BASIC TEN SERIES
The Basic Ten Series consists of ten sessions, each building on the last. Each session lasts approximately one hour and can be scheduled anywhere from three a week to one a month. At the time of the first session, the client may complete a health questionnaire. The client then undresses down to underwear/ bathing suit and “before session one” photographs may be taken to assist with evaluation as the series progresses. Then while the client lie’s on the table the practitioner begins to work with the client’s connective tissue (fascia). Applying pressure to the myofascial tissue, the practitioner will use hands, arms and sometimes elbow to carefully move the tissue. The relationship between the tissue, the rhythms of respiration, nervous system responses and organization in gravity is all part of the practitioner’s work. The client is a participant, often being asked to breathe into the area being worked on, to make small movements through the joint, and to discuss the patterns of movement and the use of gravity through that movement.
