Connective Tissue Therapy
Connective tissue therapy is a form of massage that aims to release myofascial (connective tissue) restrictions in the body, and to break up any restrictive scar tissue. It has also been known to help relieve chronic tension, to increase the body’s range of motion, to improve posture and to enhance the natural harmony of the entire body and mind.
Also known as bindegewebsmassage, connective tissue therapy was developed in Germany by Elizabeth Dicke, a physical therapist. After being diagnosed with a serious health problem, she experimented with different types of massage on herself. She found when she applied light pressure through the skin and connective tissue in one area of the body, there was a related effect at a distant site.
This technique consists of the practitioner subtly hooking her fingers into the skin and superficial connective tissue while performing a dragging or pulling stroke that somewhat stretches the skin. It is relaxing at the same time as promoting healing. Connective Tissue Therapy can be used as a general rebalancing tool as well as to treat specific imbalances in the body. Sessions are 60 minutes.
