The objective of “Body Alignment and Harmony” is to reduce physical discomfort, enhancing energy flows for achieving body-mind association.

Integrating techniques from modalities that focus on alignment can contribute to a more harmonious well-being

Balanced Musculoskeletal Coordination

Proper alignment encourages the balanced engagement of muscles, preventing overuse or underuse of specific muscle groups. This balanced muscle activity contributes to overall body harmony and coordination

Fluidity of movement

Body alignment supports efficient and coordinated movement patterns. While engaging in various physical activities, proper alignment contributes to fluid and harmonious movements

Reduced physical and mental strain

Proper body alignment and distribution of weight evenly across joints and muscles, reduce the strain on specific areas. This can lead to decreased discomfort, muscle tension, and fatigue, fostering a sense of harmony within the body

Body-mind association

Achieving body alignment often involves awareness of how the body moves and feels. This increased awareness enhances a stronger mind-body connection, promoting harmony between physical sensations and mental well-being

Emotional harmony

Maintaining an upright and aligned posture can positively influence mood and confidence, contributing to emotional harmony

Improved Breathing

Body alignment plays a pivotal role in respiratory function. When the spine is aligned, the chest can expand more freely, allowing for deeper and more efficient breathing.

Somatic function of the joints

Maintaining proper alignment helps prevent excessive wear and tear on joints and can contribute to long-term joint health and reduce the risk of degenerative conditions.

Holistic wellness

Addressing physical alignment, emotional well-being, and mental health collectively contributes to an overall sense of harmony and balance.

Somatic Dysfunction of Joints

Somatic dysfunction is an impaired function of structural frame work of the body. This includes mostly musculoskeletal and myofascial systems nervous systems and to a lesser extent lymphatic and vascular systems. Majority of the times a somatic dysfunction presentation shows neighboring joint (s) involvement as well.

Somatic dysfunction can be triggered by an injury to the physical body or chronic postural habits/deviations/abnormalities or emotional disturbances followed by mechanical restriction due to hypertonic/hypotonic muscles and other soft tissue changes in the affected area.

They may also arise in response to damage or irritation to distal tissues through viscerosomatic reflexes.

Somatic Dysfunction of Joints is a series of workshops addressing individual joint dysfunction and correcting with musculoskeletal, myofascial and reflex corrections.
