Intro to CAT (Core Alignment Technique)

Core Alignment Technique (CAT) is a unique mixture of body awareness technique inspired by a Feldenkrais exercise, Shiatsu, and Energy Work. This technique uses slow, repetitive, range-of-motion type movement and stretches. The emphasis is on releasing blockages in the pelvis or shoulders, and aligning the spine. It will improve movement restrictions and increase flexibility. This passive movement work is very relaxing and enables the client to safely re-program old habits and patterns on a physical and energetic level. CAT will takes your bodywork one step further, beyond the traditional prone/supine. Most of the work is done in side position and includes off the table neck techniques.

This work is especially beneficial for clients with chronic back, shoulder and neck pain and stiffness, frozen shoulder, spinal stenosis, and for clients who do not see significant results from regular massage.
