ALISON TACZALO
Living in Durban for the past 20 years, I have dabbled in everything from surfing, stand-up paddle boarding, running, swimming, and yoga. Living an active lifestyle, although great for body and mind, has left me with a share of injuries.
At first, I found myself bouncing around from sports massage to chiropractic treatment with little or no real relief. It was only when I took a holistic look at my body and explored fascia release that I began feeling healed.
My body responded well and was I blown away at this gentler approach to helping the body balance and heal itself. So much so, in fact, that I started to study, and practice Fascia Release Massage Therapy.
Over the years, I have a newfound respect for for how mental and physical health can affect the balance of the body. We underestimate how much stress and anxiety can affect how the body operates. This paired with an unsupportive diet, and the body's history of knocks, tumbles, broken bones, heavy falls, and scar tissue, eventually takes its toll.
​
I work with the body's pain threshold, taking into account the full body history and looking for weakness throughout the body. Often where we experience pain, feel discomfort, or are limited in range of motion, is not the cause.
My intention with each session is to restore balance and reconnect the mind and body.
