This is what fascia work can accomplish. The lump at the back of the neck is actually bound connective tissue (fascia)! The bound shoulder in the photo can be the result of an injury or even postural issues.

Cellulite, lumps and knots around the hips and thighs (men too!) and joints, can become painful.

Regular fascia work can relieve pain, restore mobility and spinal flexibility.

The Detox Center is on Del Fino Place, in the heart of Carmel Valley Village.

Schedule an appointment 24/7 using my online calendar. I hope to see you soon!

I'm so grateful to work with such amazing people

“Amazing, just absolutely amazing!” Is what I say to Jani as we finish up.

I so trust Jani's strong healing hands. Her deep bodywork touches more than just the physical body; for me, it’s emotionally and soulfully releasing too. Our work together is as a team; while guiding her with my feedback, she leads with confident expertise. She teaches as she goes; I’m learning so much from her! Her genuine, caring intent and being of service to lend healing is palpable. The healing environment she’s created is both calming and lovely. Jani’s a precision/polished professional; immaculate, on time, businesslike. She’s profoundly kind and giving while grounded, and passionate about her practice.

I’m extremely appreciative to have her in my life; she’s a treasure. The best!

Hello, friends!

I found a cool article on pubmed that explains my type of bodywork performing instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization over on Del Fino Place in the Village. My approach is very gentle.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28349028/

"...instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) refers to a technique that uses instruments to remove scar tissues from injured soft tissues and facilitate healing process through formation of new extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen. Recently, frequent use of this instrument has increased in the fields of sports rehabilitation and athlete training. Some experimental studies and case reports have reported that IASTM can significantly improve soft tissue function and range of motion following sports injury, while also reducing pain. Based on the previous studies, it is thought that IASTM can help shorten the rehabilitation period and time to return to sports among athletes and ordinary people who have suffered sports injuries.
IASTM studies that have mostly focused on tendons need to broaden their scope toward other soft tissues such as muscles and ligaments..."

My practice focuses on soft tissue remodeling as a means to release tension and impingement of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints, even around organs and the digestive tract. 😀
Have a beautiful day!
