Shoulder Rescue Series: The Bodyfix Method
What is the Bodyfix Method?
The Bodyfix Method is a form of treatment for chronic and traumatic pain, developed by Elaine’s mentor and Exercise Physiologist, Bill Boland. Through his personal experience and decades of studies, Bill Boland created Bodyfix Method as a means of treating the underlying misalignment that causes chronic pain. By emphasizing balance and alignment throughout the whole body (not just at the sight of pain), clients can achieve greater access to mobility and comfort at any stage in life. Clients of Bodyfix Method are given a postural evaluation, administered hands on therapeutics, and are taught simple but effective restorative exercises. These techniques combined help the practitioner shed unconscious and harmful movement patterns that cause imbalance and poor biomechanics. Chronic pain vanishes when biomechanics are improved and alignment is restored.
Elaine has been a practitioner of Bodyfix Method since 2014. Under the guidance of Bill Boland, Elaine has adapted the practices and principles of Bodyfix Method’s one-on-one therapeutic sessions to a group class format called Sit, Stand + Balance. SS+B was one of 2nd Story’s popular Community Classes pre-pandemic, and Elaine’s instalment of the Shoulder Rescue Series revisits SS+B’s unique but practical approach to moving well throughout our lives. I hope you can join me for May 8th’s workshop. Full description below!
Shoulder Rescue Series Workshop on May 8th at 2:30pm (Livestream)
Does it seem like your shoulders remain tight and sore despite regular exercise and stretching? If stiff shoulders seem like a constant problem, then you may need to look elsewhere for the solution! Elaine’s practice of the Bodyfix Method is a uniquely holistic approach to pain and restriction in movement. Students will identify connections throughout their body, and will come to understand that tight shoulders may be an effect of instability elsewhere. We’ll focus on shoulders, but also attend to the ribs, pelvis, hips and ankles for more understanding of how our shoulders respond to tightness or weakness elsewhere. You’ll leave with a new set of tools for keeping your shoulders happy!
