“In bodywork, it’s imperative to maintain boundaries that protect and benefit the therapist client relationship. Working at the expense of your own body creates an energetic vulnerability and disharmony with the overall goals of care. We are working to support a healing container – this happens best by putting the wellness of the providing healer first. To stretch, press, pull and squeeze tissue requires patience, care and attention to ‘how’ we are doing our work. We invite tissue and tension to release and avoid ‘stripping’ muscle tissue. ”
