Fascial Maneuvers for workplaces and education settings
Simple guided movements that release tension, calm the nervous system and help staff manage stress, at work and at home.
Stress builds up in the body as tight shoulders, a stiff neck and back, shallow breathing and a nervous system stuck in "always on". Fascial Maneuvers are gentle guided movements, combined with breathing, that release that tension and help the body settle.
I've spent many years working in stressful environments, so I know how much staff carry and how little time they have. The techniques need no special equipment or room, so staff can use them to deal with stress in the moment, and keep using them throughout the day: at a desk, in a classroom, during a break or at home.
