When I was 9 I was in two big car accidents, leaving me with a permanent migraine that ebbed and flowed like the tide, and very constricted neck and shoulder muscles. I also did ballet, which gave my legs a habitual turn-out and my posture a particular slouch. I'm now 28, and the only thing that is provides results are massage and chiropractic work, and the only professionals whose results last, are very, very few who are able to listen to, understand, and learn from the complexity of our bodies and the memories they internalize, and respond with a combination of techniques.
So far I have only seen Daniela once, a month ago, and she identified, among several things, that my ballet leg turn-out is a factor preventing me from maintaining a healthy posture. Like a sculptor she put them back into position, warning that potentially they may need more work later on. However this has not been the case, and on the contrary, my legs have stayed where they should and it is now uncomfortable to stand with that turn-out. I feel balanced, rooted, relaxed through my torso, I don't push my hips forward, it has been easier to go jogging, my body feels more like a whole system.
Daniela is a source of creative energy and it inspiring and insightful to work with such a professional. read more
