Using joint release in a MER session enhances the work done on the myofascia for a complete holistic treatment. This module gives you a systematic approach to help loosen and mobilize major joints of the body and integrates beautifully with the deep work of the first five modules. It is experienced as pleasurable by most people and clients often report a feeling of more “space” in the joint, rather than just increased range. Tight and stiff joints can restrict the free transmission of force in the body. Like bridges between different body parts, joints can transfer energy and movement or restrict it. Fluid Body (FB) joint release is a gentle, non-forceful way of improving joint function through subtle traction, rotation and spiraling. Our bodies are mostly water and the practitioner follows the body’s inherent wave-like movements, using gentle, rhythmic motions to hydrate joints and invite release from within. It rehydrates joint capsules and improves the function of synovial fluid, the natural lubricant found in human joints. FB used in combination with deep work on the myofascia supports structural alignment and gives the body the opportunity to integrate the deeper work and release long held compensation patterns. It combines passive, flowing movement techniques with somatic awareness to release restrictions in the fascia and joints, promoting a sensation of “fluidity” and ease of movement. Your body is innately wired to heal when given the chance to do so and FB movements stimulate the body to detox and heal.
