What we’re looking at with Adaptive Bodywork is where are the places that you haven’t moved for a long time? We all move our bodies. But that doesn’t mean we’re moving the whole body. So, Adaptive Bodywork is designed to do three things that are a little bit different.
One is we look at people beforehand to see those patterns. We watch them walk. We watch them do things and see where are they moving and where are they not moving.
And we’re tending to get our hands not always where they’re painful, and not where they are already moving well, but going into the parts that don’t move well. Parts that don’t move well get stuck in the fascial fabric of the body. It’s not enough just to relax the muscles. It’s not enough to give them a different kind of mindfulness. We actually have to open the tissue that has been closed for many years. Now, it could be closed many years because they don’t use it. It could be closed for many years because they have a surgical scar or an accident [or] some kind of trauma that happened there, or it can be an emotional thing.
Every stressor that we have been exposed to over a lifetime, our stress history, is written into our tissue
With Adaptive Bodywork, we’re looking for how can we get the body fully moving, and can we find those places that are stuck either due to physical trauma or emotional trauma, and get those to be included in the body image, and get those to be included in the body movement? So, that’s number one.
The second thing is this orientation to the fascia. Now, I want to be clear. You can’t touch a body without touching the fascial system
It’s not that the fascia is something new. That fascia has been there all along—and we’ve been working with it all along. Every time you put your hands on a body, you’re working with the fascia. But if you’re thinking muscles or you’re thinking joints, as a chiropractor or physiotherapist might, you could miss where this fascial fabric has been tied down. That becomes a limiting factor in people [when] restoring their movement. So, the second thing is this fascial idea.
The third idea is that we work in a series of sessions so that we work progressively over the whole body, rather than doing the whole body in one session.
