In nearly every culture throughout history various forms of massage have been used to foster healing on multiple levels. Beginning with the physical form, massage offers relief from many different manifestations of pain arising from the musculoskeletal and visceral systems of the body. Therapeutic techniques are used to invoke deep relaxation and stress release by stimulating the parasympathetic (rest and repose) branch of the nervous system while structural techniques are used to release stored stress and trauma on the cellular level by liberating habitual patterns of tension in posture and movement. From achy joints and tense muscles, to "stuck" emotions and myofascial pain, massage can be beneficial and often offer relief when nothing else can.

Never forceful, never demanding, the massage techniques employed at Sense of Self focus on gently inviting and allowing the tissue, and ultimately the individual, to open, release and find a new, more balanced and authentic expression of oneself.
