About ConTact C.A.R.E

In essence, ConTact C.A.R.E is the practice of gently assisting the body to release trapped pressure from bone. ConTact C.A.R.E practitioners identify areas in the skeleton where injury from impact or force has occurred.

An impact can lock shock and kinetic pressure into the bone, causing it to ‘flinch’ and freeze in a contracted state. This flinchlock creates dense tension, which distorts and hardens fascia, stretches muscles, and tightens ligaments in the affected area.

Flinchlocks have far-reaching effects, leading to chronic referred pain, anxiety, headaches, and other issues as the body compensates to maintain its new normal.

Emotional pressures, trauma, and tension can also accumulate within a flinchlock, meaning the body has the potential to release these stored burdens and restore balance.

The ConTact C.A.R.E Approach

  • Empty light blue circular outline on a white background

    Comfort

    I will ask you to find your comfort position. We will work together to achieve this.

  • A blue spiral pattern creating a hypnotic visual effect.

    Identify

    I search your skeletal system to identify areas of density and locked trauma.

    Release

    I will gently release the skeletal sensory shock from the bone.

  • I will assess your body, observing your movement and taking note of what I see. You will fill out a form, telling me what you are feeling and where.

    I will consistently ask you to “get comfortable”. We will work together to find the best position for you – whether that’s sitting, lying, standing – or a mixture of all!

    I will then commence working on your body, applying gentle pressure with a series of “releases”.

    Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.

  • $80 per session.

  • The entire premise of ConTact C.A.R.E is that it is gentle, safe and pain free.

    We work to support your body to do what it already wants to do – unravel to its “normal” state.

    We ensure you are comfortable throughout the whole session.

  • Sessions range from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

    The length of the session does not dictate how you will feel afterwards. Everyone’s body is different and my goal is to do as much as your body needs.

  • Every person is unique, and your injuries are, also. You may find you feel lighter, more energetic and have less pain immediately afterwards.

    For some people, some discomfort may occur for a short time. This is actually good news, as it means your body is unravelling and changing back to “normal”.

  • Everyone is different, depending on the extent of your injuries in life.

    Some people find full recovery occurs after just one or two sessions.

    Others need multiple sessions as we uncover new areas of skeletal sensory shock over time.

  • New and old injuries and traumas, including (but not limited to):

    • Car accidents

    • Sports injuries, sprains, hits and falls

    • Occupational tension

    • Sciatic pain

    • Pinched nerves

    • TMJ disorder

    • Headaches and migraines

    • Inflammation

    Fibromyalgia

    • Head injuries/whiplash

    • Anxiety, sleep issues

    • Sensory disorders including vertigo

    • Gut problems

    • Skin issues like eczema

    • Carpal tunnel syndrome

    • and more

We work with the facts - this modality is safe, sensible, simple and self-evident.
