After a time, that movement pattern might become a part of your body's way of moving, even though the injury had been healed long ago. As described in the discussion of connective tissue, this tension is then reflected through the body and further influences our movement patterns. As life goes on and aging continues, more and more of these patterns become embedded in our connective tissue simply because we don't move freely. In our misalignment, gravity becomes the enemy, compounding and magnifying any stress that is there. As the body accumulates these patterns, it begins to shorten and shrink.
People get shorter and stiffer.
This is what people identify as aging. We recognize the existence of a greater field in which we live, interact and express. Our purpose is to enhance the individual's awareness of and relationship to that field. Within the context of a healing relationship, we work with structure, psyche, and movement to improve function and well-being. Our process follows an ordered sequence organizing the body along the line of gravity, through guided touch and education, introducing change towards a more functional pattern.
