“The origin of our neuromuscular dysfunction is rooted in our movement strategy… we need to return to moving from our center, whole body movement.”

the wholebody view & brain mapping 

The WholeBody View is a hands-on bodywork approach to touch and

movement therapy that utilizes gentle invitational movements as  

"brain mapping scans". These techniques facilitate profound relaxation

while releasing deep-seated restrictive bodymind patterns. Most recipients

report an immediate increase in neuromuscular mobility and a return towards one’s

optimal performance. The WholeBody View has therapeutic applications in massage, physical, and occupational therapies. This ground-breaking method will lead both practitioner and client to greater overall well being and function.

​

the essence: 

The essence and foundation of the WholeBody View is that we are naturally designed and brilliantly organized to initiate all movement from our center as one unified whole body. Anything less than a whole body approach to movement is “segmenting.” This restrictive approach is the most inefficient and stressful strategy for moving our body through our day’s activities. Long term segmenting establishes restrictive movement patterns that lead to neuromuscular dysfunction developing an environment for injury and trauma. In this View segmenting is the origin of our neuromuscular dysfunction. Initiating movement from our center diffuses the effort throughout our entire structure negating point loading or overly stressing specific areas in our body. Often one's immediate experience is the restoration of ease, freedom, safe and well balanced movement. Through this method everyone is capable of improving and experiencing greater function no matter your age and condition.
