A system of somatic education and structural bodywork which is based on the inseparability of body, mind & spirit, making the connection between movement, body alignment and personal awareness. During sessions, the structural balance of the body is realized through the systematic release of muscle and connective tissue to restore the body's optimal natural balance, posture and flexibility. Myofascial release, movement awareness and dialogue are the essence of the sessions enabling one to move more fluidly, and have increased stamina, strength and energy.
Founded in the 1970's by Joseph Heller, the major components comprising Hellerwork include: deep-tissue bodywork affecting the nervous and muscular systems; movement re-education training to learn how to experience the full manifestation of spirit; and video feedback to view how we accomplish simple acts of daily life. Treatments are offered in an 11-session series, with each treatment consisting of one hour bodywork and 30 minutes movement.
