What is Positional Release Massage?
Stimulating the body’s natural ability to restore balance!
Positional Release Massage is an advanced massage therapy that reduces pain by placing the body into positions of comfort, stimulating the body’s naural ability to restore balance. The notion that certain body positions can benefit health goes back thousands of years, (from yoga to the martial arts). This work is known generically as Positional Release or as the “fold and hold” technique.” In many cases the position created is the original position of injury. Positional Release Massage is a variation that has been developed for use by Massage professionals.
Positional Release Massage works with the sensors within our muscles that cause most of our painful symptoms. Tender points develop when the sensors of the proprioceptive reflex system in the body become dysfunctional. These sensors monitor our physical structure at all times including our sense of movement and posture. The reflex arcs, which are created by this information, help coordinate all of our movements, muscle tone, and maintain our posture and form physical habits.
The most comfortable position is always the best position. Within 10 to 90 seconds the body begins to release spasm, restore normal muscle tone, increase circulation, remove pressure on nerves, and allow bones and joints to move freely. All the energy and attention that was used to deal with pain is now available to the body’s healing process.
Postitional Release Massage works with pain from a holistic perspective. Holistic healing is a philosophical approach to health care that evaluates and treats the patient as a complex and integrated being. Rather than search for a single reason for pain we look at the whole person. We look at the origins and history of a problem; its relationship with other pains in the body; and multiple factors that may be directly or indirectly involved. Each session is crafted to the unique needs of the client.

What is Massage Therapy?
Massage is one of the oldest healing arts: Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document its use; the
ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and Hippocrates wrote papers
recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.
Today, the benefits of massage are varied and far-reaching. As an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage therapy has also
proven beneficial for many chronic conditions, including low back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high
blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression, infertility, smoking cessation, depression, and more. And, as many
millions will attest, massage also helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living that can lead
to disease and illness.
