CORE FASCIAL RELEASE
Cox order & restore energy
The goal of any Core Fascial Release session is to build integrity & strength into the body by inviting the client to discover where & how they are stuck, and how they might change the way they live as they become unstuck. CORE systematically works through the connective tissue/fascia of your body to find where there is tension, pain, restriction, add movement, breath and to create EASE.
