HOW TO WORK WITH EXCELSIOR

You know your body best. We aim to help you know it better. And provide insight and expertise to help you do so. Sometimes issues alleviate, or goals are discovered and met, in one session. More complex issues or goals can take longer. Clients schedule treatment or coaching at a pace that works for them. We have clients that visit the clinic once or twice a week for several weeks until a desired outcome is reached. Others visit bi-monthly or monthly. And others come as-needed. Many clients take advantage of weekly classes, or schedule regular coaching session.

Excelsior Bodywork does not prescribe a one-size-fits-all path. We support you in your individual goals, needs, and evolution in treatment and training.

  • Most clients begin with a consult to assess, discuss, and explore how the work may help.

  • From there, many schedule a full treatment session and see what results are attained.

  • Clients use coaching and classes to gain education and support to preserve their results.

  • All clients learn CARs whether participating in clinic, coaching or classes.


WHAT TO EXPECT

HOW WE BEGIN

Treatment sessions begin with a functional assessment through which we'll come to an agreement about where you might benefit most from change in your structure. Coaching sessions often begin with CARs warm ups.

WHAT TO WEAR

For coaching and classes: wear clothing you’re comfortable in and can move freely in. For Integrative Bodywork Sessions, muscle and connective tissue is often treated through contacting parts of the skin. Many clients wear shorts and tank top/tshirt to make this possible. Above all, be comfortable.

WHAT TO EXPECT

In the clinic, the work can be intense; few changes happen without challenge. We won't give you more than you can take. You should take as much as you can. We'll all meet in the middle. We'll call for movements and remind you to breathe, these simple intentions will guide you through. And, the work isn't ALL challenge. Much of it is calming and restorative. Like a good play, sessions ramp up, reach a peak, and resolve with some denouement.
