Steven
has blended global lines of myofascial tension (Myers) (Schleip) (Paoletti),
with articular receptor facilitation to unwrap and unwind soft-tissue
with little or no force. He has drawn from the work of Micheal Shea for
Autonomic Nervous System approach and expression as the foundation of
any soft-tissue work, and Craniosacral therapy to facilitate change to
transverse planes.
Techniques
include the ‘Two Point’ , the ‘Fulcrum’, Static & Leverage
Compressions which are introduced simply and one dimensionally, then
combined by ‘osteopathic stacking’ to introduce more complex
releasing patterns with constant autonomic nervous system awareness,
expression and response. Sound structural underpinning knowledge with an
indirect approach, allows the practitioner to work more quietly and
effectively.
Dynamic,
playful, profound and informative is his trademark as an educator.
