SET is a deep tissue restructuring therapy that incorporates medical massage techniques, and is based addressing the client’s specific problem areas of pain. Often a structural imbalance is responsible for the soft tissue problems causing the discomfort, and part of the process of re-balancing the body is to first release the toxins and fluids in the muscles,inflammation, myofascial holding patterns, adhesions, and scar tissue.

Once the pain has been reduced,other structural limitations responsible for allowing the body to maintain the structural imbalances that produced the pain, are addressed.

Releasing the anterior neck pattern, restrictions in range of motion, and fibrous scar tissue.

For example, with a whiplash injury, the neck muscles are treated and brought back into a more balanced position, resulting in reduced pain. In order to maintain this balance and achieve maximum reduction in pain, the structural limitation and imbalances of the pelvis and thoracic need to be addressed, resulting in a total structural balance, supporting the neck to maintain a new pain-free status.
