People need right now bodywork with intention; deep connection to touch the pain and release it from the body. Over 16 years I have been honing the Sterkenburg Effect with this guiding question during a session: "What Does This Body Need?" to be pain--free and motion-maximized? The basis of my method is deep tissue bodywork focusing on releasing the back, tightness in jaws (tmj) and hips. Accupressure and myofascial release open the neck, shoulders, hips. Attention on wrists/elbows to make sure those are not 'out', as well as checking ankle/knees for any holding spots. The guiding principle is 'Release and Re-Align

The feedback I get over and over from my long-time clients is how this is a unique bodywork experience that is effective to alleviating the pain from chronic issues as tmj, ...

Exploring the question: "What does this body need?" – to be alleviated of chronic muscular discomfort is the guide to applying my knowledge of deep tissue bodywork to relieve stressed-out humans. My "release and re-align" approach uses palpating to locate the blockage of movement/circulation/flow, then applying intelligent deep tissue to release those areas. The result is alleviation of tension & tightness, and improved range of motion; restrictions removed. I employ unconventional access to the inside of the jaw/joint and into the armpit, for example, to release shoulder and neck, tmj pain.
My unique approach not only touches the pain, it alleviates tension in a way few massage experiences can provide, in a way most people find they need to maintain top performance and pain-free existence.
