ELDOA- a European Osteopathic system of movement & held postures, developed by Guy VOYER DO, that includes joint specific strengthening & decoaptative postures (see example of an ELDOA in above video) that improve the hydration quality and spacing of your joints. ELDOA postures can decompress nerve roots. One must learn the necessary ELDOA from a certified ELDOA Trainer, such as myself, as the postures require several positional details. ELDOA is a French acronym that translates to LOADS (longitudinal osteo-articular decoaptative strengthening). Click to view a 2023 study on ELDOA for text neck

MYOFASCIAL STRETCHING & GLOBAL POSTURAL STRETCHING - from Guy VOYER DO’s Soma Training program, this system of stretching effectively gives mobility to a specific muscle’s intrinsic fascia as well as more global, extrinsic fascia. There is also a GPS for the fascia of the organs.
-
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE- hands-on manual therapy, focused on fascia/connective tissue, that gives you a feeling of freedom/flow in tight areas (chest, neck, shoulders, lower-back), by creating tissue melt & fascial stretch that clients really feel. Much more effective than your swedish/deep tissue massage with longer lasting results. Very supportive to your emotional system while manually creating better fascial glide as well as turning down excessive muscle spindle/nerve activity
-
PILATES METHOD- a system of exercises that build general core strength with abdominal centered movement, gluteal tone, shoulder stability, & spinal strength/flexibility
-
LOW PRESSURE FITNESS AKA Hypopressives- visceral deep abs- getting the deepest, innermost layers to lift/mobilize to optimal positions through a specific breathing maneuver, in different postures (Visceral maneuver created by learning the breath technique). Great for post-partum, post abdominal surgery, pelvic floor pressure issues, prevention of hernias, aesthetically creating beautiful abdominal definition, and reestablishing your connection to your bodies inner-most layers of support. These also improve your posture and can decrease bloating, as well as increasing your C02 tolerance (athletes).
