Using yoga postures as a model for the possibilities of applied stretching in conjunction with deep tissue massage, the client is passive while the therapist moves from head to toe, front and back massaging muscles and applying deep stretches, leans and compressions to the client.Through gentle pressure along energy lines, the client's body begins to open and regain flexibility and ease of movement, while the mind gently returns to calm alertness. The effect is uniquely relaxing as well as energizing.
