why how you walk matters

Massage is about lengthening tight fascia and muscles.  But how we stand and move also determines how our muscles lengthen or shorten into set patterns over time.  This is why massage is only one part of healing and wholeness.
 
Believe it or not, how we walk is an important piece of the healing puzzle.  It’s why I spend time really opening your feet and calves so that you can walk correctly, which is something most of us have never learned.  We just stood up and started walking, and everyone cheered.  But if you really want the full benefit of a massage, you’ll also want to practice good posture and walking patterns so that your body can release its old painful patterns and create new healthy ones.
