Ever wonder what is going on under your skin? Your entire body is made up of connective tissue. This web-like substance runs from one “part” of your body to the next with virtually no interruption. It’s one really long piece. Between all these fibers is a liquid ground substance which in healthy bodies is fluid and flows without restriction.
But if you’ve got some sort of kink in the web, then it’s going to pull on the surrounding tissues, which in turn will start a chain like reaction and pull at points further away along that web. This is why that neck pain coincidentally seemed to start the same time you fell on your butt. It’s all connected.

If you’ve tried meds, oils, massage, acupuncture, chiro, etc., and you’ve only had TEMPORARY relief then you are a PERFECT candidate for the John F Barnes Approach to Myofascial Release.

Myofascial Release or MFR refers to the manual massage technique for stretching the fascia and releasing bonds between fascia, integument, and muscles with the goal of eliminating pain, increasing range of motion  and equilibrioception (sense of balance). This subtle technique usually involves applying shear compression or tension in various directions, or by skin rolling, for several minutes at a time allowing the tissue to unwind and relax into its natural state of being at a pace that is comfortable. Some discomfort may be felt but because the body intuitively knows what it needs you will never be hurt by it. All you need to do is feel what your body is saying and let go into it.
 

Your first session with Christie will most likely be scheduled with an extra 15 minutes to review your intake form and briefly talk about your reason for seeking bodywork and your desired outcome.
