Myers Bodywork

About Tamar's Work

In your session with Tamar, you may experience several different bodywork modalities:

• Connective Tissue/myofascial work: These are hands on techniques that specifically address the connective tissue in the body or fascia. Fascia is everywhere in the body and can become restricted in ways that effect the entire structure. Working with the fascia can be very gentle or more intense, but always within a client's tolerance.
• Spiraling Massage: The Aston-patterning approach to massage is to respect the three dimensionality of the body. Aston massage is specific, accurate and flowing; not compressive.
• Cranial work and visceral work: Just as a fascial restriction in your shoulder can effect the whole structure so can restrictions in the head or abdominal cavities. These areas can't be ignored if the goal is to find whatever tugs and pulls in the connective tissue matrix may be effecting the whole.
• Movement coaching, ergonomics and fitness consulting: Tamar may teach specific exercises. She may discuss with you how you sit in your car or at your desk and give you suggestions as to how you may make changes in these activities. She may also look at stretches or exercises you are currently doing and give alternative options for achieving the same goals.
• The Aston approach: No matter what technique Tamar is using, her hands are always shaped by the influence of Aston-patterning. That means emphasizing accuracy. Tamar's work involves feeling where the areas are that need to be addressed, superficial or deep, and contacting those places in the most effective way.
