Myofascial release
Sustained, patient pressure applied to the fascia, the connective tissue that wraps muscle, bone and organ. The aim is to address restriction and improve tissue mobility, working at the pace the tissue allows.

The invitation
Slower, more specific work.
Phoenix Integrative Bodywork is a private practice for people who want hands-on work that pays attention to the whole body: the connective tissue, the nervous system, the organs and the fascia that surrounds them.
Sessions are unhurried and one-to-one. Tricia Powell, LMT, combines several manual approaches in a single session, guided by what she feels in your tissue and what you tell her about how your body is doing. There is no set routine to move through.
It tends to suit people with long-held tension, people who have tried standard massage and want something more precise, and people who simply want to be listened to with the hands. It is not a substitute for medical care, and it does not diagnose or treat medical conditions.
Three ways of working
Different layers, one conversation.
Visceral manipulation
Gentle manual work around the abdomen and the connective tissue that supports the organs. Because the organs and the musculoskeletal system share fascial connections, this layer can change how the whole trunk feels and moves.
Craniosacral therapy
A light-touch approach focused on the head, spine and sacrum. Quiet, slow and listening in nature, it is often chosen by people who want to be touched less and noticed more.
Work that meets the body where it actually is, then waits long enough to learn something.
