Qualifications
Periosteal Bodywork
Periosteal bodywork focuses on deep muscle tension and muscle dysfunction caused by irritation of the periosteum and the thin covering that wraps around the bones.
How the Pain Develops
Muscles do not attach directly to the bone; they attach to the periosteum. When muscles stay tight over time, they pull hard on that covering and can irritate it.
How It Affects the Body
By massaging the bones in a specific, targeted way, deep tension can be released. The key is treating the bones like soft tissue and something that is widely overlooked in conventional practice.
How It Affects the Body
When the bones feel this way, that tension and upset can spread to the muscles and connective tissue surrounding them, creating a cycle of discomfort that standard massage techniques often fail to fully address.
