In today’s fast-paced world, physical and emotional pain can make you feel left behind. Shayna’s trauma-aware practice draws on your own physical resources to regain your wellbeing. There’s more to getting better than just trying harder.

An Alternative Therapy for Chronic Pain

Automatic muscle tension patterns might be interfering with your recovery. Like a tape recording running in the background, muscles can tighten up without your knowing it. At other times these tension patterns break through and you feel neck, shoulder or back pain, or stomach upset. Interestingly, these tension patterns can also affect your mood and how you connect with others. When our bodies are tight, it’s hard to be open to what others are saying. When our muscles are relaxed, we can be more flexible.

This therapy will help you become aware of these tightness patterns at an earlier stage and we’ll explore specific techniques that help you ease them.

Could this be the right fit?
