Your body is interconnected. Your manual therapy can be, too.

Practitioners trained by Upledger Institute and Barral Institute learn to look beyond the place where you feel tension or discomfort. Their hands-on training helps them explore how different areas of the body are moving, where tissues may be restricted, and how those restrictions relate to the body as a whole.

The approach is gentle, individualized, and guided by the body's response. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all treatment, these practitioners are trained to listen with their hands, follow patterns of tension and restriction, and work with the relationships among the body's many interconnected tissues and systems.

  • Listening to the body rather than applying the same technique to everyone.
  • Looking beyond the obvious area to explore patterns of tension and restriction that may involve other regions of the body.
  • Using a whole-body approach that considers the relationships among fascia, muscles, joints, nerves, organs, and surrounding tissues.
  • Working gently and specifically, using the amount of pressure appropriate for the tissue and the individual.
  • Following the body's response, allowing treatment to be guided by what the practitioner feels and how the tissues respond during the session.
  • Supporting mobility and adaptability by addressing restrictions that may affect how tissues move in relation to one another.
  • Individualizing every session rather than relying on a predetermined protocol.
