⚜️ Investments


You are building a foundation for the rest of life.



Just like you learn basic skills to be able to advance in your profession, health for life requires the same investment. In the ideal world it is taught and mastered from a young age.



However, in US society, this simply is not the case. Many large capitalist forces even benefit from the people remaining in poor health - the pharmaceutical, junk-food, and medical insurance industries, and those that accept payment from such, to name a few direct profiteers.



Taking a stand on one's health is more than just a declaration.



It is choosing to wade upstream, until the stream changes direction to flow along with our need for health.

​​

​

At Gorge Mobility Massage, we make mastering this process as efficient, as easy, and as sustainable as possible.

​

​

It still requires time, energy, and finance - in the same manner way that training for a profession might.

​

​

​

In this case, we are training for long-term memory, mobility, balance, comfort, peace, and strength.



​

For mastering the basic requirements ensuring the golden years
are enjoyed to the fullest,



instead of diminished by a gradual increase in pain, discomfort, loss of body and brain function.

​​

​

​

To save time and money, and to make it easy for patients to invest in this process, we offer custom treatment packages, based on individual need.



In general, however, the following packages may be requested:

11 Visits for the Price of 10 (or 6 visits for $50 off)

23 Visits for the Price of 20

47 Visits for the Price of 40

​

Each visit is billed at a flat rate of $170 (time-of-service discount), although may be higher if billed to insurance, given the additional costs of working with insurance carriers.



We may offer sliding-scale discounts to those with high-need, and/or may offer lower rates for shorter, more frequent visits, or ask for a higher rate for a longer visit.

In general, visits last 90 min, though may go longer or briefer depending on patient need, goals, and preference.
​

To paint a picture . . .

Let's say you came in every week for 52 weeks at an average of $150/visit. That would total $600/mo, or $7,200 for a year.

You would be in relative comfort, and set yourself up with habits that would optimize comfort and balance for life.

The same habits would prevent disease, imbalance, and injury.

They would protect against cognitive decline and improve or maintain memory.

On the other side, failure to change would lead to the following outcome:
- Spending tens of thousands on surgeries or medications to treat dis-eases and injuries that could've been prevented.

- Spending months if not years recovering from the emotional and physical consequences of such surgeries
- Accelerated decline from the burdens (on time, and on the organs) of constant medication

- Diminishment of quality of life, and of the precious time with community, and with loved ones.

​

​

The great American thinker (and nature-educator) Ralph Waldo Emerson once stated


"The first wealth is health."

To say that investing in working on health could save you time, love, and money, in the long run, would not be an understatement.

Why is an expert health practitioner necessary?


Nourishing the body in a world full of distractions is like swimming upstream.

There is so much information out there, it's hard to know where to start.

Vegan, carnivore's diet, south beach?

.

What is right for me?


Or,

Perhaps I know precisely where to start.


And for a week, or two,



I can focus on it, long enough to see a change.


Yet, I get distracted and lose all my progress.



This same pattern repeats over and over again until I begin doubting whether I was even doing the right thing in the first place!

.

Our practitioner has over 16 years of professional training and experience in health education, traditional medicine, and care of patients.

This experience nourishes an understanding of what is most important to health, and in which order,



and

how to provide this education in the most efficient

and sustaining Way.


This means no running around in circles like a chicken with it's head cut off,



or like a rodent on the hamster wheel.



We place the hamster wheel on a highway to health,

and place safety bars along the road.

.

We help the patient learn where to stop and rest,

and when to keep on riding onward.




As a patient is ready, we hand them the map,

and share the laws of the land;



continuing to share until the most important details are embodied.


Will it take time? Yes.



But far less than attempting to do it all on your own.


That wasn't working anyways.



Will it take money? yes.



But far less than the financial (and mental-emotional) costs of preventable disease, and their related medications and surgeries.

Change: An emotional journey

​

Change is not easy, and may require moving through various emotions including but not limited to fear of self, fear of change,
fear of losing love or approval of others,

fear of loneliness,

fear of success.

Change requires moving through discomfort,

and returning the mind continually to place of most benefit.

We have written a book chapter discussing change-dynamics, available for free download.
👉🏻 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JCl8ZkL4Ac7bJlASIDju97LdueAgugsi/view?usp=sharing

It is quick and easy to read.
It is meant to be read until embodied,

instilling perspectives that encourage moving forward in the best possible way.


One reading that describes change, also included in the chapter -
is Portia Nelson's "Autobiography in 5 chapters."


AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE CHAPTERS I
by Portia Nelson


I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in.
I am lost ... I am hopeless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.


II

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I'm in the same place. But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.


III

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it’s a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.


IV

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.

V

I walk down another street.

⚜️ How long will it take for me to resolve my dis-ease /
meet my health goals for good?

Dis-ease essentially means a lack of ease.

Something has occurred that makes living less easeful, in the body, and/or the mind.

Dis-ease may originate in patterns acquired from repetitive behaviors, life experiences, genetics, environmental or family conditioning.
Reversing or better managing disease means replacing or better managing these patterns with new ones.

​

The science of healing looks at which behaviors restore balance, comfort, clarity, and strength. Health is maintaining these qualities, in spite of life's challenges.

​

All change requires consistent effort, applied strategically, over time.

​​

​

How long does it take for change to stick?

While the answer depends on a number of factors (including how long something has been around, time available to devote to learning and implementing new routines, and to invest in regular treatment), change generally happens according to the following:

1) It takes . . .
1️⃣ day to change your mind

3️⃣0️⃣ days to change the emotions

9️⃣0️⃣ days to change the blood chemistry (hormonal patterns)

1️⃣ year of implementing a new behavior for it to stick in the body, becoming 2nd nature

2) However many years something has been around, divide that in two - that's how many months of regular visits it will take to resolve.

While these findings are general principles originating in the findings of medical and spiritual traditions over millennia, they are supported by modern findings in neurobiology.

🥑 When beginning a new practice, or behavior, although a patient may be aware of this next best step for some time, it only takes a moment to make the choice to step boldly forward.

Thus, only 1 day to shift the mind. ​

🥑 At the 30 day mark, new connections have been forming in the nerve networks of the brain, reinforcing the new behavior.

Although in the beginning of change, there may be physical resistance to the new behavior; at some point it is normal to start craving the new behavior.

Usually at this point, some benefits from the new behaviors are being noticed, at which point new mental stories also encourage the behavior to grow in strength. Thus, "30 days to change the emotions."

🥑 At the 90 day mark of consistently pursuing change, these new connections in the brain can show up as positive structural changes (e.g. 8 weeks of mindfulness meditation increased nerve-cell density in the areas of the brain associated with memory, and nervous-system regulation, with decreases in the regions associated with fear and negative emotion) (Calderone et al., 2024; reference link below reading).

Blood cells also completely replace them selves every 2-4 months. Hormones are held and distributed in the blood, and hormonal patterns correspond to shifts in the heart and mind.

(See photo section for table of turnover rate for different cells)

This means, around the 90 day mark of consistently implementing change, old entrenched behaviors or thought patterns - things that appear comfortable, but that are not good for what's best - begin to lose their ability to "grab us." There is greater clarity around what is good, and greater strength to follow through with it.

​

Deeply-entrenched trauma or childhood conditioning is often stored at even deeper levels, and therefore takes longer to shift. It's symptoms and related patterns may shift more easily; and still - habits or relational patterns acquired more recently commonly lose their pull at the 90 day mark.

​

By this point, while the biology is shifting more deeply into alignment with our desired health shift, the mental recognition of the benefits of the new behaviors is also stronger, motivating us to keep taking the next best step.

We may feel contentment with this new groove in life, and may even notice the new behaviors shifting daily mood, personality, and outlook.

Thus, "it takes 90 days to shift the bio-rythms (and blood chemistry)."

🥑 By this point, a great number of benefits are coming to the surface. The next step is really making the new behaviors solid, habits for life.

Persistently pursing a change for a year brings it to the deeper layers of the body, making these new behaviors second nature - meaning they continue nourishing what's best in life, without us having to give them much attention.

This does not mean it is not work or not effortful at times; it simply means we have given the new habits enough time to show their benefit, and to stick around; that the work to maintain health is extremely clear, and the benefits so apparent that we cannot but be committed to continuing.

Thus, it takes "1 year to change the body."
