This integrative session combines, Proprioceptive-Deep Tendon Reflex (P-DTR®), NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT®) and Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy to address dysfunction at its neurological roots. The approach is grounded in neurofunctional and kinesiological principles, blending deep bodywork with targeted assessment and corrective techniques.

P-DTR is a cutting-edge, reflex-based neurological therapy that effectively addresses a wide range of functional issues, including musculoskeletal pain, digestive imbalances, and emotional dysregulation. These dysfunctions often originate in the nervous system and are sustained by reflexive compensation patterns.

NeuroKinetic Therapy, also known as Neuromuscular Reprogramming, uses manual muscle testing to identify and correct dysfunctional movement patterns stored in the brain. By assessing which muscles or structures in a movement chain are overactive (facilitated) or underactive (inhibited), we can focus on the root cause of imbalance rather than just managing symptoms.

When one part of the body isn’t functioning properly, other areas may compensate, leading to pain, tightness, fatigue, or restricted mobility. These patterns often develop in response to overuse, injury, stress, poor breathing mechanics, or long-standing movement habits. Through detailed assessment, we uncover these compensations with the understanding that many are secondary to a deeper issue.

This session also incorporates Ashiatsu, a barefoot massage technique in which the practitioner uses overhead bars for support while applying deep, broad pressure with the feet. Ashiatsu provides a grounding, nurturing touch that decompresses joints, elongates fascia, and creates a sense of spaciousness throughout the body.

The primary goal is to identify and treat the prime driver - the core imbalance triggering the body’s compensatory responses. Once addressed, the nervous system can reset, restoring balance, ease, and natural function.

Immerse yourself in the profoundly integrative experience of Esalen® Massage, a practice that harmonizes body, mind, and spirit through mindful touch and fluid, long strokes. This presence-based approach utilizes a variety of techniques and theories, working 'with' the body rather than 'on' it.
