems. Both what you tell me and what your body shows and feels play an important role in the treatment. My aim is to help your body regain its natural balance by supporting the self-healing processes. When I work on the connective tissue, I use a gentle and soft technique to contact the tissue. By applying light pressure to the outer layer of the connective tissue, I signal to the body that it is safe to relax.
This form of relaxation is not only immediate but also long lasting, as it creates a reprogramming of the nervous system that helps prevent the tension from returning.
