This is much like a house built on a crooked foundation – our bodies, like the crooked house, will eventually start to express imbalances in different, often painful ways. The problems begin with muscle imbalance. When the body is chronically out of alignment, we develop problems. The most common cause of physical and muscular pain is poor posture. The thing that makes IPT so powerful is that it addresses the root cause of pain. It also helps to restore range of motion, increase flexibility and strength, improve circulation to increase oxygen to the tissues, and to normalize myofascial tension. IPT can eliminate pain associated with many common conditions such as: headaches, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck and shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, knee pain, TMJ, tennis and golfer’s elbow, and more. Research has shown this work to help manage back pain, assist the elderly with balance, to ease asthma symptoms and to help Parkinson’s patients manage tasks more easily. The end result is the freeing of one’s self to live with ease and confidence. We can build awareness of the dis-ease these habits impose – an awareness accessed by quieting the mind and finding a better way to use our bodies. A typical session will direct one toward the natural balance within oneself, that has been masked by habits coming from life’s stresses, self-driven pressure, or injury. In our journey toward Mind-Body Integration, we will call upon concepts from dance and movement along with Pilates, and the Alexander Technique. The good news is that you have the ability to rebalance yourself toward a more comfortable you. Our efforts at good posture can produce more tension than poise and may interfere with any natural, fluid quality of movement. Work-related imbalances such as using a computer, playing an instrument, even driving and yard work can fatigue and contort us. Life is filled with stressors that throw us off balance.
