The whole therapeutic industry is based on war. They're trying to force the body into complying. To forcefully soften tight muscles, stretch them, enforce a 'right posture', 'break scar tissue', crack joints, even surgically immobilize parts of the body.
The Functional Muscle Manipulation negotiates with the autonomic nervous system and convinces it that it's safe to let go of all that chronic defensive contraction that has been causing you stiffness, pain, compression, dissociation, pain, neuropathies, even chronic inflammation and destruction of joints.
Because the body 'lets us in', we can go deeper than deep tissue, yet without pain.
Because we don't attack, your brain doesn't 'withdraw' or drift away and your body doesn't fight back.
So, we overcome dissociation and restore the ability to sense your muscles contracting when you are challenged, before you're stuck in that reaction and develop symptoms.
That means that you can feel when your body contracts, and release and stay healthy for years after our therapy.
Chronic headaches and migraines, neuropathies such as carpal tunnel, frozen shoulder, sciatica, spinal alterations such as scoliosis, chronic stiffness and pains can completely heal and you can stay well for years after a series of sessions.
We don't just treat problems. We remove the obstacles that block the self-healing of your body. You heal.
You learn how to breathe deep, activate your vagus nerve and your self-healing restore self-healing.
History
Established in 1989.
George Rodafinos developed the Functional Muscle Manipulation in 1989, an advanced neuromuscular / deep tissue technique that goes deeper, without pain, and can heal your chronic muscle/skeletal problems and neuropathies for years to come.
The FMM releases the chronic defensive patterns of the autonomic nervous system that keep your muscles tight and your body hurting.
Initially based in Europe, he got invited to different countries to treat people and present his work, including to Saudi Arabia for a princess and to Cyprus on their no1 TV show.
Since 2014 he practices in the US.
Currently in Hollywood, CA, DeeperLayers is the home where Rodafinos and his colleague and student Alexis Dacosta practice the Functional Muscle Manipulation.
Rodafinos is also working to teach and spread the FMM to California, and eventually the world.
Alexis is an amazing healer that practices the FMM to its full potential.
