Body Work
Bodywork is a broad range of therapeutic techniques that involve hands-on manipulation of the body’s soft tissues, fascia, and energy systems to promote physical, emotional, and energetic balance. It is an important treatment option because it supports natural healing, reduces stress, relieves pain, and enhances overall well-being by addressing the root causes of tension and dysfunction.
