Structural Decompression is a stable resetting of the Atlas vertebra (1st cervical vertebra/where the neck and cranium meet) plus a soft tissue overhaul of the hips, spine, and neck, all in a single comprehensive treatment. With the help of a special oscillating percussion tool, Structural Decompression™ accomplishes spinal elongation and joint freedom by releasing individual contractures of the fibrous connective tissues around the bones and joints of the hips, spine and neck.
It focuses on freeing the soft tissue contractures around the Atlas, called “The 5 Axes” of the body in classic Chinese medicine. “The 5 Axes” are five muscle-fascia groups that function as the primary support for our central structure (hips and pelvis on up to cranium). Classical Chinese medicine emphasizes the importance of the 5 Axes in maintaining good posture, freedom of movement, freedom from pain, as well as the proper free exchange of qi, blood, and fluids between upper and lower, front and back. The comprehensive design of Structural Decompression Technique™ breaks up contractures in all 5 Axes, releases the contractures in the soft tissue around the sacrum, and hips, including all the major fibrous connective tissue attachments of the pelvic axes. It decompresses and releases the soft tissue along the spine and opens up the primary acupuncture channels that are associated with the vertebral column. Classical Chinese medicine asserts that movement and posture strongly contribute to form. Tension in any of the 5 Axes, if it becomes habitual, can alter the structures of the neck, the hip-pelvis structure, the spine, the way we hold our shoulders, and more. Structural Decompression™ releases the holding patterns in the 5 Axes and allows the individual to rebuild the proper relationship between these muscle groups and their bony structures. One comprehensive session lasts, on the average, about 2.5 hours.
