DO YOU SUFFER FROM CONDITIONS THAT ARE HOLDING YOU BACK? IT IS TIME TO TREAT THE CAUSE INSTEAD OF THE SYMPTOMS!

  What to Expect During a SRT Treatment

An SRT session begins with an evaluation that includes a written client intake form, a consultation to assess the client's condition further, and, if necessary, a postural analysis. Treatments often begin with cranial structural therapy to initiate a release of the body's holding patterns and thereby begin the rebalancing. At this point, the client's body begins to unwind. This often releases enough tension to reduce spasms and pain symptoms, preparing the soft tissue for more extensive work.

Following the cranial releases, if needed, the SRT therapist can work from the superficial myofascial layers then to the deeper layers. The therapist combines myofascial restructuring, deep tissue therapy, scar tissue and adhesional-specific fiber techniques,  and rehabilitative massage techniques. The tight muscle fibers resisting the unwinding process are addressed explicitly as the client's body unwinds and releases. Since the SRT therapist can work from the superficial to deep layers in one session, the result is increased balance and pain relief beginning with the first session.

Each additional session starts with an evaluation of the client's progress, both subjectively and objectively. This is followed with a postural analysis to determine the limiting factor affecting recovery and muscle testing to verify postural analysis observations. The treatment process is the same as in the first session, addressing the specific patterns and restrictions presented at the time.

Using applied kinesiology and muscle testing to find dysfunction and body reading to identify postural imbalances, SRT treatments are the most effective and time-efficient massage therapy. 80% of people are born with a basic common core pattern, spiral distortion, affecting the whole body. Through an accumulation of repetitive motions, poor postural patterns, gravity, and physical, mental, and psychological compensations, the body tends to move into a progressive collapse of this core distortion, which can result in painful symptoms, conditions, and restrictions throughout the body.

 Clients with acute problems usually have more toxins, swelling, and inflammation in their soft tissues. These are addressed more than the myofascial changes initially. As the toxins, swelling, and inflammation are reduced, the emphasis shifts to the myofascial changes necessary to bring a closer balance to the overall structure.

 Clients with chronic problems also need a similar sequence to those with acute problems. However, they usually do not notice a substantial reduction in pain until the structural changes are integrated. Their bodies have had more time to involve the entire structure in a common core pattern that supports the problem.

After SRT Treatments

 As the structure integrates into structural support, clients will usually start to use their bodies more completely in their normal day-to-day activities. At this point, their bodies need to be strengthened to support their new structurally aligned posture. It is important for the clients to be aware that they may not be as strong as they feel and to allow time to build strength before using their bodies in maximum effort (either in strength or endurance). If they overdo it, they usually collapse back to their old structure and end up in pain or strain muscle fibers that are not conditioned for heavy work. Exercises to strengthen the (intrinsic) stabilizing muscles are more helpful than exercises that strengthen the (extrinsic) muscles, large muscle groups that move the body.
