Aston-Patterning® Forms:
Bodywork:
is a system that includes three forms: Aston Massage, which is basic bodywork, is non-compressive, and virtually painless utilizing a "three-dimensional touch" that releases daily and accumulated tension. A specialized form of myofascial release called Myo-Kinetics, which releases deeply embedded structural holding patterns within the soft tissue network. To address skeletal holding patterns, Arthro-Kinetics provides release at joints and along bony surfaces. The purpose of this three-fold system is to decrease holding and to create new movement options.

Aston-Patterning, in its application, draws from all the above tools as needed. The diversity and richness of techniques available makes it an unusually powerful system for helping clients neutralize the negative effects of past history and grow into a more comfortable, confident and knowledgeable future.
