During an appointment

You may notice gentle, focused pressure, sustained contact, or a stretching sensation around the areas being treated. Some areas may feel tender, while others may feel relaxing. Let Bee know how the contact feels so she can adjust the pressure, pace, or positioning.
Individual suitability
How Bee considers it
Bee may consider fascial release of neck and cranium if you experience neck tension, posture-related discomfort, tension headaches or migraines. She considers your health history, symptoms, assessment findings, and treatment goals before deciding whether this approach is appropriate. A recent head injury or suspected concussion requires appropriate medical assessment.
